objective of present operations OF the
,, army of 10000 armed Poles. Though
they are without any direct WORD
about the purpose of the maneuvers
Of the last forty-eight hours. two pos
sible explanations are offered.
One is that the Polish forces are
working down through Breslau in an
effort to get to Cracow. where recent
bolshevik' activities indicate that the
Polish occupants need reinforcements.
The second explanation is that the
Poles reported to be advancing
toward Berlin are really bolshevik
troops who have assumed the Polish
name.
Members of the Polish Associated
Press in Washington, who represent
the free Poland movement IN tne

the statements that the Polish efforts
are directed toward entry into Berlin.

Czechs Render Assistance.

The Polish army gained some of
its equipment and ammunition from
the Czecho-Slovaks some time ago.
The Czechs rendered this assistance
because Of their friendship for Po-
land In entering Posen the Poles
also captured considerable munitions.
Difficulties of keeping order in Po-
land have been added to. it was point
ed out, by the half million or more re-
leased prisoners of war, mostly Ger
mans, who now are pouring through
Poland on their way to Germany. In
addition. it is estimated that about
500. 900 Poles who were forced to
work in Germany now are returning
to Poland. without employment, and
they are the sources Of further dis
|turbances.
Both Posen and Breslau. Of course.
are within the present limits Of Ger
man territory, but they lie in what Is
known as German Poland, which Po-
land hopes to make part OF the nsw
Poland. Cracow-is p Polish city, with
in the limits Of Russian Poland.
Poles in Washington frankly admit
their concern about the settlement
Of Poland's affairs at the peace con-
ference. They emphasize the state
ments Of President Wilson that a free
Poland is one Of the accepted prin-
ciples of the peace settlement. But
similar assurances have not been
forthcoming FROM allied powers.

Attempt "Inconceivable."

.It is uncomfortable that the Poles
would attempt such a movement as
entry into Berlin" said John F.
Smuiski; head of the Polish organiza-
ton here prom a purely military
standpoint the proposal is ridiculous
Poland's loyal troops have had all
they could do to protect such cities as
Lemberg and wilma against German
and bolsheviki incursions. 1t is not at
all likely that, with forces scarcely
able to hold their own against the
bolsheviki. they would deplete these
forces to start on a wild goose chase
toward Berlin.
Germany would be mighty glad to
put Poland in the position OF break
ing the armistice terms"
It was pointed out also that the
presence Of Paderewski in Posen ana
his proposed conference with German
officials further discounted the theory
that the Poles are marching on Ber-

Press dispatches refer to fighting IN
the vicinity Of Breslau, which Is al

Posen, and this was cited as further
proof that Poles may be headed to-
ward Breslau, on their way to Cra-
COW, rather than toward Berlin.
