DEMANDS OF THE WAR

DEMANDS OF THE WAR
A few days ago q meeting at Utica.
New York. gathered fer some pur.
pose connected with the prosecution
of the war, was addressed by an
American orator Of the spread
eagle" sort and also by an Canadian
soldier home from the trenches to re-
cuperate. The American orator wav.
ed the starry banner" and wrung
tears from his audience with refer
ences to mothers eyes watching for
her boy" and made eagle scream from
the rock bound coasts of Maine to
the sunny shores of California and
from the sparkling SHOWS OF Canada
to the sunlit waters OF the gulf. 1t
was Jim dandy speech, that thrilled
the blood and fired the enthusiasm,
even though it didn't mean thing
or advance a single new idea.
The Canadian soldier was not an
orator. We suspect he must have
been of Scotch descent from his hard
headed practical words The FIRST
thing he said was: 1T doesn't make
damned bit of difference what
America has done. The question is,
What is she going to do?''
That is something for Americans
to chew on. We've had enough and
too much telling and retelling OF what
we have done. That's mostly wind
anyhow, for genuine history, not the
padded history Of the schoolroom,
shows that as matter of fact we
have done mighty little worthy OF
OF note in our l40 years of existence
besides grow rich and fat. Neither
will! what we have done, whether
much or little. win this war

Why Poland Revolts

MO better example Of that duplicity which

which the central powers have accorded

this bufeted nation have turned against their
wolish protectors and threaten revolution

Since the first German invasion of Poland.

central powers meant to liberate that coun-
try. restore the ancient kingdom and safe
guard not only its sovereignty. but tho au-
tonomy OF its government. All this was Of
fcred as bid for Polish support in the cam
paigus against Russia and Russian domina-
ton OF large area Of Polish territory. In
the course of time the Russins were driven
from the borders of Poland, and Warsaw was
occupied by German forces. Then came the
collapse OF Russia and the certainty that it
would never again be powerful enough to
reclaim dominion in Poland. With this came
tho opportunity, which Germany and Austria
seemed to await with passionate eagerness, to
set up an independent government of the
Poles. protected by the friendship Of the Ger
man and Austrian peoples. A native Cabinet
was created and sovereign was proposed.
Thereafter it became eXpedient 10 treat
with Ukraine The Ukrainans had separated
themselves from Russia, and desired sepa-
rate peace with Russia's enemies But the
l krai nlanS wanted moro than peace. They
wanted territory. In the course OF much
bargaining. Germany and Austria agreed TO
award to Ukraine the rich Polish province
OF Cholm, populated almost wholly by Polish
nationals. and an area to which Ukraine had
no conceivable right. With no regard what
ever for Polish sentiment and no fear OF
possible Polish resentment. the central
powers stripped Poland of this territory and
sold it TO Ukraine as i peace measure This
action. taken secretly, but since revealed,
