"Polacos:
FL antique regimen politico de Russia, fuente de

FL antique Poder os hizo hipocritas promesas
de libertad, que no guerra cumplr y que nunca

yerros, pudieron ocupar y devastar vuestro pals.
Con Ell exclusive objeto de que lucharais contra
Russia y sus aliados, os dieron unos derechos ilu-
sorios, y a esta costa quisieron comprar la san
gre del pueblo polaco, que nunca lucho en- ia
vor del despotismo.
Actualmente, tampoco ira ningun ejercito po-
laco a combatir por una causa de OPPRESSION, de
desmembracion de su patria y al mando de un
enemigo hereditario.
Russia lbre os llama a las filas para combatir
con el pueblo, a fin de que obtengamos la liber-
tad plena de este.

la creacion del Estado polaco independents, for
mado con todos aquellos territories cuya pobla-
cion es polaca, como brenda de una pas duraLera
para la futura Europa.
Afecto a Russia por una union militar, el Esta-
do polaco sera un solido baluarte contra la pre-
sion de las potencias centrales sobre las naciones

MORE SLEEP AND LESS
DRINK CAMPAIGN Is STARTED

NEWPORT, R. l., March ia cam
paign for more sleep and less drink
among the society debutantes at this
fashionable resort was sponsored here
today by Mrs. Joseph NJ. Gazzam, of
Philadelphia.
Bishop Rhinelander is expected to
call a meeting soon to further the
idea, and he is backed in this by Bish-
O. Garland and Dr. Floyd W Tomp-
kius.
Mrs. Gazzam feels there is entirely
too much wine-drinking among young
girls during their first season in Sc
ciety. She also condemns the dance
ti'l-jawn and late supper idea.
These practices, Mrs. Gazzam main
tsins. are apt to undermine the girls
kealth. and the example set Is likely
to lead to emulation on the part OF
ether young girls all over the couu-
try.
This is a time, Mrs. Gazzam feels
when all that is good in our physical
end mental makeup should be foster
ed as both men and women are likely
&c be called at any moment to help
defend the country and need all the
strength they can develop.
