Perplexed Sweethearts

Dear Madam--A little more than year
ago / met girl and we fell in love and
later became engaged. We get along very
nicely. Lately her family and mine have

me and I love her. Will you kindly help us?

r. ID. +. A. X.
Because your families do not agree
would be poor reason for breaking
with the girl, especially as the disagree
ment is not about your engagement. If
you love each other do not break the en-
gagement. OF course, If you are both
of age and could marry 1t would be the
easiest solution, but | would not advise
that with the coming draft call. That
is question you and she should decide
without outside advice If you are not too
young. Advise your sweetheart not to
notice the unkind treatment. 1t will
soon stop If 1t is unnoticed and she is
always cheerful and sweet.

MCCLURE on "POLAND"
Topeka Lawyer in Talk Before JAY
hawker Club Outlines Conditions.

In a carefully prepared talk before
the Jayhawker club last night, James
A. Mcclure, well known Topeka at
torney, enlightened this organization
ON the conditions in Europe at this
time in reference to Poland. -,
1.-THE history of Poland is one long
story of tragedy" Mcclure said. ''Po-
lands place in history is characterized
by the aspirations of her heroes and
the visionary patriotism and artistic
preoccupation of her common people,"
In relation to Polish settlement in
the United States, Mcclure said: "A
large part of the Polish population
has taken refuge in this country. 1t
is estimated that 100000 Poles have
migrated to America In Pennsylvania
one inhabitant out of every twelve has
Polish blood in his veins; in New York
one out of fourteen, in Massachusetts
one out of ten, while in Wisconsin
one out of every eighth person is of
Polish descent. There are more Poles
in Chicago than in any other city in
the world, except Warsaw
In speaking of the attitude of Po-
land in the present war. Mcclure said:
The Poles are neither pro-German
nor pro-RuSsian. In numbers, in
brains, in wealth, in unity of spirit
they are stronger today than ever be-
fore in their history and as an indie
pendent nation would rapidly become
one of the great powers of Europe.
The Poles want only one thing and
that is independence. Will they get
