TO
MEET LANSING
Recognition Of Poland by
United States Is
Expected.

That the United States will soon
recognize the Polish people, in much
the same manner as recognition was
accorded the Czecho- slovaks. is tho
belief here In diplomatic circles.
Secretary OF State Lansing today
will receive Roman Dmowsky, presi-
dent of the Polish NationsI Commit
tee. who recently arrived In this
country from Paris. It is, understood
that he will present to Mr.. Lansing
claims for the recognition Of the
Poles who. like the Czechs, have an
army in France. fighting by the side
OF the allies; another force in Rus
sia, cooperating with the allied ex.
pedition on the Murmansk coast, and
governing body in the form of a
national committee.
Polish State Pledged.
Recognition, II is said would con-
form to the policy of this govern
ment regarding the dismemberment
OF the Austro- Hungarian empire, and
would also provide for another buffer
state between Germany. Austria, and
Russia Furthermore It would make
good the utterances of the allied
premiers and President Wilson, all of
whom have promised an independent
Polish state. President Wilson's s
words concerning the future of Pc-
land were spoken last January. lie
said. in part: T
IAN Independent Polish state should
be erected which should include the
territories inhabited by indisputably
Polish populations, which should be
assured a free and secure access to
| the sea, and whose political and eco
nomic independence and territorial
integrity should be guaranteed by in
| ternational covenant"
1t was only several days ago that
! Premier Clemenceau, in a letter to
! Count Zamoyski of the Polish Ma
| tional Committee, reafirmed the in
! tention of the allies to see that Po-
/ lands national aspirations are real
lied and her historic boundaries re-
! stored.
Germany's New Policy.
Meantime Germany Is striving to
counteract with all means in her
power the friendly manifestations Of
the allies, according to dispatches to-
day to Polish headquarters here.
Since the German reverses on the
West front. it is revealed, she has
entirely changed her policy regard
ing Poland and is attempting to ac-
complish by kindness what formerly
was accomplished by brutality. In
direct contravention to President Will
sons statement that restored Poland
should have access to the sea, it has
been suggested in Germany that ar
rangements be made for leasing a
part of the port of Danzig to the
poles so that in the future they will
be weaned from their ambition to
annex this port and other Prussian
| territory"

Another Pioneer Woman Gone

Last Saturday afternoon Mrs. Ben
jamin F.. Whitney, one of Princeton's
Oldest residents, after lingering ILL
ness, departed this life.
The funeral was held Tuesday after
noon from the residence of her son,
Mr. Elmer E. Whitney, and was large
" attended. Rev. James A. Geer Of
ficiated. The remains were laid at
rest in Oak Knoll cemetery alongside
those Of her husband who had pre-
coded her.
Mrs. Whitney, whose maiden name
was Miss Elinor Kuder, was born
September 2, 1885, in Kuderville, N.
Y. She was married to Benjamin f.
Whitney in 1856, and came to Prince
ton with her husband the following
year, and she has resided here con-
stantly ever since, hence she was the
Oldest white settler Of Mile Laos
county at the time of her death.

1867. In her infancy she attended the
local schools and later graduated from
the Princeton high school, She also
took course in the State university.
She was great student, constantly
aiming to increase her store of knowl-
edge and keep abreast of the times
From her teens up until about a year
ago she made teaching her avocation.
She taught in many of the best schools
in Isanti, Sherburne and Mile Laos
counties, and for eighteen terms in the
Princeton high school. She had won
derful success as a teacher, and hun
dreds of young men and women in
Princeton and vicinity have reason to
gratefully cherish her memory. For
some months past she had been en-
ployed as chief clerk Of the war board
of Mile Laos county, and, as usual
with her, put her whole soul into the
work and demonstrated her efficiency
in such a manner as to win the APP
proval of all who were brought in con-
tact with her. For many years, in
fact all her life, Miss King has been
active in church work, and she was
rightly regarded as one of the pillars
of the Princeton NJ. E. church. AL
though sometimes brusque in manner,
at heart Miss King was true gold, and
would go to any length to relieve suf-
fering and distress and serve her
friends. She was, indeed, an opti-
mistic, self-reliant, self-sacrifcing
woman, one who will be sadly missed
in this community.

