further decrease in the proportion OF

Negroes numbered ii.6 per cent. and In
1910 t0T per cent
II is expected that the percentage OF

The body of a woman, face down. ward in a pool of blood, was discov. cred by Mrs. A. Hardy, of 176 Park street, at o'clock. last night, in the neighborhood of her home.

CLAIM POLES PROVOKED
 GERMANS
Germany Replies to British Note - Says Posen in
 State of Upheaval.
GERMANS HAVE
 ASKED FOR HELP
Future of German Eastern Frontiers Depends on
 Peace Conference.

Amsterdam, Jan. 22-In a reply to a British note requesting the Ger. man government to refrain from fur ther provocation of the Polish pop ulation in East and West Prussia. Posen and Silesia, the German gov ernment, according to a despatch from Berlin, expresses agreement with Great Britain that the future of the German eastern frontiers de- bends upon the Peace Conference The German note expresses surprise cation and says the request "can only be attributed to the fact that the British government Is inadequately informed of events in the east"
 The German note declares that Germany has done everything to re- dress Polish grievances and accuses the Poles of continually provoking the Germans. It says Posen is in a state of upheaval and that the Ger man population has appealed for help to the German government which
  measures to restore law and or- der.
 The note asserts that while the German government has refrained from action against Polish nationals who @planned and committed trea- son and revolt" it cannot suffer ambitious imperialism to reign su- preme."
 Events in upper Silesia, the Ger man note contends, have nothing in common with national questions and regarding East Prussia there can be no talk of national Polish move- 9ment there. The note conludes:
 "All measures of the German gov ernment since the conclusion of the armistice have only served to carry out the prescriptions of the treaty toward unjustifiab1e Polish attempts to bring the Polish question to a head before the Peace Conference"

WILL THIS HAPPEN WILL THEY REBEL?
Strange Tale That Republi- men Aldermen Have a
 Mind to Rebuke Mayor.

If Mayor Clifford B. Wilson can in duce the Board of Aldermen to ap- prove of his plan for a merger of several city departments, John A. Leonard. president of the Board of Fire Commissioners will become Commissioner of Public Safety, and in direct charge of the fire and police departments of the city.
 When the mayor this year reap pointed John N. Stanley president of the Board of Police Commissioners, he did so with the full knowledge that MT. Stanley was a sore spot in the minds of the majority of Republi- can leaders. Desiring to show that he cared not for criticism, the mayor reappointed Mir. Stanley.
 There is solid foundation for the g;-mor going the rounds of Mir. Leon ards appointment as Commissioner Of Public Safety. Mayor Wilson will then have eliminated the sore spot Mir Stanley-but he will have done it in such manner as to show every one that his power Of appointment and dismissal is supreme.
 But-there is one thing that Mayor Wilson is likely to find as big as the Rock of Gibraltar in his way. Will the Beard of Aldermen approve of his plan 10 merge various city de- partments? It is said by these who ought to know. that the mayors communication stands a fair chance of going into the waste basket al the special meeting of the aldermen to be held next Monday night.

She demands to be con- fronted publicly with England at the congress of nations, that the civilized world, having judged between Eng. fish wrong and Irish right, may guarantee Ireland its permanent sup
 port for the maintenance of national independence.
