EXTRASESSION OF
STATE LEGISLATURE
HINTED BY GOVERNOR
Burnquist Indicates S o l o n s
Must Act on Important
+ Measures or Face Return.

Unless the house and senate Of the
state legislature pass several of the
important legislation now pending
there is a possibility that an extra
session will be called by Governor
Burnquist. The reason assigned is
that while the legislature has been
extremely Industrious in passing To-
cal bills and curative acts, many of
state development and settlement
have not been acted upon,. and the
members say, that there will not be
time in which to pass them before
the close of the session.
The Nord bills providing ways and
means for the improvement and set
tlement of state lands and the or
ganization Of colonization companies
with which the state can cooperate
have passed the senate, but the house
has taken no action, upon them. The
senate committee on drainage has
substituted a patchwork of amend
ments for the comprehensive drain
age act that was expected, and these
amendments were not reported to the
senate until Saturday. The Warner
bill creating council of education is
on the senate calendar. -.
There are other important bflls in
the same uncertain position, frclud-
ing the Warner-Hompe convention
bill, which passed the house, but is
held up in the senate, while a joint
committee is trying to frame a meas
ure that will satisfy three contend
ing factions, one of which wants
state nominating convention, the ac-
tion of which will be final in respect
to party candidates, another wants
the convention as an adjunct to the
primary merely to recommend candi-
dates to the voters at the primary,
and a third faction wants the pri-
many retained as it is, and opposes
convention Of any kind. Mean
while members are beginning to say
there Is no time to pass this bill
either.
Should these bills be left unacted
upon, it is reported that Governor
Burnquist will seriously consider the
calling Of an extra session to pass
upon some Of them, particularly the
educational and agricultural bills.

WEAKNESS IN NEW MAP OF
EUROPE SEEN BY GERMANY

fidence by the support they expect
from the Entente, became aggres-
sive and began a march toward Ber-
lin. AS they began their invasion,
the Poles were in the right. The
province of Posen, outside OF the
city itself, is largely Polish, especial
ly the eastern portion. The peasants
are mostly Polish. and the better
classes are largely German. The ma
jority of the population undoubtedly
Is Polish, which would be the de-
Gliding factor.
But the Polish troops did not stop
with districts where the majority
was Polish. They continued, and be-
gan campaign to occupy all regions
in which any Poles could be found,
which included large part OF east
ern Prussia proper The Poles were
finally stopped by the armistice COM
mission. but their display Of vigor
and their desire for revenge from the
Germans who have ruled the region
for half century, has given the
German government a new source OF
permanent worry. II Poland keeps
the territory she now occupies, 1t will
almost double the length Of the east
ern Prussian frontier, which stretch
es them in two long arms, one along
the Baltic coast, and the other down
toward the east, which is bounded
on the other side by the Czecho-Slo-
vaks, who equal the Poles in their
feeling and aggressiveness against
the Germans.
II the Austrian Germans join the
republic, they will constitute another
! long and larger arm around Vienna,
extending out from Bavaria, which
the republic must defend. The
length of this boundary, II 1t Is es-
tablished along the borders of Bo.

kilometers. At the nearest point, the
