WAN AAS
This is the time of war and
the descendants Of heroic race
know but one thing the war must
be wont! TO that effect they are
doing everything within their pc
wer. They r gloriously dying in
the ranks of the American Army
for the residents Of the United
States. Those who have not re-
nounced Polish allgance claim in
silly to fight and die under their
own flag, to die in their own ar
my, for the glory Of their own
country, in the army which has
been created by France, rccogni-
zed by the United States and all
the united powrs, they claim the
right because the President Of the
Unitd States said that people can
not pass from one to another like
property.
But, my friends - and my alb
sent enemies. - if the war has to
be won, nothing like to favor or
to. assist the enemy should be to-
leratek. The assertion that we are
not capabl Of governing ourselves
are articles ''made in Germony'
intended for sowing discord in
our ranks and should b excluded
from ten American market. Their
are no factions among Poles in
