guarding the pass. She is not fighting
I'oland's fight; she is nor fighting for
territory or war sp0ils. She Is trying
to hold back the threatening terror.
1t is the duty of the world to come ia
her support generously. 1t is not
enough to help her with munitions and
army equipment. To keep up the
morale of the Polish army 1t is neces-

the Reds: the world will pay the price.
She Is starting her life as a nation.
BY her position in Europe she is called
upon to hold back the revolutionary
horde, the bOlshevik terror. In the

and organize her life. She needs
credit to do this. 1t is her crying
need. 1t must be forthcoming. Dol

If we can hold the bOlsheviks In
Russia and keep Europe free from this
menace. bolshevism will die a natural
death. In the meantime we should
adopt a policy and bend our energies
to carry ont that policy. Russia Is
