yyith tlie Trench Armlen, June 23
Your correspondent witnessed cstcrday
the rebirth of n nation when the Trefl
dent of the Trench republic gave flags
to the regiments if the Polish national
armv. no longer (lie Polish legion.
Tor the first time in over a hundred
ears the white eagle of Poland, mi Its
crimson ground waves over Huropean
battlefield" The ancient warrior jaca i
that a century of oppression haft been
unable to Mihdtte spcs again the s.vmbol
of Its independence that has been so
long forbidden undei pain of death
Tollsli war songs that had echoed
through 1000 vears of almost continual
fighting once more rang out unchecked,
and the ocs of soldiers who had fought
this war from tho beginning were glis
tening with tears at the first realiza
tion of the dream that four generations
of Polish patriots had pursued In vain.
Poincare PreKcnts Ile
In a short speech of extraordinary
eloquence n'nd sincerity President Poin
care nfllrmed thi resolve of France to
fight for Poland's freedom at, for that,
of her own ravished nrovinces The
flags lie presented, he said, were given t
by Nancy, the capitnl of despoiled
Iirraltie; Belfort the hill fortress that
lools over toward Alsace, Verdun, the
citadel of llbert'" iosistanc and Paris,
the heait of France. The other Allies
had given the same promise at the Ver
sailles conference, and the greatest of
all, America, through the mouth of her
President, had set forth Poland's Inde
pendence, absolute and complete by ac
cess to the sea, as one of the prime
objects of the war she was waging so
unselfishly.
Cheer rromle of V. S.
The last words were greeted with a
burst of cheering that rolled along the
line fiotn company to company, for
more than hilf the Polish soldiers had
come from free America to risk their
llvei that their home land might enjoy
equal llherty
In the regiments already constituted
with their own officers, artillery, air
men and cavalrj, every man Is a vol
unteer, mid many already wear the
badge of courage that Prance referves
for the bravest. One of tho standard
bearers at yesterday's ceremony was
Lieutenant C'hods'eko, w hose leg w as torn
off as he charged with a French regi
ment In an attack on a Pomme position
two ears ago As he lav on the Held
fainting, he cried "I die for France and
Poland," but hy a miracle his life was
saved, and now, so crippled that he re
oulred a sergeant's arm to support him

Chodseko'ri face was chalk white as
he took the flag from the hand of the

After the ceremony was ended he told
me of,the terrible Artols battle of May
9 1815 in which the Polish company
o'f which he and a handful were the only
survivors fought side by side with -vol-unteers
from America. Now again, he
said his countrymen and the Americans
wouid battle together against German
tjranny. but this time the Poles' would
be reckoned by thousands and the
Americans hy millions.

decorated with tho French war cross,
spoke of the plans for the Tolish army
and of what the Poles In America could
do to help them. Now that official rec
ognition has been given of their force
as an independent, ally, they expect
thousands of recruits from the large
Polish population of the United States.
The sons of the race that had held
Europe's frontier against the Turks and
smashed the barbarous Order of Teu
tonic Knights In one of the bloodiest
battles ot history, he said, would not be
deaf to tho call. Those who had or
ganized the force, he said, expected to
be able to create and maintain a large
army, pnee their countrymen across the
Atlantic were assured of American sym
pathy and co-operation.

Germany and her allies are on some- I

these days Not onl has the fatherland
had to rush food supplies to Austria
out of her own slender stock, and to her
bluntly expressed annojance, but Hun
gary, regarding anrther matter.' Is not
showing sufllcient deference to Germany
to please the German press.
The latter trouble began with an in
terview which the German Vice Chan J
cellor Von Payer, gave regarding the
extending and strengthening of the alli
ance between Germany and the Central
I'mpires He drew a pk turc of the allied
countries as "ne great trade region, with
common Interests " and foreshadowed
the falling away ot customs barriers
and an extensive and long date economic
agreement.
All this alarmed Hungary It sounded
In Magyar cars like Gcrmanlzatlon, a
joke under which Hungary's ruling caste
has no desire to throw itself or Hun
gary: o that countrj's' press immedi
ately began to point out her claims to
look after herself regarding her own
Interests, especially In promoting against
all comers her own Industrie and In
holding and increasing her trade mar
kets. Oppoite Teutonic Terms
The matter was discussed in parlia
ment Count Michael Karolji, leader of
the Independent pirty, came out strongly
against strengthening tho alliance with
Germany. He would, he said, continue
to work against It as well ns for peace
Count Tlsza, Hungary's powerful re
actionary partv (eider, though declaring
himself in favor of an alilanvo with the
falheilantl. sal it ronld only lie
strengthened ami extended on Hungary
own terms
He said Hting.tr) would not be "a
party to an alliance on Von Paer'n
terms," as they involved conditions which
could not bo accepted by Hungary. The
German Vice Chancellor was warned
that "he must revise his terms If ho is
seriously regarding an alliance with
Hungary "
Prime Minister Wekerle said there
could bo no strengthened alliance which
prevented Hungary from making and
stiengthening alliances with other coun
tries' as well
Tlerlln Aluo THMnrbrd
Berlin political and diplomatic circles
naturally are very perturbed by this
independent attitude of Hungary and
the. pi ess comment is couched both in
sorrow anil anger
The Tagllsche RundFchaii, for Instance
refers to the "diseased fear" of Hun
gary for closer relations with Germany,
and the matter In certainly not smoothed
over by Von Paver's rejoinder that he
spoke in a theoretic and academic sense
Nor Is the contretemps a happy augury
for tho negotations regarding tho future
terms of alliance which begin at an
early date.

