ASKS
AMERICAN AID IN
P0LAND'S FUTURE
Polish Flyer Addresses Large
Crowd in High School
Auditorium.

Poland Is the lone barrier be-
tween bolshevism and civilization.
said Major Cedric Fauntleroy in his
address on Polish relief before a
capacity crowd in the high school
auditorium Monday evening. With
Major Fauntleroy was Rev George
Gavorslxi, chaplain of the Polish ar
mics in the late campaign against
the Russians.
Rev. A. Zubowicz of this city pre-
sided and introduced the speaker of
the evening as a true soldier who
had done great things for Poland
and civilization and had sacrificed
much 10 play his splendid part in "a
noble cause"
Il have come here this evening. 80
said Major Fauntleroy Ito lift up
my voice in great cause-that OF
asking your aid and the aid of every
Pole in America for the purpose OF
alleViating the Calamities that have
descended upon Poland from the
aftermath of war.
Seek Helping Hand.
Poland Is today a free country
but the problem facing her children
is that Of keeping her free II the
next four years can Oe safely borne
and all their events then Poland will
have firmly established itself as "a
nation among the nations OF the
earth. But that this worthy end
may be attained it IS absolutely es-
sential that a helping and hrOtherly
hand be extended across the sea.
Other countries did promise help
10 Poland but their promises were
left unfulfilled and the only two ma
tions that have aided her are Amer
lea and France. America has not
forgotten and will not forget what
Poland has done for this country.
The memory OF Thaddeus kosCiuS-
XII. founder of West Point. who
fought in the dark days of the
Revolution, is fresh in cur minds.
What is needed in Poland is
food. Through the utter lack ot this
stable commodity of life Poland
faces the grim and comfortless fact
that 500 600 Of her children may be
mental or physical wrecks in the
next generation Nobody wants 10
