 Mir Marshall, chairman of the con- mittee on Poland, in presenting the bill of rights to the congress, ex- plained that it was drafted jointly by four committees that have been con- sidering conditions in Russia, Poland, Galicia, Lithuania, Ukrainia and the new Slovak regions. The report rec commended the following:

 The congress adopted the proposi- tion of the national Polish depart ment and Polish national defense com mittee for a commission to investi- gate conditions in Poland affecting the Jews and to make a public re- port of the findings. The comimuni- cuiiol' from the Polish organizations containing the proposal did not admit the truth of reports of pogroms or massacres in Poland, while the reply made by the congress today accept ing the proposition to investigate stated that the reports emanated from sources of such high standing and responsibility that the congress cannot doubt the trustworthiness of the information"
 The commission as proposed by the Polish organizations is to consist of two Poles, two Jews and two repre- sentative Americans. The Jewish members of the commissoin will be designated by Judge Mack and Louis Marshall.

You can see thu there were innu-
merable proofs that Donald was a
god. He was, az a matter of fact,

thing indicated that he was a true

There was no doubt whatever about
the halo. When Donald walked with
his back to the sun and his shadow

see little rays OF light. tremulous lit

the shadow. That was sign. He did
not believe the shadows Of common
rrortals radiated light. There was.

beings.

ows cast by the blocks radiated halos
like those his own shadow radiated.
He tried a couple Of cold blocks and
they radiated no auras. The logic
was absolute--he had created souls
for the blocks of wood.
He had a vague notion that there
was a sort of conspiracy of silence re-
gardinY his godshp. There were
times when he felt that every one

FUTURE BRIGHT
IN NAVY ALSO
Promotion on Merit Only
Achieved, Secretary
Daniels Declares.

The future OF thousands of young
men who are In training at the naval
stations is as bright as that of young
men IN the service in any place where
men may rise by individual merit. ac-
cording to Secretary Daniels.
The object of these training forces,
Mr.. Daniels said, was to provide both
officers and men for actual service
on the government merchant marine
and in the general service of the
navy. The navy undertook some time
ago to man and officer ships turned
over to it by the War Department,
and this is being done continuously.
AS in every other branch of the serv-
ice, there are competitive examina-
tions. and such men as qualify get
commissions as officers. Others be
come members of the crews and con-
tinue their training for sea service.
For some time there has been great
demand on the department for fitting
out the ships built and being built for
the merchant marine. AS a general
rule the navy gets simply the ship,
without either officers or crew, and
knowing what it would be called upon
to do, the navy established stations
and extended others to furnish a con-
slant supply Of men and officers OF
the merchant marine service. So
when officers are needed and the men
can pass the required examinations
in navigation and the technical busi-
ness of running and commanding a
ship. selections are made after the
proper examinations.
Navy officers point out that train
ing camps even for officers do mo-
mean that the men who enlist OIL
who attend the camps have any guar
antee that they will come out OF tht
camps as officers. 1t is only thos'
who can pass the required examina'
tions who become officers, and be
coming officers is I>Stter that de
