Gen. PilSudski said he hoped the
matter in issue between Poland and
the Czecho-lSlovaks would be settled
by diplomacy.
Asked if the other conflicts could
not be settled by negotiations he said
he did not think so.

POSSIBLY the Germans may accept

doubt whether, in spite of the ques-
ton of right, they will give up Po-
land without a struggle.'
Questioned as to what kind Of mill
taly organization he thought Poland
would need after the war was over,
Gen. Pi1sudski replied:
LAS you know, [ am a democrat.
After this war the nations will have
to change the nature of their mill
tary preparations. The present sys-
tenn cannot longer be maintained. The
peoples will not allow it. However,
no nation can remain defenseless. In
the western, highly developed coun-
tries. systems akin to the Swiss mill
tary system would suffice. With us
it could not, for two reasons. Our
railroads are SO few as compared with
those of Austria and Germany that
we could not, in case of war, rapidly
mobilize. Secondly many of our
people, due to the opposition to foreign
rule cannot read or write, and con-
| sequently they have not the educa-
| ton to make an effective militia.

New York, March 27.-Monk East

For years Monk Eastman was
New York's most notorious gang
leader. In armed battles he led his
clan against the Paul Kellys and the
Yakie-Yak Bradys. Men were fire.
quently killed in these conflicts, but
for a long time political pull saved
Eastman from prosecution. In 1904
he was sent to Sing Sing for ten
years for assaulting a drunken man.
He was pardoned after five years.
Though he announced then he was

Eastman again went to prison in
1915 for burglary. 1t was a few
weeks after his release that, in Octo-
Der, 1917, he enlisted.
Eastman did not want to miss any
of the big doings at the front. He
applied for transfer from the 106th
infantry to the Machine Gun bat
talon. He was complim by his
commander for bravery under fire.
When wounded in the left leg and
right hand, he crawled to a dugout
and helped a fallen comrade to safe
ty back of the lines.
When convalescing in a field hos
pital after he had been gassed, he
slipped out, clad in pajamas, managed
to get clothing and returned to the
trenches.
After the parade Tuesday Monk
led the east side delegation on pa
rade of its own. After the turnout
through the east side a feast was
served at Pistani's, kenmare and

Included in the souvenirs Monk
brought home were ten homing
