OCCUPY STATION.

Berlin, Sunday. June 5.-Polish troops
have occupied the railway station at
Chroschnik, four miles from Bentschen,
and have sent an ultimatum to the Ger
mar commander in the latter place,
demanding hat he surrender. The de-
mand a been refused, according to
the Tagblatt.
(Bentschen is near the boundary be-
tween the provinces of Posen and
Brandenburg, and is about 40 miles
southwest of Fosen.)
Capture Of Bentschen by the Poles
would be most serious for Berlin and
all of northern Germany. Its loss would
cut communication between Berlin and
Silesia and would render the provision
ing of northern Germany difficult. The
cabinet completed It's consideration Of
the Polish situation today and directed
the ministry of var to take the neces-
sary technical steps to strengthen the
eastern frontiers. When preparations
have been completed. the cabinet will
probably appeal to the people to form
a volunteer army to protect the Ger
man borders.

no violence as compared with the Rus

freely by agitators among the workmen
and soldiers.

Germany.
Third, unemployment and lack Of
food continues.

movement, are to be found in Berlin,

THE ALTERNATIVE r.

Germany took a chunk of territory away from China and had it when the war began. Japan took it away from Germany and had 1t when the war ended.

But be cause they cannot have their way lets rip up the efforts to maintain peace among 10 na- tionS ets throw the league of nations m the ditch and go back to the old order ot things Let's build armament and go to Conscription. Let's set neighbor against neighbor and get ready for another general slaughter of mankind.-Ford's International Weekly.

JOHN MITCHELL

The death of John Mitchell, for years president of the United Mine Workers, and ice-president of the American Federation of Labor, takes away one of union labor's most widely known and progressive advocates. AL ways strongly union, he was at no time one of the ultra radical class, and his work has been recognized by both state and federal governments.
 He was what is termed self-made man. He obtained his education as boy by night study, afterward reading law for one year and devoted some study to economies. He rose from the ranks of raw labor, as coal miner, to the head of the United States Mine Workers of America in little more than ten years. Under his leadership that organ ization became power in the labor world.
 From his first connection with organized labor he exerted all of his influence in behalf of good faith on the part of labor unions in all dealings with employers. His attitude re suited in better understanding between un- ion labor and employers of labor
 Mitchell's fairness of mind was recog- nized by Governor Glynn, of New York, when in 1914 he appointed the former as member of the State Workmen's Compensation Board

 Blanchfield street, heretofore lacking an official title, has become known as "Easy Street" It has been asserted by few people that no matter what name might be selected by the council, the people of Fairbanks would always speak of it by the latter name.
 The Citizen does not believe that the peo pie of Fairbanks will do any such thing. The official name isn't hard to remember.

The "previsionary peep at the year 2OOO'

The "previsionary peep at the year 2OOO'' which The New York Times reprints from an old copy of 1883, saw aerial navigation in everyday operation; but the writer's i'm agination pictured an imitation of birds that the real aircraft show no signs of attempting. "The air above our heads," wrote the pre- visionist, 'would be alive with gayly painted cars, fashioned in the shape of birds of vari- olls species and decorated in imitation of plumage. Strains of music drop from pass ing pleasure boats in the dim twilight like notes out of heaven; laughter comes trickling down in bubbles from the upper air; sweet voices are heard above our heads" Thus thirty-six years ago did somebody imagine civilization in the year 2OOO. Since then the development of the photograph has indicated how many kinds of music might descend thru the twilight-Ex
