PRESS COMMENT.
POLAND AND GERMANY.

In demanding the withdrawal Of
German military authorities from the
occupied sections OF Poland and in the
breaking off of relations with Berlin
the representatives Of the present Polish
Government have taken steps which
the conditions have made imperative.
The reason briefly stated is that the
Germans have been encouraging Boil
shevism; but the indications arc that
this merely covers ono phase OF the
antsgonism which Germany has been
showing to the restoration Of ancient
Poland and TO the establishment OF q
stable Government.
The Poles apparently accepted the
promises Of Germany and Austria made
at tho time of the Germsnic SUCCESSES
on the eastern front. But they lost all
faith in these promises "a soon as the
military authorities began TO put the
somewhat indefinite plans of Polish re-
habilitation into execution. The Poles
then discovered that, instead Of restora-
tion of their original boundaries. they were
to have only a few provinces Of their
ancient kingdom. One of their provinces
was given TO Ukraine, another was
claimed by Prussia and Poland's ac-
cess to the sea was cut off. General
Joseph Pilsudski, the military head
Of the present Government. no doubt
expressed the feeling Of the Polish
people when he said, Our indepen-
dence is due entirely TO the Allies. other
wise il would have been fiction"
Germany has been throughout the
chief enemy Of Polish independence
Austria had offered tn make conccs-
sions to form new kindgom if Ger
many would do likewise; but Germany
refused, because she saw in strong
Polish nation menace To her OVID
Prussianized Polish provinces The re-
suit was tho first serious break between
Germany and Austria, a break that re-
suited in the opposition of the Austrian
Polish party to the Germanic war policy.
