MODJESKA TO Be
BURIED in POLAND

Washington, April 9.-The decision
to take Nine Modjeska's body to Po-

obsequies might incite a national anti
Russian demonstration.
At the Russian embassy here today
it was said no objection would be
made by the Russian government. so

of Nine. EModjeska's body at Cracow.
