scene Sunday of a great and mome1-
tous historic event. Germany and
Austria Hungary by joint action pro-

itself by chosen representatives of the

The manifesto issued at Warsaw
and Lublin reads as follows:
His majesty the German emperor,
and his majesty the emperor, of
Austria and apostolic king Of Hun
gary, inspired by firm confidence in
a final victory of their arms and
prompted by a desire to lead the dis
tricts conquered by their armies un-

THE new kingdom will receive the
guarantees needed for the free de-

Polish armies and the memory OF the

of our days shall revive in a national
army The organization, instruction

their own countries and nations.
"The great realm which the western
neighbors Of the, Kingdom of Poland
shall have on their eastern frontier
shall be a, free and happy state enjoy
ing it's own national life, and they.
shall welcome with joy the birth and
prosperous development of this state"
The semi official Norddeutsche
Allgemeine Zeitung prints a leading
article entitled, Poland's Hour of Fate,
stating that "a hundred years ago as
the result OF the congress at Vienna
Poland's fate went into the hands OF
Russia, but that now Poland's freedom
is inseparably linked together with
victory of Germany and her allies"
Continuing the newspaper says:
Only the central powers have a vital
interest in the existence of q free
Poland. The Poles now are free from
Russia domination and have an op-
portunity to form a national state to
establish connections with the cenral
powers. and, protected by the rela.
tions, to promote their political and
economic life and develop their ma
tional civilization.
For these purposes during the near
future, the Poles will need our help.
Under Russian domination no Polish
administration, no Polish schools and
no Polish army were admitted, and the
Russians in their way tried to hinder
the development Of special bodies for
the working out Of these tasks. The
Russians neglected the construction Of
railways and waterways. Everywhere
a basis of public life and administra-
tion must be created out of nothing
and the reconstruction of a Polish ma
tional life has to proceed step by
step.> ..... 90 ..--.-t .,,.-..--. ....
ut wasn't the protectors of small
nations that restored Poland to its
own national evolution, but those two
powers against which the enemy ap-
pealed to the hatred by small nations
of the whole world. The western pow
ers showed only their sympathy for
Poland in word. Many times the cry
'yive Ia pologne' was shouted, in the
west, but real, obligations for Poland
were carefully avoided. Every time
the Poles entered into the struggle for
independence and hoped for help from
London to Paris it became evident
they had built up on empty words.
From that side liberty could not come
for Poland.
IF, today, different decision had
been reached in the war, il Russian
arms were victorious in the east
then for, another hundred years the
population Of Poland would have to
drag it's chains from promise to
promise without any protest on the
part of the western powers"
