The t'lcrman t'olonial Association,

Mr. Knitie sitvs. will be coli-

in Berlin. The. iiivei'nmciit had re
cently subsidized two lines of steam
ships' to run betwi enlhe parent country
und the colonies, and a third lino has
just been established by private enter
prise between Hamburg and the Congo.
Mr. Baine describes another colonial
enterprise of a novel character, which
i now is in Hiipcessiul operation. Three
or four vears ago. he says, several hun
dred thousand tramps infested uer
mitnv and drew from the people many
millions annually bestowed in charity.
A clergyman lirst suggested the plan
of colonizing these people, and with
the aid of nu n of wealth secured trai ls
of waste or paitlv-cuttivated land in
Westphalia, where he organized a
"Workmen's: Colony "
Local committees were every whrrn
formed to counsel the withholding of
alms and the bestowal of an eipiivalent
sum to the new colonial enterprise.
The plan worked well, and tramps
were compelled to emigrate to the col
ony in large numbers. There they
were washed, provided with clothing
nnil furnished with employment a-s
farm laborers, (iradually in the pro
gress of colonization they found work