The misguided people who, for one
reaon or another, fled from Tarls under
the pressure of recent events, quickly
found reason to regret tlie bad example
they set to tho vast majority of inhabit
ants. Prices had been fixed by the food con
troller for milk, meat, bread and other
supplies, and they found It Impossible to
i procure the necessaries of llfo except at
a much higher cost than In the capital,
while terms for hotel accommodation In
many districts now beat all records.
Where formerly a room cost ?1 a night
four times that amount Is now charged.
Similar conditions obtain In nearly all'
provincial towns, owing to the enormous
Infills; of the working and professional
classes engaged In munition and kindred
Industries connected with the war. The
Inciease of the population In some of
these towns is phenomenal. The popula

"We expect jou to put Italy hors du
combat." said Emperor William to
Charles In their famous meeting after
the publication of the letter to Prince
Slxtus. .when the Kaiser had called the
Hapsburg monarch to Canossa. This
utterance was more a threat than an
expresslon-of trust ln,hls ally.
Tho Austrian were still smarting
under the "humiliation of having had to
beseech help from Germany In the pre
vious offensive of October. Therefore,
the Emneror of the dual monarchy In
structed General Boroevlo to bring Italy
to her knees, whatever the cost. The
Austrian general 'taking the command of
his Emperor literally, sent his men to
Te butchered1 without the slightest hesi
tation, so long as tho objectives fixed In
advance were attained.

Their plan was to ;ross the whole
Plavc line In fo"ur days and to settle In

Here is an enclosed car that is built for four people. In
other wbrds, although it is sufficiently roomy for the small
family.'it is designed to prevent that "lost" feeling when only

U. S. NO MENACE,
SAYS BARTHELME
Writer Assures Germany There
Is Nothing to Fear
From Amcjrica l -.
Special Cable to Evening Public Ledger
Cotvrioht, Itlt, bu Sew York Times Co.
The Hagne, June 23.
Gfrorge Barthejme, former Washington
correspondent of the Cologne Gazetta
who has written countless articles on
"America In that paper, as well ns given
numerous lectures, Is still drawing' on
his -imagination and so-called knowledge
of-. American politics. The longer he
stays away from America the more he
appears to know what In going on In
that far-away country, nnd, what Is
more, the Germans believe every word
as gospel truth.
This time. In Berlin, Barthelme has
given a lecture on the United States In
wartime, and once again enumerated the
reasons for which he asserted that
America declared war. He found new
reasons each time. This time it was
English Influepce In Government -circles
anti on icreign policy, and he dwelt on
the assertion that among the twenty
eight Presidents only ono non-English
name Is to bo found Roosevelt and
among the 400 cabinet members only two
Germans Carl Schurz and George von
Lengerke Meyr. '
There vvas even a British subject at
tho American Embassy In Berlin, Barth
elme said, Rnd, owing to the use of the
English languago (Barthelme does not
say what language Americans ought to
speak), Americans see everything
through English eyes. He spoke of tlie
scandal relating to shipbuilding and air
planes, and the alleged Incapacity of
onicers, and asked, "What have we to
fear, then, from America?"
Barthelme reminded the people of
General Wood's speech. In which he ex
plained that America was unprepared,
and even If she had enough men, 10,
000,000 tons of shipping would be needed
to. send them to Europe. "Therefore,"
he added, "we need not fear America
before 1919 or 1020, and that the Eng
lish know, as Lloyd George's speech
