ago it's domain reached from the Baltic
to the Carpathians and stretched from
east TO west for distance of approx
mately GOO miles.
"The first partition of Poland came
in 1772, when Prussia and Austria,
alarmed by the progress of Russia in
Poland. suggested. as a means OF main
tanning the equilibrium of Europe, that
all three powers readjust their ter
ritories at the expense OF Poland" says
the society's bulletin.
poland lay utterly helpless. She
lost about one-ffth of her population
and one-fourth of her territory. The
second partition. in 1793, reduced Po-
land to one-third of her original dimen-
sions, with population of about $780,
600. A third treaty of partition was
signed in 1796. The congress Of Vien-
ma, in 1915. divided Poland between
Prussia. Austria and Russia. with the
exception of Cracow. which was erect
ed into a republic embedded In Galicia.
Posen and Gnesen. with population
of $4,000, were left to Prussia. Aus

In 1880. following the outbreak Of the
French revolution. military revolt
took place in Warsaw. This war last

the Congress Kingdom was reduced to
the position of Russian province. The
last remaining remnant of Polands
separate political existence was Cra-
COW, and 1t was finally occupied bS
Austria in 1876. The last attempt Of
the Poles to achieve independence was
in 1868. 1t was marked by no real
battle and the uprising was soon re-
pressed. The national history of Po-
land closes with this attempt at free

door yard, and decorations of flowers,
golden rod and American flags were
used, but the load of provisions that
was piled upon that table made it fair
ly groan beneath it's load After the
assembled crowd had all partaken
there did not seem to be any indica-
ton that living was high.
After dinner was over Col. L. G. Hunt

chosen remarks complimented the host

ing travelled life's highway together
for fifty years, and on behalf of Joe
Hooker Post, No. 81, of this city,
presented Comrade Carter and his wife
with golden fruit set and a pretty
American flag and staff. Col. Hunt re-
minded him that it was the flag he had
helped to save in the dark days when
traitors were trying to destroy the
Union and the flag. Marching Through
Georgia, was sung and Col. Hunt call
ed Conrad John Elder to the front and
he made the host and hostess feel glad
that they had lived to see this day.
Shan Suits drum corps was present
and enlivened the occasion with some
excellent martial music. Col. Hunt
sang the words of Bunker Hill, after
which the guests faced to the east and
there camera was focused upon them

Americas favorable opinion which the

newspapers described as being almost
wholly on the side Of the allies. To
England one curious development Of
this war is that American public opin-

amounted to little and has received
slight consideration. Now, however.
the good will of the United States is
eagerly sought. and it is realized that
when the end comes Washington will

England is not asking for direct
American support. fully realizing that
Americas duty is strict neutrality, but
the governments of the allies. the pub
lie men and the newspapers urge
America to think that this is fight
against autocracy and military dicta-
torship which, If it ended successfully
for the kaiser, would leave America in
a dangerous position.
The only point of irritation which
has appeared here is the possibility Of
German ships being transferred to the
American flag and transporting food
to Holland, whence it will be shipped
to the German army. 1t is considered
that this is doubtful question of pure
neutrality. Some commentators pro-
fess some agitation on this point, while
others take the view that America can