Mr.. Right; "You've said it this is
war! To win the war it might be neces-
sary for the government to take your
factory away from you, and ruin your
business. 1t might be necessary to take
your house and turn you out in the street.
What of that? Is that as great sacrifice
as your neighbor makes, or stands ready
to make, when he gives his boy to his
country? Yet you don't think it's your
duty to pinch and save, and borrow If
need be, in order to buy Liberty Bonds,
and thus help shorten the war, make VIC
tory certain, and save the lives of thou
sands of American boys who will other
wise be uselessly sacrificed.
Mr.. Doubtful: Il guess that's true,
Mr.. Right, have been thoughtless. I'll
stop complaining and criticising, and put
up my last dollar if need be, to help
win this war;

Attention, Motor Vehicle Drivers

The attention of the drivers of mo-
tor vehicles is called to the provisions
of the state law regulating the speed
of such vehicles upon the highways of
the villages and cities, and especially
to the speed at corners and curves in
such highways and intersection of
streets. The following provisions are
among those contained in the state law:
If the rate Of speed of any motor
vehicle operated on any public high
way in this state where same shall
pass through the closely built-up por-
tions Of an incorporated city, town
or village, or, where the traffic is more
or less congested, exceeds ten miles
an hour for a distance of one-tenth of
a mile, or, if the rate Of speed Of any
motor vehicle operated on any public
highway in this state, where the same
passes through the resident portions
of any city, town or village, exceeds
fifteen miles an hour for distance of
one-tenth of mile, such rates of
speed shall be prima facie evidence
that the person operating such vehicle
is running at rate of speed greater
than is reasonable and proper, having
regard to the traffic and the use Of
way.
IF the rate of speed of motor We
hicle operated on any public highway
in this state in going around corner,
or curve in a highway, where the OPP
orators view of the road traffic is OBJ
structed, exceeds six miles per hour,
such rate Of speed shall be prima
facie evidence that the person operat-
ing such motor vehicle is running at
a rate of speed greater than is reason
able and proper.
It is the intention to call your at
tention to the above provisions that
each driver Of a motor vehicle will use
due diligence in observing the laws
in operating their vehicle, so that the
possibility of accidents will be greatly
diminished, and to especially call your
attention to the rate Of speed at cor
ners where different streets intersect,
as at these particular places accidents
are more liable to occur.
Headlights and taillights must be
kept continuously burning from sun
set to sunrise when machines are in
operation. In addition taillights must
be kept burning when cars are parked
on the streets.
If, after calling the attention of the
drivers to the above, it is found that
they do not observe the laws as made,
it is the duty of the authorities to see
that they are observed and the laws
will be strictly enforced.
I, therefore, ask your cooperation
in this matter, so that the unpleasant
ness of enforcing these provisions may
be avoided. T.. E. FOX,
16-1c Village Marshal.

volunteers who entrained that morn
ing good bye. She was walking on
the south side of the street and, when
near Stanke's gasoline station, in the
center of the block, started to cross to
the opposite side. A heavy snowstorm
was in PROCESS at the time. AS Miss
King left the sidewalk an Elgin Six,
driven by Lynn Ellenbaum and pro-
ceeding east, struck her with such
force that she was hurled to the top
of the hood and held there for few
moments of time, when she rolled off

tanned five passengers. She was
dragged along underneath the car for
several feet, while the occupants Of
the machine screamed, before being
released. After Miss King became
clear of the automobile it proceeded a
distance estimated at from 40 to so
feet before stopping, and the speed at
which the machine was running was
estimated at from 10 to rs miles an
hour. ..
Miss King was carried into the
home of Mr.. Stanke and DR.. Cooney

Northwestern hospital, where it was
found that she had sustained double
fracture Of one leg, a dislocation of
the other, and that serious internal
injuries had also resulted She

The Great Duty.

