NEUTRALITY OF THE POLES IN

In Its various statements issued to

II of America has defined the attl.
ude of the Poles toward the war In

The Polish National Council in
lmerica (Polska Rada Narodowa ~

'ederation of various Polish organic
,tions and parishes which are scat.
cred over the whole United States
IN these parishes it establishes citi.

scouts. 1t conducts its own press bu

tul news about Poles. which also
maintains relations with similar bu-
eaus in London, Paris, Rome amt
switzerland.
The Polish National Council has
; ssued a warning to the Poles now
esiding Or s%ojourning in.the United
;tates, urging them strongly not to
espond to the calls for, reservists Of
he three powers (Russia, Germany
nd Austria-H ungary) which had
'ismembered Poland, MOI. to send any
honey to Europe, although our coun-
I -ymen there are compelled to serv"
n the armies Of each of the three
ountries, and even frequently en-
age in battles with their own coun-
rymen on their native soil. Poles
annot sympathize with any of the
hree powers, and the dreadful
7rongs and prosecutions which have
cen inflicted on them for more than
{. hundred years both by the Germans

impossible for them to wish sue.
ess to either OF these powers. Poles
wish them, however, that the strug-
lie exhaust and weaken them TO
:uch an extent as to make It possible
or a great war to break out for tbs
Independence OF the various Slavic
peoples who are oppressed by the
Mongolian rule Of Russia as well as
by the despotic and discriminating
'ule Of Germany tPrussia).
1t is both the desire and the hope
II Poles that the outcome Of the Eu-
-opean war may be a war similar to
he revolutionary war in the Ameri-
ian Colonies at the end of the eigh.
tenth century, a war for the liberia
lion Of the Slavic nations, to which.
besides $4,000, 900 Poles. also belong
,s0.000,000 Ruthenians, as well as
Czechs, Servians, Croats and Bulga-
rians, etc. II such a war were as
successful as the celebrated war Of
the American Colonies, 1t would be
followed by a coalition of the Slavic
nations each with its own govern
ment, which would constitute the
possible security of universal peace
and lead to the ultimate disarma-
ment OF Europe, toward which the
peoples are striving. but thus far
have been successfully thwarted by
their monarchial governments.

FAIRLY GOOD BUSINESS IN THE

SECOND MONDAY.

For a second Monday Columbia had
a big drove of mules here today. AT
an early hour this morning the streets
Immediately around Court Square
were pretty we'll lined with mules and
they came in until just before noon.
A large number of sales were made
at good prices although there was
scarcity of foreign buyers. Most OF
the mules sold were bought by local
buyers and there were some good
ones to change hands. There was
also a good crowd of people in the
city, although of course In compari-
son with that of last Monday it was
not large.

PASSENGER RATE
CASE IS CONSIDERED
BY COMMISSIONERS
BEGAN TODAY AND MAY CON
TiNUE UNTIL MIDDLE OF
SUMMER.
IS OF MUCH IMPORTANCE
Sought to Force the Railroads to Put
Two and Half Cent Passenger
Rate in State-coupons Are of Pos.
sibIe Value.

Since the first of the year the state
railroad commission has been exceed
iagly busy hearing cases and handing
down decisions at the rate of two a
lday, but the case which will attract
the most attention from the general
public, and in which the general pub
lie is most directly interested and viii
receive a contributory benefit is that
of the question of rates.
This same question was tried in Al
ALBANIA and it was tentatively under
stood that the Tennessee action would
be based directly upon the decision Of
the Alabama courts. But subsequent
developments showed this to be an
error, and today the Tennessee COM
mission began work on the case.
1t is sought to force the railroads
J to put a two and half cent rate ON
travel within the bounds of the state.
1t is anticipated that this will be the
longest case the commission has ever
had, as according to statement of
one of the commissioners it is believ-
ed that the taking OF proof may con-
tinue daily until June.
The law provides that before the
commission can force the railroa DIS
to reduce their rates trial must be
had and proof taken in order that the
commission may determine the rea.
condolences of the demand for re-
duction.
After proof Is taken the commits
sion will hand down it's decision
Should the decision be against the
railroads and the defendants then re
fuse to obey the orders of the com
mission, the case will be taken to the
courts
So it will be seen that a case be
gan some time ago is likely to drag
another couple of years before a final
decision and settlement is reached
and the rebate attachments to all
tickets sold will continue to be issued
Should a final decision be rendered
against the roads then recovery up
Ion these coupons held against the
roads can be had The large majority
Of people who travel throw these
coupons aside, but there are others
who not only take care of their own
but gather up such as are thrown
away by others, and there are a few
collections of this character in Middle
Tennessee that will be worth a hand
some sum in case of a decision max
ing them of value. One man who
makes Columbia IN regular travels X
said to possess enough to amount to
$4,000.

At the last meeting of the Maury
Chapter u. ID. C. on Friday, January
8, the retiring president, Mrs. Rebec-
ca McLemore, delivered review of
the work of the chapter for the year
1913, which was most interesting
paper, and will doubtless bear some
feature of interest to those who are
not connected with the organization.
This paper showed that the good
women of the chapter are doing much
that is not known and appreciated as
it should be by the general public.
The chapter has been in existence
for eighteen years, and while all have
shown most satisfactory work it ID
doubtful if any have been more salts
factory than 1913.
The old Confederate soldier is an
object of unfiagging interest and dur
ing the year it was shown that eight
crosses of honor were conferred, and
there are six to be conferred in June
A charming and commendable feature
of the work of the U. d. G.. is the al

Quaker Meetings Have Disappeared.

In Iowa today few are the places
where one can sit down in an old fash
Toned Quaker meeting. So great have
been the changes among the Orthodox
Friends hat in manner of Worship
not to say in worship itself-little real
difference longer exists between them
and the other evangelical denomina.
tons, aside from the religious rites
which the latter in some cases OBJ
serve. The Stranger finds little that is
distinctive or peculiar, and nothing
to embarrass him in the wodern
Friends meetings. So completely have
the ancient Quaker characteristics
been obliterated that those few mem
bers of the ancient or conservative
body who still live in Iowa insist that
their Orthodox brethren should no
longer call themselves Friends" but
that they should adopt some name
more consistent with heir modernized
tendencies-From a volume on "The
