Warsaw and Lublin
Affected by Action

Berlin. Nov. 3 by wireless to Say
WILLIE Polish provinces occupied by
troops of the Central Powers" says the
Overseas News Agency, "were the scere
to-day Of great and momentous his
toric event. Germany and Austro-Hun-
gary by joint action proclaimed war
saw and Lublin the Kingdom of Poland
and reGstablished the right of the
Polish nation to control its own desti-
Lies, to live an Independent national
life and to govern itself by chosen rep
resentatives of the nation"
"a few days ago Polish delegation
had called upon the imperial Chancel-
lor. Dr. Won BethmannHollweg. Its
members were representative Poles OF
all classes, all parties, all ranks of So
ciety and all creeds. They transmitted
to the German government the wishes
of the Polish nation, which now have
been granted 70 them.
Thus the ancient Kingdom of Po-
land, from which in the past came
famous rulers like the Jagellones IA
dynasty founded by Jagello which
deigned in Poland from 1886 to 1872,
and glorious soldiers like the great So
bieski, John III, King Of Poland in
1674-l696), is now reborn.
"The Poles are free from Russian
aggression, no more to be trodden I'M
der the heels Of the Cossack. The lib
erty that had been destroyed a century
ago on Russian instigation now is re-
stored. The rule of the knout has been
abolished. Poland has been given back
to Western civilization"
Text or Manifesto
The manifesto establishing an indie
pendent state Of Poland with a heredi-
tary monarchy and a constitutional
government reads as follows:
"His majesty the German Emperor
and his majesty the Emperor of Aus
tria and Apostolic King of Hungary,
inspired by firm confidence in a final
victory of their arms and prompted by
a desire to lead toward a happy future
the districts conquered from Russian
domination by their armies under heavy
sacrifices, have agreed to form of these
districts national state with a hered-
itary monarchy and a constitutional
government. The exact frontiers Of
the Kingdom of Poland shall be out
lined later.
The morning newspapers to-day all
print the Polish proclamation promi-
nently, but abstain from comment on
it, only reproducing the editorial con-
corning the proclamation printed by
the "Norddeutsche Allgemeine lei
tung." The Post" in reproducing this
editorial apologies to it's readers be-
cause it is unable to express its own
views.
The general impression here over the
situation is one of satisfaction. There
have been no popular demonstrations.

fully. One word from Hughes could
have prevented the passage OF the
measure. as not one of the Republican
congressman who voted for It would
have done so if Hughes. the leader OF
the party. had said a word against H.
But Hughes remained as quiet as the
proverbial clam
President Wilson's diplomatic tactics
had gained as decisive victory over
Germany as could have been gained
by force of arms, the labor leader de-
clared. His Mexican policy had been
demonstrated to be the only humanl-
tartan course possible. The Mexicans
were no more TO blame for border
troubles than the Americans, Gompers
maintained.
Americans as Bandits
There have been more raids by or
ganized bands of Americans into MeXi-
can territory than there have been
Mexican raids into the United States,
he said. "The newspapers of the
United States do not publish accounts
Of these depredations. sec.
Mr.. Gompers denied the possibility
of his delivering" the labor vote TO
any candidate. .,
II have one vote under my control
and that's my own" he said. That's
going for Woodrow Wilson next Tues
day"
Frank Morrison, secretary OF the
Federation, appealed to the audience
on the ground that President wilson
had always stood by organized labor"
James O'Connell, second vice-presi-
dent of the Federation, defed any one,
anywhere to show one scratch OF pen
one written word-or one act that
would imply that the American Fedora
ton Of Labor had intimated that II
was empowered to turn the labor vote
over to any man"
William b. Wilson, Secretary OF
Labor, who was on the programme as
speaker, sent his regrets.

Henry Morgenthau. who handled the
purse strings of the Democratic cam
paign. completed his labors last night
by issuing statement, in which he
called upon voters Of all parties to sup
port President Wilson at the polls be
cause we are safe in the ark Of peace"
The argument of the former Ambassa-
dor to Turkey was based entirely on
the theory that the election of Mr..
Hughes would be followed by war. In
cidentally, he took fling at Colonel
Roosevelt. with the statement that the
European war had been brought about
by the military spirit that "permeates
Theodore Roosevelt now"
