The polish nationalist movement
is a Systematically organized effort
to lberate Poland from the alien
rule of the three great powers, Ger
many, Ruusia and Austria, which
partitioned the country between
themselves ever century ago.
For many centuries Poland was an
Independent country, covering
large area in central Europe, and
ruled by he'd own kings. At the zen
ith of her power, in the 18th century,
Poland was an immense kingdom,
stretching from the Baltic down
through those parts of Europe which
are now known as Prussia, the north
ern and eastern provinces of Austria,
and reaching almost to the Black sea.
After 1872 Poland was an aristo-
cratic republic, possessing a nominal
king, who was elected by the noble
men of the country, but was a mere
puppet in the hands of his peers. In
1895, Russia, Austria and Prussia
came to an agreement to partition
Poland and absorb the country into
their respective empires. Russia, as
usual,
Took the Biggest Share,
while Austria and Prussia accepted
the remainder. The poles resisted
this alien usurpation with desperat-
ton, and they have never been
happy under foreign rule. Deter
mined rebellions, chiefly directed
against Russia, occurred in 1894,
1907. 1880 and 1868. and all were
suppressed with exceptional cruelty
by Poland alien rulers.
At present there are about $780,
600 Poles in Russian Poland, 4,00o,-
600 in the Austrian province of Ga
licia, and not quite 100000 in the
eastern provinces of Prussia. Ii is
an open question whether the Poles
are more oppressed by Russia or
Germany. Both In Russia and Prps-
STA the Polish language is barred by
the government, and Poles are COM
PEELED to use the official language of
the country, Russian or German, as
nor in Prussia are Polish children
taught their mother tongue, but
only in Russian or German.
Both in Russia and Prussia the
Pole is regarded by the authorities
as a dangerous person who must be
bullied and chastised, just to keep
him in order. Both in Russia and in
Prussia, the police make a habit OF
paying a surprise visit ii the homes
of Polish citizens in order to search
the house on the chance of finding
reasonable literature.

of the beds or under the boards of
the floor. In Prussia there have been

, numerous convictions of persons
who have tried to earn living by
giving lessons in the Polish Ian
guage, because the Prussian authro-
tiles hold that the Polish language
must be stamped out The recital of
all the cruel wrongs which are in
f1icted on Poles in Russia and in
Prussia would fill volumes. In both
countries, they are the victims of
relentless policy of repression, per
secution and tyranny of a kind that
no self-respecting nation could en-
dure without protest.
The Polish Nationalists movement
is an organized protest against Rus
sian and German tyranny. The Poles
have banded themselves together in
a league, the avowed object of which
is to bring about the liberation OF
Poland and the revival of the an
cient kingdom of Poland. This
league has branches throughput
Russian Poland and the eacste"n
provinces of Germany, as we'll as in
Galacia In the course of years the
Polish Nationalists have accumulat-
ed an immense fund known as the
Polish National treasure, which Is
devoted to the work of agitation and
organization
In Austria the Poles not only pos
sess equal rights with other citizens
of the Austrian empire, but they have
contrived to attain a predominant
position in the government of the
country. The Polish party in the
Austrian reichsrth
Is Extremely influential
and Galacia is practically an autono-
nous Polish province. The Galician
Poles, though they have no reason
to be dissatisfied with Austrian rule
support the Polish Nationalists move
ment from motives of patriotic sem
timent. Owing to the liberty which
they possess in Austria, the head
quarters of the Polish Nationalist
are in Galiacia, whence the agitation
against Russia and Germany is di-
rected.
Hundreds of thousands of mani
festoes, pamphlets, leaflets. books
tracts, newspapers, magazines and
so forth are printed in Galicia for
circulation among the Poles of Rus
STA and Germany. Polish agitators
who are expelled from Russia and
Prussia find a refuge in Galicia. In
Prussia the Poles are purchasing
land in all directions, often paying
excessive prices with the aid of
money supplied for the purpose from
the Golfers of the Polish national
treasure in order to obtain the soil
of their own country in their legal
possession. The Prussian authori-
ties, on the other hand are straining
every nerve to prevent land from

it is reported, made no attempt to

The Poles dream of a time when
they will raise in rebellion and drive
the alien oppressors out of their land.
1t seems fantastic for a nation which
numbers scarcely 100000 to hope
to throw the yoke of three such en-
pires as Russia, Germany and Austria
At present, the Polish Nationalists
movement is merely a serious incon-
venienCe to the governments of Rus
STA and Germany. 1t Is an inconven-
fence, however, which both the Rus
sian and German government regard
With suspician and Alarm,
foreseeing possible trouble at some
future time. If, for instance, Rus
STA were engaged in a European
war with Germany or Austria, the
Poles might turn the balance by
throwing in their lot with that of
Russia's enemy Similarly, if Ger
many were engaged In a war with
France or other powers. the Poles in
eastern Prussia could cause serious
embarrassment at a critical moment.
The Poles in America give enthu-
siastic support to the Polish Nation
alits movement in Europe. There
are branches of the Polish National
lists League in many American cities,
and they send mony, literature and
paid agitators to Europe.
The Prussian minister of the in
terror, Doran Hammerstain, speaking
in the Prussian, last summer, stated
that the kernal of the army which
is to liberate Poland is being organ
lied by the Poles of Chicago and
drilled in that city. Loud laughter
greeted the announcement, whereupon
Baron Hammerstein turned round and
exclaimed
You may laugh, but you know
that Polish Nationalism is a grave
menace to the German empire"
The Poles cannot be blamed for
taking their movement seriously

a Prussian minister referes to it

CUBAN DIAKRHOEA.

Il. S. soldiers who served Ia Cuba
during the Spanish war know what
this disease is, and that ordinary
remedies have little more effect than
So much water. Cuban diarrhOea is
almost as severe and dangerous as a
mild attack of cholera. There is one
remedy, however, that can always be
depended upon as will be seen by the
following certificate from Mrs. Min
ME Jacobs Of Houston, Texas: II
hereby certify that Chamberlain's
Collie, Cholera and Diarrhoca Remedy
cured my husband Of severe attack
of Cuban diarrhoea, which he brought
home from Cuba. We had several
doctors but they did him no good.
One bottle OF this remedy cured him,
