tions continued without letup, in
formed sources asserted that the
Polish Ambassador in Berlin, Joseph
Lipski, had received two demands
last week from Foreign Minister
Joachim won Ribbentrop.
He was said to have asked un-
conditional Polish consent to Ger
man annexation of Danzig and
extraterritorial rights for Germany
to build road through the Polish
Corridor to connect East Prussia
with the rest of Germany.
Informed sources drew this pic
ture of events that ensued while
tension mounted in Europe:
Lipski replied that Poland could
not accept the demands. In the
words OF Vice Premier Eugene
Kwiatkowski: Poland is indivisible.
If we give away any part of it, the
rest will be lost"
At the same time, Col. Beck de-
clared his willingness to arrange the
future status of Danzig with Ger
many If Germany agreed to protect
vital Polish economic interests in
Danzig.
With a preponderantly Germanic
population, Danzig technically is
under League Of Nations control,

Versailles treaty to give Poland a
Baltic outlet.

If everything goes all right, " the big General Construction Con- pany dipper dredge will move un- der the Douglas bridge at 1 o'clock this afternoon with about six in- ches to spare.
 Capt. William Burke, Superin- tendent of the company'S operations here, said this morning that an attempt would be made to move the dredge from it's moorings near the Alaska Juneau dock to the small boat harbor on this after noon's low tide.
 The dredge stretches approxi- mately 63 feet into the blue from the water line. At zero stage of the tide, there is approximately 69 feet of clearance between the bridge and the surface of the channel.
 This afternoon at l o'clock, at low tide for the day the tide was a 54 footer, which would give the dredge a clearance of about six in- cheS.
 If the maneuver fails, the dredge may be damaged. At any rate, if it fails to get through with the tug Edward Schank, General Construc- tion Company will have to wait for minus tides this weekend.
 If they get through, work vii begin immediately" Capt. Burke said, working three shifts for 24- hour operation with about 32 mer employed all told, on the dredge shifts and the tugboat shifts.
 Also to be employed in the dredg- i ing operation will be two 330 yart dump barges and an oil barge tha1 will carry about one hundred 42. gallon barrels trip, supplying ths dredge oil burners.

Interesting Old Paper

DR.. j. B. Slicer, of this town, has
in his possession a copy of. the Phil
adelphia Inquirer of Tuesday, April
Is, 1865. This old paper is in deep
mourning, and gives under the
headlines 1.-THE Nation Mourns Its
Loss detailed account of the as
sasination of President Abraham
Lincoln, who was shot in Ford's
Theatre, by John Wilkes Booth the
actor, on the night of Friday, April
IA, 1865.
The paper gives detailed account
of the great tragedy by an eye-wit-
ness who was seated in the theatre
near President Lincoln's private box.
1t also tells of the escape of the
assassin and the far-fung search
being made; the attempt on the life
of Secretary of State Seward, and
the plot of the conspirators, headed
by Booth, who hoped by the assas-
sination of the President and Cab
met members to accomplish the
overthrow of the Government and
further the cause of the Confed-
eracy.
