One reads a good deal about Poland
these days. but how much do We really
know of that historic land. the scene
Of turbulent agitation for centuries? In
Munseys Magazine for March, just out.
there is an Illuminating contribution on
the subject by Frederic Austin OGg, In
which We learn. for one thing. that 800
years ago, when Prussia, Austria. and
Russia were more or less embryonic
states, Poland was an independent and
proud republic. There are seveh maps
printed in colors to show TIE various
stages through which this much-fought-
over nation has passed, AMI thrty-two
illustrations, chiefly views from War
saw and Cracow. some o: which Will be

papers which declared that England
was in an impossible position and that
an immediate peace was necessary to
prevent one of the greatest tragedies
in history. 1t was my task now to
prove to them that they were right.
1t was May 2 when found myself
back at the Maplin sands, to the north
of the estuary of the Thames. The
Beta was sent on to the Solent to block
it and take the place of the lamented
Kappa. And now | was throttling
Britain indeed. London, Southamp-
ton, the Bristol channel, Liverpool, the
es-each was guarded by my boats.
Great liners were, as we learned after
ward. pouring their supplies into Gal
way and the west of Ireland, where
provisions were cheaper than had ever
been known. Tens of thousands were
embarking from Britain for Ireland In
order to save themselves from starva-
ton. But you cannot transplant
whole dense population. The main
body of the people by the middle of
May was actually starving. At that
date wheat was at 100, maize and bar
ley at so. Even the most obstinate
had begun to see that the situation
could not possibly continue.
In the great towns starving crowds
clamOred for bread before the munich
pal Offices, and public officials every
where were attacked and often MUIR
dered by frantic mobs, composed large
~ of desperate women who had seen
their infants perish before their eyes,
In the country roots, bark and weeds
of every sort were used as food. In
London the private mansions of min
listers were guarded by strong pickets
of soldiers, while battalion of guards
was camped permanently round the
houses Of parliament. The lives of the
prime minister and of the foreign sec
rotary were continually threatened and
occasionally attempted. Yet the gov
eminent had entered upon the war
with the full assent Of every party in
Tic oIdtc. NE true tuiijIltS were
those, be they politicians or journalists,
who had not the foresight to under
stand that unless Britain grew her
own supplies or unless by means of
tunnel she had some way of convey
ing them into the island all her mighty
expenditure upon her army and her
feet was a mere waste of money so
long as her antagonist had a few sub
marines and men who could use them.
England has often been stupid, but has
got off scot free.
Thisstime she was stupid and had to
pay the price. You can't expect luck
