POLAND is reported to linvo .begun the invasion of Ger
many and to be driving towards Berlin with an
army of 40,000. Here we have a ! provocation that ; mav
force Ucnnanv into wnr again. , ' , '
A, Poland lias suf fernl heavily from the war. Her indus
tries lie in ruins, u.iilkms of her' poople' have boon killed
by battle or famine, and one would think that the eounti
had seen sorrow enough. especially as the decision of tin
peace conference wilt govern Poland's future,, and not
any little exploit of arms' that can only add to the exhaus
tion ot her people aud increase their sunenng.
Press dispatches state that Genera I. Joseph Pilrudski,
who 'has declared himself dictator, refuses to giVe xip his
authority, although lntormed by tne allies that he will not
be recognized as he does not represent the Polish peopk
He lias refused to negotiate with Ignace Paderewski, who
organized and conducted the Polish relief movement and
Polish propaganda, and who represents the allied govern
ments and has been acclaimed by the Poles as probable
president.. ' . '. '.',' , '.'' ' : -
ltecognition of the Polish nation bv the allies depends
upon its good behavior. Acting like a Balkan firebrand
and striving to rekindle tho flames of war and creating
unknown complications does not appeal to the benevolent e
of nations wnose good will is indispensable, for au inde
pendent Poland.
.History, is repeating itself in Poland.' . Division, f.u'
tional differences, clashing futile ambitions, were respon
sible for the defeat and .dismemberment of the onee power-
tul kingdom and it would seem that centuries of slaven
aud sutfei-yig have not taught wisdom. The conduct ot
the provisional goveninieut indicates that the Pole bus
not lost his fatal faculty for quarreling and his meddling
agaui threatens caianutr.
All of which should speed up the actioii of the peace
conference. The longer the delay in making peace, the
greater the ditnciuties to secure it. JNothmg is gamed by
dehiA' each hour adds to the complications: The peace
must be just and generous, though some of the victors
seem to have forgotten their promises and some of the
oppressed, peoples seem to have been liberated only to
start a- career or conquest for themselves.
KAISER'S FATHER
I
BERLIN. Dec. 15. (Corrcsoond-
ence of the Associated Press.) Less
than two years hefore William H, the
former German emperor, come to the
throne of Germany. Iiis father Fred
crick, considered it diineeroux to al
low him to have any band in the for-.
eicn politics of the German empire.
rredenek. in fact, had an extremely
low reirard for his! son's mental equip
ment and ability, and it is frankly set
forth in a' letter written to Bismarck.
September 28. 1886. from Portofino.
Itnlv. and which has iast been made
public. ;- ; "'
William's principal defects at that
time, as his father saw them, were
"his habit of makine snap judgment.
in a manner tending to exasperation."
lack of "actual Icamine" which was
"still full of sraps," nntf-'iin inclinin
ation to conceit." Here is the text of
the letter:
"Mv son. Prince Wilhelm, lias
without mv previous knowledge cx
oresscd the wish to his maicstv
(William I ; Frederick then was still
the crown prince) to become better
acquainted with the operations of
our ministers during the comiur win
ter, and I learn that it is intended to
employ him in the foreign office.
"Inasmuch as I have received no
official communications to that ef
fect.' I ani compelled to turn to you
in confidence to learn what has real
ly been decided upon, and further to
declare that, despite the fact that I
am in favor in principle of introduc
inir my son into Question of the hishe'r
administration, I um deeply opposed
to having him begin at the foreign of
fice. For in new of tho importance
of the tasks to' be entrusted to the
prince. I consider it imperative that
lie shall first of all thorougnlv learn
the internal conditions of his own
land and have the feeling that he un
derstands tbera thoroughly before he.
with his habit of making snap judg
ments tending to exaggeration, bus
ies himself with politics.
"His actual learning is still full of
saps, and at the same time he lacks
the proper foundation, and for this
reason it is absolutely necessary that
his education be improved and com
pleted. If he could be assigned to the
office of a civilinn pdvisorv official,
and if he could later be connected
with or even given a cost in one of
the administrative ministries, it would
serve this purpose. But. in view of
the immuturitv as well of the inexper
ience of rav.eidest son. and also of his
inclination to conceit, i am compelled
to declare that it is ' absolute! v dan
gerous to bring him into touch with
auestions- of foreign policy nt this
l time. . And while begeing you to con
sider mv communication as strictlv
confidential. I count pn vour support
in this matter, whicli causes me grave
anxiety.'? .' ;. ,.
