A site near Owen Sound has been selected for the training camp of the projected legion, and a skeleton staff, which members of the mission will reâ€" inforce, has been assembled there alâ€" ready. But the recruiting headquarâ€" ters of the legxon are to be in Windsor. Undoubtodly one reason for this choice is the proximity of Windsor to the great American City of Detroit, which is said to contain more people of Polâ€" ish blood than any other city in the world except Warsaw and Lodz 4n Poland itself. The legion hopes to draw wrecruits from the Polish populaâ€" tion of Canada, which numbers about 200,000, but it also aspires to enlist men from the much larger Polish pepulation of the United States, which was placed by the last census at 1,268,583.

In the: American War of Independence Thadâ€" deus Kosciusko, the famous Polish patriot, after enlisting as a volunteer on the American side in 1776, fought so valiantly that Washington made him his adjutant, and he was admitted to the famous Arnerican Order of the Cincinnati. Years later he was the chief leader of his country in its fight for freedom agsainst the Russians and the Prussians, and when he was deâ€" feated the poet, Thomas Campbell, wrote: the famous line, "And freedom shrieked when, Kosciusko fell."

TWO REASONS® WHY HITLER DbOOMED to know why a big man ‘ring this bell for himâ€" North Bay Disappearance Last week the Attorneyâ€"General‘s office made reply to a question, givâ€" ing in effect that information that the Kirk case in North Bay had not been dropped or forgotten. Mr. and Mrs. Earl D. Kirk, wellâ€"known and highlyâ€"esteemed â€" residents of North Bay, left last October on a motor. holiâ€" day trip, and have been listed among the missing since. Family and finanâ€" cial conditions were happy and there seemed to be no possible reason for the voluntary disappearance of the couple, or of either one of them. They left some small children at North Bay, and everything pointed to the idea that they planned to return to North Bay after the holiday. They had notified relatives in the West of their intenâ€" tion to visit there, but it was theéir failure to fill this engagement or to write about it, that eventually led to fear for their safety, as the couple disappeared â€" completely. They . were easily traced from North Bay to Sudâ€" bury, but after that it looks as if the couple and their automobile were swallowed in one of the mysteries that Werk in Progress on the Smoky Falls Clay Claims There has been special interest shown in the development of the ching clay claims on the ~Mattagami river near Smoky Falls, as this â€"promises anâ€" other new and important industry for the North.
