France Will Form

DemobiIized Poles
Labor ButtuIions Are
Planned in Move to
Aid $4,000
By PAUL GHALI,

Chicaso Daily News FOREIGN Correspondent
VICHY, Aug 24-Polish soldiers
who fought in France and were de-
modified are to be remobilized-as
labor battalions.
Presumably in order to give work
and food to these soldiers, who num-
ber about $4,000, Frenc hauthorities
have decided to organize Polish work
units and to assign a special resi-
dental area in the free zone to for
mer Polish officers. This decision
was made yesterday.
These Poles have been gallant,
fact which no French soldier is apt
to forget. At the beginning of May,
this reconstructed Polish army in
France comprised two divisions of
$4,000 men each. Another division
was training in Brittany. There was
an expeditionary force of 5000 men
in Norway whose contribution proved
decisive in the capture of Narvik.
In addition, there were 5000 Polish
soldiers In Syria and a motorized
division under Gen. Matchek, which
was engaged south of the Marine.
Division Captured.
One Polish division defended the
Maginot Line at Forbach, while'
second was held in reserve in Lor-
raine. near Vaucouleurs. The first
shared the fate of the French de-
tenders of the Maginot Line and
was captured a week after the ar
mistice. The second offered gallant
resistance at Luneville to the Ger
mans coming west. This division
refused to surrender, fought its way
to the Swiss border, crossed, and
was disarmed and interned
In the Flanders retreat, the half
trained Polish division in Britanny
tried to get to Great Britain. Nearly
half succeeded, the remainder joined
the main French forces in the south,
or dispersed and found work on
farms.
1000 Flyers Went to Britain.
One thousand Polish aviators
crossed into Britain. the Narvik
brigade went to Scotland where
they remained; the Syrian-Polish
forces, upon news of the armistice,
fought their way to Palestine.
Those $4,000 Poles still in France
include 5000 from the Brittany and
Lorraine divisions, 1000 from the
Matchek brigade, and 1000 who
escaped from the Maginot line and
subsequently got back into France i
from Switzerland.
The Polish Army in France was
demobilized at the same time as
the French Armies. But, unlike the |
French, these men cannot return to
