Statement.

Associated Press Service:
BERLIN. Tuesday. Feb. 4.-The
surrendering of any portion of Ger
man territory to Poland would mean
not only that that portion would be
dragged down to the level Of a less
efficient. less orderly and less de-
veloped economic administration,
with its resultant great economic
damage to the inhabitants Of the
lands affected, but would also de-
stroy northern Germany"
This conviction was expressed to
the Associated Press by Prince

ambassador 10 Great Britain, in the

corning peace questions. Prince
Lichnowsky is a large estate owner

member of the German peace dele
cation. In his opinion it is mislead-
ing TO speak Of any Prussian border
districts as having an undOubted
Polish population In upper Silesia
there are districts. he admits. in
which the Poles have a numerical
preponderance. but the cities and
villa ges. he says. are preponderately
German. as are also nearly all the
industries and larger landhOldings.
He contends that the Poles here are
not real Poles. as they do not even
speak Polish. hut a dialect

Report Gained Circulation Through Bay.
field Newspaper Article
Published.

The first of the week the re-
port was circulated throu ghout
the city to the effect that the
store of M. P. Doyle in this city
had been sold to Char les Rum
mel of Bayfield,.
When asked concerning the
sale Mr.. M. E. Doyle was ap-
pareDtly quite surprised and
upon learning that the report
had been published in a Bayfield,
newspaper said that there was
nothing to it and that no such
deal had ever been considered. +
We give below the article pub
lished in the Bayfield, County
Press of last Friday, from which
the report originated:
A deal was consumated during
the week which will prove in
teresting to our readers, and by
which deal Charles Rummel, the
proprietor of the Red Front Store
in this city, became the owner
Of the large merchantile es-
tablishment of M. P. Doyle at
Washburn. Mr.. Rummel is now
the owner of two dry goods and
clothing establishments and ex-
poets to continue both, taking
the active management of.each
concern. Mr.. Rummel stated
that he has not yet formulated
plans as to the management OF
either store but that there may
be some likelihood of him making
the headquarters at Washburn.
Bayfield, friends Of the Rummel
family sincerely hope he will de-
eide to make this city his head
quarters and remainin residence
here. However, whichever place
he intends to make the future
home of the family, all will join
us in congratulating Mr.. Rum
mel upon his enterprise and
wishing him success in his COM
bined efforts.

With the closing Of the Paro-
cial school during the month Of

Parochial schools were sent to
their homes again.
After a number Of conferences
between the City School Board
and the trustees of the st. Louis
congregation, it was agreed that
the Catholics should turn over
the use Of their school building
without charge to the city and
the city was to furnish the
teachers, janitor service, water.

the text books and this arrange-
ment was entered into.
The school was again opened
on Monday morning with the
following teachers in charge:
