IS NOT A DES0LATE LAND
Minera! and Agricultural Wealth of
Poland Has Been Underesti-
mated by the World.

The prevalent impression in the
West that the operations in Poland
have been conducted in wild and des-
olate country is curiously wide Of
the truth. Poland is now more
densely populated than any other
part of Russia, and the towns which
have figured in the recent dispatches
are centers of thriving industry.
Plotsk does a great trade in sugar,
like Lublin. Radon, now out Of
sound of the guns, has large tan
neries and distilleries. Kalisz,
through which a big German column
passed to relieve the pressure in the
center, is famous for lace and en-
hroideries. Every little town around
which the fighting has ragged has its
own mills, chiefly textile. Poland Is
rich in minerals, and its coal field
is of considerable extent. 1t is not
necessary to cross into Silesia to find
either factories or Germans engaged
in running them. If Russia could
have saved Poland from invasion, the
London Times, which notes the fore
going facts, is sure she would have
done so.
