Poles Have Cast OFF
All Russian Influence;
Warsaw a Quiet City
Poland Is OF Che west.

Poland is OF the west.
Russian rule has never been able to
change that fact. But it is more ap-
parent in the activities Of the people
since the setting up Of the new Polish
government that it was before.
The influence of Italian art and
architecture, dating back to the thir-
tsenth century is evident In many of
the old houses of Warsaw. Polish
kings had q fondness for Italian archi-
tects and painters.
The massive Greek church which
Russia built on the highest point in
Warsaw Is to be torn down. 1t clashes
with the graceful lines Of the old
Polish palaces.
In their daily life the Polish much
resemble the English. Most Of the
educated classes speak English. War
saw has its little theatre in which the
plays Of Shaw and Glasworthy and
Oscar Wilde are given. There is even
q Futurist club under the European
hotel.
Cooking and service are better than
IN English restaurants.
Marrow streets and cobblestone
pavsments resemble some of the Eng
HGh towns and the working women in
the bright cOlored headsmawls re-
mind one Of the girls Of Lancashire.
Tho Warsaw is under martial law
hardly q policeman is to be seen, for
most Of them have Joined the army
A military patrol is on duty at night
and during the way the city Of nearly
q million inhabitants practically pO-
Ices itself. Yet there is almost no
disorder.
German uniforms taken by hun
dreds when the GeH1nans evacuated
are worn by the Polish soldiers, but
the Polish eagle has replaced the in
signia Of the German.

Germans Are Ready to
Go After World Trade
Commercial Representatives VIII
Flock to All Parts Of World
When Peace Comes

New York, June 27.-It is q serious
mistake to suppose that the loud and
persistent protests Of the Germans
against the terms of the Peace Treaty
have been occupying all Of their time
these last lew weeks, or that they
have been, since the signing Of the
armistice last November, lazily mop
ing in dread Of the dire penalties to
be inflicted by the Allies. On the con-
trary, not only during this period but
long before the war closed prepara-
tions were going on throughout all
Germany for the great struggle for
world trade which they clearly fore
saw at the end Of the war; and the
moment the Peace Treaty is signed
and the barriers are removed against
German foreign trade, thousands Of
Germans will flock to all parts Of the
world, with samples Of superior quail
tiy and with offers for speedy delivery
ut highly favorable terms, from the
enormous stocks Of goods which have
accumulated during the war.
Then too, while there is every evi-
dence that the German people are
deeply resentful because Of the peace
of force" which has been thrust upon
them, and will look forward with Gag
er anticipation to an opportunity to
avenge themselves, there will be no
evidence of this feeling either in the
appearance or the manner Of the Ger
man commercial representatives who
scour the world for trade; they will
be, to all appearances, meek and mild
and humble, the very antithesis Of the
popular conception Of the Hun. At
first, especially among the people Of
the Allied and Associated countries,
there will be, no doubt, a disposition
on the part Of many-tO discriminate
against German-made goods; however
this feeling has already greatly mod
Grated and is likely soon to disappear
altogether. And, almost before we
reaizel it, the world will be using Ger
man-made goods as extensively, and
perhaps more extensively, than ever.
While Germany lost the Great War,
her people have lost none of their
scientific skill and cleverness in manu-
facture and trade-indeed their ca
pacity and power in this direction has
been greatly increased as a result Of
the industrial activities Of millions of
women and children during the last
five years, most Of whom will doubt
less continue as effective industrial
units; and just as Germany, in this
late war, was able to fight the whole
world almost to standstill because Of
her science, her aggressiveness, and
her preparedness, so she is likely 70
wage-and possibly with an even
greater measure Of success - her
worldwide trade war.

Although the program for Saturdays

the matter in charge is not quite ready

The movement apparently is gaining

The laying Of emphasis on the fact
that planters who disregard the inter

acreage will be considered ''slackers,'
is also appealing to many. The igno-
