requires an unusual mobility OF
armed forces. The cavalry fulfills
that requirement better than mo-
torized equipment because vast
stretches of Poland have no good
roads.
An unusual feature of the Polish
cavalry Is the fact that it is equip
ped with machine guns. Marshal
Edward Smigly-Rydz, the country's
strong man." considers the machine
gun an outstanding defensive wea-
pom and horses better than motors
for mobility.
Poland's air force also ranks high
in Europe. 1t is estimated to num-
Der at least 1900 first line planes,
of which the bombers are called
elks, the fighters wolves and obser-
vation planes seagulls.
Some were imported, but most
of the planes were manufactured
in Poland from French and Brit
ish licenses. Special targets of the
first German air raids were the
Polish aircraft factories.

year later and we're forced into
treaty that gave Russia economic
and military control over the weak
ened nation.
Domination of Poland
Complete domination of Poland
began in l772 when the Prussian
government forced Poland into an
agreement which was later known
as the first partition of Poland.
Under the pact, Poland gave Prus-
sia what amounted to one third
of its territory.
Falling more under the domina-
ton of Russia, Poland underwent
a second and third partition in
1880 and 1895 and in those divi-
sionS the remaining area of the
country was distributed among Au-
stria, Germany and Russia.
History virtually forgot Poland
as separate state after l795 until
Napoleon Bonaparte began his cam
paign to conquer the world, and
created the Dutchy of Warsaw in
1907. Napoleon did not create the
Dutchy to aid Poland. however. He
used it as training center for his
armies and as a supply base for his
campaigns in Germany and Russia.
Napoleon kept the loyalty of the
Pole, however, by promising eventu-
al restoration Of their nation.
Poland Joins Napoleon
In 1912 the Poland army of 10000
men threw in with Napoleon and
began the famous march to Moscow.
Adam Czartoryski formed presi-
Dental government in Warsaw and
once more Poland prepared to rule
itself.
But the Polish freedom was short
lived. Napoleon's march to Moscow
failed. Russians overran Warsaw
again forced Poland into submis-
sion.
Poland made three valiant, but
fruitless, attempts to end Russian
Austrian and German domination
in 1880, 1848 and 1868. Each at
tempt cost thousands of lives.
The nation resigned itself to its
fate after the failure of the 1863
uprising, but somehow the Polish
people kept themselves closely al

under three rulers.

war the Austrians, Germans and

June 19, 1899.
Editor: Now that the battle for
auto insurance facilities is over, the
victory won, at least a moral one,
permit me to say to you, Congratu-
lations for the part you played, for
the work you did, for the publicity
you gave to this worthwhile move
ment through the columns Of your
papers. I am cognizant of the fact
that without the aid of your papers
we would not have accomplished as
much as we did. Certainly it has
demonstrated to the Negroes in
Minnesota, that their own Race
paper is the battleship of their
defense. Not only is it the first
line Of defense, but it is the first,
second and third line of trench
warfare, if it fails, we are lost,
Through your columns, the people
were educated to the real signif-
canoe of the fight, the principle
involved, the issue at stake. You
brought this out clearly and in g
very concise manner.
Again, let me say, "Congratula'
tions," and many thanks.
Sincerely yours,

To learn, observe and carry memories still,
Down lifes highway if we have the will.
Progress in things know about,
Progress in things fragile, yet stout,
Progress in things now still new
Progress in manufacture helps carry business thru.
Excursion rates have been reasonably set,
So a majority can travel and consequently get
The sight of life time enjoyment too
vacations well spent when the Fairs are in view.

To get all the beauty and grandeur that's found,
In these spots of achievement where shows,
That lhes burdens lighter hands and clothes.
All nations represented every see
What is their important industry
How it affects all since progress is made
In usage when the product is first grade.
Harmony among Nations is thus symboized
In close cooperation and it's realized
That the countries are neighbors and all can live
In close friendship if they'll continue to give
