FOOLISH POLAND rs
THINKING OF KINGS

Amsterdam, Dec 26.-In an inter-
view In the Vossische Zeitung OF Ber-
lin. concerning the selection OF lead
er for the new kingdom of Poland,
Professor KucharzevsN, the Polish
premier. says:
There is a strong leaning among
certain classes for what might be
called an Austro-Polish solution of
the question. especially as the Poles
are almost unanimous in the opinion
that no member of the Polish nobility
should be chosen as king.
Emperor Charles commands strong
personal sympathies in Poland and
there are many advocates Of the plan
Of having the emperor named king 0;
the country. On the other hand there
are many thoughtful Poles who would
prefer an independent Polish kingdom
with an Austrian archduke on tns
throne.
