THE glory of Poland's past and
the hope of her future are Cracow
and Lemberg, for 1t was the former
that was her capital in the yesterday
of history and the latter that is her
capital today and which would be her
capital tomorrow were Polish dreams
to come true. In Cracow, the great
city OF Poland's past, the royal palace
still stands; but It is used as a bar
racks and not as the home OF a king.
The cathedral is now the Valhalla of
its departed greatness; for there sleep
the kings and the heroes from the
Jagellons to Kosciuszko. Not far
away is the Kosciuszkoberg, one Of
the most remarkable memorials ever
reared by the hand OF mana huge
mound OF earth brought by loyal Poles
from every battlefield in the world
consecrated with Polish blood.

OR months war dispatches from
Galicia-where vast armies
have swayed back and forth,
locked in one of the outstand-
ing, titanic struggles of history
to decide the fate Of empires and Of
two mighty races-have gripped the
popular attention more than the news
from any other battle theater. On Ga
licia's fields during the past few months
have been done such feats at arms
as the modern world could not have
dreamed Of; the strength of great
Russia swept over this Austrian
crownland. driving its powerful ar
mics over the plain in the North, over
the central hills, up the southern
slopes Of the ragged Carpathians, on
their lofty, icy crests, beyond these
crests, and hovered over the fertile
prairie land of Hungary.
Here the wave spent its to then ir-
resistible force, and upon the dreary
mountain rocks, above the clouds,
amid the ice and snow and chill cold
of early spring, the flower of Russian
and Austro-German strength began
rolling backward toward the north,
still locked in continuous, grinding
battle, until the foothills were left be-
hind and the terrific contest surged
in the direction of Lemberg and the
northern plain. The nature of this
war theater that has beheld among
earth's sternest, most bitter scenes is
intimately described by William Jo-
seph Showalter in a statement pre-
pared for the National Geographic So
ciety. This writer says:
DenseIy Populated Land.
Austrian Poland is practically en-
braced by the crownland of Galicia.
This crownland is almost exactly the
size of the state of South Carolina,
but 1t has population six times as
great. If continental United States,
exclusive of Alaska, were as densely
populated as Galicia we would boast
of . population four times as great as
that Of Russia. And yet Galicia is
the poorest Of all the provinces OF
Austria. It lies outside the ramparts
of the Carpathians, which rob it of the
warm winds that otherwise would

father, whose address she did not

through which the missive was for
warded. Never word from the father

to the city where the bank was To-
Gated. She implored it's officer to give
her the address of her father. He re-
fused, but offered to forward a letter.
She wrote all of her sad story and
besought her father to take her away
from her heartbreak and loneliness.
She remained sequestered in the
hotel, where she awaited reply. A
weary month went by. She broke
