POLAND NEEDS HELP.

London, Dec. I6. (By Mail. -
Something must be done for Poland
according to Poles in London. Sit
uated between revolutionary Ger
many and revolutionary Russia, the
newly freed people of Poland are in
precarious situation. While 1t Is
claimed the country has suffered
greater devastation through the war
than any other country, it has been
impossible for the outside world to
SEND aid, neither Germany nor Rus
sia offering a satisfactory channel.
Now that the port Of Danzig Is open
relief can be sent by sea direct.
When Russia, Austria and Ger
many finally ceased fighting back
and forth across Poland they had
laid waste approximately 10000
square miles, equal to the combined
areas of New York, Pennsylvania,
and New Jersey. In the Austrian
zone of occupation alone more than
100000 buildings were destroyed,
Notwithstanding the occupied coun-
try was chiefly agricultural. Live
stock worth $40,0O0,000 was carried
off in the first two years. In the
German zone 81 per cent of all the
horses were taken lin the Austrian
zone, 58 per cent.
The result is that prices now are
practically prohibitive. A farmer
wishing to cultivate his land must
pay fifteen times the pre-war price
for a horse.
In Cracow the price of bread is
thirty times the pre-war price and
the same Is true of fats.
Heretofore funds collected for Po-
lish relief have been utilized in help
ing Poles outside their own country.
Now that a way has been opened,
London Poles are seeking to enlist
the worlds help in order that Poland
may not be caught in either the

that threatening on the west

NORWAY HAS POT OF
GOLD FOR PRESIDENT
(By United Press. J

Christiana, Norway, Dec 10. (By
Mail. )-While President Wilson is
visiting in Europe, he should run up
here and get his gold medal and his
$4,000, Scandiayians say.
The awarding Of the Nobel peace
prize to President Wilson in Chris
tiana in due form would give the
Norwegian government great plea
sure. Besides, one of the conditions
of the award is that the recipient
come to Christiana and deliver an
address on peace. Right now, GUS
todians of the Nobel fund are said
to hold, would be the best time Of
all for President Wilson to deliver
an address on peace.
When President Roosevelt was
awarded the prize the condition re-
lating to the address in Christiana
was waived on account of the presi-
dents duties in Washington. But
in Wilson's case it is believed the
commission in charge of awarding
the prize would consider that the
president could find time while on
his European trip to step up here
and receive the medal and the $780,
600 in person.
Alfred Bernhard Nobel, Swedish
scientist, left a fortune of $S,000,-
900, interest on which he stipulated
should be expended each year in pro-
viding awards for the five persons
contributing most valuable work in
advancing medicine, physics, ideal
istic literature, chemistry, and the
promotion Of peace Elihu Root and
Theodore Roosevelt are the Ameri-
cans who have won the peace prize.
Not all of the five prizes are awarded
every year, because trustees of the
fund spend so much of the income
for administrative purposes that
there is not enough left to provide
prizes of suitable size.
However, the Scandinavians are of
opinion that $4,000 and a gold
medal ought to be sufficient induce
ment to bring the president north
during his stay in Europe.
