had been called Wilhelm platz, is now known as Liberty Place. And a great statue of Frederick IF, which stood for years in Wilhelm platz, long ago disappeared, having been torn down by Polish residents of Poznan during the night of December 27, 1918 when there were riots and much street fighting between German and Polish subjects, the upshot of the demonstrations convincing German officials that it would be useless to endeavor further to continue Poz- nan in so-called German territory. The German soldiers began withdraw ing that night. Gradually since then German residents have been leaving. Many of them were born in Poznan or vicinity.
 Within the past IA months it is es- timated that approximately 27000 Germans have departed from Poznan, most of them being officials who held government positions under the German regime, and their families and officers of the German army Poznan city officials estimate that about 37,000 persons have moved to Poznan in that time, the majority of these having come from congress Poland.
 Poznan today is city of about 170,000 inhabitants and considered by Germany prior to the outbreak ot the war as the strongest fortified city on it's western frontier. All the forts redoubts and batteries built by the Germans still stand.
 When the Germans were in con trol Polish classes in the schools were forbidden. German is spoken so generally in Poznan, however, that even under the white and scarlet flag of the new republic it is taught in g certain number of schools.

Three Years Needed for Roads to Get
 to Ante-War State

Topeka, April 3o.-It will take at least three years to get the railroads of the country back to their anti war state of efficiency--financially and phvsicallv-W. B. Story, pres ident of the Santa Fe system, declar- ed in an address at 2 banquet of railroad and business men here. Carl R. Gray, president of the Union Pa cific railroad, corroborated Presl- dent Storey's statement. He cited comparisons between the railroads as handed back by the government with the lines turned over to the gov ernment control 26 months before "after being used as political foot ball." as he described the experi- ence. As one reason for the lack of efficient services which he said existed during the period of govern ment control. President Gray re- marked: "Efficient employees were foi ced out of service to make way for administration pats"
 President Storey stated that the railroads of the country need SO0,- GOO box cars in the next three years. The facilities of manufac- turers, if run at full capacity, would furnish only 100000 box cars a year, he said. The roads can not or der all the cars they need at pres ent because they do not know where the moneyto pay for them is to come from. He stated that it will require $1s0, 100000 during the next three years to rehabilitate the Santa Fe system, and that the first problem to be overcome by the roads is the establishment of credits.
 Before the war the Santa Fe's natural growth of business required an expenditure of $20,000,O00 yeal to afford adequate service and ac' commodation,'' said President Storey "It will take three times that amount for the next three years to put us in shape to handle the business Rates will have to go up to put the road on a money-making basis" Both rail chiefs urged public pa tience and forebearence.

POsen Undergoes Changes as Result
 of Newer Regime

Poznan, Poland, April 30.-Poz- nan, which for more than hundred years under German rule was known as Posen, is undergoing alterations as a result of the outcome of the war and the peace conference which gave Poznan back to Poland. Just recently, the task of changing the name of every street in town from German to Polish was completed, the task having been worked out by a commission which began it's duties soon after Poznan became a city of the new republic.
 One of the principal thoroughfares which had been known as Berliner strasse has been renamed the street of December twenty this being what is considered the very last day of the Germans in Poznan A great square in the center of the ,city, which since 1793 excepting an sight-year. interval after Prussia's

Shanghai, April 30.--seven British citizens, one Japanese an. one Amer ican comprise the municipal coun- cil of the International Settlement of Shanghai as a result of the recent election by the taxpayers here.

people of whom about 25,OOO are for eigners. Vigorous efforts of Chinese residents within the settlement boun- daries, who pay regularly 85 per cent of the revenues, to obtain rep resentation on the municipal council have thus far faailed, though this question again is to come up for de- cision in the course of the year. The right of foreign residents of the set clement to vote in municipal cleo tions is determined by the payment of taxes on property.

Fishing Cruisers
 to Have Wireless

Halifax, N. S., April 30.-Equipped with wireless, a fisherfes. cruiser will scout back and forth off the Canadian coast during the coming season. Whenever schools Of mack eral or other food fish are located it will flash the information to sta tions along the coast, which imme- diately transmit the information to the fishing boats.
 The. arrival, location, size and di- rectlon of movement of the schools will be wirelessed. Fishing boats in harbor will be notified directly, and many of the larger boats are equipped with receiving apparatus so that if they are out at sea they will receive this valuable information at once.
 This ultra m odern aid to fisherman is new departure added to the cam paign that began during the war which has resulted not only in edu- eating the people of Canada to the use of fish for food, but is rapidly developing a great new industry Modern fishings using steam trawl- CTS and fleet of smaller boats have been established on the Pa cific coast, and more than 500,000 pounds of flat fish and cod are now being marketed monthly. Dressed and frozen they. are rushed as far east as Winnipeg.
 Fisheries have been established in the inland lakes, and in Saskatche- wan alone more than 10000,00C pounds, principally white fish, are now being caught annually.

Just Like C!ockwork

The New York Times, upholder and
sustainer of the Wilson administra-
ton came out Monday morning with
the following editorial reminder of
the duty Of the convention toward its
leader:
In the nature of the case, the Dem
ocrats are certain to approve and ap-
plaud President Wilson. Custom
prescribes this; political necessity re-
quires it. No other course is possible
at San Francisco. The Democratic
party really has no record for the
last three years except the one made
under the Wilson leadership.
Accordingly the Democrats saw
their duty and the only course open
to them and went to it. What in the
nature of things could be more fitting
than to observe the demands of Gus
tom" and political necessity" Hap
py are they Who have nothing to
worry about.

To Remove First
Signs of Old Age

"The infaIlible first sign of age is

wrinkles" she continues. The sag
too weak to remain in place: they
must be assisted. strengthened"
The best way to strengthen them is
by bathing the face in a simple lotion
made by dissolving an ounce of pure,
powdered saxoiite in a half pint of
witch hazel. This creates a freerscir-
culation to the parts. besides causing
muscles and skin to contract. Saxo-
lite, procuFable at every drug store,
has long been known by complexion
specialists to possess remarkable tonic
and astringent properties, valuable in
