The Messiah Of
Poland

In the smoking room, in the library, NJ
Paderewski, whenever he comes, is al
ways the centre of polite attention from
the distinguished men on board, and
there are distinguished men of all Allied
nations on board-men of large affairs,
military men, diplomats, scientists and
scholars Sharing with Paderewsl.i in
this attention is Poland. Everybody on
board this small floating world is talking
Poland and the Polish question, and
Bartholomew Atlas, in the steamers
library, is constantly in demand Men
are scanning it for such cities as Cracow
and Lemberg Memel and kahsch,
And M. Iwanowski, who was a we'll
known artist in New York before he
put on the uniform of Polish lieutenant
as military aid to PaderewslSi, watches
this sudden interest in Poland on the
part of all on the boat and is happy.
He speaks of Paderewski in a voice that
combines the love of father for a child
and the reverence of faithful pupil for
his great master.
"Paderewski," Lieutenant Iwanowski
has been telling me for the fourth or
fifth time, as if DESTROYS to impress that
point beyond the chance of it being for
gotten, sis not a politician. Politics is
the kitchen where nations diet is pre-
pared. Paderewski is the soul of our
nation. He is the Messiah of Poland
You must grasp this distinction we'll He
is spiritual leader, great moral force.
You must not measure him with the
yardstick with which you measure ordi-
nary social reformers"
These words of Lieutenant Iwanowski
in way give the cue for the study and
estimate of Paderewski. I found it out
when | asked him what sort of SETTLE
rnent Of the Polish question he looked for.
he spoke in big outlines. Details did not
worry him; they would take care of
themselves.
There can be but one settlement of
the Polish question: just settlement"
Paderewski said, and his restless gray
eyes became narrowed into fixed, steel
like gaze. "Any but just settlement
Will not be a settlement of the Polish
question. And if the Polish question is
not settled now and forever, the war;
with its appalling sacrifices, has been in
vain--a failure. A just settlement Of
the Polish question means a strong Po-
land, not small Polish state of the
roiish territory which was held by Rus
sia prior TO this war, but Polish state
embracing all Polish territory in Gem
tral Europe, union Of Russian, Ger
man and Austrian Poland. Such a state
must include within it's boundaries the
Kingdom of Poland lin Russia), Galicia.
West Prussia (Danzig), part Of East
Prussia (Allenstein), the province Of
Posen, upper Silesia, Austrian Siles;a
(Teschen), the Polish districts Of the
present government OF Grodno (Bielsk,
Bielostok) and Lithuania, the latter
an autonomous nation within the Polish
state. Such Polish state will have q
population Of 40,000,000."

Paderewski and His Policies for the Presidenc-

industries are yet undeveloped Our
problem in this field is rather to get
foreign capital to develop Industry in
Poland, to establish factories, and to
call into life the vast natural resources
of the country. There is great oppor-
tunity in Poland for enterprise, and as
Tar as | am concerned, l should gladly
see American capital help Poland in its
economic development. We certainly
don't want German capital to help us
in the development of our resources
and in the building up of our indus
tries"
There are about six million Jews liv-
ing in the territory which, before the
war, was Russian and Austrian in Po-
land and which Paderewski would now
include in the new Poland. What would
the attitude of the new Poland be to
the Jews?
Paderewski was most willing to talk
on these questions, not only in behalf
of the Polish people, but personally. in
behalf of himself. Much had been said
and even written about Paderewski
being unfriendly to Jews. He disavowed
this with sincerity and sadness. 1t was
painful, he said, to be misrepresented on
so grave a matter.
There is practically no Jewish ques-
ton in Poland" the pianist leaned
closer across the table, as if to put
great weight into his words. 'As for me
personally, I have never looked upon
the Jews of Poland as other than Poles
of the Mosaic faith. For 800 years the
Jews had lived in POLAND. The first
charter granted them was in, the year
1896 in the city Of Kalisch. However
attached to their ancestral faith, which
is the Roman Catholic religion, the
Poles have been the most tolerant of all
the nations Of Europe. Religious free
dom has always been one of the funda-
mentals in the Polish constitution. and
the Jews of Poland have enjoyed relipi-
Gus freedom in Poland as they have no.

ropes darkest days. On the other hand.

