Poland First

To the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir: In one of the New York newspapers
Of November Is there appeared an cdi-
torlal propagating immediate help to the
conquered foe Inasmuch as this move
ment may be inspired by the most human
itarian and even political reasons we must
not forget that from the beginning Of thi;
great struggle, when Poland was entirely
cut off from the outside world. all availa
bic foodstufs were requisitoned by tho
invader and the Poles were left destitute
and starving. Nevertheless this brave
country held out, and remained steadfastl,.
anti-German. All the cries of the Poles
Tor help remained voices in the Wilderness
and even the earnest efforts Of the best
intentioncd Americans were fruitless. Nou,
that the war is at end and the enemies
of humanity brought to their knees
let US at least observe the rights of prior
lty The German propaganda is still at
work and may prove now AS dangerous "a
it WAS during the war
Can we forget in week all the crimes
committed by the Germans and their asso-
ciates and leave without helping hand
the people who suffered most and we're
always with US showing their loyalty to the
cause of justice in the most emphatic
manner? THOS. G. BLACKEY.

Prospects for Dear Living

The head Of the Armour interests ex-
presses the view that food prices will
decline little for four years at least.
by Mr.. Hoover's statement that VIC shall
need to send abroad at least 2O,0OOOOO
tons of food this coming year. This
would be equal to, if not greater than,
the total exports for the present year,
including those for our great army in
France.
1t is estimated that there are forty
millions in Northern Russia who will
be unable to obtain sufficient food this
winter. There are many millions more
in other parts of Europe where there
will be desperate need until the next
harvest If anything like the same
condition should ensue in Germany as
followed the revolution in Russia, that
would create still further demand in
that country; and the need for food
there probably is or will be acute.
All this has, of course, very large
bearing on the course of prices and of
business in this country. The continu-
ance of high cost of living, hard as it
would bear and has borne on some
classes, would not be without its COM
pensation. 1t would mean high prices
and prosperity for what is still our
greatest industry. Large buying power
on the part OF the farmers might go far
to tide over times Of uncertainty and
hesitation in industry. 1t would also
mean that there could be for time at
least no drastic cut in the wages of
labor without strikes and great dis
organization Of business.
Every one would like to see lowered
prices-and present wages and full
time. The two are not usually COM
patiblc. We can face high prices with
equanimity II they mean general pros
perity and active industry

for freedom and self-determinatioA were
supposed to go up in the flame and smoke
of that symbolic conhagration.
But the German forecast. the Russian
forecast and the Austrian forecast OF
Poland's future have all been mistaken.
Russia extinguished her Polish title in
the Treaty Of Brest- -Litovsk-revoked q
few days ago snder the terms Of fochs
armistice with Germany. But return to
the pre-war status quo in Poland is now
inconceivable, so far as Russia is con
cerned. 1t is even more inconceivable SO
far as Germany and Austria Hungary
are concerned. For a long time Berlin
and Vienna we're deadlocked over the dis
position to be made of the Polish spois
wrested from Russia. Last August Ger
many gracefully yielded to the Austrian
proposal to put the Archduke Karl
Stephen of Austria at the head Of
Polish buffer state, which was to be
virtually a Tcuton dependency. Luden-
dorff needed Austro Hungarian divisions
on the West front and bargaincd away
for them exclusive German control Of
Poland. He was selling an impondcrablc
and imaginary possession. Poland was
not his; neither was it the Emperor
KarPs after the latter acquired it.
The real Poland was something beyond
the conception Of the materialstic states
men in Berlin and Vienna. It existed in
the minds and hearts of a race which had
resolved to survive and to regain a place
in the world. The spirit Of Poland is
imperishabc. The machinery of govern
ment which the German and Austrian
governments created in the conquered
Russian territory could never be made to
serve German and Austrian purposes. 1t
bided its time. When Teuton power on
the West front was shattered by Luden-
dorff's defeats and Bulgaria drew out of
the stricken Quadruple Alliance every
Polish instrumentality became Inilitantly
nationalistic. The supposedly docile Re
gency Council in Warsaw asserted its
own authority. The Polish Legion raised
the flag Of the new Polish state Gaicia,
Austria's share Of the various partitions,
was declared reattached to the ancient
kingdom, and Polish troops invaded the
Polish territory Of Prussia.
Poland has been recognized by the Al
lies as co-belligerent. Her independence
and restoration as nation have been
guaranteed TO her. She is entitled not
only to Galicia but to Posen and to most
Of West Prussia. She will undoubtedly
i,
encc. Meanwhile she is stalking out her
claims.
Kosciuszko has been avenged. One of
the most inspiring and dramatic strug-
giles ever made by race to regain free
dom and to restore its once glorious
fortunes is drawing to happy end in
the basin Of the Vistula.

