POLAND ON VERGE
OF ABYSS CRIES TO
ALL WORLD FOR AID
CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE.


chak and Denikin also made war
on Russia This Is difficult to ad-
nit, recognizing the fact that all
three gentlemen were good Russian
patriots themselves. II would be
useless to describe the situation in
Russia as IL Is so well known.
Conditions are desperate. Cities
are dying out. trade and industry
are practically dead. agriculture is
not even 20 per cent OF what IT
was before the calamity OF October.
1917. Since the revolution the
peasants have had to adopt the
most primitive and prehistoric
style OF living-there Is no produc-
ton today.
Aware OF these facts, the entente
the Bolshevfsts obtained their hold
on Russia, made considerable at
tempts to help the Russian people
establish normal conditions, but for
some reason these enterprises re-
forces which have fought against
in the field.
Regime of Cruelty.
Several months before her rec
ognition as an independent country
she was involved in armed conflict
with the Soviet forces in provinces
which, prior to the first partition OF
Poland, had for centuries formed an
integral part of the Polish repub
lie. Several million Polish peopie
inhabited these provinces. The Boil
shevists had occupied these prov
inces and introduced a regime Of
cruelty and terror without parallel
in the history Of mankind. Thou
sands of Poles. belonging mostly to
the educated classes, were tortured
mercilessly. II was Poland's right
and duty to protect her nationals.
The formation Of a regular army
hn~an. and in a short time a small
army was ready to oppose the Boil
shevIst invasion. The success OBJ
tained by that army in April and
May, 1919. was as immediate as II
was decisive. There was a moment
when the Bolshevists were sur
rounded by the Judenich, Kolchak
n~d Dcrikin armies, when their war
materials were exhausted and their
" or transportation greatly i'm
paired, when the Soviets were will
ing to offor peace under very tempt
ing conditions. Some intimations
to that effect were made to the Po-
lish government in August of last
year.
Peace Found Impossible.
The principal allied and asso-
ciated governments were immediate
ly approached and the supreme
council was asked what should be
done. whether peace ought to be
concluded or war continued. On
behalf OF the supreme council NJ
Clemenceau answered that peace
with the Bolshevists was impossi-
BILE. So the war went on.
THE defeat of Judenich and Kol-
chak, without changing the in
ternal situation of Russia, strength
ened the authority of the Soviet
government The disaster to Deni-
kin strengthened them militarily in
the highest degree and an enormous
quantity OF munitions, light and
heavy artillery, railroad tracks,
tanks, airplanes and new rolling
stock fell to the Bolshevists.
Poland Tired of War.
While gathering all these tro-
phies In enormous quantities into
the Ukraine, the Bolshevists made
their weli-known peace offer to Po-
land In January. The entente pow
ers were Immediately consulted but
declined to give any advice and left
70 Poland alone entire responsibility
Tor the decision. In this grave mo-
