services of General Tadeusz Kosci-
uszko in the cause of American indie
pendence, 1776-1783. This flag was
solemnly consecrated at the Feast
Of Pentecost, 1919, by the Rev. DR..
Smith, chaplain of the Military
Chapel Of st. Cornelius, Governors
Island, New York City, in the pres
ence of Mr.. Constantin Buszczyn-
ski, Consul General of the Repub-
lie Of Poland, and his staff, and a
large number Of representatives of
the Polish nation"
Cheers for America
Before the old cloth hall Mr.. Bus
zczynski, the flag in his hand, ad-
dressed the great crowd.
II am from America" Those
first words of his brought a cheer.
America is still popular in Poland.
Then he sketched in something of
what the United States has done for
Poland and expects from her. Above
all, he warned against the "high
cost Of loafng," saying that if Po-
land would succeed her people must
buckle down to productive work. A
few weeks before a great agricul-
tural strike had been called, alleged
ly backed by Russian "Reds," and
heralded by the radicals as sure to
tie up all Poland. But the strike
fell fiat, and that, Buszczynski en-
phasized, was the happiest omen in
the young republics brief history.
Later that cold Sunday morning,
after the speeches in the square, !,
and after the changing of the guard
had been repeated exactly as year
before Except that this time both
the relief and the relieved were
Poles), the consul general from
New York bore his flag to the fine
old cathedral where lie the remains
of the kings of old Poland and the
sepulchre of Tadeusz Kosciuszko.
Upon that tomb the flag, from the
hands Of American women, was rev.
erently laid, the first tangible offer
ing to the memory of Poland's great
patriot from our own Republic.
And fittingly, perhaps, the only
foreigners present were from Amer
lea, Mr.. and Mrs. Julian G. Kirkland.
of New York; John Wedda, of
Chicago, and the writer and his wife.
Consul General Buszczynski, by
the way, is typical of the spirit of
Poland, that unquenchable spirit of
nationalism which has survived the
most far-reaching and persistent
prosecutions of modern history. His
extensive estates in Podolia, a ter
ritory included in what is now the
Ukraine, have been destroyed en-
tirely by the Bolsheviki. All that is
saved is the fine pair of black horses
behind which the owners son
Stephan, with his wife, escaped to
safety.

under Russia, Prussia and
= Austria, Poland was re-
born year ago, when, with
the crumbling of the Central En-
pires, she set herself up as a nation
almost over night.
And on October 81, 1919, the
new republic of the Vistula cele-
brated her first birthday. For just
twelve months previously occurred
the first official taking over Of
authority and the actual creation of
a government Of, for and by Poles,
almost a fortnight before the sign
ing of the armistice.
All that occurred in Cracow, in
what used to be Austrian Poland.
At noon on October 81, 1918, the
Hapsburg flag came down from the
guardhouse at the west end Of
Rynek, the fifteenth century cloth
hall in the city's central square.
Without disorder, soldiers with the
white eagle of Poland on their
shoulder, organized and armed
almost miraculously, replaced the
Austrians, whose troops and gov
ernor forthwith skunk away toward
Vienna, bag and baggage. Up went
the Polish flag. in the heart Of the
land where it had been forbidden
even to speak Polish for years past,
while the crowds cheered them
selves hoarse with JOY. Poland had
come into her own again!
Made in America
This year Cracow celebrated that
memorable birthday fittingly. And
curiously, the chief feature of that
celebration was made in America,
and Americans were the only for
eigners present.
Constantin Buszczynski, native
of Cracow and Consul General to
the United States, was orator of the
occasion. From the consulate, 40
West Fortieth Street, New York,
where he worked all last summer as
the first overseas representative of
Europe's new republic, the consul
general bought a flag made by
American women and placed it on
the tomb of Kosciuszko, the Pole
who came, like Lafayette, to help
Us in Revolutionary days, when help
was sorely needed.
That flag was fine silk Polish
banner presented to the consul gen
eral by the Daughters of Cincinnati
Of America, Miss Ruth Lawrence
and Mrs. Russell Tucker, Of New
York, president and secretary of the
organization, handing it to Mr.
Buszczynski last summer, when il
was consecrated at the chapel or
Governors Island.
'This flag is a gift from the
Daughters of Cincinnati of Amer
ica," says the legend upon it, "ir

motely approaching one. And thero

Russia's social maladies, quoted

letter, is especially interesting:
"Bolshevism is purely Russian

sian. In the parts OF old Russia !,
which the social system is not char

for all men. That is not what tbo

General Halter was another WIN
paid tribute to Kosciuszko during
that first birthday celebration of
new Poland.
Halter, it will be remembered
commanded the portion of the Aus
trian Polish legions which aban-
doned the Central Empires after the
betrayal Of Poland's national hopes
and the promises of independence
made her at Brest-Litovsk, cut
his way across Russia to Murmaa-E
and thence eventually reach NJ
France. During the final year c.
the war he commanded the Pr ST.
legions on the Western front
recruited mostly from America.
Some $4,000 of these are to-day
lined up against the Bolsheviki.
And on Poland's happy natal day
there at Cracow the commander Of
this largest body of Yankee fighting
men now in Europe gave me mes
sage for America:
Con this first anniversary of the
day when Poland threw off the yoke
Of her oppressors all Poles rejoice"
General Halter wrote. because ]

mand men who have lived in Amer

especially clear to me. These

to act. Kosciuszko's contribution
in your Revolutionary days has been

over Poland is a very real one. AS
the thinking men of that portion of
Central Europe see it, the problem
of maintaining the Polish bulwark
in proper repair is the biggest one
the Allies face to-day. And up until
November full realization of this
fact had not seeped into the func-
tioning official minds at Paris.
Expect German War
Pilsudski, believe, shares the
pessimistic view which I found
almost universal in Poland, namely,
that war with Germany is newt
able. Her neighbors on the east
consider Germany unbeaten-cer-
tainly unregenerate.
"Germany's great strength to-day
lies in the fact that she is the single
nation with a definite foreign
policy" is the way Christofer Lum-
by, Warsaw correspondent of "The
London Times" expressed a grow
ing belief. "And that policy is to
get control of Russia. Already she
is hard at it.
"Those people are gambling for
high stakes" said Pilsudski, speak
ing Of the German army which per-
sisted all summer in the Baltic
provinces, despite the orders of the
Allies. "Their object is to restore
a monarchy in Germany. Won der
Goltz himself is only a tool. Behind
the movement is Ludendorff. The
monarchists know that for the pres
ent they cannot hope to act in Ger
many, so they are using Russia as a
medium through which to concen-
trate and develop their power Ger
many is responsible for her actions
to the Entente, but no one can hold
Russia responsible for what goes on
within her. The monarchists are
playing a double game; ostensibly
they occupy Courland to keep the
Bolsheviki out. Actually they are
working with the Bolsheviki. Their
aim is to use Bolshevism to weaken
the countries which are hostile to
Germany and at the same time gain
hold on the Bolshevist army. At
the right moment this influence in
the Red army will be their trump
card"
All OF which, at the comfortably
long range of 5000 miles and more,
may sound fantastic. But in Po-
land to-day it doesn't in the least
appear so.
A Russian Disease
Pilsudski, remember, hated the
old order in Russia with supreme
hatred. He was called a nihilist
certainly he was an outlaw. And
certainly also he remains Socialist
