VIA SIBERIA

To the Editor of the "NontH-Cuiwa Dany News Sir,—The letter from Mr.

Cross was certainly very interest" ing for travellers intending to use this route. If only this_ gentleman Had some Knowledge of his own country, he woud have omitted the dig in the ribs against the German border customs (of course anything of this sort is a special treat for the N.C.D.N.), He was, for me stance, disgusted at having had to pay duty on 49 cigars, while in the piping times of peace one had to ay in Queensborough or Harwich Jduty on 25 cigars. The English people are very fond of quoting the proverb "the mote in the eye" but like very quick to forget if, when it turns against them, Tam, ete, Jusr, ALTHOUGH NoT noRN IN ENGLAND.
