By X. Ij. Motrowskl; Copyr1-ht, 1915, by J. Keeley.) Vienna, Auitrla, Oct 22. American Poles will be Urged to return to Po land' to buy up land which will other wise go to foreigners. A group of Polish women here, or the nobility, is preparing for a cam paign of appeal not only among Poles In America but directed to other na tives of this persecuted land. It Is the belief of this body that the Poles In America will gladly offer their sayings for this cause and that- many will be eager to return to their na tive land with an opportunity to In vest their money. This move ment is headed by Mme Abrahamowlcz, wife of the former minister' and president of the Aus trian parliament. Among the mem bers working under her are other wives of high officials, princesses and count esses. - -.The three parts of Poland are in cluded in this work. Polish landhold rs are la dire need of money and the fear that their property will be pounced upon by rich aliens Is great. , Estates tamed for their luxury and Cayety before the war are pathetically in ruin. These estates include those of the nobility, for the. wealth of the counts and 'princes is doubtful now. For instance, the 15 estates In Gallcla of Princess Lubomlerska have been deltroyed. i save one. Prince Casartor skl'a estates in Galicia have all been destroyed, a group of gaunt, fire blackened walls Indicating the palace of former splendor and life. There are hundreds, If not thousands, of Pol ish noblemen, wealthy btfore the war, now destitute and looking for a pur chaser of their lands. Women X,m Useful Occupations. This group bf Polish noblewomen, but recently organized, is broad in Us scope of welfare work. It has a sub name the Society of Patronesses and Propagandists, the object to bring those women and girls back to their home towns whom, havoc and pov erty had driven away. These workers are bringing them Hack and are teach ing them to pursue useful occupations, which they are practicing throughout the country. Their work is consistent. Every metnber of the society pledge herself to buy only hats and other articles from those producers for wiiom these alrls and women work. And there are many aristocratic fingers at work in the factories, too. Desti tute gentlewomen of Poland have taken up the commercial education offered by this body. It is the sense of this society that every girl, rich or -poor, Shall lSanj something useful; that the girl frpm a rich home shall not onl pursue'her French and music but shall become a producer. Tree Poland Cause Galas. Regarding the question of Polish freedom In the future, I have learned some very interesting Austrian' senti ment. Count Julius Andrassy of Bud apest, counselor and former minister of Austria-Hungary, and son of the famous Hungarian patriot and states man, wrote an article published in a recent Issue of the Newe Frele Presse here, which passed the government censors, a significant fact, inasmuch as the government itself refuses to talk. " The article stated ' in substance, i in j reviewing the Polish question, that tap solution of the problem lay In giving Poland Its own government, not under separate kingdoms but united with Austria, to protect herself from a repe tition of Russian greed, j -.' What makes Xhin interesting Is the fact that many prominent Poles in Austria have indorsed his belief, among them Count Goluchowski. former min iated of foreign affairs; Leon Bilirunici, former minister of finances and presi dent of the Polish group of the Vienna parliament: Mr. Morowskl, minister j of GaJicia,' and , many others. They told rue personally thaf they believed thus to be tbebeet solution of the Polish question. .

This TlA. i Some day R road way, between Vnlon avenue and the east- approach oft the Broadway bridge, Is to' be hard sur faced. When that Will be done no one knows, but officials .of tlie department of public works generally agree that It will be done some day. Although much has been said and done on paper, Broadway Is no nearer being paved to!ay than it was when the Broadway bridge was completed. Grades have been changed, and Jogs eliminated on paper, but the actual grade and jogs are still very much ln evidence. t Attempting to find out the exact status of the Improvement Is worse than trying to find the man who started the European war. Proceed ings, you finally learn, are somewhere en route between the city attorney's office and the department of public works, and you are told that every thing possible Is being done to expe dite matters. Originally when proceedings were started to improve the street propertr ownera remonstrated, and the plan to , Improve the thoroughfare waa auto matically killed. Later another at tempt to hard surface the street was made, but property owners objected, to the type -Of pavement proposed,- and . again .proceedings were killed, f , Then-some one grot the Idea that-the Idea that the Jo at Broadway and Wheeler streets should be eliminated.
