Lichnowsky Opposes
Surrender Of German
Territory.to Poland

Berlin, Feb. 9.-"The surrender
ing Of any portion of German terri
tory TO Poland would mean not only
that that portion would be dragged
down to the level of a less eff
cient, less orderly and less devel-
oped economic administration with
its resultant great economic dam
age to the inhabitants Of the lands
affected, but would also destroy
northern Germany" said Prince
Lichnowslly, former German am
bassador to Great Britain, in long
conversation concerning peace ques-
tions.
Prince Lichnowsky, it is under
stood, is to be a member of the
German peace delegation.
In upper Silesia there are districts,
he admits, in which the Poles have
a numerical preponderanee, but the
cities and villages, he says. are pre-
ponderantly German, as are also
nearly all the industries and larger
landholdings.

Lichnowsky saids were, at the census

Attempt to Keep Men
From Work in Butte
t.l Copper Mines.

Butte, Mont, Feb. 9-Mai. A. M.
Jones of the Forty-fourth infantry,
arrived here today from Fort George
Wright, Spokane, to assume charge
of all troops in district who are on
guard due to a resolution of the
strike of copper miners affiliated
with the Industrial Workers of the
World. The strike was called last
Friday as protest against re-
duction in wages.
Three meetings of miners were
held during the day. Closely fol-
lowing the adjournment Of meet
ing of the Butte Metal Mine Work
ers union independently a body of
approximately 90 OF the participants
marched to the Leonard mine in
what was said to be, an effort to
persuade engineerSand firemen from
going to work. Posses of sheriff's
deputies dispersed them.
Picket Companies Organized.
Another meeting was held by
members of the Industrial Work
ers of the World mine union. At
this meeting, from which everyone
without an /. w. wv. membership
card was excluded, picket companies
were organized, it was understood.
Pickets from both union organi-
cations, it was stated tonight, would
attempt to keep miners from going
to work tomorrow morning.
The Butte Army and Navy as
sociation. after much speaking, en-
dorsed the strike of the miners be-
cause of the dollar a day reduction
in wages.

ing of soldiers and sailors, advising
them not to act hastily. He told
them they never would get their
rights by going against law and
order.
Il came here with sufficient
troops to maintain men and order"

it. After fighting Germany you are
certainly not going to aid bolshevism,
which was born in Germany and
which Germany is paying to
spread"
Officials of the Butte Metal Mine
Workers union, independently, said
today that the entire force Of miners
in the Butte district had walked out.
Until the time has expired for all
shifts to have reported tomorrow
morning, just what percentage Of
men are out will not be known, it
was stated by company officials.

Metal Mine Workers union, (inde-
pendent1 said today that his organ
ization had formulated demands for

parture would not have been def
nitely determined il an Omaha depu-
" sheriff had not accidentally en-
countered a man in the street car
gon1ing across the bridge from
Council Bluffs who saw the hand
euffed men tumble from the train,
and who gave the officer some
definite information. Mcdonald is
still combing the woods between
Langdou and ST. Joseph according
10 his statement over ting long dis
sanee telephone.

have forced an entrance to a jewelry
store here several weeks ago and

At several hundred dollars. They
were apprehended when recognized
BY the St. Joseph police from the
description furnished by the Omaha
department..
