always fought against the unity of the
Polish workers with the Russian revo-

After the revolution Of 1905 Pilsud-
ski went to Gahcia, Austria. There
he sought, with the aid Of the govern
ment of Francis Joseph, to organize a
Polish army" for future war against
the car. He succeeded in this and
fought in the world war under the
imperialist flags of the central Euro
pean powers.

Who Is Pilsudsky?

ton to become a polish edition of
Napoleon and Mussolini at the same
time. He is well known to us in this
role. Joseph Pilsudski comes from
the polish nobility. He is himself the
owner Of an estate in the Wilma dis
trict. Today he Is the ruler of q
large part of Poland with the ambi-
ton to rule the whole of Poland and
TO carry his ambitions even further.
His dream Of dreams Is to unite"
Poland with the Ukraine, where the
workers and peasants are now living
freely, having gotten rid of the land
lord and capitalists, many of whom
were of polish nationality. He dreams
of Poland from sea to sea-" from
the Baltic to the Black Sea. .l.e .asQ
Pilsudski's program is his own per
sonality, the army, the general staff,
and war. He looks upon the people
as butcher does upon a poor lamb.
He is a militarist and imperialist much
Of the type of the 18th century. He
tries to give birth to Polish romantic
ism, 30 revive old Polish glory.
Whom does Pilsudsh represent?
First the petty bourgeoisie, the in
telligenzia, part of the rich peasantry
and those of the military who are
looking for victories on the battle
fields. PiIsudski is the inspiration of
militant, middle-class nationaIism.
On the international field Pilsudski
believes that there is hope for him
there. England would be glad to have
a man like him In Poland, because,
when she decides to wage war against
the Soviet Union, PiIsudski would be
ready to serve. Pilsudski is dream
ing Of war against the Soviet Union.
He is a militarist who believes he has
many grievances against the terrible
bolsheviks.
He wants "glory" for Poland. In
his latest lecture he says: "The chief
of the army must produce victories in
order to raise the prestige of his coun-
try"
This is Pilsudski's program.
He came into prominence from the
Polish socialist party, which he joined
early in his youth, in 1892. In 1894
he became the editor in chief of the
central organ of the Polish Socialist
(P. P. 81 "Robotnik," in which he
propagated not Marxism or Socialism,
but unity of the Polish nation against
the car" He was arrested and ex-
lied to Siberia for ave years. Fol-
lowing that he was again arrested and
spent some months in the famous
tenth pavilion in the Warsaw fortress.
There he simulated insanity and was
sent to Petersburg to an asylum, from
where he escaped with the aid Of a
friendly doctor.
In the revolution of 1905 Pilsudski
for the first time, showed what he
was really fighting for. He went to
Toxic TO ask the Mikado of Japan for
financial assistance to organize the
struggle in Poland against the car.
On the day he reached Japan the Pol
ish Socialist Party organized a pro-
test against participation in the Rus
sian war against Japan. Pilsudski
failed to Get support from the Japan.

CONSOLATION

Though much of my tresses I lately
have shed,
Though my collar grows daily more
Uttered
With the locks that belong on the
top of my head,
I, am not cast down or emhittered.
They cost in my youth weary hours
with the comb
Every day to untangle and tame
them,
And now they're deserting their
birthplace and home
shall not life hand to reclaim
them.
For why should care for head
full of hair
Whose culture must put to a strain
The forces I need-and quite badly
indeed
TO build up the cells in my brain?
And why should 1 strive to keep
beauty alive

best),

and zest?
What matter if beams from the
overhead light,
From my we'll polished dome are
reflected
AS I sit in the halls of my home of
a night,
still am revered and respected.
For although the spears that once
crested my brow
From their sockets have lately been
shaken,
The thyroid secretions that reared
them are now
Assisting to bring home the bacon.
So, why should I mourn though far
spaced and forlorn
Are the hairs which remain on my
pate?
"A savage has hair, but 1 am not
aware
That he ever does anything great.
What deeds I'd have done and what
fame I'd have won
In this world of contention and
strife,
How I'd dazzle the eyes of the mighty
and wise
If I'd only been bald all my life!
