and the obscurity of the towering
hills would descend Austrian skir-

swift, terrible action, and leave be-
hind them the lesser number, torn
by the brief, ferocious combat, lying
among the echoes of theif glorious
past.
The battle line which divided Ser

Prizrend-that aged fastness an
chored among the cloudy peaks of
Old Serbia-from some millions of
her loyal sons in Bosnia Herzego-
vina who dared sing, but not aloud; !;
that battle line was drawn between
Serb and Serb and by Serbian blood,
not in civil war but in the most
frightful tragedy Of unwilling
fratricide the world has ever known.
In some instances the Austro-Ger-
man governments considered the ex-
pediency of saving ammunition and
energy in quellihg Jugo-Slavic dis
turbances otherwise than by actual
slaughter Of the civilian population
and the wholesale execution of such
soldiers as proved to be a disturb
ing element in their organizations.
They conceived thorough plan for
their incarceration in prisons and
internment camps. Here their grad

come a matter of "accident" and at
tributable to the "exigencies of war" "
Due to the unavoidable" condi-
tions, calculated to appear so favor
ably in final reckoning, Serbian
prisoners died with obliging rapidity
In 1916 spotted typhus ravaged the
internment camps in this section of
Austria. The military authorities
ordered the instant closing of the
barracks. Not until a week had
passed was regimental surgeon dis

grave. Nine thousand Serbians had
perished within the week. They
were buried by the hundreds in one
grave. When the earth was levelled

The Fountainhead
OF European Culture

Out of the blood drenched plains
of Poland (the name is derived from
the word "Pole," which in the Slavic
tongue means '.field")-a country to-
day falsely regarded as "small ma
ton" and which in 1772 consisted of
nearly 100000 square miles, or al
most 100000 square miles more than
the present German Empire-have
risen constantly the living remnants
of an ancient and unsurpassed cult
ure. The four great universities of
Poland, the first of them Cracow and
Wilma and subsequently Zamosc and
Lemberg, are among the first Of
Europe, antedating by a year ths
University of Vienna and by
600 years that of Berlin. In
Poland in 1905 was applied a demo-
cratic parliamentary system, when
for the first time in the history of the
world kings were elected as presi-
dents for life terms.
In the same year the Polish Par
lament declared absolute religious
freedom over the entire republic
and Poland became what America is
to-day, the haven of all oppressed
people fleeing from political and re-
ligious persecution. Serfdom, the
bitter humiliation to which Poland
has so long been subjected, has al
ways been abhorrent to the ideals of
the Slavic race. 1t is interesting to
note that among all the generals Wv
fought so gallantly in the American
War of Independence the only one
who had no slaves was Polish
nobleman, Kosciuszko.
Since it has been the policy Of the
Central Powers to exterminate what
they could not assimilate, Poland has
suffered the slow torture of national
death, unarmed and defenceless.
But the weapon is about to be
given into her hand. The germ OF
the idea for vast Slavic army
originated among the Slavs in the
United States. The enthusiasm OF
these has fed the recent small re-
bellions throughout Central Europe
The tireless energy Of these has
brought about their recognition by
the President of the United States
who has formally announced his
approval Of such an organization
emanating from America.

The Senate Military Committee
has recently adopted resolution
which renders formal the United

ihe Polish army, brought to life
by decree of President Poincare
Of France on June 4, 1917, has met
with the approval and sanction of
the United States and other Allied
governments. Over and over again
small Polish forces have been prac-
tically exterminated and have risen
again with indomitable courage and
constituted themselves force to be
reckoned with. The organization in
spired and fostered by Ignace Jan
Paderewski, the Polish Army in
France, has recruited in America
considerable force which has been
and still is in training in the United
States and Canada and is trans
ported constantly by contingents to
the Western front.
Poland, for generations crushed
beneath the upper and neither mill
stones of Russian and German au-
tocracy, has famed steadily in tire
less, incessant but unaided rebellion.
At the outbreak of the war, again
ground exceeding small beneath the
fair promises Of both countries, Po-
land maintained the spirit Of her ma
tional ideals. Thirty thousand young
men died by hanging for refusing to
enlist in the German and Austrian
armies. Polish women, struggling to
keep foothold upon the land of
their fathers, battered and torn by
huctuating warfare which swept
backward and forward across the
plains they worship, clung desperate
ly to their children, doggedly prefer
ring to die with them by slow starva-
tion-which, after all, held the glory
of martyrdom-to selling them into
German slavery even for the vast
sums Of $3.50 marks for a boy and
100 marks for a girl" These terms
appeared recently in placards upon
the walls Of Warsaw, signed by Gov
ernor General Won Beseler.
