SILVER EAGLE OF POLAND
TO FLY ON battlefield
National Flag Soon to Be Unfurled
on the French Front Along
With Other Allies.
Of the Associated Press.

Correspondence OF the Associated Press.
FRENCH FRONT IN FRANCE, Sep
TENDER 25.--A new national flag is shortly
to be unfolded or the French front-that
Of Poland. The silver eagle on maroon
field is to take its place beside the French
tri-color, the Stars and Stripes, the union
jack and the battle flags Of other allies,
and beneath its folds will fight Polish
volunteers from all parts Of the world.
including thousands from the United
States.
An autonomous Polish army is already
in course of organization on French soil
and it's ranks have been opened to Po-
fish citizens who have wandered abroad
in search of freedom from the oppres-
sion to which the Polish nation has so
long been subjected.
This force is to be entirely independent
of any other army. all its officers and
men being of Polish birth or descent.
The nucleus of the new army is COM
posed of Poles who have served in the
French army since the beginning of hos
tlities In Paris alone 500 enlisted at the
first call, while Toulouse furnished anoth-
er $50. Abbeville 200. Douri 800 and Mar
settle 100, besides many who joined in
other cities.
All grades OF society are represented
among these Polish volunteers. In the
ranks mobiles have fought side by side
with artisans, men from the liberal pro-
fessions, with farm laborers. and boys
not yet sixteen shoulder to shoulder with
gray-haired veterans of sixty.
Some of them have served in special
Polish companies of the Foreign Legion.
others were disposed among their French
comrades in line regiments. Everywhere
they have gained by their bravery
throughout the three years fighting the
appreciation of their chiefs. The Polish
volunteers have always been willing to
undertake the most onerous duties and
most perilous tasks. Losses in their
ranks appeared to have such a favorable
effect on recruiting that it was recently
decided to give the Poles an organiza-
ton of their own. ard all soldiers of Po-
fish nationality serving In France were
assembled in one camp in preparation
for the formation OF regular army units
Of all arms.
Much encouragement was given to the
| movement by reports from America that
Poles residing there had expressed their
willingness to Join the ranks OF the new
army, and 1t is hoped to obtain many re-
cruits from that source.

DEMANDS W|P|NG OUT
Of GERMAN WAR BAR0NS
United States and Allies Must Join
Against "vultures," Says Lord
Robert Cecil.

By the Associated Press.
LONDON, October 13.-DIscussing the
possibility of permanent peace after
the war Lord Robert Cecil. minister OF
blockade, told the Associated Press
that the United States. Great Britain
and France must find some way OF eX-
terminating the German war baron
class which finds war profitable busl-
ness and spends its peace time energy
in melting war.
THE central powers have been kept
in the war SO long" said Sir Robert.
mot merely by the German military
caste, but also by the classes who get
rich out of war-the vultures of COM
merce and industry. The military caste
of Germany we shall convince by force
of arms but the commercial vultures
we must attack In their pockets ana
teach them that war is not a profitable
business.
That Is partly the business of a
blockade, but blockade by Itself will
not do everything. We must go further
and cut off the overseas branches of
the war barons in the far east, South
America and elsewhere. The American
trading with the enemy act is admira-
bly, conceived for the purpose OF
cramping this business, but more must
still be done. These vultures cannot
carry on without relations outside of
Germany. The great source of their
power, has been their financial connec-
tons with neutrals. Without financial
connections they lose credit. and with
out credit they are done.
New York has enormous interna-
ttonal financial strength. SO has London
and so has Paris. 1 do not know ex-
actly how this power can be applied to
the question under consideration. but I
q
confined in those centers. Surely our
combined financial strength is sufficient
to smother the international vulturez

Units Already Formed.

Forty units were organized in France
from the Red Cross Volunteer Ambulance
Service fthe Norton Haries Ambulances)
and 120 units have been organized at
Allentown. Pa. This is known as the
United States Army Ambulance Corps
L. s. a. A. c.
In regard to how men in the ambu-
lance units are affected by the draft.
in response to the definite question. it
was stated at the office of the provost
marshal general officially. that IF the
ambulance unit Is a recognized branch
of the military service the men drawn
in the draft may file claims for exemp-
ton on the ground of being in the mill
tary service; if not. they are subject to
the draft"
1t was explained that If the men are
abroad when called by the draft for
the National Army, they may have
their physical examination before an
American CONSUL if they are excused
on this examination they may stay
with the ambulance unit: If they are
held for the draft they must return to
the United States at their own expense.
AS drafted men, they will not be al
lowed to enlist in the French army. but
are to go only with the National Army
Of the United States.

