stretching westward between the
Prussias and Galicia. This territory
has an area almost exactly equal to

POLAND ONCE EURopE's SAVIOR
Some Interesting Facts About Coun.
try Is II Tragedy.

Poland, whose history is tragedy,
and whose people have been called
children Of the SUM-" plays no new
role when she seeks to stop the on
slaughts Of the Bolsheviki, for it was
she who once stayed the march Of
the Turk across Europe.
This fact is recalled in a commu-
nication to the National Geographic
Society, which sums up Polands sad
and eventful history as follows:
''ln size she Outranked nearly
every nation Of the continent. Rus
sia alone Of the European nations Is
larger than Poland was at her great
est. In population she stood at the
forefront Of Europe. Only Russia
and Germany had greater popula-
tions before the war than are to be
found in the lands that once were
Poland; for unpartitioned Poland
had an area Of $4,000 square miles,
and the lands that once lay within
her boundaries support a popula ton
of approximately fifty million. In
area she was as large as the former
German Empire, Switzerland, Bel
GUM, Holland and Denmark togeth-
er-larger than Great Britain, Italy
and Greece combined; larger than
Austria-Hungary and Serbia in one.
Within what were her boundaries
dwells present population larger
than the combined populations of
Great Britain and Belgium, larger
than those Of France, Belgium and
Holland together. and matching that
of the old Austria-H Hungary.
Poland was three times parti-
toned, and these partitionings were
read1usted between the partitioners
