Huns Fear Polish invasion.

Berlin. Jan. 11.--Volunteers are join
ing the colors in great numbers at
koeniSsberg to protect the boundaries
of cast Prussia from bolshevist aggres-
sion and against the Poles. according
to reports received here.
Declaring that the eastern frontier
will soon be lost unless the Germans
awake to the danger. the Lokal An
Zeiger says:
The Poles have fallen upon our
fellow countrymen like vandals They
have proclaimed martial law and have
utterly abolished German administra-
tion. Indications are that Bromberg
soon will be in possession of the
Poles"
The newspaper declares that 500. 900
Germans in Posen are being prevented
by the Poles from arranging for cleo
! tions to the national assembly.
:. Invasion Threatened.
| Proclamations regarding the "ad-
vancing Polish army are being issued
| by the Poles, who also have regular
war reports. In the meantime the SOL
die-s and workmen council at Essen is
reported to have forbidden agitation
for the raising of troops for home de-
fense and the Brunswick government
has forbidden their transportation in
that section and is said to have dis
armed many Of them. At meeting at
Breslau it was reported that the Czechs
have an army OF 100000 men on the
border and threaten an invasion.
Polish troops numbering eighteen
divisions are said to be about to in
wade upper Silesia. Lemberg reports
state the people of the threatened dis
tricts have formulated an appeal to
President Wilson asking for protection
against the Czechs. The appeal points
out that their country has been over
whelmingly German since the thir-
teenth century and has been part of
Germany since l742. OF its 17O. 900 in
habitants. the appeal says. only 5000

Ex-Kaiser Aging Rapidly.
[By the Associated Press. ]

Ameronsen, Holland, Jan. 14.-Wil-
liam Hohenzollern's illness. which
manifests itself principally in the form
of chills. is being aggravated by his
constant worriment.
The former German emperor looks
to be perhaps fifteen years older than
when he crossed the frontier of Hol-
land. Altho he is only about to COM
plete his sixtieth year. his birthday
coming at the end of the present
month, his appearance suggests a man
of 10. He wears a short grayish beard
and dropping moustache. and his
hitherto firm flesh is now sagging.
The guards around the castle are
maintaining the stTctest vigil in con-
sequence of the revival Of rumors
which. however. do not seem to be we'll
founded that an attempt might be
made to kidnap the ex-emperor.
The ex-emperor, who had always
been accustomed to smoke a con-
siderable number Of cigarets daily,
now has become greater consumer
of tobacco than ever. As Soon as one
cigaret is finished he starts another.
Herr Hohenzollern's meals are Of the
simplest kind. Water is the only
beverage taken at table. but in the
forenoon the ex-ruler drinks 4 small
glass Of light red wine and in the eve
nings half glass before retiring.

Washington, Jan. lS.-Byy direction
of Secretary Baker. Governor Y.
Clarkson, director Of the council OF

state, county, community and NUM-
cipal councils OF defense to do every
thing possible to make successful the
nationwide arrangement for memor.
ial services for Theodore Roosevelt, to
be held Feb. 3, at the same time that
services are held by congress.
Because of the peculiarly non par
tisan character Of the great council OF
Defense" said the telegram, "it is sin
gularly fitting that the foregoing action
should be taken. The honoring Of
Theodore Roosevelt is a matter that
transccnds party belief and personal
prejudice. He lived greatly for Amer
ica, and that is enough to justify even
those who opposed him in mourning
his death"
