TEUTONTC ALLIES FACE
BREAK OVER POLAND
Austrian Deputies Demand Old
Kingdom Be Restored
German Press Hostile

ZURICH, Aug. 1.-THE conquest of
Poland seems likely to prove an apple
OF dscord between Germany and Aus
tria.
Grand Duke Nicholass proclamation
when the war began, that after victory
the three Polands-Russian, German and
Austrlan-would again form united au-
tonomous kingdom, was solemnly promul-
gated by the Gear at the opening Of the
Duma. When the Germans entered War
saw, the Kaiser made vague proclama-
tion. promising autonomy under German
tutclage
Now the Polish Union, formed of Polish
Deputies to the Austrian Reichsrath, are
up in arms at the idea OF any Power
ether than Austria taking over the Polish
heritage. As the Polish population in
Austria is. more numerous than the rul-
ing German population, it's protest can
not be ignored. This is one reason why
Baron Won Burlan left post haste for
Berlin Any lll-consldered or tactless
proclamation by Germany might have dis
astrous political consequences in Austria.
Rut there Is little indication that Ger
many intends to have much regard for
Austrian or Polish sentiment, or to allow
any but German interests to carry
weight.
The Frankfurter zeitung, under Gov
ernment inspiration, states the case for
Germany today with brutal frankness.
zone must not forget" 1t writes, "that
Poland did not free herself, but that a
German army captured Warsaw, the city
chosen by the Poles for their capital
There is no doubt that the Poles desire
the union of the Polish kingdom with
Germany resurrected How far this de-
sire is shared by German statesmen we
do not know, but Won Bethmann- Hollwes
is certainly convinced that just as we
cannot assure the freedom of the seas by |
treaties and conventions neither can we |
settle the Polish problem by the recipe |
OF Polish leaders in the Austrian Reichs- |
rath We certainly did not make war and |
the terrible sacrifices entailed for nothing, |
and the Kosciusko sentiment is finished
for good.
we will in this matter be guided ex-
'lusively by our own interests and Will
take such guarantees as will assure our
