GOVERNMENT SET UP
QUICKLY BY GERMANS

eral Won Beseler had been appointed
governor general, not only OF the
city but of the district Comprising
seventy square kilometers. Like Won
Kissing. OF Belgium, he is in the SUI
preme authority, with powers infinite
" greater than the emperor pos
sesses In relation to Germany. I'm
ger Won Beseler stand General Won
i Etzdorn as governor OF the city OF
warsaw and military chief. and his
excellency. Kries. as administrative
chief In charge OF all civilian matters.
Under them stands Police President
Won Glasenapp, former police presi-
dent OF Cologne, who exerts both mil
ttary and civil authority, the first
under the direction of Won Etzdorff.
the second under Kries. Upon him
falls the burden OF detail work, the
practical administration OF the city
and Its suburbs. His frat aide is
Mayor Sahm, former mayor OF the
city Of Bochum, an expert In admins
tstrntive matters. In addition there
are. In the police department, any
number Of men who are experts in
their particular lines and who head

The Germans found, on taking
Warsaw. Citizens committee" OF
Poles and Jews. headed by Prince
LubomisslSl, into whose hands the
Russians had confldsd the welfare OF
the city. This committee was allay-
ing as best II could the needs OF the
people in charitable ways. and
wrestling with the food problem.

fetal recognition to the committee
and prepared to work hand in hand
with 1t. But one subcommittee, that
In charge Of the coal problem, has
been disbanded. Prince Lubomirisle
occupies a sort OF dual position. He
Is. first. the native mayor. and Sec
ondly the committee head in the work
for charity and food supplies.
Not only Warsaw city. but the dis
trict OF Warsaw and that OF Radzy-
min adjoining. to the northeast, are
subject to the police rules and regu-
lations.
The branch departments OF the.
praesidium include a bureau OF COM
munal affairs OF the district exclusive
OF Warsaw; bread and -four depart
ment; a complaint department where
for instance, citizens lodge COM
plants against bakers: customs Of
flee; a veterinary department, which
has had an enormous task in Kidding
the city Of mad dogs: a censorship
bureau, which passes on all plays and
films: 4 pass division, which issues
credentials to the residents OF the
district; an employment bureau, and
a division which assists the wives Of
former German residents OF Warsaw
4 who are informed in Siberia and else
where.
Y For the first time in approximately
one hundred years, the Poles are
now permitted to produce their ma
tive-and anti-Russian-plays. War;
saw today has six tbeaters, including
an opera house, running full blast.
Each Is packed to the doors night af-
ter night. partly with German Of
ficers and soldiers, for the most part
with Poles.
BY all means the most popular pro-
duction is play purporting to show
the cruelties attending the domina-
tion OF Poland by the Russians. 1t Is
historically old, but never has been
allowed before.
In the opera house some Of the
more popular operas as well as q
number of purely Polish productions
are given. There is q really excellent
orchestra and, especially, a number
of first rate dancers. BY all odds
the favorite opera is Carmen, which
Is given two and sometimes three
times week
4 The stage setting and stage man
agement of each and every theatrical
or musical production seems to give
evidence Of a very elemental and I'M
developed taste.
