Germany and Austria Hungary by joint action pro claimed Warsaw and Lublin the king dom of Poland and re-established the right of the Polish nation to control it's own destinies to live an indpendent na- tiOnal life, and to govern itself by chosen representatives of the nation.
 "A few days ago a Polish delegation had called upon the imperial chan cellor. Dr. von Bethmann- Hollweg. It's members were representative Poles of all classes, all parties all ranks of society and all creeds. They transmit ted to the German government, the wishes of the Polish nation which now believes granted to them.
 Thus the ancient Kingdom of Poland from which in the past came famous rulers like the von Jagellones Ca dy- 1 nasty founded by Jagello which reigned in Poland from 1888 to 1577) and glor- 1 ious soldiers like the great Sobieski ] John III, king of Poland in 1874 | l696), is now Tesurrected. The Poles are free from Russian oppression, no i more to be trodden under the heels of 1 the Cossack. The liberty that had been l destroyed a century ago on Russian instigation, now is restored. The rule of the knout has been abolished. Po- 1 land has been given back to western ! civilization"
