Something OF furore has been
caused among the 1000 Polish resi-
dents Of Wilmington by the inter
view printed in The Evening Journal
last Saturday with the Rev. John S.
Gulcz, pastor OF st. Hedwig's Polish
Catholic Church. who had just re-
turned from Europe.
Father Gulcz' gloomy views con-
cerning the conditions in Poland. and
especially his intlmation that the
Polish armies might be obliged TO
surrender 30 the BOlsheviki. caused
much surprise, TO say the least, COM
ing as they did on the heels Of the
tremendous success scored by the PO-
lish loan in Wilmington, and the en-
tertainment Of Prince Casimir LubO-
mirski, first Polish envoy 10 the
United States. Approximately 10000
OF the Polish loan bonds have been
subscribed to, virtually all by Poles
themselves.
On Tuesday night Group No. 1, Of
the Delaware Polish Beneficial So
ciety met In Modieska Hall, on Syca-
more street just or Maryland avenue.
10 was attended by about 800 MEM
bers, who unanimously adopted a
resolution calling upon the Polish
Citizens Committee 10 obtain either
a retractiOn or mobilization Of his
views from Father Gulcz.

resented every Polish society or or

Father Gulcz today said he would
lecture in Polish Hall, at 8 O'Clock
next sunday evening. lie will de.
scribe in detail what he saw during
his tour OF Europe and conditions In
Poland as he found them. He added
that he was very sorry his interview
