Free Poland Plan
Of Council Here
National Bodies to Draft
Their Ideas for Recreation
of Independent State

WASHINGTON. Aug. 12.-Officers Of
the National Polish Council and other
national Polish bodies in the United
States are arranging for conference
in New York or Washington early IN
September to state officially the asplra-
tions of the Poles in the United States
for the recreation Of united and IN
dependent Poland.
They deem it wise to make plain TO
TIE world the sympathy and support
the Poles in the United States have
given TO President Wilson in his decla-
ration Of January %, 1917, for the
establishment Of free Poland.
They believe that because OF the
many conferences - labor, socialistlc
and governmental in Europe a restate-
ment of the aims of the war is inevlta-
Bile. They hold, therefore, that for
nal declaration such as they have IN
mind not only will inform the Polish
groups in Europe as to the stand of the
Poles in America, but also will be Of
value for presentation TO the repre-
sentatives Of the Allies.
The leaders agree, too, that the con-
ference and the statement OF their
aims will prevent any temporary cloud
ing CT the Polish issue or any failure
to understand the attitude of Poles.
Permission will be requested Of the
Department Of State to forward the
memorial to the Polish centre in Paris
for the European group. 1t is hoped
also that the document may be pre-
sented TO the representatives OF tho
Allies. The recent speech of Ambas-
sador Bakhmetieff, al the Kosciusko
Monument in Chicago, when he pledged
the new Russian government to auton-
oIny for Poland, will be transmitted
with the other documents.
The resolution will lay emphasis on
the necessity of the recreation OF Po-
land. not so much as a mere act OF JUS
tica to a people VINO have been de
barred for l25 years from the political
map of Europe, but as a matter OF self
preservation for the countries which
want an enduring peace.
Because of the great mineral wealth
OF Poland, the vastness of its natural
resources, it will be pointed out also
that once freedom is granted and once
the work of rehabilitation is completed
the Polish people will hold their own
among the nations. The value of new
Poland as strong barrier between the
Central Powers and Russia also will be
argued
The foreign commitments TO the in
dependence of Poland are so numerous
that there is no fear Of the loss of the
issue. There is a feeling, however,
that portions of the reconstruction pro-
gramme may be eliminated, and 1t is
20 prevent this that the conference will
be held.

Veterans Insist on
Marching Once More

BOSTON. Aug. 12.-The Grand Army
of the Republic, mastering again in war
time, plans to make showing during
its fifty-frst annual encampment, Wnlcn
begins here August 10, which shall
demonstrate by numbers and spirit the
fulness OF its support Of the young
men now about to shoulder the nation 5
arms. Department Commander Danlei
Denny, Of Worcester, said to-day that
advices received from the forty-four
departments in the country indicated
that all would be represented.
Year by year the attendance at the
annual encampments has been falling
off, but this year will mark snap
back in numbers, and a reylvlhed spirit,
in the opinion of Commander Denny,
based on reports from the several de-
partments now at hand. Instead OF the
5000 men who were in line at Kansas
City last year, from 5000 to 10000 are
expected.
The spirit of the veterans was shown
when, after suggestions from various
sldes that their parade be omitted TINS
year because of expense and because
they were getting too old to march,
they decided after informal cores
pondence that they wanted to step out
again.
Although the convention sessions
will not begin until August %, the en-
campment will be opened with a re-
likious service at the new Old South
Church next Sunday, when Past Com
mander in Chief James Tanner will de-
liver the address.
Commander Denny. it is understood,
will not be a candidate for reelection.
His successor probably will be Orlan-
do A. Somers, Of Indiana.

Reichstag force statement from the
government concerning its peace aims !,
The official party organ, "Germania'
after declaring in a previous artlcIe
that the Centre and the government
were agreed that the change IN the
system should 90 no further, now
points out to the Conservatives that
the independence OF the Emperor and
the government is in no wise affected
under the new arrangement, but that
this, on the contrary, erects a sharp
wall Of demarkation against that form
of parliamentary regime under Nnlch
the executive is dependent upon ParIla-
ment.
The agreement that three subor-
dinates, 20 be selected by Chancellor
Michaels from the Parliamentary
ranks, are TO renounce their seats IN
the Reichstag means, according to the
"Germania," that the relations between
the individual parties and their sympa-
thizers in executive positions are de-
prived of all official character and are
based only in accordance with general
views, without either side being respon-
sibe for the attitude of the other.
"The parliamentarizing movement is
undoubtedly weakened thereby says
"Germania," referring to DR.. Spahn's
renunciation of his seat.
