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 at the request u refrain from provo 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 has been forced to take military measures to restore law and or der.
 The note asserts that while the German government has refrained from action against Polish nationals Is who planned and committed trea- son and revolt" it cannot suffer amt bilious imperialism to reign su- preme."
 Events i'll upper Silesia, the Ger man note contends, have nothing in common with national questions and regarding East Prussia there can be no talk of a national Polish move ment 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 uniustifiable Polish attempts to bring the Polish question to a head before the Peace Conference"

The senator. addressing the Ameri- can national live stock association convention, described a bill which he introduced to regulate the meat in- dustry, and said it ought to be possi- ble to bring about a free market that would make it possible for both pro ducer and packer and consumer to work proftably together.
 ''It is perfectly obvious" he told the convention, that the packers ab- soluteIy dominate the meat industry of the country"
 With all interests involved, and under the circumstances which sur round the business it would be ditf1- cult for them to do otherwise than to work in unison and it is scarcely necessary, it seems to me, 10 attempt to prove that the packers agents meet daily. or weekly, or monthly to determine prices. IL is only necessary to point out that their common in terest would naturally tend to make them act i'll common manner"
 There is no class of the pOpula- tion that is not vitaIly interested in proper governmental control of the meat packing industry because il has grown to such proportions that il may now be termed the nations food industry. It is of tremendous na-

Berlin. Monday, Jan. 20-tBy the Associated Press)-The autopsy on the body of Dr. Karl Ltebknecht, the Spartacan leader who was killed last week while trying to escape from the soldiers who had arrested him in suppressing the Spartacan revolt, showed that he was shot from be- hind and that the bullets were fired from some distance. The au3o- F. was conducted by Prof. Augustus C. G. Bier and Prof. Paul F. Strassman, together with a third surgeon. Will liam Ldebknecht, Dr. Liebknecht's brother, and Hugo Haase, the fGde- pendent Socialist leader, were present
 The official report of the surgeons showed that the fatal bullet entered the back of the head and came out through the forehead. 4 second bull let entered the hack and traversed the Iu~gs. The third also struck in the back but produced only a slight wound.

tional importance. therefore. that Congress should establish some sort of control.
 ''The bill which I have introduced is intended to secure this end with the least possible disturbance to any interest. It aims merely to apply to this industry the principles which have been applied to every other bus mess engaged in interstate commerce. We do not ask that the government take over the packing houses. nor even that it should operate the stock yards. We ask only that the packers shall no longer be permitted to own and control both the producin@ and the distributing markets To tl end my bill makes provision that will compel the packers to dispose of their ownership of the stock yards just as a few years ago congress com pelled the railroads 10 surrender the ownership of coal mines It further provides that refrigerator cars shall be subject to the Interstate Commerce Act in the same manner that all other cars and telephone facilities are sub ject to it.
 Finally the bill provides f1r a H. censing system for me;t@ packers, for commission men and for stock yard owners so that the government may keep it's fingers on the pulse of the industry"

The ratification of the prohibit ton amendment has been greeted with intense saisfact on by Suf- fragists generally. The satisfaction is not all due to the fact that most Suffra gists are personally in favor Of prohibition. though this has long been undoubtedly true It is due largely to the clearing of the situ- alton as regard Woman Suffrage which must take place now tlat prohibition has become the settled national policy of the United States Again and again in State campaigns the greatest foes that the Suffragists have had to encounter have been the liquor interests. Every saloon was a cente- Of opposition to the Suf- fra gists when q Sat. caErG'S for the ratification of d constitutional amendment was on foo,.

 In New Jersey in 1915 there was a tremendous onslaU2ht on Woman Suffrage by certain m&c,...g roli- ticians headed b. Him Mi .at and supported almost entirely by the saloon interests. New Jersey it may be noted. is the one state which the prohibi,ionis:s dc not expect to ratiev the prohibition amendment IL is 1.ouGht prob able that the amendments will Ue ratified by all the other i States even including New York and Con- necticut, but New Jersey will re- main out of the fold and will hare to submit to prohibition perforce because one wet spot cannot be en- dured in a country whose whole policy is dry.

