because there was no flour In the
neighborhood. I reported this to the
German officer who was escorting the
correspondents. He replied that an of
ficial investigation showed the people
of Vilna had sufficient food hidden .
to last at least a year, even If nothing
was shipped into the city. He said the
public was making the German army
believe it had no food In order that the
army would not requisition supplies.
Stores Sell Canned Goods.
During my three days' stay I lived
at the Hotel Bristol, which was owned
by a Russian Jew who had spent most
of his life in Albany, N. Y. He would
not discuss ttie food situation because,
as far as his hotel was concerned, there
was no food shortage. One could ob
tain white bread, two or three varieties
of meat, not very many vegetables, but
plenty of canned fruit and preserves.
The next day, while walking about
the city, I saw that practically the only
food displayed for sale In grocery
etores was canned goods, coffee, tea
and meat, and German soldiers were
buying all of the canned products
which they could carry away. Much
of this food was sent to Germany by
mail. Vllna, which is a city of a half
million people in peace times, had. even
at this time, only a few days after the
German occupation, many thousands of
unemployed.
Idle men and women stood about the
city watching he German troops come
and go. Some of them would get in
trouble from time to time with Ger
man soldiers. Small street fights oc
curred until the German army militia
began to make arrests.
Warsaw Prosperous and Gay.
A year later in Warsaw I saw the
city at its gayest. It was August. Re
ports had been received that Germany
was about to establish a. kingdom of
Poland and place a Polish prince on
the throne.- The streets were crowded.
Business houses were doing an enor
mous trade. Money seemed plentiful.
Private automobiles and carriages
were to be seen everywhere, in remark
able contrast to Berlin. German mer
chants were beginning to open branch
stores in Warsaw, and on practically
any business street one could see an
nouncements over stores saying "Pat
ronize German Mercnants."
Warsaw seemed to "have plenty of
food. Meat shops displayed great
quantities of hams and bacon. Eggs
were so plentiful that officials esti
mated there were over 1,000,000 eggs
in cold storage in the city. But as I
walked through the streets and talked
to the people I met worklngmen who
were begging. They said food was so
expensive that the poor could not buy
it. They said meat was selling at $1.50
a pound and eggs 10 cents apiece. One
man told me he had had no meat for
two months. Before the Russians
evacuated Warsaw they removed the
machinery or destroyed the interior of
every factory, so that thousands of men
were out of employment. Streets were
crowded with men selling postcards
and stamps. That was the only thing
they could do.
Soap Kitchens Feed 100,000.
In order to attempt to solve the food
problem for the poor, who were starv
ing, as even the investigations of the
Rockefeller Foundation proved, the
German military authorities opened
soup kitchens throughout the city. At
that time over 100,000 people were de
pendent every day upon this food.
Later, when I went through other
sections of Poland, especially in the
small cities. I saw the most terrible
suffering. People were Jiving in holel
in the ground under the destroyed
ruins of their homes. In some villages
where a few houses were still standing
every inhabitant claimed a house. The
German authorities had the greatest
difficulty in preventing trouble, be
cause sometimes as many as 10 families
would claim the same house and all its
furnishings as their own.
Before the kingdom of Poland was
announced to the world, there were a
great many internal troubles, especial
ly in the large cities. German authori
ties at first could not prevent the revo
lutionary propaganda which the stu
dents started. From time to time stu
dents were arrested and sentenced to
military prison for life. On Christmas
day of 1915 twelve students of the Un
iversity of Warsaw were arrested and
I imprisoned. From time to time others
were similarly dealt with by the Ger
man military authorities. Although
Germany had entered Poland and posed
as a liberator, the German authorities
were adopting the same measures In
conquering Poland that the Russian
imperial government under the Czar
had used.
Two Parties In Poland.
In Poland, however, there had always
been a pro-Polish party and a pro-Russian
party. The former expressed the
desires and hopes of the Polish peo
ple, but was always persecuted by the
Czar. The latter was composed almost
altogether of Russian officials, who
were known to be loyal to the Imperi
al government.
After the German occupation there
soon developed a pro-German and a
pro-Polish party group. Those who
sided with the Germans were mostly
members of Polish royal and noble
families, of princes and counts, who
were In disfavor with the Russian gov
ernment and who were anxious to ob
tain control of Poland. The German
military authorities Immediately
opened negotiations with these Prus
sianized Poles. Although the adminis
trative officials were Germans, the ad
vice and assistance of these nobles was
accepted.
So when the Kingdom of Poland was
established, under the temporary rule
of Governor-General von Bessler, these
pro-German Polish nobles were given
positions in the new government. The
Kaiser desired. If he could, to establish
a Prussian Kingdom of Poland, trer-
many realized, however, that Poland
could not be made a kingdom success
fully without uniting Gallcia and the
Polish section of Germany centered
about Posen. So the Kaiser made over
tures to Emperor Franz Joseph, sug
gesting that Gallcia be ceded by Aus
tria to the new kingdom. But the old
Emperor, who always was suspicious of
the German Kaiser, replied when his
ministers made the proposal to him:
"What! Those Prussians want to
take another pearl from my crown?"

