INTERN POLISH
REGIMENTS, FOR
ALLEGED TREASON

LONDON, April 20.-German mill
tary authorities have been having a
great deal of trouble of late by the un.
rest which has been evidenced In the
Polish armies in the ranks of the
German and Austro-Hungarian regi-
ments. All Polish soldiers suspected
have not been in.erned in Hungary, as
far away from the fighting front as
possible, their legions having been ar
rested by the Teutonic authorities, be-
cause of the Wholesale treason in the
ranks"
A turbulent people at all times,
the harsh treatment which has been
meted out to the civilian population
and the severity with which the Polish
soldiers have been dealt with has
caused considerable outbreaks from
time to time. The military authori-
ties have found that the troops from
Poland could not be trusted, and the
only thing to do with them is have
them informed where they can do nc
further propaganda work.
The failure of Germany to permit
the autonomy of Poland since it waf
first promised by the Kaiser is moi
helping matters with the civil popu
lation.

attorney GENERAL
TO SPEAK MONDAY
AT RED MEN HALL
Says Has No Doubt Election
Committee Will Decide in
Favor of SulZer

Attorney General George B. Grigsby
is to speak at Red Men Hall on Mon
day evening at $50 under the aus
p:css of the local Sulzer Club, it is
announced.
Mr.. Grigsby. when asked for his
views of several questions today by
the reporter, said that if he said any
thing for the paper no one would come
to hear him Monday night when he
proposes to let Ketchikaners know
Just where he stands-on certain
things. He was assured, however,
this would not happen.
Mr.. Grigsby left the north for Wash
ington in January, arriving at his des-
tination February End. While in
Washington he attended the Supreme
Court hearings on the cases of the
Territory of Alaska VS.. Alaska Pacific
fisheries and the Territory of Alaska
VS.. the Alaska Salmon Company.
Both are test cases to try the validity
CT the Territorial License Act. The
act was sustained by Judge Jennings,
of the U. S. District Court, First Div
.sion and the Circuit Court of Appeals
at San Francisco upheld his decision.
The cases were then taken to the Su-
preme Court, and decision is still
pending
While at the Capitol Mr.. Grigsby al.
so attended the hearing before the
Elections committee of the Sulzer-
Wickersham Delegateship contest, and
he declares, no doubt is entertained
but that the committee will decide in
favor OF Mr. Sulzer. The delay in the
decision of the contest has been
caused by the fact that Congress has
been busy with six other contests of
a similar nature in the house, ahead
of the Alaska contest Only one has
been decided thus far, Mr.. Grigsby
added. when l heard that Mr..
Wickersham had filed for the Repub-
lican primary / was much surprised.
as ! fully expected to see him turn
around as he has done before and be-
come a Democrat. "All the Republi-
can party has left Alaska Mr.. Grigs-
by explained Murane, former can
didate for Delegate and Republican
national committeeman, is now locat-
ed at Casper, Wyoming, practicing
law; Shackleford is established In
Los Angeles; Gilmore, delegate to the
Republican National convention, Is in
Seattle as is Scofield. my opponent in
the contest for Attorney General"
While l was In Seattle, recently, on
my way north" Mr.. Grigsby continued
Il heard rumors to the effect that Vic
kersham may not have a walk-away
In the Republican primaries. As you
know 1t Is an easy matter to write
In another mans name on the ballot
on the space beneath the name print
ed"
Mr. Grigsby will go north on the
Admiral Farragut Tuesday.
