BERLIN, Germany, Jan. . (By the

have occupied th railway station at
Chrosschneik. four miles from Bent
schen, and have seat an ultimatum to
the German commander in the latter
place, demanding that he surrender.
The demand has been refused, ac
cording to the Tageblatt.
(Bentschln Is near the boundary, be

Warsaw, Russian Poland. Jan. 6.
(Associated Press.) Ignace Jan Pad

radskL the Polish military dictator,
will not give up his authority In Po
land at the present time. The two
Polisb leaders have had an interview,
which, it Is indicated, was unsatisfac
tory. He Is said to have borne messages
from the allies to the effect that the
Pllsudskt government is not to be
recognized, as it represents less than
one-tenth of the people.
Gen. Pllsudski is said to have flatly
refused to form a new cabinet and
Paderewskl has announced that he
will be unable to work with Ptlsudskl.
In commenting upon wnat no

help the Poles to stem the tide ot
Bolshevism, Ignace Jan Paderewskl,
who Is suggested as the first pres
ident of Poland, denounced the Bol

As he spoke, crowds outside the
hotel windows were still cheering,
alnclng the national anthem and
calling for him. although It was
3 oeloch: la the morning; and
madame Paderewskl was plaint
ively insisting that her husband
take some rest, saying that he had
been speaking continuously for
SO hours.
The Bolshevist idea is to kill all
users of the toothbrush." he said. "It
this war is to help mankind, Bolshe
vism must be downed.
"The inevitable result of Bolshe
vism will be a return to the barbaric
era in Russia and eastern central Eu
rope. If Poland Is not helped to create
a barrier against it, then liberty and
justice do not exist. Unhappily, the
allies are disgusted with the Idea of

is believed to have been due to rheu

The colonel suffered a severe attack
of rheumatism and sciatica on New

illness would likely prove fatal. The
former president sat up most of Sun
day and retired at 11 oclock last
night.
About 4 a. nz, Mrs. Roosevelt,
wh. was the only .ther member
of the family at Oyster Bay, went
t. her husband's room and found
that he had died during the night.
Mrs. Roosevelt telephoned to CoL

Roosevelt home immediately. Tele
grams were dispatched to the
colonel's children, who were In other
parts of the country. Two of the

of the American Defence society, of which he was honorary president.
"I cannot be with yon and so all I can do is to wish yon Godspeed," it read.
"There mast be no sagging back in the fight for Americanism merely because
tbe war is over.
PRINCIPLE IS SIMPLE.
"There are plenty of persons who have already made the assertion that
they believe the American people have a short memory and that they intend
to revive all the foreign associations which most directly interfere with the
complete Americanism of onr- people. Onr principle in this matter should be
absolutely simple.
"In the first place, we should insist that if the immigrant who comes here
does in good faith become an American and assimilates himself to ns, he shall
be treated on an exact equality with every one eke, for it is an outrage to dis
criminate against any sach man because of creed or birthplace or origin. But
this is predicated upon the man's becoming is every fact an American nothing
but as American.
NO DIVIDED ALLIANCE.
"If he tries to keep segregated with men of his own origin and separated
from the rest of America, then he isn't doing his part as an Americas. There
can be so divided alliance at all
"We have room for bat one flag, the American flag, and M excludes tbe
red flag which symboh'xes all wars against liberty and civilization, just as much
as it excludes any foreign flag of a nation to which we are hostile.
"We have room for but one language here, and that is the English lan
guage, for we intend to see that the schools turn our people out as Americans
and American nationality, and not as dwellers is a polyglot boarding house;
and we have room for but one seal, loyalty, and that is loyalty to tie Ameri
can people."
