POLICE DIE8 FOR GERMANY
WINNIPEG., Mar. 6.—The news of
the death in action while fighting for
Germany against the Allies of C. M.
R. Abich, former sergeant of the Roy
al Northwest Mounted Police, and al
so former employe of the Department
of Immigration in Winnipeg, has just
beeu received here. When killed,
Abich was an officer with a body of
German Bcouts on the west front, aud
he therefore died while fighting the
King to whom he had sworn allegi
ance.
Abich came directly to Canada from
Berlin in 1903, and joined the
mounted police at Regina. Later he
became a sergeant at Saskatoon, and
in 1911 he left the force and joined
the staff of the immigration office
in Winnipeg. Here he remained un
til theulast week in May, 1914, when
he suddenly informed his friends that
his mother in Berlin was ill, and that
he had to return at once to the Fa
therland. He sailed for Germany in
June, 1914, just two months before
the outbreak of war.
