THE WRONGS
 OF POLAND RadziWill InterpellateS
 Won BuelOW. THE CHANCELLOR D0DGES Says the Matter is for the Prussian Diet to Settle. School Scandals at Wreschen are Re- ferred to by Prince Radziwil
 Says Teachers Have Re-
 course to Brutalities.

Berlin, Dec. 10.-An aged aristocrat Prince Ferdinand Radziwill, in whose veins flows the blood of the ancient kings of. Poland, spoke of the wrongs of his people in the Reichstag today. Prince Radziwill is a cousin of Prince Anton Radziwill, an intimate friend of Emperor William and nephey to that beauuful princess who was loved by the first em- peror and whom he would have married had not reasons, of state required his alliance with one of the ruling houses of Germany.
 The recent ''schol scandals" at Wres- chen were brought up by Prince Radzi- will in the form of an interpolation. Count von Buelow. the Imperial Chan cellor, declared that the matter pcrtained to the Prussion Diet and that, therefore. he must refuse to discuss 1t in the reich stag. He could say, however, that the prestige of the Empire had not suffered in any way by the attitude of the Wres- chen authorities, and the relations with Austria and Russia were entirely unaf- fected.
 "The Poles are moved to the elemental depths of their nature," Prince Radzi- will said, ''by the altogether unnecessary action of the Prussian school authorities. They could not believe the German people intended to treat the Poles cruelty ana uniustly. Nevertheless, prizes are of- fered to those German teachers who obtain the swiftest results in teaching Polish children the German language. Teachers earning these cash bonuses nave used the scourge and have had recourst to brutalities that 1 believe the imperial government should not approve:'+ e
 The speaker said that he wanted 'tc know whether the chancellor of the Elm pire favored these methods aimed at the destruction of one of the dearest posses sions of the Polish people, namely, the use of the vernacular.
 As Count von Buelow replied to Prince Radziwill, he did not appear to his usual advantage. At his best, won Buelow Is equal oratorically to Senator Chauncey M. Depew. After referring to the entire correctness of the attitudes Of Russia and Austria regarding the war saw and Lemberg incidents, he said;
 "I am astonished that the interpellator could suppose for a moment that foreign criticisms could impress us to the slight est degree Foreign sentiments and demonstrations cannot influence our domestic policy or our attitude Tn any way whatsoever. My duty to Germany shall be to administer my office in this sense. and in opposition to the danger, the serious danger, which threatens our policy from the Pole and in order that the German element in the east be not submerged with the Catholic party, which will take up the Polish cause"
 "As the Imperial Chancellor and Prus- sian Premier" concluded von Buelow, T will oppose all efforts to set back the course of history and will see that the Germans in the east do not fall beneath the Polish wheels. It Is the common policy of the powers concerned to act or Identical lines against those agitating fol the restoration of the independence oi Poland"
 Count won Buelow said also that thu views of the press in the United States France. Great Britain and Holland uani mousiy condemned the Wreschen occur rences. and described the grit ant courage of Polish boys and girls wh stood in line without weakening awaiting their turns to be whipped
 There was a great demand for seats il the galleries during the debate. A bis crowd, including hundreds of Polish laborers, gathered outside the building of the Reichstag while the debate was ir progress. large number of policemen were on duty.
