headquarters of war makers today.
Only. instead of the Kaiser. Hinden-
burg and Ludendorff launching
Ihunderbolts from their rendezvous,
1t was Marshal Foch. Field Marshal
Wilson and the allied military mis-
sions, debating how to make good
their threats to bludgeon Germany
into fulhllment of the amended
terms of the treaty of Versailles.
The talk among all missions to-
might related to bellicose measures,
the sequel of which many expect to
be the occupation of further Ger
man territory and to lead again to
the belching OF howitzers. the
F:crackle of machine guns, and the
humming of death-dealing aircraft.
Both Sides Firm.

The Versailles treaty provided for
the delivery of about 1os,0Oo tons

ALAS, POOR POLAND!

Two amazing things have devel.
oped in the Polish situation within
the last few days. They are the de-
cision Of the council of premiers at
Hythe, England, to defend the west
boundary" Of Poland, but not to send
any succor to the gallant armies that
are defending the new republic on
it's eastern boundary; and the state
nient Of Lloyd George before the
House Of Commons that the Poles are
In the wrong, anyway, and that the
allies had advised against the attack
on Russia.
The world has believed for several
ra0nths-and not an authoritative
line has been published to disabuse
its mind-that the allies were encour-
aging Poland, sending supplies, Offer
ing all possible assistance, and stand
Ing ready at a pinch to 60 to its re.
lief with all the force necessary
Yet, according to these developments,
the government of England holds that
the Poles are at fault, and Its only
concern is to see that Germany does
not take advantage OF the situation
to grab Polish territory.
In the meantime, what is to be-
come Of the land of Kosciusco in the
situation thus startlingly revealed?
II can not hold the red Russians in
check. Its capital is doomed, and its
fields are already being laid waste
Without help from without it must
be overrun. Its newly formed insti-
tutions must be destroyed, and its
territory become the prey of the Boil
sheviki. True, its western boundary
will be taken care Of. 1t will be q
sanitary Gordon to keep back the
tide of Boslhevism, But Poland will
be on the wrong side of the Gordon,
and submerged by the tide.
But who really believes that this
rsanitary Gordon will be defended
any better than the eastern line OF
Poland? The same reasons. which
can only be guessed at, which have
prevented the allies from going to
the rescue of Poland. will prevent
them from acting when the Russian
monster. elevated by its victory to
the position of the worlds greatest
military power, shall decide to ex-
tend its dominions farther west. The
failure to check the forcible spread
OF Bolshevism in Europe may eventu-
ally be set down as calamity to
civilization as great as would have
been the victory OF the Huns in the
world war.
