KNOWS REAL SACRIFICES

Her religion means more to
her than ever before in her life
how that she prays each day
for the safety Of her son.
She has deeper understand
ing of the sorrow and doubts
and fears Of others than she
could possibly have had before
there was any real worry in her
own life.
She, who never before
worked for anyone but her own
family, now spends long and
firing hours in a hospital help
ing 10 care for the sick.
And she who once thought
material things were quite im-
portant now knows that they
alone have little meaning-even
at Christmas time when to
many gifts are the most inn
p rtant part OF the day.
1t isn't the Christmas spirit
that this woman. and thousands
of women whose homes have
been broken by the war, lack
this year. 1t is the holiday spirit
which isn't nearly as serious
lack.

Of War Wives

A war wife who has encoun-
tered a good deal of smugneSs
and thoughtleSSneSs among wo-
men whose husbands are still at
home suggests that the latter
wives ask themselves these ques-
tIonS:
Do YOU invite a war wife for
dinner in your home at least
once a month, and make her feel
that you are having her for her
self and not just because you
think she needs cheering?
Do you refrain from irritating
her by such remarks as Il
think the men at home are hav-

service. Joe has not had a Sat-

Sacrifices

OF Christmas
BY RUTH MILLETT

She didn't have 10 explain
why. Her only son IS flyer

credit TO indicate that ne IS
ucky-So far.
IL is easy TO understand what
that mother meant by her re-
mark. II isn't much fun buying
and decorating a tree and wrap
ping presents when a family Is
apart at Christmas time.
II isn't much fun TO cook tur-
key and all the tiXIngs when
the member of the family with
the biggest appetite is in a for

Christmas in wartime isn't a
day of unblemished joy-not in
families where a son is gone.

wrong phrase when she said she
hadn't any Christmas spirit
this year. The truth of the mat

Moscow, May 7.-(UP)-Deputy
Foreign Commlssar Andrei j. Wish
insky charged today that Polish
diplomats and high-ranking army
officers had been guilty of espionage
against the Soviet Union.
Many have been tried and pun
ished or expelled from Russia, Wish
insky told Anglo American newspa-
per correspondents at a press con-
ference. Among those expelled, he
said, was Gen. Romuald Wolikow-
ski, former head Of the Polish mill
tary mission 10 Russia and one who
played an important part In .
espionage work In the USSR."
Vishinsky's statement came only
"a hours after publication Of let
ter from Premier Josef Stain had
raised hopes that the break In re-
lations between the two government
could be mended soon. Stain said
Russia desired a strong and indie
pendent Poland after the war
The Polish government In exile
refused TO permit a Polish army to
fight Germany In the Russian front,
Vishinsky said, violating Article 7
Of the Polish Russian friendship
pact OF July 30, 1871 signed soon
after the Nails invaded Russia. Un-
der this article, Polish army was TO
be organized on Soviet soil from
Polish prisoners seized when the
Red army occupied the eastern part
OF Poland coincidental with the
German invasion OF western Poland
In 1899. The army was duly organ
lied but has never fought.
The agreement, he said set the
Polish army at 10000 men and the
Soviet government loaned the Poles
300, 100000 rubles TO provide for the
force, O division OF which was TO
have been sent TO the front but new
or was. Later inquiries drew prom
ises that were unfulhlled, he added,
The actual Polish force was said 10
total ii ,66l men.
Vishinsky bluntly told the news
paper correspondents that Soviet
Polish relations depended on the
circumstances OF the moment and
added:
TITS UP TO the Polish government
10 think about the steps 10 be taken,
The Polish government Is respon-
sible for the rupture and therefore
IL Is up to the Polish government TO
take the necessary concrete steps"
He said II was too early TO die
cugS under what conditions reIa-
items might be resumed with the
present or o reconstructed govern
ment under Polish Premier Wladi-
