fully. without uniting Galicia and the
Polish section Of Germany centred
about Posen. So the Kaiser made
overtures to Emperor Franz Josef, sug
costing that Galicia be coded by Aus
tria to the new kingdom. But the old
Emperor, who always was suspicious
OF the German Kaiser, replied when his
ministers made the proposal to him:
What! Those Prussians want to
take another pearl from my crown ?
Franz Josef Hindered Plans
Germany had intended originally to
establish the kingdom Of Poland al
early as July, 1916, but because OF op'
position to the plans by Emperor Franz
Josef and by the Poles OF Posen Ger
many was forced to postpone the an
nouncement until November. Even al
that time Germany did not get to an
nounce the kingdom she had expected
to create.
The Chancellor could only announce
that that section of Poland which was
occupied would be considered As the
kingdom OF Poland and that the Of
fetal boundaries would be determined
at final world peace negotiations.
Because the German General Stat!
was looking forward to the time when
1t could mobilize the unemployed OF
Poland and use them as units In the
German army the German government
had to perfect as soon as possible all
plans for the new kingdom In order to
at first get the backing of sufficient
number Of Poles to make the proposed
Polish army success.
That was Germany's real purpose In
announcing that she was about to free
the Poles. Germany needed soldiers,
and the General Staff had estimated
that 100000 men could be recruited
IN Poland.
To win the Polish people the first
thing Germany did was to issue new
passports so that each resident OF Po-
land became a Pole-no longer Rus
sian. Germany's second step was to
create a Polish Diet and Polish Min
istry. But Germany was careful to see
that not only during the war. but after
the war, che would have controlling
voice in all affairs Of Poland. It was
provided that majority Of the minis
try and the diet should be selected In
wawy which would guarantee bal
anceNof power to the German element.

WASHINGTON, d. c., Jan. 20
That recourse to congress is the
only method by which a complete
exchange Of automobile reciprocity
among the several states can be OBJ
tanned, has been made clear to the
American Automobile associations
legislative board in the recently an
nounced decision OF the United
States supreme court in what has
been known as the New Jersey test
case.
In conjunction with the National
Automobile chamber of commerce,
the owners organization undertook
legal procedure in New Jersey which
questioned the authority of that
commonwealth TO interfere with the
interstate journey OF a registered
New York motorist enroute to Penn
sylvania.
Justice Brandeis wrote the opin-
ion. which was unanimously con-
Cured in. though Justice Pitney
took no part in its consideration or
decision because he had passed up
on the case when a member of the
New Jersey court of errors and ap-
peals. AS in what was called the
Maryland case, reference was made
to the absence Of any federal statute
bearing on the subject: I'm the alb

ly prescribe uniform regulations

Acid should never be poured into