COmpehtiOn

L OF elSnC centuries the Jews have
formed practically the merchant class
of Poland, thus forming a part of the
Polish middle class. The Polish mobiles
were too absorbed in political strug-
giles and in war, on the one hand. and
were deferred by custom, perhaps, on
the other, from engaging in commerce.
The peasants were too primitive to de-
velop commercial or middle class of
their own. The Jews filled in the gap.
They are the commercial element par
excellence. They had and have a def
mite place in Poland's social structure.
Since early in the nineteenth GEN.
fury middle class has been arising
from among the Poles. There is now
an ever increasing number of Polish
business men. Here and there competi-
ton arises between Pole and Jew, just
as competition arises between Jew and
Jew in the business world or between
Gentle and Gentle. | do not know of
any instances where this business COM
petition has gone over into race an
tagonism of it's own accord.
There never has been a poeronl in
Poland. And if in isolated and rare in
stances something resembling feud has
arisen between Jews and Poles. such a
feud was without exception melted
either by Russian or German agents for
some definite and sinister purpose. Thus
1t is known to me personally that in
1906, after the Kishinev massacre. six
OF the ringleaders of the pogrom in that
city were dispatched by Russian officials
to Warsaw, with instructions to foster
an anti-Jewish agitation there. | sup
pose it suited the purpose of autocracy
to start pogroms at the time as an anti
dote to the revolutionary movement.
Well, what these hooligans could
achieve in kishinev they could not
achieve in Warsaw. They were not taken
seriously, even by the lowest clements.
There was no pogrom at Warsaw.
Here is another instance of how the
Russian government sought to antago-
nize the Poles against the Jews. About
two years ago on a great Polish holiday
a religious procession passed through
the streets of Warsaw Church digni-
taries were in the procession Crowds
mounting into tens of thousands lined
the streets. Suddenly, at the height of
the ceremonial, heavily bearded Jew
broke through the crowd, ran UP to
the priest, spat at the sacrament, and
with lightning rapidity began breaking
through the crowd to make his getaway.
Had this man succeeded in escaping I
don't know but what Warsaw might
that day have had pogrom not unlike
that of Kishinev, but fortunate thing
appened-fortunate for the Jews and

River Vlstula, Polish river. until now
tributary to Germany, takes on new
life. 1t connects directly with the Bal
tic. 1t links Poland with the world. It
is the greatest stimulus to Polish COM
merce and industry.
"On the other hand, see what happens

with no direct avenue to the ocean.
Poland is then once more dependent
upon its two principal neighbors, Rus
STA and Germany. Russia is torn by in
ner strife and civil war, and for gen.
Grafton or two will itself be HELPLESS.
Poland, therefore, must turn to Ger
many for help. For geographical ad-
vantage is on Germany's side. She is
nearer to Poland than England. nearer

Poland means a strong Germany. 1t
means that Germany's old diplomacy
and cunning have triumphed. German
diplomacy before the war with regard
to Central Europe in a nutshell was
this: 1t wanted Central Europe, from
the Baltic to the Black Sea on the east
and to the Adriatic Sea on the west, to
be divided into small, weak states, having
their own petty kings, but taking their
civilization fboi

Poland controlled by Germany A strong

world-and Germany loses its option on

What will be your immediate pro-
gramme in London, Paris, or wherever
you are going to establish your head
quarters during the peace conference?"
l asked
"Simpe," he replied. "When our
party left New York we had word that
provisional Polish government had
been established. The Marconi wireless
on board stated the other morning that
the Poles have taken Lemberg. Polish
troops are opposing the Ukrainians and
the Germans. All signs thus indicate
that this provisional government in
Poland commands the confidence of the
people. We shall ask that in the first
place the Allied governments recognize
this Polish provisional government.
Once it is recognized, the provisional
government will be entitled to send
delegates to the peace conference, to
the peace table, where the new Poland
will be carved out"
"And the step after that?" asked.
This takes us beyond the peace confer
ence. We must suppose that the status
of the Polish state will have been def
nitely decided upon internationally. The
next step therefore will be purely ma
tional-the calling of constituent as
selnbly to adopt a constitutions
What sort Of Poland are you look
ing forward to--republican or mon

Paderewski opened his eyes wide and
looked at me quizzically and then came

HOW TO BE A CAPITALIST.
Even Small Savings May As Tn,
Foundation Of a Fortune.

Do You want to BE- . capitalist!
It's easy.
Hartley Withers in his authorita-
tive textbook Poverty and Waste"
says that Capital is defined by
economists as wealth set aside to be
used in production. A certain amount
of II is. necessary before any indus
try can begin its work; because in
,dustry impaies making or growing
something. and, during the process
of making or growing, those who are
at work have to be kept alive out Of
store that has ben set aside
beforehand to that end. Professor
Walkers well known example is that
of member Of savage tribe, living
precaIiously on fish caught from the
rocks which jut into the sea, who
lays up a store of dried fish, and
keeping himself alive thereon, makes
himself canoe, and thereafter can
paddle in it out to the banks which
lie two or three miles from shore.
where in one day he can get as many
hSh do ho COulu SdtCn liOIh OA lhC
rocks in week.
His store Of dried fish was his
capital, which he reserved from con-
sumption and kept to live on while
making his canoe. Having done so,
he has put his capital into canoe
and can let it out to his neighbors,
taking payment from them In the
form OF part OF their catch, on which
he can live. while he himself builds
more canoes and sells them In ex-
change for the labor of the rest of
the tribe. The point at which he left
OF being a mere hand-to-mouth work.
err and consumer and became CAPT
talist, was when, instead Of eating
all the fish that he caught, he saved
some and dried them 80 that he
might be kept alive while he carried
out his canoe building venture. AT
every step Of it's progress says
Walker again. capital follows one
law. 1t arises solely out of savings. 4"
Every man, woman and child can
lay aside a part Of the proceeds Of
his labor, beyond what is necessary
for his present maintenance, ana
thus start on the road to capital.