BACK HOME STUFF.
Dunk Dcyac.

George Duncan Devac was the town
drunkard. Every night, winter and sum-
mcr, Aunt Mary Hutsinpiller sat at her
parlor window and knitted while she patted
her foot. She knew more about people
than Eliza WHITLEY, who worked in the
postof1icc.
Aunt Mary used to say that she could
never remember q night that Dunk Dcvac
did not go past her window on his way
home for supper drunk. He lived in Straw
berry Row, south Of the spoke factory.
Dunk Devac was small and wiry and he
always smiled, drunk or sober He could
name all the Presidents in rotation and
quote Scripture. He bad two fingers off Of
his right hand He lost them the year he
went to work in the Mulineaux planning
mill He never worked after that
His wife, Sallic Dcvac, clerked in Nose
Strauss Bon Ton store. She va, dign-
fed woman, one of the Yates sisters from
Rio Grande, neat in dress and active in
church work. Nobody could ever sec why
she kept on living with Dunk Devac.
Everybody felt so sorry for her the day
she was walking home with the wife Of the
new Methodist preacher 1t was the week
of the trotting meet and on the opposite
side of the street some men from the fair
grounds were carrying Dunk Devac home
a shutter.
Another time Dunk Devac fell off the
wharf boat while the crowds were waiting
for the new Iron Queen from Louisville
They had to roll him in barrel on the
levee before he came to- General George
House, who the Old Reliable Insurance
Agency, once offered Dunk Devac a pair
of double seated corduroy trousers if he
would stay sober Election Day Dunk
wouldn't promise.
But he took his wife to hear the Swiss
Bell Ringers at Odd Fellows Hall and wore
his cutaway coat Afterward they went to
Mr.. Jenny's ice cream parlor and straight
home.

Metz is the city of Colette BaudocIc, it is
the city of q thousand similar legends
of the unbroken and unbreakable spirit
of the French inhabitants, spirit re-
vealed in all the present war, in the
newly occupied districts of the North.
And now, at last, the French are COM
ing back; the Verdun road is already
crowded with those American troops
who are bringing back French rule the
forts on the circle of hills above the
Mosclle are silent to-day, but from them
French flags and French joy-fring will
break out on Sunday. In the famous
little square Marshal Foch, the victor of
the Marine, will salute the statue of
Marshal Ney, the Prince of Moskwa;
another slavery like that of the children
of Israel in Egypt is ending.
In the days since Sedan French ex-
plorers, soldiers and civilians alike, have
carried the tricolor to the heart of
Africa and to the capitals of the She
reefian empire. To-day Oran has its
Boulevard d'Alsace-L Lorraine Casablanca
its Rue de Strasbourg and Tunis its
Rue de Metz. All over the kabyle high
lands of Algeria, where handful of
exiles from the "lost provinces" are TAX
ing up the task of creating new
France, the names of the cities and
towns of Alsace and Lorraine appear.
Bitche, Colmar, Metz-they are more
frequent than the names of victorious
battletields of the past.
Remember always" this was Gam
betta's word; speak never" and for
nearly half a century a whole nation,
amidst the eddies and tides of ephem-
eral political excitement and passion,
has kept the candle Of hope burning
before the altar of national resolution.
And tomorrow France is coming back
to her own. Foch and Petain are bring
ing the tricolor back to the land of
Ney and the Kellermanns, of Rapp and
kleber, to what was once called the
nursery of French generals.
But even the French aspect is subor-
dlnate. Alsace-L Lorraine and Poland
were the great crimes against peoples of
all modern history. While they sub
sisted they were an enduring mockery
of all our claims to civilization and JUS
tice. They have been abolished to-
gether. The French flags on the cathe-
drals Of Metz and Strasbourg will be more
than signals to the enslaved peoples of
the two provinces that the day Of glory
has arrived; they are a final evidence
to all mankind that settlements by the
sword are of brief duration.
The German Empire in its might and
magnificence trampled upon the liberties
of a few hundred thousand people of
Alsace and Lorraine, its rulers Knocked
at the claims of right and Justice. it's
soldiers drew frontiers with the sword
And now the German Empire has fallen,
the Prussan sword is broken, and down
the Verdun road into Metz comes an
American army. Since history began
right never won more far-shining vic
tory over might, nor was any ceremony
more memorable than that at Metz to-
morrow.

If VIC must feed starving Germany
and in the interest of humanity and inno-
cent women and children we must-let the
government send these surplus substitutes

For % years this preparation has
met with astonishing success in
thousands of cases of colds, grip, ton
silitis and stomach and nerve-dis-
! orders, and only recently was it
proved that Hulrs Superlative is in
reality not a Medicine" but tissue

with this preparation restores health
in an astonishingly short time.
Local druggists are selling great
quantities of Hulls Superlative, and
