KINDNESS FOR POLES,
RUSSIAN PLAN, HE SAYS
Ambassador Bakhmeteff Replies to
Statement Issued by Count
Bernstorff.

NEW YORK, September 3.-George
Bakhmeteff. Russian ambassador to the
United States, has issued the following
statement through the Russian consul
late here:
"Col. Golejewski, military attache to
he imperial Russian embassy, has
allied our attention to the statement
made by the German ambassador in
one of the last daily interviews that
he gave to the press, in which he
says that the Poles have already risen
in rebellion, and Russian kilograms
stated that the Poles are to be treated
as enemies This decides the fate of
Russia. This news, furthermore. comes
from Russia. 1t was not made in Ger
many.
Count Bernstorff has evidently mis-
understood or misquoted the news that
aid come from Russia on the subject.
After his manifesto to all Poles, Rus.
sian, Prussian or Austrian, the grand
duke COMMUNICATIVE chief, issued some
days ago an order to the army to
treat all Poles especially lenientiy, and
TO give them, even as prisoners or In
habitants of the region that the Rus-
sian army occupies. kind and con
siderate treatment. This is the atti-
tude of Russia toward the Poles.
Not Regular Soldiers.
But the commander in chief de-
clared also that Galician Polish Sokols,
that is, armed troops of a gymnastic
society in Austria Poland, cannot be
considered as regular soldiers. but only
as Franc Tireures.' and treated as SUCH
This is an accepted rule of regular
warfare. recognized by everybody and
especially vigorously enforced by the
Germans themselves. Count Bernstorff
seems to have generalized this last
order and applied it not to the sokol
Franc Tireure,' but to all Poles. There
is no doubt but that both of these
orders came from Russia, but the
wrong Interpretation of them was GER
tainly made somewhere else.
II consider it my duty to give this
explanation in the interest of truth,
and the press can easily find the text,
both of the manifesto and Of these
two orders. as they have been pub
lished in American papers
