CRACOW
By Gertrude E. Mallotto
,.oAAuOonNNoANnNANHH<

As Russia forces the Austrian re- treat toward historic Cracow she feels no doubt some faint satisfaction be- cause of the fact that her present DO. sition enables her in some measure to put new entry on the records, an entry which may in some way dim the memory of her one-time defeat within the walls of that same city.
 Cracow is on the Rudowa, at it's junction with the Vistula, and is at the head of navigation on the latter river, and takes its name from its mythical founder Krakus. The city has been the victim of many wars, it's real importance beginning in 1920 when it was made the capital of Po- land, a distinction which 1t claimed until 1909. And until the beginning of the 18th century Cracow was the coronation place of Poland's kings.
 In 1889 the Bohemians captured the city. Victorious Mongols made 1t theirs in 1241, and in 1858 and 17O2 1t fell into the hands of the Swedes. Then In 176S comes Russia to claim 1t for her own, to lose 1t thus;

COW called to arms. Five thousand scythes were made for the peasants. and voluntary offerings of the patriots were collected, and Ingelstrom sent his cavalry nobles against them. But the steadlness of the peasants saved the day and twelve Russian guns were captured.
 On the 17th of April, 1794, the tocsin sounded in all the churches and the instruction broke out. On the 18th Ingelstrom left the town with great difficulty leaving six thousand soldiers prisoners. Later, several months, the Prussians managed to take the city and the government of Warsaw, de- clared war on Frederick William II, and attributed the loss of Cracow to treason, decision which resulted in the death of seven of their officials who had been among the promoters of the Confederation of Russian Agents. The King of Prussia set about personally conducting the siege and bombardment of Warsaw, Q task from which he was called to Quell the anx- iety which had meanwhile arisen from the threatened breaking of the coali- tion against France. He accordingly raised the siege and went back into Great Poland to quiet the instruction there, thoroughly disgusted with his Russian ally.
 Finally, in 1795, the partition was effected with the aid of Catherine and others. and Cracow became an Aus trlan possession. It was part of the Duchy of Warsaw and by the Con- gress of Vienna was named the capital of the Republic of Cracow, then as the result of the insurrection in 1846 the city was with its tributary, annexed to Austria.

The city is noted for its churches, among which the Church of St. Mary, and the Franciscan and Dominican figure as the most import ant. The Cathedral, consecrated in 1859, is the burial place of the kings and heroes of Poland The chapels contain number of magnificent mon- umeuts and notable sculptures, among them a Christ Blessing, by Thorwald. sen. the Danish sculptor. The silver shrine of St. stanislaus which is in the center of the church is also a work of rare beauty. This shrine was erect. ed in memory of Stanislaus, the Bish. op of Cracow, and patron saint of Pc land, who was killed in 1O79.

and after consenting to the despoil- ing of Poland she must needs consent to its partition. The Empress might have freed Poland from the hated Prusslan yoke and united the whole kingdom under her authority, decree which would have been accepted with something very near gratitude, but the selfish Catherine saw fit to demand that the Polish troops swear allegiance to her.
 The Polish patriots, however, had centered all their hopes in Thaddeus Kosciuszko, a middle class man who shared the outraged feelings of his countrymen. This Kosciuszko, as the world knows, mustered and organized a mob army, which he later led against General Ingelstrom who was com manding in Warsaw for Catherine II, and who was too occupied with the affairs of his own charge to under stand what Kosciuszko meant. Then Polish Madallbskl refused to allow his brigade to be disarmed, and crossed the Bug, threw himself on the Prus- sian forces and then fell back on Cra- COW, just as Austria did few days ago, and the capital of the ancient kings arose and expelled the Russian garrison. Kosciuszko hastened to the scene of action and put forth the "act of lnsurrection" in which the hateful conduct of the co.partitioners was branded, and the population of Cra-