EARLY TRADITIONS UPHELD
Frans Josef Hinders Plans.
Germany had Intended originally to
establish the Kingdom of Poland as
early as July, 1916, but because of op
position to the plans by Emperor Franz
Josef and by the Poles of Posen Ger
many was forced to postpone the an
nouncement until November. Even at
that time Germany did not get to an
nounce the kingdom she had expected
to create.
The Chancellor could only announce
that that section of Poland which was
occupied would be considered as the
Kingdom of Poland and that the of
ficial boundaries would be determined
at final world peace negotiations.
Because the German general staff
was looking forward to the time when
It could mobilize the unemployed of
Poland and use them as units in the
Germany army the German government
had to perfect as soon as possible all
plans for the new kingdom in order to
at first get the backing of a sufficient
number of Poles to make the proposed
Polish army a success.
That was Germany's real purpose in
announcing that she was about to free
the Poles. Germany needed soldiers,
and the general staff had estimated
that 1.200,000 men could be recruited in
Poland.
Polish Passports Issned.
To win the Polish people the first
thing Germany did was to issue new
passports so that each resident of Po
land becar-.e a Pole n longer a Rus
Flan. Germany's second step was to
create a Polish Diet and a Polish Min
istry. But Germany was careful to
see that not only during the war, but
after the war, she would have a con
trolling voice in all affairs of Poland.
It was provided that a majority of the
Ministry and the Diet should be selected
in a way wljich would guarantee bal
ance of power to the German element.
Almost at the very beginning of the
war the Polish soldiers of Germany
and Austria were organized into c Po
lish legion. Germany and Austria sent
what was left of these Polish legions
to Warsaw to form the nucleus of the
new Polish army, which was to be
raised, not by conscription, but by the
voluntary system.
Only 311 Poles Volunteered.
Recruiting agencies were established
throughout Poland. Soldiers of the
Polish legion, who had been decorated
both by Germany and Austria, were
made recruiting agents. In December,
1!)16, I was told by a source dirictlv
connected with the Prussian House
of Lords that after three months of
recruiting only 311 Poler volunteered
for the new Polish army.
What the situation is today I do not
know, but I doubt whether the number
has increased under this voluntary ays
tem. it was the lmpress.on of many
people in Germany with whom I talked
now that recruiting in Poland was i
failure, and now that Germany we be
coming more and more in-need of fresh
troops, that conscription would be in
augurated in Poland, either publicly oi
privately, in order that the army o!
1,200.000 which the German general
statt counted upon could be created.
When I was in Poland last Fall ther
was no mistaking the fact that thi
Poles were bitter against the Cza-
While they suspected and hated the
Germans, they felt, nevertheless, that
tney would Dc u- tter treated by Ger
many than by Russia. This situation
must have changed. The Poles did not
fear Russia; they feared the Czar and
the old imperial regime. These roles
as much as the German people, need :

