'which they are utterly ignorant. At

hardly 119,000 Russians In Poland
in a population of thirteen odd mil
lions; that is, less thar one per
cent. TLus, for the convenience of
uc hundredth part of the popula
tion an unknown language is forc
ed upon the enormous majority of
people.
The council has collected figures
of population which prove that the
Polish problem will not gradually
fade through the disappearance of
the Poles The latest government
al census shows the Poles number
11,S03,13;», a larger total than
either Helgiuni, Romania, the Neth
erlands or Portugal has.
The Polish birth rate is astonish
ing. varying from 36.2 per thous
ands in Sileria to 39.5 in Bosnania,
39.9 in Calieia and 4S per thousand
in Russi in Poland. These rates
contrast with 19.8 in France, 26.9 In
Great Qritian, 26 in Switzerland,
31.6 in Germauy, 32.9 in Austria
and 33.3 i.er thousand in Spain.
It is this remarkable incraese in
pop llation, the council argues, which,
act latos Padrewski in calling on the
i'oles in Galicia to som^^jg
1 vVii'u j ,es" and channels in their land.
Padrewski, it is claimed, was not
giving vent to anti-Semitic spirit in
•■is utterance, but endeavored only
to arouse the Polish spirit to dis
pute another item in their subju
gation.
The Polish National Council of
America, it is announced, will soon
establish an office at Washington,
L>. C.. and an attempt will be made
to interest the American people In
the fight for freedom being made
by this race, once the proudest in
Europe.

HANDICAPPED.
This Ls tlie Case Willi Many Alos
Too many Alaskan citizens arc
handicapped with ba backs. The
unceasing pain causes constant mis
ery, making work a burden and stoop
ing or lilting an impossibility. The
back aches at night, preventing re
freshing rest and in the morning is
stiif and lame. Plasters and lini
ments may give relief but cannot
reac.'i the cause if the kidneys are
weak. To eliminate the pains aud
aches of kidney backache you must
cure the kidneys.
i oan's Kidney Pills are for dis
ordered kidneys.
The following statement should !
convince e\ery Alaskan reader of
their *fir.cr.cy.
Mrs. 3. E. Rainwatr, 1207 E. Wa
ter St., Albany, Ore., sa~s: "I am
always willing to speak a good word
for Doan's Kidney Pills in return fo
the benefit they brought me after
other medicines and doctors' treat
ment had failed. I could get no
sleep and in the morning was all tir
ed out. Doan's Kidney Pills made
a cure. Since then when I have had
slight attacks of the old trouble, I
have taken Doan's Kidney Pills.
They have always given the best re
sults."
