DENIES POLISH FUNDS
WILL ASSIST GERMANY
Money Raised in United States to
Protect Province against Any
Foe," Says Kulakowski.

| COPENHAGEN, May II. via London,
May 1S.-According to the Vossische
| Zeitung Of Berlin. the Polish council
| Of state Is expending fve-sixths OF the
| tee of American Poles for airplane
service for the new Polish army which
| is being recruited for the central pow
| ers. The newspaper says this gift was
forwarded through Count Tarnowski
Won Tarnow, who went to Washington
| as AustrosHungarian ambassador. but
| returned home without presenting his
| credentials. owing to the severance of
| relations between Austria-Hungarn and
| the United States. It is said this dis
| position of the money represents the
! express wish Of the contributors, and
i that the remaining sixth Will be ex-
| pended to relieve the sufferings of the
Polish population of Poland and Cali
| cia.
| NEW YORK, May 1S.-Denial OF a story
| published in the Berlin vossische Zeitung
| that fund collected by a Polish organf-
| zatfon in America was being expended for
central powers was made here by Bronis-
law d. Kulakowski. a member OF the
executive committee Of the Polish ma
tional defense committee.
Mr.. Kulakowski said that 100000, raised
| in America by his committee, was sent
to its representative in Poland for the
Polish army, which aims to protect "the
| Independence and Integrity OF Poland
against any zoe.
The Polish airplane service, he declared,
was organized to fight only for Poland, in
his country's struggle for national liberty,
and 1t would not be employed either by
Germany or by the new Russian govern
ment.
The situation in Poland has become
delicate. in connection with American
funds, Kulakowski said. owing to the fact
that both Germans and Austrians are in
control Of part Of the country, with Ger
| many, but not Austria, at war with the
United States. Because Of this. he an
nounced, the collection here OF funds for
the Polish army has been discontinued; /;
but money is being raised with which an
educational campaign is to be started to
inform Americans OF Polish conditions.
CHICAGO, May 1s.-Leaders among
| the Polish residents of Chicago say that
| it was a matter of common knowledge
| last winter that money was being col
| lected by Poles here in sympathy with
| the central powers to aid in equipping
| a Polish legion, and that part of the
funds were to go for the relief Of war
sufferers in Poland. 1t was asserted
| that only small proportion Of the Poles
| in Chicago were in sympathy with Ger
| many and Austria Collection of funds
was said to have stopped when the
United States entered the war.
| Efforts to locate members Of the or
ganization which was said to have
charge of raising the funds failed.

KAISER AND THE CAR
Moscow Paper Alleges Secret Pact
Whereby Russia and Germany
Menaced France.

By the Associated Press.
PARIS. May 18. $40 ANA long ac-
count Of a secret pact between the
kaiser and Emperor Nicholas and aim
ed against France is given in the last
issue of the Moscow Russkoye Slovo to
reach Paris. According to the story,
the existence OF the treaty was discov-
cred by Count Witte in 1905, while the
peace negotiations between Russia and
Japan were proceeding at Portsmouth.
Count Witte, furious at the deception
of the czar. informed the kaiser that
unless the pact was cancelled he would
refuse to countersign the treaty Of
Portsmouth. AS German bankers were
interested In a loan to Russia this
would hit them hard. and. the story
his economic policy the kaiser yielded.
Neither emperor. however, ever forgave
Count Witte.
At the beginning of the war Count
Witte communicated tho facts to B.
Glinsky, editor Of the Messenger His
torique. He bound the editor to keep
the Information secret until he. Count
Witte, was dead and circumstances
warranted the revelation Of Nicholas

LAUDs SENATOR BoRAH.
Representative Smith Calls His Pro.
posed Retirement a Calamity,

TWIN FALLS, Idaho. May 1s.-That
Senator W. E. Borah's retirement from
the United States Senate at the close of
his present term would be little short of
a national calamity was the substance
Of an interview given out by Repre-
sentative Addison T. Smith, who is here
on account of the illness of his son,
Hugh F. Smith. Mr.. Smith said:
"If Senator Borah adheres to his plan
to retire at the expiration of his term
the state of Idaho and the nation will
lose the services of one of the ablest
and most influential members Of Con-
gress. He has for a number of years
been recognized as the best debater in
the Senate, and the fact that he was
placed on the most important commit
tees at the beginning of his second term
is conclusive proof that his great abil-
ity is appreciated by his colleagues.
While Senator Borah has made great
sacrifices already. 1t is hoped that he
may feel that the interest of his coun-
try In these years of turmoil and un-
certainty as to the future is entitled to
first claim on his time and great intel
lect."

morrow Western. Central and Tech
men, all their best performers being
entered. They leave here tomorrow
morning in time to catch boat which
leaves Baltimore at $3.50 am.
Technical and Central particularly
have two OF three men each who should
do excellent work. Mcnamara and
Sheehan of Technical are good enough
to show we'll against any scholastic
runners in the section. Latta, Mclean
and Connors of Central are capable,
and Alexander and Hout of Western
are not poor performers by any means.
Here are the entries made by the To-
cal schools:

$50 run.
Latta of Central and Sheehan of Tech
are entered to run in the SSQ-yard race
at Tome tomorrow, and if they are at
their best both men should put up a
fine performance. In fact, the race be-
tween them will be the most interest
ing part of the meet, as far as Wash
ington track followers are concerned.
Tome has entrants from other schools
who are sure to cut quite a figure in
the scoring, and it may be that neither
Sheehan nor Latta will win the $50.
That will not detract in the least.
