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.
