realizing that the moment was
grave one, did not sound the call
for revolution, Weltner replied:
1T is easy for you Entente peo-
pie 10 talk revolution in Germany
and Austria, especially at this mo-
ment when our governments are at
the height of their military ard po-
litical prestige There viii be no
revolution in the Central Empires
until Germany is defeated in the
field. Moreover. what assurance
have we that after we make the
revolution the Entente governments
will not pouncc upon us and crush
Us? We cannot afford to make a
revolution while you simply sit by
and applaud. The question is, What
are you going to do?
Weltner's fears anenr the VIC
tory Of Germany were not realized,
but his statement that there would
be no revolution in the Central En-
pires until Germany is defeated in
the field was borne out by history.
And in that revolution--as far as
his own country is concerned--the
modest and vivacious labor leader
and editor seems to be playing an
important part. Little did the
writer think that he would play that
part when he bade him goodby at
the railway station at Stockholm as
Weltner was preparing TO catch a
train for Berlin and Budapest.

The Consulate Here

The consulate has been established
III an old brownstone house in 40
West Fortieth Street. There each
day go at least 200 Poles, including
few women, who, wishing to return
to Poland, want passports; or, If they
are American citizens, to have the
consul wise their papers. Not more
than one-third of these applicants
are permitted to go. Only those are
approved who are seeking to return
to relieve the distress of relatives
made destitute by the war or who
possess idle land in Poland that
would not be worked unless they did
return. All others are told to wait.
Another important phase of the
work of the consulate is that of try
ing to find trace of families in the
old country who have not communi-
Gated with their relatives in Amer
lea for several years. In many in
stances these people lost their lives
either in an invasion by Germans
or Russians. Then there are others,
most Of them working people who
desire to transfer money to relatives
in Poland. The consulate arranges
daily for the transfer to Poland of
ohor+ COO OOO
In addition experts are engaged in
gathering information concerning
the supplies here of agricultural i'm
plements, railroad supplies, shoes,
clothes, dyestuifs, chemicals and
countless other items of trade of
which Poland stands in need.
Then, most important. Consul
Buszczynski is arranging the cres-

senting all Of the important
Allied armies Constantin Buszczyn-
ski was inaugurated a week ago last
Thursday as Consul General for
Poland in the United States. He
thus became the first representative
of his country ever accredited to the
United States, for Poland lost her
freedom and was partitioned shortly
before the United States gained in
dependence.
Consul General Buszczynski is q
white-haired, blue-eyed, ruddy-com-
plexioned individual, who looks pre-
cisely what he is--a country gentle
man of the Old World who has spent
much Of his interesting life in the
open air He was born in 1856 at
Nemiercze, government of Podolia.
His father was Stephan Buszczynski,
an historian and social philosopher,
author of the work LA Decadence
de Europe" and many other i'm
portant studies.
The consul generals distinguished
father took an active part in the
Polish revolt against Russia in 1868,
and with many other Polish patriots
was forced to flee to save his skin
and to live in exile for many years
The consul was then only seven
years old, and he was fourteen be-
fore he again saw his father, this
time in Dresden, SaXony. In Ores
den the consul was educated, first at
the high school and afterward at
the Polytecnicum. He then went to
Riga and pursued the study of agri-
culture, graduating from the tech
nical and agricultural branch of the
university there.
After his graduation Mr.. Busz-
czynski returned to his native heath
and took over his fathers land
estate, ruined through the revolu-
tion and the prolonged absence Of
the owner. The young man, however,
applied to the cultivation Of his
acres all that he had learned Of
scientific farming, and in 1886
started for the first time in Poland
a modern, scientific breeding of the
sugar beet seed.
This enterprise grew rapidly and
with time became the most i'm
portant breeding concern in Eastern
Europe, and consequently a strong
competitor of German breeding
houses, until then undisputed mas
ters Of the worlds seed markets.

4 Final Effort

Weltner arrived in Stockholm on
bitterly cold day and rushed i'm
mediately to the Office of the In
ternationale Socialist Bureau to see
Camille Huysmans. the secretary.
His object in coming 20 see Hugs
mans was to have some measures
taken to counteract the effect Of the
peace negotiation between Ger
many and the Bolsheviki and, if
possible, to stop them. AS he put
it to the writer:
The Brest-Litovsk negotiations
have put an end to the hope Of a
democratic general peace in Europe.
If they are allowed to reach the
elimination desired by Germany it
means the end Of democratic Eu-
rope and particularly our own hope
of democratic reforms in AUSTRIA
Hungary and Germany. Our inn
peralists are walking about in
greater pride and self-confidence
than ever before. in expectation OF
routing Russia at Brcst-L .tovsk and
of finishing the Allies on the West
front. The Allies better get busy
and start movement for general
peace negotiations. If not they
will receive blows next spring from
which they will never recover"
1t was WeltNer's idea that the
Stockholm conference scheme be re-
vived and that the laborites Of all
countries get together and present
plan for general peace to the
belligerent governments. Weltnef

many was on the verge Of victory.

Mr.. Buszczynski was appointed con-

which shelters several millions of his
