 Suage are now actually being peti- toned in Polish by the Germans to assist German war loans Although a law stands on the statute books for
 Prussian Poland that "on and after the first day of 1927, Polish is not to be spoken in the Polish provin- ces," the Germans have today re- sorted to the eXpedient of printing war loan appeals to the children i'll the outlawed language All through Posnaia and Silesia, cards have been distributed bearing the caption: "He Who Desires Peace Should Subscribe to the War Loan"
 The poster further contains pie ture of bell and few lines of poe try which read: Children. if you save the money that you get from your mothers or from anyone else, and invest it in the war loans. then this bell will soon announce that the war is finished and that there is peace again. Then your fathers or brothers will come home, and they

 It is reported that the Polish chiI- dren, aroused by these posters, have been bombarding their German teach CTS with requests, in the purest of Polish, for information as to what will be done with the money and why it is wanted. lnasmuch as the teachers are forbidden to speak Pol ish to them in reply within school buildings, under penalty of law, they are undoubtedly placed in an em- barrassing position.

SANG GOD SAVE THE
 KING AND STAR
 SPANGLkO BANNER
Impressive Ceremony at the Funeral of Victims
 of Otranto.

l Bridgend, Island of Tslay, Scotland
 Oct. 12 Correspondence of The
 Associated Press 1.-The time-hallow
 ca custom of singing God Save the King at the conclusion of every for. ! maj British ceremony was broker
 at the funeral services last Friday fol the American soldiers who lost their
 lives with the sinking of the trans port Otranto, in collision off the scotch coast with the Kasmir.
 AS tribute to the American sold- iers buried side by side with the naval officers and men from the wrecked British transport, the British national anthem was followed by the singing of The Star Spangled Banner" in which the entire assembly, which several high naval and military officers and virtually the entire population of the island joined. Few knew the words but the islanders carried the tune with their soft Gaelic voices, standing with their heads barred to the sharp wind from the sea.
 1t was delicate courtesy that was deeply appreciated by the United States Army officers and American Red Cross officials present.
 To attend the funeral the islanders came from the remotest parts of Islay some driving thirty miles in the springless, jolting "box carts'' familiar to Americans who have tour ed Ireland and Scotland.
 Up to that time the bodies of 199 victims had been recovered and given temporary burial in an open field near the little church at Kilchoman, which looks out over the cliff to the scene of the wreck. The procession, which formed in the churchyard, fol- lowed the bodies of the Otrantos captain, G. w. Davidson, and the ships chief engineer to the burial ground The Laird's of lslay's pipers headed the cortege, playing Scotch dirges as they marched. Then came a firing party, with arms reversed; next, the three clergymen of the island, the Rev. Donald Grant of the Scotch Pres byterian church, an Episcopal min ister and Roman Catholic priest. Then came the bearers of the British and American flags, the latter being Sergeant c. A. Mcdonald of Gales burg, Illinois, one of the survivors. United States army and American Red Cross officers marched, as the chief mOurners, behind the flags, followed by British naval and military officers, the laird, Hugh Morrison and other prominent men of 1slay.
 A guard of the Argy Illshire con- stabulary, brought from the mainland, had been posted around the graves.
 Simple services, consisting chiefly of the reading of prayers, were con- Gucted by Mir. Grant, assisted by the priest and the Episcopal minister. A salute of six volleys was then fired, after which the British and Ameri- can national anthems were sung.
 The graves were wide shallow pits, the bodies being covered only with sod while American soldiers were mak- ing collins for the regular interment which was soon to follow.

much exercised in their attempts to conceal from the outside world the news of the public and private meet in2S which are characterized by @e- neral unity and agreement on tE" part of the entire attendance. Grcag enthusiasm is always shown at the st gatherings when the fourteen prin- eiples of President Wilson are men toned. in which he announced his support of a united and independent Polish state, composed of all indS- putably Polish peoples, and with ac- cess to the sea At Rqdzc, at Cra- COW, and at Tarnow, the name of the President has been openly cheered 'n the streets and market places.
 Nor do the Poles lose sight of their economic future. The Polish nation al aims are given greater dignity 'by the serious program of recon struction which is being evolved by their statesmen. A plan for agri- cultural reform has been worked ont by farming experts from Galcia, Rus sian Poland and German Poland This calls for the division of the

POLISH DAY Of LIBERTY
 IS SEEN IS NEAR FUTURE
Poles Are Hopeful for Freedom Af- ter Demise of Hun Rule-They
 Are Confident of U. $.

Americas recognition of the Pol ish army, under the direction of the Polish National Committee, as auto nomous and co-belligerent, has caus- ed great satisfaction among the Pol ish people in this country. Following upon the proclamation of independ- ence issued by the Regency Council in Poland, it encourages them to be- lieve that their hoped-for day of freedom has virtually arrived.
 The document of the Regency Coun- cil declaring that Poland is sell governing state has also demanded inc withdrawal of all the German su- pervistory authorities The effect of this ultimatum was to start fire of enthusiasm through the WhoAe country. Demonstrations have been held in Warsaw daily and are spread ing to the remotest corners Of Poi ish soil. At the same time 1t assert
 ed it's independence, the Regency Council assumed the control Of var1' ous internal functions, and While the German Governor General Hans von
 Bese.er is apparently even yet at- tempting to retain a semblance ot his authirity, his position is pre- carious one. . In the eleventh hour of it's exist- enca. the German regime IS dolh9 everything conceivable to lengthen us life, In fact, the Germans in Poiano are forced to the wall, and in theif desire to demonstrate the sincerity
 of their peace talk, they find them selves obliged to abandon the dras- tic tactics of repression which they have practised until recently.
 Polish Language Permitted. One of the evidence of this IS the 1axitv of the authorities with respect
 in the use of the Polish language,

Foreign Secretary Balfour said:

Everybody welcome and everything

that all moneys received are used en-

This office received telegram from
the Yards News Bureau at Chicago
stating that Charles III. See Of Bara-
boo and Mrs. Rose Cash had been IL
lcensed to marry. The. names were
inserted in this paper as given; above
and the paper was hardly off the press
before Charles II. Lee, member of
the Lee Radtke Hardware company,
rushed into this Office and ordered his
paper discontinued and advertising
stopped. After the telegram came an
effort was made to find out who Mr..
See was and now we see. Mr.. Lee
says the whole matter is private bus
mess and is certainly much excited.
Although he did not say 30 evident
ly from the way the wind blew he
was the one who obtained the license
to marry In case he did not desire
the matter made public he should
have visited all of the Chicago pa
pers, the news bureaus and local
press. A citizen who takes out q
license to marry and then, because it
is made public, makes a roar, surely
is not using the best judgment. Lee

Their humiliating end" he said,
"was the proper end for an enemy
which had proven himself so lacking
in chivalry. At sea his strategy, his
tactics and his behavior had been be-
meath contempt and worthy of a ma
ton which has waged war in the man
ner in which the enemy has waged
