authority of the self-styled council
of Flanders, this threat was not car

An Idea Comes
Out of the West

From a training camp in the Mid
die West where harassed officers are
struggling with some thirty-odd ma
tionalities and as many languages, the
germ of an idea came into existence in
the mind of a high ranking officer.
Watching with absorption the phleg-
matte or overenthused activities of his
motley official family, he caught one
day the CLEAN Of that diving fire"
which is Slavonia.
On gusty night, walking alone
among the outposts of the camp, turn
ing in his mind the thousand perplcxi-
ties of the day, he heard voice in the
darkness, singing softly but with in
tense fervor. The officer paused. The
strain was wild and gypsy-like, with a
curious martial beat, and the words
were cultural and unintelligible. Verse
after verse poured forth. rhythmic and
monotonous, fraught with a tremen-
dous intensity. The singer paused sud-
denly as though interrupted, his song
broken off in midair. The officer stepped
forward and saw crouched at the
edge of the camp, close to the barbed
wire Enclosure. slender, boyish figure
which sprang erect as he approached.
There in the darkness the officer asked
a question or two and was answered
quietly and directly.
Who was the singer and what his
nationality? He was Serb from Aus
tria.
What was he singing? What, indeed,
but an extemporaneous poem which re-
counted the deeds of his great an
cestors.
And who were his ancestors? Great
Serbian heroes, sir, who fought for the
freedom Of the Slav against Turk and
Teuton in the Dast-oh, very long ago.

The Slav Note
Brings an Answer

One man, practically ignorant Of
the English language, enlisted because
he had gathered the impression that
the cause which America had espoused
was the cause of his own freedom. Ar
irving at training camp and being
promptly classed with the enemy aliens
whom he hated and despised, he aban-
doned a particularly offensive round of
kitchen police and in "unbeftting
terms" addressed his commanding off,
GER. He declared wildly that he had
entered the army to fight, not to slave
in kitchen, and that he desired most
earnestly to be sent to France, Italy,
anywhere, Immediately, and thus be
removed from the hateful society of
his fellow soldiers, who happened to be
of most pronounced pro-German ten
denotes. When reprimanded for insub-
ordinate conduct he retired, to suffer
acutely, but not in silence. He wrote
at random to everyone he knew de-
scribng the cruel injustice of his posi-
ton, which, needless to say, was not
apparent to his commanders, overtaxed
as they were with the strain of trim
ming to the rigid olive drab confines
of the service the variegated and very
raw material in hand. The age-old
wrongs of hot-hearted Slavic patriot,
while forming the essential leaven Of
the loaf of Slavic emancipation, failed
to impress the military authorities as
unusual, and his periodical protests,
arriving invariably with his tour of
kitchen police, were hastily classed
with the other unintelligible COM
plants which reached their ears daily
in some thirty-five languages.
New-York tribune. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1866-1924, 1918-06-09

But suddenly, over and above them
all. sounded the clarion note which dis
tinguished the Slavic cry for freedom
as of deeper, more intensely national
origin than the lesser wailings Of the
usual, disconnected foreigner. 1t came
and soupded through the sleeping camp
on the eve of the Orthodox Christmas,
about the 10th of January. 1t was
muf1ed rife shot. A startled investi-
eating party found him, stretched upon
his own weapon, which he had turned
upon himself in the desperate convic-
ton that his technical status as the
alien enemy both of his own people and
of the service in which he had enlisted
would forever bar him from that active
service overseas upon which his hfe's
whole interest hung.
The sound of that shot hes pene-

By Caroline Dawes Appleton

of its members are, through a techni-
cality of citizenship, outcast and adrift
from the very cause for which they beg
to be allowed to fight. By very reason
of their former serfdom beneath leu
tonic rule, large percentage of Slavic
draftees in the National Army and en-
listed men of the regular service are
technically classed as "enemy aliens"
and perforce treated accordingly. With
those enemy aliens of avowed PROF. Ger
man tendencies the madly patriotic
Slav is cast into the ranks of the dis
loyal and denied active service on any
front.
RELOCATED to the non-combatant
branches of the service, jeered at and
ridiculed by his pro-German CO.
workers, entirely misunderstood in his
frantic protestations to be allowed a
gun and something to shoot at, the ar
dent Slavic patriot works and per-
functorily trains in gloomy depres-
sion. And all the while his heart flames
with the wild hope that he may some
day join the golden ranks of those
heroes whose names Slavonia reveres.
The petty differences Of factional
politics which the world arbitrarily
associates with Slavic uprisings are
sunk in the vital spirit of fraternity in
suffering and oppression. A flag, a
government, a place for the sacred
archives of Slavic history and shelter
for the guarded fame of national indie
pendence are the dream Of each and
every Slav. Whether laboring uncom-
prehendingly and misunderstood in the
non-combatant sections of an Allied
army, whether chatting beneath the en-
forced trappings of an Austrian uni
form, or bound with the thraldom of
Poland, the Slav sees only the star of
his races freedom and his hatred of
the Teuton foe. Here, it would seem,
is fighting material for something
more organized, more co0rdinated,
more vast than merely a foreign
legion.
New-York tribune. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1866-1924, 1918-06-09
One Slav Body
Opposes the Plan

The one Slavic organization which is
opposing the organization of Slavic
iegions is the Polish National Defence
Committee, which was organized in
1912 for the purpose of aiding the
movement for independent Poland
From the first, funds were forwarded
to Joseph Pilsudski, now General PHI
sudskl, heading the Polish Legions, for
the maintenance of military schools IN
Poland organized by him.
Pilsudski used the money for the
formation of secret military schools
for the training of officers, and when
the present war started he headed q
small army. Since the great fight OF
roland was directed against Russian
autocracy, the Polish Legions, with
General Pllsudski as their commander
greeted their attention to fighting
Russia. When the Russian revolution
overthrow the Gear, General Pilsudsn!i
refused to fight Russia. AS a result
the Germans imprisoned him in the
Fortress of Magdeburg, together WITH
10000 men of his army.
The committee anticipated the sI-
trance of the United States into the
world war" said DR.. B. D. Kulakovski'
editor Of "Wici," official organ of the
Polish National Defence COMMITTEES.
For this reason we did not ally our,
selves politically either with Gres,
britain or with France. We opposeo
the formation of Polish military units
OF on the side Of the Allies, or in TIE
United States. An army is one OF the
attributes of the sovereignty of sta"
and is the force guaranteeing the inde'
pendence of nation. 1t is in the ID.
terest of Poland that the United Ststes
be militarily strong and efficient. fhs
splitting up Of the uniform militsu
organization of the United States ln.e
Italian, Greek, Polish, Armenian, Syr''
an or Jewish armies would be tanss-
moant to complete chaos.
Those who wanted to serve reae,
tionary political ends, who denouneeo
Pilsudski and his followers as Pras
sian mercenaries, must now admn
their error. The only belligerent g
American soil is the Government OF sns
United States. We urged all the mem
Ders OF our committee, and there A.
over 10000 of them, at the time q M
entrance of this country into the W.
to prove by their acts that the fosss
IN America are conscious of their eg Avn
toward this country and of the tonss
tradition of fighting for our ana -
freedom

The Old Mistake
Was Made Again

They understood this time. Under
the suppressed laughter of a hundred
odd of their more Americanized fell
lows, the handful of Poles, Czechs and
AustroSerb looked at each other sui
lenly and morosely. The old mistake
had been made again. In that silent
exchange Of glances they picked their
leader. After drill he approached his
commander respectfully.