AS we go about our daily tasks In
peace and safety men are dying every
minute on the battle field of Europe
to save civilization. Our own gallant
soldiers are shedding their blood in
France and our allies engulfed in the
waters of the Atlantic as they go in
defense of Americas rights and
honor.
Upon our performance of the work
committed to us depend the lives OF
thousands of men and women, the
fate of many nations, the preserva-
ton of civilization and humanity it
self; and the more efficient and
prompt we people of America are in
doing our part, the more quickly will
this war come to an end and the
greater the number of our soldiers
and sailors who will be saved from
death and suffering and the greater
number of the people of other ma
tions released from bondage and
saved from death.
To work, to save, to economize, to
give financial support to the Govern
ment is duty of the Nation and to
the world and it is especially duty
to our fighting men who on land and
sea are offering their lives for their
country and their countrymen.

EVERY CITIZEN MAY HELP TO
CATCH DISLOYALISTS.

Every citizen may act as a volun-
teer detective to assist government
officers in ferreting out persons sus-
pected of disloyal actions or utter
ances, says a statement issued by At
torney General Gregory, at Washing
ton.
United States attorneys have been
told to cooperate with newspapers in
their districts so that public notice
can be given to the nearest Offices of
attorneys of the bureau of investiga-
ton to which citizens may refer in
formation that they think will be
valuable in running down seditious
persons.
1.-THE district attorneys are in
structed to make clear" says the
Attorney Generals statement, that
complaints of even the most informal
or confidential nature are always
welcome and that citizens should feel
free to bring their information or sus-
picions to the attention of the near
est representative of the Department
of Justice, or if that is not conven-
lent, communicate with the Depart
ment at Washington"

FIRST LETTER TO LOUISVILLE
BY AIRPLANE MAIL.

The Louisville Post publishes
fac smile engraving of the envelope
in which Mr.. and Mrs. Percy C.
Henry. formerly of Paris, received
letter in Louisville, delivered by
airplane mail service. The Post pub
fishes the following interesting &C
count. which will interest the Paris
friends and. relatives of Mr.. and Mrs.
Henry:
1.-THE envelope to carry the first and
I'D to this time the only letter re-
ceived in Louisville by way OF the
airplane mail service, inaugurated
on Nav Is, is reproduced in the
above engraving. The production is
complete with the exception of the
stamp. which can not be engraved
under the laws of the United States.
A letter sent by airplane costs "a
cents and a special stamp is provided
for it. The stamp is oblong, smaller
than a special delivery stamp and
bears the picture of a combat plane.
Percy c. Henry, Jr., to whom the
letter was sent, isn't IN LOUISVILLE,
but his father, Percy Henry, ST.,
president of the Louisville Meat Mar
ket, is preserving the letter carefully,
as it marks an epoch in American
transportation-th first a1rplane
mail delivery. The letter was mailed
in New York and went from there
to Washington by way of Philadel-
phia in the airplane. At Washing
ton the fiier ended his trip and the
mail was transferred to rail, cOmplet-
ing it's journey to Louisville. The
circular postmark shows that this is
a 'first-trip' letter.
Percy Henry, Jr., is one of the
members of the Aerial League and
has Just succeeded in winning his
commission as first lieutenant in the
American Flying Corps, although he
is only twenty years old. He enlist
ed in the aviation section last fall
and after spending a short time in
preliminary tests at Berkeley, Cal,
was sent to San Diego, Cal, for
training. He showed a natural tai
ent for the flying game and although
he has been too modest to write home
his achievements, letters from his
friends in camp there to their fam
lilies in Louisville have disclosed that
young Henry is a wonder at stunt
flying and has broken the cross
country record for the San Diego
camp, flying 800 miles in one flight.
He is an expert at the nose dives,
tail spins and other antics of the air.
Two weeks ago Henry was awarded
his commission and has been trans
ferred to Dallas for advanced train
ing.
ITO celebrate the Inauguration Of
the aerial mail service, the Aerial
League sent letters to all of it's men,
bers via the aeroplane mail, and it's
letter to Henry is the first to reach
Louisville. 1t has been in Mr.. Hen
rvs possession for several days, and
he says that it will remain there for
many years."

There seems to be a good deal Of

there has been no sort of indication
that men of forty or above that age
believe that the draft age should be
such that they could not be included
in the draft.
1t is, of course, true that men or
forty are more likely to be so sit
uated that their leaving America
would be at a considerable financial
loss, and a majority of them posi-
bly, have heavy domestic obliga-
tions, but if any army of 100000
is needed and if men of forty are
needed the men of that age will be
found to be first rate material.