MERCHANTS ENCOURAGE
WISE SPENDING
% Home Sewing Provided For.

Dry goods merchants in every part
Of the country report radical changes
in their customers buying habits, due
to war experience. People seek
sound values in clothes. There is no
disposition to be parsimonious, or
shabby, but women are judging gar
ments by wearing quality, They no
longer purchase short-life gowns or
fabrics for the sake of snowy ap
pearance. Thrift has brought in a
new fashion era-Quiet models which
will be in style several seasons in
stead of the one-season creation"
The merchants are cutting down
wasteful methods in their stores, and
eliminating supertiuous service, un-
wise credits, improbable deliveries
and other happy -go-lucky, hit-or-
miss extravagances for which the
public had to pay.
Another interesting development
Is tie sale Of materials for home
sewing. One store seeks to interest
schoolgirls in making their own
dresses Prizes are offered for we'll
made garments; sewing instruction
is given in the store; suggestions are
made for the purchase Of material,
trimmings and patterns
Some stores MAKE up bundles con-
tanning all the requisites for a given
garment-the fabric and all findings
needed.
Money saved by this sort of wise
spending can be safely invested in
War Savings and Thrift Stamps.

SERVICE IN THE HOME
What is he Actual Cost Of Each
SerVant2

How many American housewives
understand the actual cost OF q maid?
In engaging a household helper the
average woman figures only on what
the maid asks as wages, The food
she eats. the light she uses, the dish
es she breaks and the material she
wastes are not considered. 1t would
be diffiuclt to figure such items cor
rectly, but the amount IS consider
able, because maid does not have
the interest of ownership to make
things go as far as possible. The
extra man about the place is also
worthy Of consideration as an item of
expense.
A housewife who is trying to econ
omize by doing her own work should,
at present prices, reckon at least SIS
per week for the items mentioned
Should she save SIS in wages, it will
be equivalent to $40 weekly.
Many woman is thus saving for a
future need, educat ton for the chill
dren, to own home, or some other
worthy object. OF course she invests
in War Savings Stamps, but does she
realize that from her savings as her
own home worker she could buy two
stamps where now she buys one?
She may wish to teach her little
daughter thrift, as well as household
duties. In that case, why not pay
her small wage for washing dishes
busting, etc. She could also teach
the child to invest a portion of the
sum. in Thrift Stamps, and thus bring
down the proyerbial two birds, teach,
ing usefulness and thrift.

the present year will be approximately
250, 900. With an estimated populati
Of 5000, 900 this gives proportion OF
one car for every thlrty-two inhabi-

habitants four. years ago., Statistics
have been compiled showing the occu-

that about 30 per cent Of all the cars
in use are owned by persons whose

Soldiers Reason for Not Shooting
Hare Was q Decided Reflection
on the Hun.


This tale comes from a soldier who
was one of the first Yanks to reach the
front:
A big, burly, good-humored chap was
with me on outpost duty and we were
lying liSening in wood where there
were several clumps Of underbrush
IN our neighborhood. We were think
ing Of another move forward when we
spied a large French hare running
straight toward us. He was coming
as directly as possible away from the
enemy lines.
Although there was no attack from
either side In progress at that mo-
ment, the desultory rattle Of some
machine gun and the occasional crack
Of a rife rendered 1t safe to try q
shot at any object without fear of
discovery.
"Hit him or I WILL" said I. Don't
shoot" was the answer, "the poor
beggar thinks he has better chance
for life coming over to us than he has
going in the Huns direction"
That bit of sentiment knocked me
cold and / could not stir the trigger.
The hare disappeared in the under
brush and felt convinced that his
sympsthies were with us. 1t would
have been different story had 1t been
the spiked cap of a Boche we had
sighted. ban .s s e H@

An echo Of the German sea raid

There on the coast Of Lord Howe is
land lies the wreck OF the Seeadler, Of
Atlantic fame two years ago. Accord

sold by auction by the French gov
eminent. Though her hull is badly
damaged the Seeadler's engines are in
good condition, and there is also o
large quantity of hawsers, tanks, and

was at one time the barque Pass OF

ture by the Germans the latter fitted
her out with powerful Diesel oil en-
gines of 100 horsepower.