trance of the United States in the war
will give the Poles the courasre to

Do Not Diminish Some
30 Enemies Dropped.
(From a Ptaff Correspondent of the Asso
ciated Press.)
GRAND HEADQUARTERS WITH
THE BRITISH ARMY, on the French
Front, April 23. The disappearance,
after an aerial engagement, of Sergeant
James R. MacConnell. the American av
iator, calls attention once more to the
brilliant work of the La Fayette Squad
rilla, composed entirely of American
volunteers, except the two French of
ficers in charge, Captain Georges Then
ault and Lieutenant De Lage de Meux.
Since its formation last year the
squadrilla, whose official designation is
the- "N-124." has undergone some
changes of personnel.
Ken Men TTphoId Traditions.
The new men, however, are living
well up to the traditions of those who
ave passed through its ranks, some
of whom have made the "great sacri
fice" for France in return for the help
she gave to America during the Revo
lution, while others have had to retire
owing to wounds or injuries.
By their daring and skill the young
Americans have won not only the ad
miration of their French comrades, but
also the wholesome respect of the Ger
man airmen opposed to them. Up to
date at least SO enemy machines are
nown "to have fallen victims of the
American squadrilla, and it is probable
more -have been brought down over the
German lines, but without certain
roof of their destruction no credit is
given to the aviator for these.
Men as Club Slembers.
The members of the corps, which is
purely a fighting unit whose duty is
the protection of observation and bom
barding squadrillas, live together in
their cantonment at the front, more on
the terms of clubmen interested in the
same branch of sport than like a mili
tary body. In fact, the combination is
nown as the "Winged Club."
Many of the members have been dec
orated with medals and crosses for
their exploits In Alsace, around Ver-
un and on the Somme. Their desire
to be in the midst of the hottest fight
ing generally is gratified, and the
quadrilla is always to be found in the
vicinity of greatest activity.

LONDON, April 23. Reuter's corre
spondent at British headquarters in
France, describing the new British ad
vance, says:
"We are not now up against a "set
pace' to reform the regular trench sys
tem, but are dealing with innumerable
defense patches in the shape of machine
gun fortins, of little redoubts and short
traverses and saps running in various
directions. Nowhere is there any reg

rage. "For the present It must be a busi
ness of cleaning out the widely bur
rowed enemy, which Is being done with
the least costly tactics by pounding
every acre of the honeycombed ground
rather than by attempting to rush po
sitions in direct infantry attacks.
"I hear that many tanks have been
in action and have given a fine account

The weather is all in our favor, and
our airmen are busy, it is too soon
yet to get definite details of the ex

WASHINGTON, April 23. Immediate
diversion of a number of steamships
from the coastwise trade to trans-At
lantic service was forecast by officials
today after a conference here of trans
portation company representatives with
the Shipping Board and the Council of
National Defense. Many vessels, it was
said, could be removed without disar
ran King railway service.
At a meeting here next Wednesday a
newly created shippings committee of
the Defense Council will take up meas
ures to jmt the vessels to transporting
supplies to the allies. The committee
was named today with William Den-
man, chairman of the Shipping Board,
at its head. It will work out plans in
co-operation with a general railroad
board named recently to co-ordinate
operation of rail systems during the
war.
Legislation introduced in both the
Senate and House today by the Admin
istration would authorize the President
to confer title and possession of the
German and Austrian ships held in
American ports. Its terms would ex
tend to vessels owned by any subject
or citizen of any country with which
the United States Is at war.
Repair to the damaged German and
Austrian ships is being pushed as rap
idly as possible. Some of them will be
ready for service within a few weeks,
Those held at Honolulu, it was learned
today, will be towed to the Pacific
Coast for repairs.
