The result of all this was a distinct
moral revolt against the German oc-

ises and measures. Voices openly de-
manded the immediate constitution of
a perfectly independent and free Po-
land within its historical frontiers,
which some did not hesitate to pro-
claim must comprise Lithuania as
well as Posen; and at a gathering held
at Cracow this demand was formally
put forward in the name of the entire

Washington, Sept. Price fixing
for meat and dairy products has no
place in the governments food con-
troll plans, Herbert Hoover, the Food
Administrator, yesterday told the ma
tional live stock conference. Not
only would it be inadvisabIe to insti-
tute price fixing in these industries,
he asserted, but the Food Administra-
ton has been given no such power.
AS long as there is a heavy demand
for meat with decreased produc-
ton, Mr.. Hoover said, meat prices
will continue to soar. The hope OF
the Food Administration is that it
can stabilize quotations and thus elm
mate speculation.
ssI cannot believe there is a pana-
cea for situation of this kind" SAID
Mr.. Hoover. "Our problem is to IN
crease production. The best we may
expect is slow development TOWARD

Vienna Reports That Germany Will Take One Tenth,
Leaving Lions Share to Austria, Which VIII
Unite It With Galicia

London. Sept. IA wireless Press
message from Zurich says that. ac-
cording to information received here
from Vienna. the Central Empires
have decided to abandon their project
with regard to the kingdom of Po-
: land as outlined in the joint procla-
nation of the two Emperors of Nov.
8, 1916 This change is due to the
complete failure of the efforts to In
.duce the Poles to raise a. Polish army
to fight for Germany and Austria.
BY way Of retaliation. Germany and
Austria have now resolved to carry
!. ont a new partitioning of Poland.
Germany will annex such parts of
Russian Poland as she needs to rec
tify her strategic frontier. This ter
rttory In extent will be about one
tenth Of Russian Poland. Austria
will annex the remaining nine-tenths.
Emperor Charles will then ,promu1-
gate decree uniting Austrian con-
quests in Russian Poland with Galicia
and proc1aiming the whole of the ter
ritory thus consolidated as the King
sdom of Poland He will also pro-
claim himself King of Poland and
will decree that the Polish crown
shall descend to his heirs in like
manner with the crowns OF. Austria
and Hungary.
This new Hapsburg Poland will
have its own government and its own
parliament, but Its foreign policy,
army and finances will be controlled
by the imperial government. Poland
relations with Austria and Hungary
will be Identical with the relations
already existing between Austria and
Hungary. The Dual Monarchy will
become Triple Monarchy.
One immediate effect of this change
win be to render all Poles liable for
military service in the army under
Austrian control. AT the same time.
by the removal from the Austrian
parliament of all deputies represent
ing Galicia. the numerical predoni-
nance OF the German parties in the
Austrian reichstag will be assured.
The recent announcement of the
resignation of the Polish State Conn

missions in German newspapers and
from other material available a
special correspondent of the Man
chester Guardian shows it to be much
worse than appears on the surface.
BY manifesto dated Nov. 5, 1916,
the two kaisers proclaimed the indie
pendence of the Polish State. Among
the reasons for the step was the de-
sire Of the two empires to raise a
Polish auxiliary army. Being unable
to do SO by force, they expected to
solve the problem by constituting Pc,
land an Independent and allied state
counting particularly on Polish feel
ing against the age-old enemy, the
Gar.
The German press is now admitting
that these calculations have not been
realized. Though but few weeks
before hundreds of thousands Of
Polish citizens paraded the streets of
Warsaw and Lublin in honor of the
Independent Polish State, the Kaiser
manifesto was received with battling
GOODNESS and even enmity; and, as for
volunteers Hooking by thousands to
join the colors of the new state, the
result was still more disappointing.
THE occupation authorities said
Speclai correspondent OF the frank
furter Zeitung on Aug. IT, wanted to
test the value of the Polish spirit of
revenge against Russia, and \esued
an appeal for the formation Of a
Polish army. 1t is true that they did
not expect anything, very great from
their appeal, but they certainly did
not expect that it would be boycotted
by ali the Polish parties"
To help the propaganda, a solemn
entry of Polish 1egions was arranged
in Warsaw, but though the excite
ment was great, nothing, tangible re-
suited from this plan.
THE entire country" the lettings
correspondent says, was covered
with a net of recruiting agents, but
only a few persons volunteered, and
in many cases, as the authorities
know definitely, the recruiting agents
themselves dissuaded the people from
enlisting''
In particular, the failure of the re-
cruiting campaign was due to the
absence of all confidence In the Aus

Not the least pleasing feature of "A
Daughter of the Gods" William Fox
81 100000 picture beautiful, featuring
Annette Kellermann, which is at the
Barre opera house tonight, is the APP
pearce of those charming child actresses
Jane and Katherine Lee. These famous
Fox stars, among the youngest of the
cinema world, win all hearts by their
marvellous acting and their sibple, unaf-
fected childish grace. But it does give
the spectator a start now and then to
see the risks they take.
The most hardened theatre-goer is
likely to emit gasp when, as little mer-
maids, they are washed about on the
rocks by giant waves that entirely en-
velope them. But these marvellous mites
are absolutely without fear and it is
comforting to know that many willing
hands are always within reach just of
of the range of the camera. They are
an effective foil to the marvellous work
of Annette Kellermann, the worlds
greatest swimmer and diver, in this re-
play.-adv.
