more serious than it really IS.
Their attention is naturally, then.
directed towsrd the entente allies.
Inasmuch as the reconstruction OF
Poland has never been proclaimed as
one of the objects OF the war by those
seeking to establish order in Europe.
and inasmuch as the name Of Poland
has been omitted in citing the neces-
sity for the -reestablishment of the
smaller countries of Belgium SerVia-
Rumania and Montenegro, the. Poles
are entertaining serious misgivinss
as to what will be their ultimate fate
1t is hardly probable that the recent
communication OF the allied govern
ments TO the press on their exchange
of views with the provisional govern
ment of Russia with regard to Poland
has been able to penetrate to Warsaw
and produce the desired effect.
