locked for now that have been made for the
early transfer of the Polish legion from France to Poland
Gen. Hallcrs forces numbering about $4,000 men, will
begin to move about April l5 and the transfoer will be-
completed in two months Marshal Foch has imposed his
will upo nthc reluctant enemy and will send the Polish
troops through Danzg as we'll through Other ports and
yb rail- The moral effect upon the Polish people ought
to be excellent when they learn that the allies have not
yielded to Germany in the Danzig question: Now if the
peace conferees will be firm Marshal Foch and re-
store Danzg to the Poles without any conditions what

Another country that peculiarly needs the assistance
of the allied powers at this time is Roumana The Mag

Hungary's neghbors concerned. All Magyars unite
in hatred of Roumanans, when fighting among them
