venture was worth while because even

What the situation is to-day ! do not

people in Germany with whom ! talked,
now that recruiting IN Poland was
failure. and now that Germany was be
coming more and more in need of fresh
troops, that conscription would be in

privately, in order that the army OF

staff counted upon could be created.
When / was in Poland last fall there
was no installing the fact that the
Poles were bitter against the Gar.
While they suspected and hated the
Germans they felt, nevertheless, that
they would be better treated by Ger
many than by Russia. This situation
must have changed The Poles did not
fear Russia; they feared the Gar and
the old imperial regime. These Poles,
as much as the German people, need a

The Chancellor could only announce
that that section of Poland which was

kingdom Of Poland and that tho Of

at final world peace negotiations.
Because the German General Staff
was looking forward TO the time when

German army the German government
had TO perfect as soon as possible all

number of Poles to make the proposed

That was Germany's real purpose in
announcing that she was about to free

and the General Staff had estimated
that 100000 men could be recruited
in Poland. ... ....- .l.
To win the Polish people the first
thing Germany did was to issue new
