POLAND ONCE THE SAVIOR
OF EUROPE

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.
A communication to the National
Geographic society sums up POland's
sad and eventful history as follows:
In size she outranked nearly every
nation OF the continent. Russia alone
OF the European nations is larger than
Poland was at her greatest. In p0pu-
latiOn she stood at the forefront Of
Europe. Only Russia and Germany
had greater populations before the
war than are to be found In the lands
that once were Poland; for unparti-
toned Poland had an area OF 2S2,0OO
square miles, and the lands that once
lay within her boundaries support a
population Of approximately 80 mil
lion. In area she was as large as tSc
former German empire, Switzerland,
Belgium. Holland and Denmark to-
gether; larger than Great Britain,
Italy and Greece combined; larger
than Austria Hungary and Serbia in
one. Within what were her boundaries
there dwells n present population OF
Great Britain and Belgium; larger
than those OF France, Belgium and
Holland together; and matching that
Of the old Austria Hungary.
Poland was three times partltioned,
and these partltlonings were read
justed between the Practitioners by the
Congress of Vienna In 1915. Where
the original partitions had given Rus
sla 1S1 900 square miles, Prussia $4,000
square miles, and Austria $4,000
square miles, the reapp0rtionment of
the Vienna Congress gave Russia 220,-
500. Prussia 10000, and Austria $4,000
square miles. Much OF the land which
Russia secured. and particularly Kiev.
had been identified with Russia gen
erations before.
Poland. In the days of her greatest
area. extended from a point within 80
miles OF Berlin, on the west, 10 the
meridian of the sea of Azov on the
east; on the north II reached nearly
TO the Gulf OF Finland and on the
south down to the Khanate OF Crimea.
What we now know as Russian
Poland Is that neck OF territory
stretching westward between the
Prusslas and GalIcia. This territory
has an area almost exactly equal to
that OF New York, yet, In spite OF the
fast that Its extreme southern boun-
dairy lies north Of the latitude OF Win
nIpeg, Its population is as. great as
those OF New York and New Jersey
combined.

''The immediate objects to be sought

a spreading out Of cities; the trans

above all the attachment Of a piece Of
arabic or garden ground to every faml-
ly dwelling.

Of making rural and landscape pleas

Flume is another OF those foothOlds

Hungary upon Its thriving Industries

despite the protest of Croatia TO which
II had belonged since the revolution
Of 1880. Tender consideration for

square miles cut out OF Croatia.
Despite the Hungarian interest In
