Poland Is at present split into three sec

land. At the outbreak of the present hos
tilites the Poles of Galicia and Prussia
were allowed to organize an independent
body of troops numbering 10000 men, who
were to protect their territory from Rus
sian invasion, the intimatlon being that
II they did so Germany and Austria would
recognize their national independence at
the close OF the war
The Poles OF Russian Poland, on the
other hand, were informed that IL they
fought for Russia, that nation would rec
ognize their national independence even
tually. This has put the Poles in a pre-
carious position, some of them being
obliged to support the one side and some
the other; the result has been the an
nouncement on the part of Russia that
the offer for independence is now void.
for, It is said, some OF the Russian Poles
have not only refused to fight for Russia,
but have gone to the aid OF the Poles OF
Prussia and Galicia.

With this situation in mind, the Polish
Falcons OF this country intend to demand

the conflict. The Polish Falcons Of this
country have in their treasury at present
100000, all of It contributed from their
own pockets. and the majority OF them

The enthusiasm Of the Falcons is
splendid. p. Wasowicz, vice president
of ono OF the Philadelphia nests, when
questioned as to the probable outcome
of their plans, replied:
'I do not know, but whatever happens
every one OF us will give his life gladly
for his country. We hate the slavery
that holds our country down. and the
time has almost come when the Falcon
will break from his bonds or die.
Every one of us Is ready to return to
fight; after that we stay as long as our
country needs us-perhaps some stay after
that and some return. Anyway, the life
of every Falcon belongs to the Father
Iand-that is all that matters, and II he
dies each one wants to die fighting for
the freedom of the Falcon,

her symbol-the eagle which fears moth
ing and fights against the foe until he
is conquered. But when we are sub
jects and can no longer overcome the
oppressor, the symbol is no longer fitting,
and we organize the Falcons-named after
the bird which longs for freedom and
dies in the cage. IL she is not liberated,
but fights and fights hard before she
dies"

POLISH FALCONS
READY TO FIGHT
FOR FATHERLAND
Twelve Hundred in This
City Drill Twice a Week.
Forty Thousand in America
Await Call to Battle.

Twelve hundred Polish Falcons, resi-
dents of Philadelphia, are undergoing
grueling military drill twice every week
and field maneuvers once each month,
awaiting the moment when the national
body may be called to arms to fight for
the freedom of Poland.
This is not the drilling OF an "awkward
squad" but the expert drilling OF uni
formed and armed soldiers, who arc
keeping strict military training, hoping
that the freedom OF their Fatherland may
be accomplished peacefully, but deter
mined to fight to the end If 1t cannot
The fact that the Polish Falcons ex-
listed in this country has never been a
secret but few have realized the mag
nltude of this force-there are 10000 in
America and $4,000 of these are in the
United States-while fewer still have
realized that the outbreak of the Euro
pean war has placed the military activ-
ity OF this body in an entirely new light
for the present conflict Is what the Fall
cons have been waiting for for years. a
conflict in which the Powers now holding
portions OF their country are lighting
against each other and are having their
military strength weakenfd by stagger-
ing losses.
The Falcons of this country are divided
into 16 major districts or circuits, which
are subdivided into SIC smaller units called
nests" Philadelphia Is in Circuit No. l3
which includes such nsighboring cities as
Camden, Trenton, Reading. Baltimore and
Wilmington. This circuit is composed OF
12S nests, u OF these being in this city.
The officers OF Circuit No. Is are p.
Borowicz. president; G. Roeie. vice presi-
dent; A. WoJsowsld, secretary; w. No
wax, treasurer. The nests have their
local president. who oversees the military
drill OF that division; but once every
month, without previous notice, the cir
cult president mobilizes the forces OF the
entire circuit. and extensive field drills
are held.
