koscusizko and Pulaski, was the
theme of the address delivered by
Maj. Joseph Koslowski yesterday
morning at the Independence Day
celebration Of the Poles in front of
the two monuments to the heroes of
Poland.
Maj. Kozlowski, a veteran of thirty
years service in the French army, is
at present the chief of the Polish Mis-
sion in this country. He urged his
fellow eountrymen to follow the ex-
ample Of the heroes and free their
Poland from oppression.
Lieut.. Labat. of the French High
Commission, told the people that the
French government realized that the
Polish divisions were among their
most valued assets on the Western
front.
In the afternoon the military diyi.
sion from Poland in the parade was
led by Maj. Kozlowski. Behind him
was carried the Polish flag, the white
eagle on the maroon field. 1t was the
first time in history that the Polish
flag had officiated in any ceremony

Boesch for Driving Of Subs.

The citizens Of Ponto Delgade,
Asores Islands, have presented to
Lieut.. Commander ]. H. Boesch. of
the supply ship Orion, a silver loving
cup, with the permission of the Navy
Department.
The Orion happened to be at Ponto
Delgade on July 4. 1917. A German
submarine arrived Off shore and be-
gan sheiling the town. The Orio, be-
ing an armed vessel. opened fire on
the U-boat and drove II away. saving
the town from serious damage.
The American minister at Lisbon
cabled the State Department that the
citizens of Ponto Delgade wished to
make the presentation to Lieut.. Com
man6er Boesch. and the Acting Sec
retary decided il would be permissible.
Although literally speaking a foreign
decoration, the cup was not the gift Of
a king. minister or other foreign po-
tentate. and viewed from this stand
point. the Acting Secretary ruled that
the token of the islanders gratitude
could be accepted.

The German war correspondents,

on the Aisne and Marne, which the
