and the court held In denying the pc.
tition that the applicant had not re.
sided In the United States for Ave
years continuously Immediately pre-
ceding the fllins Of his petition, az
required by law, and also that the
declaration of his intention to become

ed by his act in returning to Greece,

true faith and devotion. never to
abandon nor to allow myself to be
separated from the flag. to observe
with exactitude the military laws and
regulations, and to comport myself
generally as a faithful and honorable
soldier
This oath of allegiance is regarded by
the courts as further evidence of the
fact that the intention Of the applicant

to reside permanently in the United
States has become altered. While This

Question Of Poland
This is not the time to set forth
the program for the arnelioration Of
the international life of Russia in time
of peace, which will be realized with
your assistance but I should like to
touch upon one question, that of Po-
land, which cannot evidently be real
lied in full until after the war.
In these days the Polish people
should know that their organization
was definitely and irrevocably decided
upon by the manifesto of the grand
duke, the commander-in-chief Of the
army, at the outbreak of the war.
The Polish people, chivalrous, noble
and faithful, deserve unlimited SYM
pathy and respect The Emperor has
charged me to declare to you that His
Majesty has ordered the cabinet to
elaborate bills granting Poland, after
the war, the right to organize freely
its national. social and economic life
on a basis of autonomy under the
sceptre Of the Emperor Of Russia.
Together with the Poles. the other ma.
tionalities of our great and immense Rus
sia have exhibited friendliness to the
mother country. Accordingly our home
policy should be permeated by the prin-
ciple Of impartial and benevolence for
all faithful Russian citizens, without re-
gard to distinction Of nationality, creed
or tongle.'
The war minister. NJ. Polivanof, said
"At this moment the enemy is concen-
trating enormous forces against Russia
and is successfully enveloping the terri
tory and military districts of Warsaw.
the strategic contour of which has al
ways been the weak point of our western
frontier.
"Under the circumstances re shall per.
hApe yield to the enemy portion of this
region. falling back on positions where
our army will prepare for resumption
Of the offensive.
"All's we'll that ends we'll; 1872 was
proof Of that. We shall today perhaps
give up Warsaw, as then we gave up
Moscow. in order to insure a final VIC
tory"
