General rilsudMtl, when only nine teen years old was arrested at Vllna, In Lithuania, his birthplace, and sent to Siberia and hla persecution by the Rus sian Government has endeared him to many Poles. His ancestors belonged to the nobility. General Pilsudski, while he Is tho military head of the Government, signs all government decrees' and Is con sidered tho cUll head also. The Government now Is In a period of transition," he said. "A permanent gov trnment will bo established after the January elections to the diet "I am neither a Socialist nor a Bol shevik, but a democrat. I think the Bolshevik danger Is Imminent In Poland unless we are able to put up a fence gainst the Russian Influence. Let me first say how happy I am that there Is a united Poland. Our Independence Is due entirely to the Allies, otherwise it would always have been a fiction. "We need'an army,'' he continued, "to avoid the danger of civil war, and to guarantee the frontiers against Bol shevik agents or the Infiltration of Ger man troops, particularly those, from the army of General Hoffman. These fac tors constitute a menace unless wo get help from the Allies In the form of arms. "Tho Germans are selling and giving arms to dangerous elements. 'It Is een declared that the Germans have deliv ered tho city of Minsk to the Bolshevlkl In return for 40,000 rubles. This has resulted In much suffering for the PollBh population there and the burning of houses and chateaux. "If the army of General Hoffman breaks up there Is danger that the 200, 000 men In It will drift over our fron tiers, robbing and causing disorders. "It is necessary that our Goemment be recognized by the Allies. At pres ent there are certain difficulties. The Polish committee In Paris represents parties not In accord with the others here, but this Internal matter Is be ing arranged. Personally I desire a compromise.

Four persona were killed at Klelce and 250 wounded. "It Is stated that 900 Jews were burled In Lemberg two weeks ago. I am In formed they were kilted by the regular Polish army because of unfounded re ports, printed In a Lcmberg newspaper, that the Jews were not neutral in. the flghflng there."

It has been said that not more than twenty persons In Germany "understood what a cruel mistake It was going to be. I was one of them. However, as I never meddled In politics and never Intend to, I was not able to lnterefere. "But I continue to think thai Germany made a great blunder In entering this terrible struggle, not only from a hu mane point of vtow, but also for politi cal and commercial reasons, as her com merce was prosperous. Now she has lost all. Germanv should recreato a political, financial and artistic nation by openly admitting: " W acted wrongly ; we are sorry-' " "If the Allies abandon Russia, Russia is lost.

Oar Rales Moderate At first blush one might easily say) that the cordial treatment of the Amer icans In Coblenz was duo Jo the fact that our army Imposed very moderae regulations and restrictions upon tho population compared to those of the French, British and Belgian armies. I put no faith In that, believing that no matter what restrictions were Imposed the treatment would be none the less fawning. German propaganda work Is thor-J ough, If anything. Not only has the army preached that America has won I the war, but it has instructed tne pop ulation to be kindly toward Americans and that this wauld pay. It has preached that America would feed Ger many. German eagerness to take advantage of the opportunity Is shown by the . cry of famine which went forth when the politicians said that America would I feed the nation. The starvation plea j has been proved falso by what the American Army of Occupation has seen If the testimony of what the troops have seen Is not enough, one of the German newspapers tho other dry re printed an American Army correspond ent's story sty Ing that food conditions in Northern France were worso than thoso In Germany, nnd concluded by Baying that that showed how well the German Army had fought Attentions Showered on Americans The fawning upon tho Americans takes many forms. Americans have but to enter a cafe to get the best tnblo and the best attention without asking It or wanting It. Forthwith the orchestra plays American tunes. They get Invitations to dinner and such things. They are told that America Is not really angry with tho Germcn people, that tho President did not like Wllhelm and von Tirpltz, but then neither do the Germans now, and, Any how, President Wilson never had any thing rgalnst tho German people.
