By a StdG Correspondent

washington. Aug. IL.
Standing within the shadow Of the
gallows. to which the Austrian court
martials now being held at Marmarosse-
Sziget, in Hungary. will inevitably con-
sign them. 1875 Polish soldiers and Of
ficers who led an armed revolt In the
Austrian army in February last. have is-
sued two appeals to the Polish people
throughout the world. begging them not
to compromise the freedom Of Poland
with the idea of securing any allcviatlon
OF their sentences.
Altogether eighty-eight officers and
twcntysix privates are being courtmar-
tailed at Marina rosse- -Sziget In Hungary.
The officers and men are part of the
Polish Carpathian Iron Brigade. which
revolted late In February, seized arms
and provisions and marched from Buko-
wilma In Austria into Bessarabia under
the command of General Haller
Part Of thesforce was captured by the
Germans. but the larger portion has
since consolidated with the Czecho-
Slavic army.
"The fear that tormcnts u.s." they
write in the memorial to the Polish ma
ton, "is that the real Polish strength.
so vital to the success of our holy cause,
may be lessened by the attempts Of our
political representatives in the Austrian
Parliament to secure for US relief or to
avert the fate that awaits us.
"It is therefore, in our name and
that of our soldiers that we plead ar
IDENTIFY with the Polish nation. which has
surrounded us with such moral comfort,
to take full cognizance of our words and
to desist from exercising any influence
in our case upon the Polish parliament
tHry club in Austria. If they make any
attempt to secure concessions for us, It
will be contrary to our wishes. for we
know that such concessions can only be
Ind by pledges, compromises and COM
mtments, which will make to the detri-
ment of the Polish nation. and the les
sening Of the strength of the battle for
Polish freedom and independence"
