POLAND IS BETTER OFF
UNDER KAISER, He SAYS
DR.. Karl Helfferich Praises Work of
Germans in Conquered
Territory.

BERLIN, July -. by wireless to Say
the work done in Russian Poland by
the Germans during the period of oc-
cupation was given by DIR. Karl Helf-
ferich. secretary of the interior and
imperial vice chancellor. today, on
his return from visit to that country.
Dr. Helfferich. who recounted the i'm
pressions of his visit to a member of
the Overseas News Agency staff. con-
trasted the condition of the country
under Russian rule with the state of
affairs there today. In the time of
peace before the outbreak of the pres
ent war the Russians had neglected
the country. said DR.. Helfferich. Then
came the period of hostilities. which
had devastated the land. Under these
conditions the Germans took up their
work. which the vice chancellor insist
ed has been accomplished with a sue
cess which could find few parallels in
history.
Towns Burned; Crops Destroyed.
The retreating Russians, DR.. Helf-
ferich pointed out. had burned villages
and towns and destroyed the harvests.
The Germans first built roads through
the devastated territory and supplied
cattle and seeds to the inhabitants,
with the result now one frequently
could see herds of a hundred or more
cattle. while fields of standing grain
were on all sides. He cited an instance
of aid given the inhabitants by the
Germans. the farmers of one district
being left the horses of two regiments
for field work on orders given by Gen.
Ludendorn.
DR.. Helfferich said he fould schools
everywhere now, even at places where
none was maintained when the Rus
SLAMS ruled the country.
All Nationalities Equal.
The University of Warsaw, where
lectures were given in. the Polish
tongue, had a large number of stu
dents.
All nationalities. DIR. Helfferich said,
were given equal recognition with the
White Russians and Lithuanians. Ter
ible suffering existed among the Jews
when the Germans arrived. the vice
chancellor declared, and in most towns
they had been excluded from the schools
by the Russians. The Germans, he add
ed. introduced self government in the
country for the first time, and admitted
Jewish representatives to the govern
mental bodies.

Request of Virginia Authorities.
The adjutant general of Virginia
asked for authority to send the troops
to Camp Ordway. Brig. Gen. William
E. Harvey, commanding the camp; Maj.
Fenton, commanding the post at. Fort
Myer; Capt. H. P. Hobbs. United States
mastering officer, and Capt. Il. M.
Nevils, Quartermaster Corps. were IN
conference this morning on this re-
quest. AS result, it was learned, the
adjutant general will be Informed that
his troops may be sent forward Just
as soon as the District men leave.
When that will be no one at camp
seems to know. An officer high in the
camp administration said today he ex-
pected to see the Sd Infantry out of
camp by next Tuesday night at the lat
est He pointed to the fact that re-
cruits are coming in rapidly, and said
that way must be made for the Nir-
ginia units. They will use the camp
site now occupied by the Sd Infantry.
Recruiting Delays Departure
The troops, under existing orders,
must be held until the regiment is re-
cruited to minimum strength and fully
equipped. The question of recruiting
is the main one, as the organizations
are not suffering from the lack of
equipment. A new supply arrived to-
day. and organization commanders
were instructed by brigade headquar-
ters to prepare acquisitions for their
men.
The fact that such a large force of
Virginia troops is coming to Camp
Ordway is taken by the officers here
TO indicate that the District troops Will
have to make an early movement. At
the very least, it indicates to them
that they will leave camp, for there
will be no room for the Virginia men
unless the District soldiers go to the
front.

Prospects of an early departure from

brighter today for the infantry than
at any other time since the excitement

The morning reports showed that yes
terday was the first time that there

were greater than the number of dis

lacks some equipment. The men of

possible to make ready.
The equipment now is in the storage
sheds at the post at Fort Myer, and
plans are being made to issue it to
the cavalrymen this afternoon. If
every man is fitted out today the cav
