Copenhagen. Aug. 3L-The Taeg-

version of the reason for the retire
ment of the Polish council Of state.
saving that instead Of resigning it was
dissolved because it veutured to pre-
sent an ultimatum to the German gov
eminent on military questions Ihe
retirement Of the council has brought
out the fact that al the confidential
session of the reichstag main commit
tee on Monday the majority parties de-
mauded the establishment OF really
representative assembly and a respon-
sibie ministry i'm Poland step which
the Rundschau declares would lead to
an immediate demand for the with
draWal Of Germans from Poland.
Pan-Germans Fight Poles.
The Dan-Cerman news apers have
begun campaign for abandonment Of
the idea of a Polish kingdom. arguing
that the retirement OF the council gives
a favorable opportunity to undo the
mistakes made in procIaiming estab-
Hsbmant of the kingdom and since
that time Newspapers of all shades
Of opinion agree that there IS little
friendship for Germany among the
Polish population. and that the Poles
who at the time the kingdom was pro
claimed, were ready to cast their lot
actively on the side of the central
powers and who never constituted
more than minority. are steadily
losing influence and prestige.
People Anti-German.
The pan-German organs now declare
that the bulk of the population is So
avowedly anti-German that some SO
luton other than the creation of a
semi-independent kingdom must be
sought.
A certain section of the Poles is
again advocating a kingdom in close
association or union with the Haps-
burg monarchy
