Washington, May 1.-TWO monu'

Pulaski and Kosciusko, the Polish he
roes, both of whom fought and one OF
whom died that liberty in America
might live, were dedicated here today.
The time of the dedication was so ar
ranged that President Taft could at
tend each.
While the president made the prin-
cipal address at the unwilling of the
monument to Pulaski, which stands
in the triangle at 18th street and
Pennsylvania avenue, Secretary of
War Dickinson was making the prin-
cipal address at the Kosciusko statue

ed by an act of congress, but the stat
ue to Kosciusko is a gift to the ma
tion from the Polish National Ali
ance and other organizations of Poles
who have made their homes in the
free republic for which their distin-
guished countrymen fought. There
was a double significance to the I'M
yelling of the monument to Koscius-
ko, for it marked the opening here To-.
morrow of the first Polish National
Congress to attend which thousands
of Poles from all over the United
States have come.
The purpose of the congress is to
discuss in all it's phases the condition
of the Polish nation, to acquire famil-
iarity with the needs of the Polish
natiopal life and find ways and means
of fulfilling them.
The ceremonies which preceded
the dedication of the statues were

well as the national guard of the
District of Columbia marched, was
one of the features. Brigadier Gen
eral Tasker II. Bliss, L. S. A., was

In the heart of the business section
of the city the monument to Pulaski
stands fourteen feet from the side
walk in triangular green. In the
saddle of a charger is mounted the
figure of the hero in the Polish Hussar
uniform in which he won command
of a brigade of Washington cavalry
for his gallant conduct at the Brandy
wine. Pulaski always wore the uni
form of his beloved fatherland, and it
clothed his breast through three years
of valiant fighting on American soil
until he fell at the siege of Savannah,
in 1879. and died on the United States
brig of war Wasp in the harbor, two
days after.
The sculptor, Chedzinski, gathered
material for his work in Paris, Ber-
