PoIond's Army Fought
With 0ernony in 1914

/ TITLE polands army of 2.54o.-
600 men has met Hitlcr's ehal-
iengc and is making an heroic
stand against invasion. With I'M
paralleled courage. the Poles have
bitterly contested every foot Of
the Mani advance.
Thus the armies that once
fought side by side are today
enemies. For the Poles did fight
for the German cause early in the
World War.
Long before 1914, Polish pa
triois had organized a secret
army. the Polish Legion. At that
time there was no independent
Poland. Part was under German
rule; part was Incorporated into
the Austro- Hungarian Empire;
and a third portion was held by
Russia.
II was chiefly against Russia
that the hatred of Joseph pilsud-
ski. one of the organizers of the
Legion, was directed. An ardent
patriot, Pilsudski had been exiled
and imprisoned for his ant-Rus-
sian activities. During the Russo
japanese war he offered the serv-
ices of the Legion to Japan, but
the japanese did not fall in with
his plan.
Russia's efforts TO stamp out
Polish rebellion only increased
devotion 10 the cause OF Polish
independence. When Germany
moved against Russia the Legion
was modified, fought with the
German army.
But Pilsudski foresaw the
danger that Germany might not
agree 10 the formation Of an in
dependent nation and he and his
Legionnaires refused 10 swear
allegiance TO Germany. Officers
and men were informed until after
the German revolution of 1918.
The 25th anniversary of the
formation Of the Polish Legion is
commemorated by the Polish
stamp above, issued early this
year. II shows Marshal Pilsudski
between marching armies Of 1914
| and 1883.