 In Ohio in 1912 and again in 1914 the defeat of the Suffrage con stitutional amendment was attri- buted almost entirely 10 the activity of the liquor interests.

Supreme Council Has Decided
 To Send Mission Into Poland
Announcement Made in Of ficial Statement of the

 Short TiEae.

Paris, Jan. 22.---The Supreme Coun- cil Of the Peace conference this morn ing considered the Polish question and decided to send a mission to Poland. This announcement was made in the official statement of the proceedings of the conference.
 A proposal from President Wilson regarding the Russian question will be discussed this afternoon, the state ment added.
 When the Supreme Council met this morning there were present, in addi- tlon to all the members of the coun- cil, Marshal Foch, the Allied com manler-in-c chief, General Weygand. his chief of staff, and Rear Admiral Hope, deputy first sea. lord of the British Admiralty Board. It was as- sumeG from the presence of these military and naval officers that the Russian situation on the Baltic and on the land front was discussed.
 The Council continued the formula ton of it's concrete proposal on the Russian situation.
 W. F. Massey, the premier of New  cil for a short time.
 Paris, Jan. 22-With the hope of formulating a definite line of action on the Russian question, the Supreme Council of the Peace Congress cor tinued today to devote most of its attention to the subject. Principles of action have been decided upon, 1T the main, and virtually all that Te- mains is to reduce the agreement tC writing and get final assent to it b5 the delegates.
 While the peace congress is getting into action, the question of Pres1den Wilson naming a fifth delegate to ac on the American mission when he de parts for home has again arisen, ant the names of William H. Taft and Elihu Root have been mentioned. MT Wilson's decision as to the appoint. ment of another delegate depends wholly upon whether he will consider 1t necessary to return to Europe after the adjournment of the American congress In March. He feels he mus return to America in time to sigr bills that have been passed at Wash. ington.
 He has expressed the hope that il would not be necessary for him tc make another voyage across the At. lantic, but has told his colleagues tha- he would not hesitate to return if hi! presence is necessary to the success: of his rian for League of Nations If another American delegate should be banned, Secretary of War Baker or possibly Admiral W. s.

GOOD THING FOR SUFFRAGE
 PR0HIBITI0N QUESTION OVER

against Woman Suffrage; sometimes reprinting long articles by woman anti-suffragis which were not in tended for the pages Of a liquor trade organ, but which were used as convenient matter to serve the trade in it's fight against Woman Suffrage. In these papers all the old fiattery of woman as an angel too pure for politics, found it's place and the stuff about the sacredness of the home and the home as the place of the woman was repeated ad nauseam. One would think that q saloon paper would be the last 10 have anything to say about the home. when it's particular trade was the one trade which resulted in the breaking up of homes and in the reduction to poverty and misery of so many of these angel women who were to be safely caged in the home. The only care of the writers and editors of these papers was to keep women powerless 10 touch their trade, powerless |, defend their homes and safely immured where they could do no harm to the saloon or the liquor interests.
 Interest Kept Secret.
 In ore recent years the liquor interests have not been so ready to show their hand in opposing wo- man Suffrage. They learned that their opposition was something of a
 boomerang which recoiled on their own heads. But they did not there fore cease to oppose Woman Suf- frage. They only preferred to do ii more quietly and to hide them selves more carefully behind the skirts of the innocent and ignorant women who formed themselves into arti-sutfrage organizations - thus affording G. beautiful and respect able screen for the more sinister forces which were the real enemies of Woman Suffrage.
 It is in every way 3 good thing for Woman Suffrage that the qucs- ton of prohibition has been set ted and that the liquor interests have nothing 10 fear from the votes of the women. because they are s.- ready faced with almost immediate extinction. The question Of Woman Suffrage can now be considered OF its own merits without this con tinual complication of the question of prohibition. and it's enemies now consist only of the very few Bour- l bon Tories who can learn nothing ! and who are incapable of progress. It is something of a disappoint- ! rnent. of course, that the prohibi- l ton amendment has got the prece-
 dent
