Germany and u. S. to
Confer on Prisoners
Berlin Accepts Invitation to
Discuss Situation In
Switzerland

WASHINGTON, June 2s.-Germany
has accepted the invitation Of the
to Berne, Switzerland, for a conference
on August with an American delega-
tion on the general subject Of exchange
and treatment Of prisoners of war.
Formal reply from the German gov
ernment was received to-day by the
State Department through the Spanish
Ambassador at Berlin and the Ameri-
can Minister in Switzerland.
The conference is expected to take
up the question of pay Of officers held
prisoner in the two countries. The
United States government addressed a
note on the subject to Germany last
year, and when no reply had been re-
ceived last December the pay to Ger
man officers held in this country was
stopped. Later Germany made coun-
ter proposals, which were accepted in
the main by the American government,
but Germany has not yet replied to this
second note

Poles in Austria
Ask Moral Support
OF United States
Especial Dispatch to The Tribune

Especial Dispatch to The Tribune)
WASHINGTON, June 2s.-An appeal
for a demonstration of moral support
of the Poles in Austria, who, it is ad
mitted, by reason of their German
and anti-Austrian attitude, have pro-
voked parliamentary crisis, was is
sued to-day by the Polish National De-
partment. Polish authorities in the
United States made known through the
Associated Polish Press Bureau that In
the event of this wave OF support de-
veloping there need be no fear that the
news of American sympathy could not
be conveyed even into Austria. The
statement of the National Department
reads, in part, as follows:
"While the attention of America is
to-day, properly, centred on the activ-
tiles Of the Polish army in France,
which has for some time been in the
trenches, great and valuable work is
also being done by the Poles in Austria,
who have pledged themselves to dis
credit the Brest-Litovsk treaty and the
ministers and officials who had hand
in the making of that most infamous
document. Furthermore, their abso-
lutte refusal to treat with the Austrian
governmental authorities unless Aus
tria disavows absolutely the German
solution of Polish state, is harassing,
embarrassing and dangerous to the
Central Powers at this time. =.
"The Poles have consistently refused
to vote the budget and have practically
brought about the collapse of the min
istry. Indeed, in Austria. the papers
uation which has made the promulga-
tion of the martial law in the Dual
Monarchy an apparent necessity. 1t is
long and hard battle which these
Poles are making and they deserve en-
couragement. Over a year ago they
brought about the collapse of former
ministry in the Dual Monarchy, and it
must now be confessed that the agree
ments by which they afterward as
sented to the creation of new parlla-
mentary body were made possible by
reason of the Indifference Of the Allies
to the step which the Poles had taken
the Allies to the stand which they made
at that time that the German propa.
gandists actually scoffed and Knocked
the Allied cause before their faces.
again they have taken stand, and
it is to be hoped that the Allies will
continue to make plain their sympathy
with Polish aspirations which was SO
happily made evident at the Allied con-
ference at Versailles on June 8. Of all
the subject races in Austria Hungary
the Poles enjoy the most complete lib
erty, but their ambition for united
and Independent Poland, with access to
the sea, has risen triumphant over the
Offices and honors which the Austrian
government has attempted to lavish on
them But real wave of sympathy
and appreciation is needed in order tc
assist them in these present trying
times. Meanwhile, their campaign fol
the discrediting Of the Brest-Litovsl
treaties and of the men concerned in
them cannot but be of material aid in
blocking German control plans in Rus
