FORCED HIM TORETIRE
Question Is Raised As To Why a
German Official Had to
Stand Down.
WAS 1T BECAUSE OF HIS MARRIAGE
Or Because He Had Views of His
Own On the True Polish
Policy?

Berlin, July 30.-The marriage by
Privy Councillor Loehning of the
daughter of u former sergeant in the
Germany army has caused Herr Loeh-
ning's compulsory retirement from the
chief directorShip of taxes for the pro-
vince of POsen. Herr Loehning, who
was also finance councillor, ana who
was Il man of wealth, has been circu-
lating Il pamphlet among his friends
explaining his acceptance of pension
July 1 ut the instance of Herr Won
Rheinbaban, the Prussian minister of
finance. The publication of this pam
phlet i'll yesterdays papers has caused
considerable comment, both socially
and politically, because Herr Loehning,
as 4 high official having first hand
knowledge of the Prussian adminstra-
ton of Posen, disapproves of several
features of the ministry'S POlishpolicy.
ober President Lays Down the Law.
In this pamphlet Herr Loehning re
lateS that after an interchange of COM
munications between Berlin and the
highest administrative officials OF the
province of PoSen the ober president
of Posen told him he had nothing to
say against his financee, but that it
was impossible for him To consent to
the marriage of one of the highest Of
tficials of the province of Il daughter
of an eX-Sergeant: that it was as
though the colonel of Il regiment pro-
doSed TO do such thing. y ministerial
councillor or Il superior government
councillor might possibly marry ser
geants daughter, but Il privy and
finance councillor could not.
Was There Politics In the Case?
The ober president said also that the
commanding general and police pres
i1ent shared his views on the matter.
The father of Herr Loehning'is wife is
now a secretary in one of the govern
ment offices at PoSen. Some weeks
after his marriage the finance ministry
at Berlin asked Herr LOehning to re-
tire. which he did. Herr Loehning af-
firms that his opinions in the matter of
the ministry's polish policy had moth
ing to do with his retirement from Of
flee, but Notwithstanding this it is be-
HeVed the opinions probably did have
something TO do with the councillors
retirement.
LOehnings Idea of Polish Policy.
Herr, Loehning attirms also. in hs
pamphlet that most of the high PruS-
sian officials of the province of POsen
condemn the governments general pol
icy toward the Poles. the prosecution
of Polish newspapers and the SurYeil-
lance of Polish societies. Herr Loeb
ming, although favOring measures to
GermaniZe Poland, is of the opinion
that this should be carried out less OS-
tentatiOuSly. The pamphlet is the sub
ject of noticeable editorial articles in
the liberal newspapers. which predict
attacks upon the government in the
diet. The NoSSische Zeitung says it is
impossible to write about the matter
coolly and that it reads like the times
proceeding the battle of Jena, when
Prussian aristocracy reached the acme
of class inEolence.

COUNTY NEWS,
FeiIsburg's Band.
By Correspondents.

FeiIsburg's Band
Now people if you'll listen,
Well write you disty
About that little Fellsburg band,
That plays about the city.
Ills complicated gathering
OF dudes and country boys,
But if you think we are but fools,
just listen to our noise.
There's Billie with his cornet,
And Willard with his drum,
And Willie with his clarinet,
And George with his drum.
There's lots of noise with these four
For George gives his drum thunder;
But were they left to wend their ways,
| fear they'd go asunder.
Oh, next we come to Johnny King,
His bald head and his cornet,
If they should go kaflunk, well now,
We'd miss them, you can bet.
And next we come to our friend Len,
With his welcome nod and smile,
He blows with such tremendous force
Yon can hear him for mile.
The tuba horn by Abraham
Is carried forth in state,
He puts his face in till it fits,
Then shows us warm gait.
And next we spy the baritone,
And also b-f1at bass,
For Tude and Ira blow and blow
Till they get red in the face.
There's Tommy with his clarinet,
All polished like bead.
He keeps his mustache very short,
So it wont obstruct the reed.
There's A rthur, too, of sand-hill cline,
With the Helican bass does best,
His tones are full and rich and deep,
AS mutterings in the west.
And Harry with his alto-b,
And Frank, his sober sec Ond,
With James McCarter for q third,
Are trio worth our mention.
A b-cornet in the hands Of Dave,
Whose suffix name is Brown,
Plays the solo music equal to
The second best in town.
Jimmie Shannon shares our pride,
Though just a little fellow,
He plays his music in a tone
That is quite strong, yet mellow.
Tenor horns belch forth their notes,
BY Austin, Jess and Mort,
They are musicians now you see,
OF just the proper sort.
There's Sol Brown and his cornet too
You cannot fail to hear,
He comes and goes with bOils aglow
But ever full of cheer.
Of comets left we have but four,
There's Ira, and John Butler, too,
With Herbert and j Ohm Fisher. try,
To give the band it's due.
Our piccalo gives us Irish tones.
For Nice atlin is in line,
| He makes the walls reverberate
Like echoes on the Rhine.
The players all now have their due,
! Our president calls again,
| He is alert and Overhows
With business and bandmen's pen
Our secretary does his part,
In a way that is most winning,
He calls the roll, and absentees
AT once confess their SHINING.
Our leader is valiant lad,
Of our choice we've no regret,
And for the lessons he has taught,
We owe him deep respect.
The first practice in each month
We announce AS visitors night,
An appreciative audience
Is our aim and sole delight.
So come again our friendly ones.
In answer to our letter.
Though in past. mistakes we've made,
In the future we III do better.
