POLAND HAS NEED OF IMPLEMENTS OF
 WAR IMMEDIATELY
Gen. Pilsudsky Suggests Material In France Be
 Sent To Poland.

Warsaw, Thursday, March 27.-I "We have men and officers, but no uniforms, rifles, munitions or artil- lery." said General Pilsudski, pro- visional head of the Polish state, m an interview here today with the American press representative of the American Mission to Poland.
 Poland" continued the general, "it attacked on three sides and can not protect herself without technical war material which she is not yet equipped for manufacturing.
 General Pilsudski said he was grateful to the allies, especially Am erica. from whom Poland had re- ceived something definite-food. Asked how many men he would need to equip the general answered: "That is difficult to say. Our na- tion in some sections having not par ticipated directly as a combatant in the war, we have many young men who were not drafted in the Ger man, Austrian or Russian armies and therefore have not yet fought I should say we might need to equip 5OO,OOO men. Much material in France that the allies have no more need for, might we'll be spared for us. America has guns, ammunition, airplanes and automobile truck which she will not transport back to Am erica. These equipments would be of l infinite value to us."
 Can Protect Selves.
 Questioned as to whether the Pol ish army equipped, the various at tacks on Poland could be repelled So as to produce permanent peace, gen. eral Pilsudski replied:
 I believe so. Our army would be superior in morale. The German ar my now is demoralized.
 1 When men have lost faith in the leadership of their generals, theil spirit has been broken and they nc longer obey their officers properly.
 "The Ukrainians again are super for to us now in equipment, but they are organized by former officers o1 the Austrian army. They may be ca pablo of certain defensive fighting behind trenches, but they are inca pable of offensive fighting. The Uk rainian army is superior to us II equipment today because it has tht arms and ammunition which the Aus trians and Germans left in grea profusion.
 "The bolsheviki, our third enemy have always conquered by destroyin, the morale of the troops opposed t them. They have negotiated with tn soldiers of the enemy and when tn day of battle came the generals op posing the bolsheviki forces hav' found themselves deprived of tn support of their men.
 No Fear of BOlshevism.
 "The impetuous patriotism of tn Polish troops will be unaffected b. bolshevik talk On the contrary, ther were many Poles in the bolshevik ar my who joined it to escape starva tion. These men, know, will com over to us. Today the bolshevik them selves are superior to us, since the have the arms and munitions of Rus : sia and also those which were ob . tained from the Germans. When W
 are properly equipped we will hay
 little difficulty in defeating the bol r sheviki.
 General Pilsudski said he hope
 the matter in issue between Polan and the Czecho- -Slovaks would be set tie by diplomacy.
 Questioned as to what kind of , military organization Poland woul need after the war was over, Ger eral Pilsudski replied:
 "In the western, highly develope 5 countries, system akin to the Swis X military system would suffice. Wit . us it could not, for two reasons. Gu railroads are so few as compare !, with those of Austria and German V that we could not, in case of wal
 rapidly mobilize. Secondly, many o
 our people, due to the opposition t foreign rule, cannot read or write '' and consequently they have not tn v education to make an effective mil | tia."
