Chicago, June I. The Rev. T.
v Jakimovicz, of the Polish Bap-
tist church, who recently forward
ed to the American Peace COM
missioners a memorial signed by
members of nearly every Polish
society in America, praying for
autonomy for the kingdom of Po-
land, has received an answer
signed by Secretary Hollis, which
is in part as follows:
"ln reply, am directed by the
commission to call your attention
to the fact that the commission at
this conference is strictly repre-
sentative of the president and the
secretary of state and must re-
ceive all instructions with refer
ence to its actions here from the
state department in Washington.
We could, therefore, in no case
present memorial without such
instructions. And, besides this,
we regret to say that the rules aud
regulations of the conference ex-
clude from its discussions all mat
