Hertzka told hts plan to the world four years ago in a book entitled "Fred , land, a Picture of the Future. The book was written In the peculiar styie which the author had acquired in writ ing standard works on political econo my, and, therefore, the professors and newsptiptw critics thought it dMtlned for the top shelf. They did not believe that the thin romance attached to the person of Miss EHea Fo*. and A rt can girl, would save it, but the Pr f™ and critics were wrong In The remained Ts ot. reformers’ dcsks and Unglcd sentences stuck In reformers’ minds un tn a regular “Freeland” movement started in Germany and Austria-Hun gary then spread to England and France, and finally, so Hertzka and his European agents say, spread over Atlantic to America. Within two years some twenty so (defies were formed in Europe to help Hertzka found his new colony ln Af rlea. At the end of 1892 the number had Increased to thirty. Now it Is forty or fifty, and the agents of Free land are soliciting recruits 1n half a dozen capitals. The money necessary to begin the experiment has been con tribiited. The ship to carry the eml grants to the new Utopia is to be en gaged soon. Within! two months Dr Wilhelm will start from Vienna with the first twenty Freeland pioneers and from the Ba»t African coast will salt on Freeland's chartered steamer up the Tana River to Hertzka’s so-called Val¬ ley of Eden, where the new state will br founded under the protection of the British Government.
