GERMANY CRACKING-BUY!
RECOGNITION OF POLAND.

RECOGNITION OF POLAND.
In every corner of the globe, Poles
| and those of Polish blood are rejoic-
ing today at the announcement from
| London of the recognition by Great
Britain of the Polish national army as
autonomous. allied and co-belliger-
emit The momentous announcement
is contained in the following dis
patch
u London, oct. 16.-The British
government has recognized the
Polish national army as autono-
nous, allied and co-belligerent,
according to an official an
nouncement tonight
The news will be particularly graf
flying to those Of Polish birth or ex-
traction in this country, from whose
ranks the Polish army in France was
largely recruited. No doubt the other
will follow Great Britain's example
Of recognition. No other of the
smaller nations deserves to be recog-
nized more than the Poles. Though
downtrodden by ruthless invaders,
the sons of Poland have ever been in
perfect accord with the Allies in
whom they saw their liberators. The
recognition of the Polish Army by
Great Britain Is different from that
accorded the Czecho- Slovaks Bohemia
has been recognized as a belligerent
state according to the legal definition,
for Bohemia is a political and Mil
tary entity, although, for obvious rea-
sons this entity is directed from
abroad. The Jugo- Slavs have been
recognized as belligerents without an
established government or recog-
nized territory. Now the military
government of the Polish Army is
recognized as an autonomous organi-
cation which awaits political and ter
ritorial identification

would be compelled to accept the
terms he offered them, in which event.
knowing the magnanimity of the Ger

at large would have to be content with
very little.
How the kaiser feels now that the
failure of the U-boats to intercept
American troop ships must be pam
fully apparent to him, and America
has so overwhelmingly overcome the
shortage of shipping. I don't know, but
if is more than probable that for some
