GERMAN EFFORT TO

Polish Council of State Re-

Copenhagen, Aug. 30,--Thc
Berlin Lokal Anzeiger reports
that the entire Polish council OF
state has resigned. The great
underlying cause responsible for
the councils decision 10
abandon It's attempt to organize
government under the pro-
posed German protcctoratc is
the change in the Polish atti-
tudc resulting from the Russian
revolution, according 10 the
newspaper.
The direct reasons TO be
sought, however, are in the
great hesitation and delay Of
the Austro German powers in
entrusting TO the Polish au-
thorities the authority over the
Polish army, which the Germans
wish to incorporate in their own
forces, and the German deter
mination TO exclude Lithuania
from the new kingdom. The
Poles insist that the kingdom
