trickled down out of the frozen North
to Edmonton last February. The man
had been dead then nine months.
There was suspicion that he might

assigned to make an investigation. 1t

the heroic traditions of Canada's corps
of Scarlet Riders.
He set out from Prince Albert. A
branch line of one of the transconti-
mental railways took him beyond the
farms to the northern end of the steel
highway at Big River. He outfitted

REVIVAL OF TRADES UNION
WORLD BODY PROPOSED

BERN. Switzerland, February S.
The International trade union con-
ference last night adopted a motion
insisting on the prompt and definite

sumfhoning OF new international
trade union conference not later
than next May. The resolution was
adopted by majority of twenty
three votes, nearly ali the delegates

Before this question was taken up

Janson, raised the question of the
herman prisoners remaining in allied
lands and of the blockade of Ger

statement on the subject. as the news
had aroused bitter feeling in Ger

do the town populations present slight
Polish majorfties, the city of Posen
counting 81 per cent and Gnesen 81
per cent Poles.
Il might add that 1T is not to Polish
but German culture that the two prov
inces owe their wealth. even If the
world may pretend not to think much
of that"
To surrender Posen. said Prince
Lichnowsky. would mean bringing the
Polish state into the vicinity of Ber-
lin; the surrender of West Prussia
would isolate East Prussia completely
from Germany. and the extension of
Polish rule to Libau would cut off
Germany utterly from Russia.
From geographic. as we'll as eco
homic considerations he continued.
the natural and real solution of the
Polish question is for Poland to be-
come part of the greater Russian fed
eral republic. That would solve at
the same time the question of a Pol
ish seaport and Polish market.
THE surrender of Danzig to the
Poles. who have under q. per cent
of the citys population, would violate
every principle of justice. IL a pleb-
settle be insisted upon for German dis

cation. In his opinion II Is misleading
to speak of any PrusSian border dis
tricts as having an '.undoubted Polish
population" In Upper Silesia there
are districts, he admits. in which the
Poles have numerical preponder-
ance, but the cities and villages, he
says, are preponderately German, as
are also nearly all the industries and
larger landhoIdings. He contends that
the Poles here are not real Poles, as
they do not even speak Polish, but a
dialect.
The material condition even of the
Poles themselves. according to Prince
Lichnowsky. would become much
worse if they came under what he
termed Polish anarchy and they
were cut off from Germany. Indus
tries and coal mines would be ruined
if they lost the German market.
Transportation to German consumers
would be impossible without railway
rebates such as have long been
granted.
OF Posen and West Prussia. Prince
Lichnowsky said:
These provinces were. at the CEN
sus of 1910. inhabited by 1,946.663 Ger
mans and 1.SS1,9 Poles. 1t is well
nigh impossible to trace clear line
of demarcatiop between. the German
and Polish districts. OF the seventy
two counties making up the two prov
inces, not a single one boasts pure
ly Polish population.
''Of the four governmental districts.
Danzig Marienwerder, Bromberg and
PoSen, the first three have preponder-
ance of Germans, and even in the dis
trict of Posen the German population
reaches percentage equal to the pop
uIatiOn of eastern Galicia. which is
claimed by the Poles.
