German Poles LOYAL.
1t is the feeling of the German pop
ulauon OF German Poland that on the
whole the Poles have shown a very
good attitude towards the government
In this war and the continued evil
dences of that well disposed state of
mind please the Germans more than
a victory does. The best proof that
the Poles are loyal and the Germans
grateful lies in The fact that the arch
bishopric OF Posen is now filled for
the first time in twenty-one years
When the old archbishop died the ac-
tivities of the Catholic party In Ger
man Poland were of such nature
that the government determined not
to permit the filling of the vacant
post. For twenty-one years the work
OF the archdiocese has been done by
the auxiliary bishop, Likowski. sat

of the Polish clerics he was lately ele-

The loyalty of the people also finds
expression in minor ways-some OF
them the usual petty signs of chau-
vinism and some of them springing
from a general spirit of reconciliation
in a time of trouble. OF the latter ma
ture was the decision of a highly es-
the German controlled municipal the
ater Of Posen, where she had never
consented to act before, and of the
former is the refusal of the people 10

they think it is of English manufac-

While German soldiers are stream

sian soldiers are streaming in en- route
to the prison camps i'm the interior of
Germany. At the main railway sta
tion they were treated with undoubt-
ed consideration.
Feeding the Prisoners.
one sees them merchng down the
platform hugging the loaves of bread
which had been thrust into their
hands as they left the train. Under
one 1arm they carried their SOUP
bowls When they lined up In front of
the soup kettles and the bowls were
filled. most of the prisoners had lost
their spoons and had to drink the
SOUP from the bowls. When they had
finished the first bowl they stood be
fore the kettles, the hungry look stu
in their eyes but their minds uncer-
tain as whether it was fitting to ask
for more. German men and women
who were doing Red Cross work at
the station passed them and SAID
We'll. children, have you had

neither understand German nor make
themselves understood in Russian.
So there was no answer
A German army surgeon came that

filled the bowls again.

The work in the railway station is
very trying for the German women,
especially when it involves the care /
Of tn, German wounded. The hungry
eyes of the Russian prisoners touch
their hearts and the suffering OF thelI /
own people tears them The conse-
