WARSAW May 17.--Warsaw has
abruptly transformed itself from an
armed camp and battlefield to the
peaceful appearance it presented be
fore the storm which swept over the
city changing the government.
With Marshal Pilsudski completely
| successful in his movement to over
throw the Witos government and
President Wojciechowski, business
and pleasure have been resumed as
usual.
The Sunday crowds were as thick
as ever on the streets of Warsaw and
in the suburbs the fields were full of
Warsawers gathering flowers and the
dusty roads were full of cars.
In the city people sat safely on
benches and watched workmen prun.
ing branches of trees which had been
broken by bullets and bombs, filling
holes in the streets, removing the last
traces of hastily thrown up barricades,
repairing cut telephone and street car
cables and replacing mail boxes.
Funerals of Dead.
Today was the time set for the
funerals of those killed in the
Pilsudski revolution. After the hun
dreds of coffins have traversed the
city on black k-draped caisons. only
the bullet-SCarred walls will remain
to recall the battle for power
The troops already have returned
TO their barracks: the tanks and
armored cars are gone

House, seems deserted save for lone
sentinel. The sailors are gone from

night they slept standing. the upper

rels were to be seen. except when they
stood erect to enjoy prodigious
yawn.
The Red Cross flag flies from the
hospitals. including the American hos
pital, which was prominent in relief
work. Many Americans loaned their
cars as ambulances.
Almost Normal Again.
Warsaw is almost normal again
Trains are running throughout Po-
land and today telephone and street
car service was resumed. Outside the
city Uhlan cavalry patrols still guard
the roads. The correspondent passed

The arrival of an ambulance bear

that some of the interned are wound

but firmly refused a request for per-
mission to see NJ. Witos or to take
photographs.
II is probable the interned will be
held until the situation is entirely
clear and perhaps certain officers, like
Gems. Zagorski and Rodmansk will
be tried for corruption.
The correspondent called at Mar
shal Pilsudski's staff headquarters
and caught glimpse of 0he marshal
as that gray-haired, erect soldier
passed with head bent. He wore a
peculiar narroW-visored cap pulled
down over his eyes. He wore a sim
pie pepper and salt uniform of Con
federate gray, with few decorations.
The only American known to have
been injured is a Mr. Joyce. He was
reading a newspaper when stray
bullet pierced the window before
which he was sitting and grazed his
left forearm. The wound was slight.