Dutch Get Assurances.

The Dutch do not claim that the Ger
mans should be permitted TO transport
material for this war concrete through
Dutch territory. but they say the Ger
mans have given them assurances that
lall this material is being employed N
strictly civil purposes. | have no doubt
that the Germans have given such assur-
Iances and there may. be some jusgle by
which they are able to submit paper
proof. But we have this fact: Enor-
NOUS quantities of concrete are being
used at the front and enormous quantl-
ties of concrete material Is going into
the war zone through Holland.
we made repeated diplomatic COM
plants, with no result, until we finally
decided, inasmuch as the Dutch have
no right to use our cables except as a
matter of courtesy, that we Should say
to the Dutch. We cannot see a way to
permit you the further use of our ca
bles until something is done about the

School Children and Soldiers Letters

To the Editor Of Tho Starr
To those who would send further
GOOD cheer to tho boys IN camp I sue-
eest that wherever practicable SOL
diers be adopted" by the public schools
to tho extent Of sending each ono a
weekly letter SO long as the war lasts.
Pupils would doubtless prefer such
learning to doing book lessons In
composition. spelling. writing and
grammar. and teachers in grading such
matters in the letters are very apt to
develop originality and unified
patriotism in school and homo life,
Newspaper clippings. illustrations, eto..
might be included and tho cost mini
mized ~ sending the weekly greetings
in a packet to tho Y. NJ &. A or to
some individual for distribution.
An effort is to be made to keep the
boys clean in mind and heart. They
are not SO apt to feel like forgotten
specks in the mass and give way to
passion II they know that they live not
only in the hearts of the folks back
home. but that each ono has been
singled out by name to be written to
BY some boy or girl as q soldier hero.
They are apt to try to live the part.
Tho war was begun BY materialists-
let the high ideals Of youth help to end

Dutch Demand Proofs.

THE HAGUE, October 13.-The Dutch
foreign office has issued the following
official statement concerning the pro-
hibition of the use of British cables by
Holland:
The Netherlands government can

GET CHANCE TO TRY
FOR COMMISSIONS
Privilege to American Young
Men Serving With Hospital
Units Abroad.
OPERATION OF DRAFT LAW

Any American young man who Is now
serving with hospital unit In France
will have an opportunity to try for a
commission in the United States Army
without coming back to this country
for a course of intensive training.
Officers training camps are to be es-
tablished IN France and men selected
by their commanding officers viii be
sent to these camps to compete for
commissions.
Because there are a number OF
Washington youths who have enlisted
in the ambulance service, either with
the early volunteer units or with those
regularly organized under the War
Department and the American Red
Cross, this news, which comes authori-
tatively today from Adjt. Gen. Henry
p. Mccain, will be of great interest
here
There has been a question in the pub
lie mind as to whether the ambulance
units which were early organized in
France as independent organizations
have been recognized as part of the
military forces. on this point also
hinged a question of whether men in
these units were subject to draft and
must return to the United States.

BRISTOw FREE FAIR CLOSES
Is Pronounced Success. Altho Lack OF
Interest Apparent.
Special to The World.


BRISTOW, Okla. Sept. 1.-THE
Bristow township free fair closed last
night and was considered very sue
cessful fair. There was not the in
terest manifested that should have
been. but the displays were good in
all departments. Some of the agri-
cultural exhibits were exceptionally
good. especially the corn and cotton.
There iwere some of the varieties OF
corn that were exhibited that sur
prised the judges, as they did not
think Il possible that such corn could
be raised in Oklahoma. There were
displays OF a dozen ears in each ex-
hibit and some of them were of enor-
nous size Perhaps n half dozen
stalks of cotton were brought in and
all of them We're extra large; some
had bolls open and the same stalk
had blooms ON them and We're still
growing. Watermelons OF enormous
size were on exhibit also. In the bet
ter babies contest Purdy Colaw took
Nrst and Truman Il. Gibson. Jr., took
second prizes. Practically all the ex-
Nhibits. including the babies will go
to Sapulpa to the Creek county free
fair.
