BERLIN, Oct. 6.-Revelations made
made by William Dittman concerning
the fate of 70 families of German
working men ard 120 German in
du3trial workers, who migrated from
Germany to soviet Russia in the hope
OF finding a socialist Utopia, have
stirred up heated debate in the In
dependent Socialist Party of which
Dittman is leader. He is also a men,
Der Of the Reichstag. The Freiheit,
the partys organ has been made a
battle-ground ever since Dittman re-
turned from Russia where he went as
one of the four delegates sent by the
| independent socialists to the Worlds
Communist Congress, the third inter-
rationale at Moscow. The issue fought
in the columns of the Freiheit is
whether German radicals, in view Of
Dittman's revelations, shall pool their
interests with the Moscow regime.
Most of the Germans who migrated
were formerly members Of the indie
ls2endent Socialist party and others
pwere communists. Dittman found the
20 German families waiting in Petro-
yrad for transportation to some indus
rial section Of inner Russia. The in
| dLstrial workers were in Kolomna,
near Moscow. Dittman reported that
! the German emigrants were outspoken
! in their accommodation Of the Russian
! immigration agents operating in Ger
many who had talked them into sell
! ing their homes and going to Russia.
They strongly urged that steps be
taken to head off any other German
workers who might be on their way
TO Russia.
Most Of the men, Dittman said, were
penniless, and declared there was no
other country so expensive to live in
as the Russia Of today They were cut
| off from communication with the out
| side world and not permitted to senC
| letters home, Dittman reported. They
/ told him they were inhospitably re
ceived by the Russian comrades
who branded them as intruders who
/ had come to take the bread out OF
their mouths" and they also came into
conflict with their hosts over the con
ditions under which they were t.
work.
The upshot was that the German
rainbow chasers refused to work anc
demanded that they should be per
mitted to return to Germany

France Coming To Aid OF Poles,
Saued Nation From BolsheUiki

An American artillery officer VINO
had spent year in Russia and had
been under fire at the Polish front
told the correspondent he had seen the
Poles "plant their artillery in the most
ridiculous places, on the exposed sides
ST hills and right in the open, when
they could have readily concealed 1t
and made it effective"
A neutral aviator who had flown
over the front several times when bat
ties were said to be in progress said
what he saw of the fighting was "two
armies keeping about three hours
apart, the Poles retreating when the
Russians advanced, and the Russians
running when the Poles turned and adj
vanced," He said this schedule some
times got disarranged and there was a
collision between opposing detach-
ments," but he had not witnessed any
of these clashes.
A number of Polish officers with
whom the correspondent talked said
they were forced to admit the French
saved the day but the weakness of
their officers was explained by the
fact that in former years Poles had
not been permitted to hold commits
siCns in the army, either in Russia,
Germany or Austrian Holland, an..
that the time had been too short to
develop staff of highly trained Of
ficers.

(By Associated Press)

POSEN, Poland, Oct. 6-An official
of the French military mission in
Poland has told The Associated Press
correspondent that the Polish army
would have been conquered by the boil
shevik armies of Russia if the French
had not supported the Poles. This not
withstanding the fact that the Poles
beat back the Russian drive on War
saw.
The French official based his state
ment upon his belief that the Russian
army was superior to the Polish army
as an effective fighting machine, even
the exception of the German-trained
troops Of Posen. The Frenchman said
he believed the Russian organization
has been, and still is, under estimated
and because of this tendency to belittle
the Russian armies the menace to Po-
lands existence, if not to all western
Europe, remains imminent and real.
The official said some Russian units
were poorly equipped but it was not
true the army was "a barefoot rabble.' y
He was convinced the majority Of the
Russian divisions were "well-organ-
lied units of good-fighting men, much
better officered than the Poles" The
Poles had $4,000 officers but only 5000
of them ever went to the front al
though they were sorely needed there,
he said. There was evidence that
certain Polish companies had fought
without officers, he asserted, and that
during the retreat these were without
commanders.
