The Louisville church has $50 mem

Poland Faces Second Crisis
Unhappy Country Again in Trouble

on the Russian side, charging at body
of the enemy with bayonets raised
and the battle-crys ringing from both
sides-only to distinguish as they
came to grips that both were shouting
the cry of Poland-and on that instant,
as if inspired by a common impulse,
every bayonet was lowered and every
man in the facing ranks fell on his
knees and in their common language
breathed the Lords prayer. That was
Poland's prayer on the battlefield of
this terrible Eastern conflict.
Here is another thoroughly anthem

without that of the PROSTATE country
under the heels of the fighters press
ing from four sides. But from eye
witnesses returning, from Polish stu
dent refugees from the scourged dis
trict, and from letters to those who
have sought asylum here. there is 4
mass of information on the real con-
ditions at the scene of these gigantic
Eastern operations. Much of this
information flows into the hands of
Miss Laurence Alma-Tadema, daugh-
ter Of the great English artist. who
for three months has been working
day and night as the secretary and
directing genius of the Polish relief
committee, whose offices and patrons
embrace about every name Of note in
England-peers, cabinet members, am
bassadors, artists and authors.
Think of the magnitude of this
appalling Polish tragedy" said Miss
Alma-Tadema to a representative Of
The Associated Press. 1T is Difficult;
for us in England or America, with
conditions serene, to cast the minds
eye across Europe and grasp the fact
that all the titantic Eastern battles
are being fought on Polish soil. And
it is not only a gigantic struggle o.
invading armies from without, one
following another with all their train
of ruin and desolation, but it partakes
almost of civil conflict with Pole fight
ing against Pole.
There are" she went on, about
twelve million Russian Poles, and
about the same number of Austrian
and Prussian Poles All of them have

ARMIES To LEAVE
COUNTRY DESERT
Of RU|NEDHOMES
(By Associated Press.)

LONDON, July 26.-The desperate
fighting now going on around War
saw and throughout the Eastern zone
of operations centers attention on the
colossal tragedy of Poland, the sec
ond that unhappy country has endur
ed, the first having stirred America to
its depths when Kosciusczo went there
to tell Poland's own story and left it's
memories in the statue of the Polish
liberator in one of the public squares
of Washington.
But that first tragedy was as moth
ing compared with what Poland is now
undergoing the entire theatre of East
ern fighting being within the territory
of the old kingdom of Poland, with
Russian armies tramping over the
country from the east, Austrian arm
les from the south and German arm
les from the north and west, all com
pressing Poland as in double vice
from four sides, marching and fighting
on scale of unprecedented magnitude
and leaving train of wreck and DESC
lation even greater than that of Belg-
ium or Serbia This is the testimony
of disinterested witnesses, Polish
English and American, who have re.
Gently traversed the stricken regions
including c. C. Gibson of the Rookie
Teller Foundation, who declared on his
return that this was one of the great
est tragedies the world had known
the devastation of Belgium shrinking
in comparison.

woods or in hollows, gnawing roots
and the bark of trees, while the chill
dren SILVER and starve to death"
And this is from one of the best in
formed Polish authorities in England,
the energetic young woman official OF
the Polish committee, the bearer of one
of England's great names. and the
center into which pours all this mass
of information concerning the colossal
tragedy of Poland.
There are many other enthusiastic
Polish workers here, notably Nine.
Syanislawa Bevan, the Polish wife of
the prominent English painter, Robert
Bevan, who is chairman of the COM
mittee looking after Polish refugees
coming to London. Nine. Bevan, born
in Poland has sacrificed her Jewels t,
aid in caring for her countrymen. One
of the rings sh egave for the cause is
significant of the bcrning hope under
lying the Polish cause. 1t is an old
family heirloom, bearing date just
after Poland was torn into three parts
and passed around to Austria, Prussia
and Russia. What appears to be a
seal on top is in truth miniature cot
fin, emblamatic of Poland's burial. But
when tiny spring is touched, the cot
fin opens and Polish knight in the
full regalia of old Poland, rises with
sword aloft from his tomb in which
Poland has slept since she was dis
membered.
The Anglo-Russian entente creates
many political obstacles to getting de-
tails of conditions in the Eastern fell
for publication and even in telling the
truth. For example, Cardinal Bourne
archbishop of Westminster, made q
remarkable address recently to 6
gathering of Poles and Polish adher.
ents. 1t was presumed that such ar
address would be printed in all its
details, but when the text appeared III
the Universe it was with frequent
parenthetical phrases "Deleted by the
Censor" Even one of the appeals fol-
relief of Polish victims has fallen un.
der the ban and had to be withdrawn
Thus England is loyal to her Russian
ally, and the political status of Poland
is necessarily viewed in London from
the Anglo-Russian viewpoint. But the
actualities of the Polish people, the
havoc and distress among them, stand
out in startling magnitude nothwith.

NEGRO EMPLOYMENT
BUREAU PLANNED
Will Also Conduct Free Glasses

ing in Varick Zion Church.

a free employment bureau and manual
training and sewing classes for negroes
will be opened within a few weeks at the
Varlck Institutional Zion Church, 18th and
Catharine streets, by the Rev. sylvester
l.. Corrothers, the pastor. The institute
is the elimination of plans laid more than
a year ago.
The founder of the organization de-
clares that il Is useless to bring the
young men of his race into the church
from the poolrooms and saloons unless
work can be obtained for them. Accord
ingly he has fitted up the basement rooms
of the temple for the classrooms.
A class for teachers of Bible classes
also Will be formed at the institute. AS
soon as young men and women OF the
congregation are graduated from this
course they will establish Bible classes
i'm various parts of the city
The plans include the formation of a
uniformed corps of workers to do
emergency laboring and cleaning. The
idea of this is to do away with petty
thefts from househOlders who hire men
TO put out ashes and clean yards and
cellars. Men to do this kind of work
will be provided by the Employment
Bureau of Varlcll Institute, which VIII
guarantee the householders against loss
Neat green uniforms will he provided.
Several of the downtown real estate
dealers have agreed to turn over to the
bureau all the work of cleaning vacant
houses Men In this corps of emergency
workers will be taught trades in the
manual training department while they
are not at work.
THE condition of the negro in Phila-
delphia," said Mr.. Corrothers today, lis
deplorable. Hundreds of our young men'
especially those from the South, never
look for work and others who really
want employment find IL hard to obtain.
There is no central organization in this
city to provide jobs for them, and the
