(By The Associated Press')
PRAHA, Sept. 7—More than a thousand infantrymen
and artillerymen patrolled the Czech-Polish border in the
vicinity of Cieszyn, today to prevent new outbursts of ani
mosity between the Poles and Czechs, occasioned by jeol
ousies which have flared intermittently since this territory
became Czechslovakian, after the world war.
Outbursts occurred again when Polish nationalists drove
through a number of communities breaking window's, furn
ture and otherwise damaging school houses, as an answer tc
the Czech language among Polish residents.
The police today arrested twelve men, called the ring
leaders oi U:V"attack on the Czechs, and arranged for tnen
immediate deportation. Praha demanded measures be
taken against the Poles’ request for a garrison, and those
demands were sent with orders to use whatever measures
might be necessary to quell disturbances and lessen the
tension.

(Continued From Yesterday)
(By Howard Lyng)
In addition to the Road Commis
sion forces and the Alaskan labor
mentioned another eight hundred
and fifty men are contributing their
labor, time and energy towards the
successful culmination of the first
stage of this pioneer undertaking,
that marks another epoch of the
steady climb to Statehood of this
Northern Stepchild of our Uncle
I Sam. Six hundred of these men have
been drawn from the relief, some
times called Transient Camps of
California and Washington. This
contingent is quartered in three j
camps. The largest and also Head
quarters Construction Camp is lo
cated two miles south of Palmer,'
and contains around four hundred
men. Camp No. 2 contains about
one hundred and fifty men and is
located about eight miles north of
Camp No. 1. The adult male Colon
ists now number one hundred and
: seventy-five, the original two hun
dred having been reduced to the
, present number due to the depart
ure for the States of twenty-five
families for various reasons that
have been well aired in the press, j
Those that have stuck are hard at
work on their respective tracts, as
sisting in clearing land getting out
logs and in actual construction work, j
For the most part this group is show l
ing commendable zeal in the man
ner of approach to the problems in
hand. The colonists as a whole are
digging in with industry and high
courage.
In the opinion of the writer the
Citizens of the Territory should feel
well pleased with the general cal
ibre of these Newcomers, pioneers
after a fashion, and the forerunners
of a new breed of Alaskans—tillers
of the soil. The balance of the
group that goes to make up the
eight hundred and fifty referred to
are connected with the various de
partments of administration; Col
onization, Farming Construction
Health Social Welfare etc.

A word about the structure of the

$3,000. Out of this general credit ■

“ and landed on the bat
I Although Douglas was painfully
1 burned he refused to come to Fair
