FOR RECOGNITION
General Pilsudski Wants
Allies to. Give Support
' to Government
DECLARES GUNS NEEDED
1- Army Required to Avoid Civil
l War and Thwart Bolshe
vik Agents
By the Associated Press
Warsaw, Dec. 16.
The Government of Poland should bo
'recognized by all the Allied powers In
order to deal properly with tho situation
. In "Poland, General Joseph Pll'udskl, the
' .military head of the present gocrnment,
told a correspondent In nn Inter lew.
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.
' "I am a strong admirer of America.
It 'was my good fortuno to lslt there
In 1905, although it was only for a
few days during a jump across the
continent."
In an Interview regarding reports of
anti-Jewish outbreaks in Polish terri
tory, Noah Prlluckl, a prominent Jewish
member of the Municipal Council, a
leader of the Jewish Nationalist party
and Vi lawyer, said:
'In regard tq pogroms, I have knowl
edge that they occurred at two places,
Klelce and Lcmberg. 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."

Amsterdam, Dec. 10. f(By A. P.)
Poland has severed relations with Ger
many, according to a telegram received
In Berlin from Warsaw.
Poland, as a reason for the rupture,
accuses the German authorities In oc
cupied provinces of nctlng contrary to
Polish Interests and working with the
Bolshevlkl. At the request of tho Polish
Government, Governor . General von
Bescler and the entire staff of the Ger
man mission, will leave the territory of

DUCHESS BLAMES
KAISER FOR WAR
Crown Prince's Mother-in-
Law Says Whole German
People Are Guilty
HAS IDEAS FOR RUSSIA
By the Associated Press
. Geneva, Dec 16.
Germany made . a great blunder In
entering the war and should admit that
she was In tho wrong, Bays the Gracd
Duchess Anastaslo of Mccklenburg
Schwerln, mother of the one tlmo Ger
man Crown Princess, In an Interview to
day. The Grand Duchess, who is a Prus
sian and a cousin of the late Nicholas
Romanoff, who was Russian Kmperor,
came to Geneva 'at the outbreak of the
war, and now la about to go to tho
Riviera for her health. She had many
relatives lighting against one another
on all fronts.
i The correspondent was the first new s
paper man she had talked with since
the beginning of the war. Replying to
a question about William Hohcnzollern
and the one time Crown Prince, she said.
1-utiit; 111411 ,
"ThAPA 1m a enlanlfrl vmH.
languago: 'Don't hit a man when he Is
down.' Let us observe this pr"nclPle
i.i .. .... . . iJimi-iyie,
thls sporting principle, during our con
versation." Asked why she had lef Germany as
; T . ;hJt.'7'cii"f ""?": "I
;;:;,, h "IV. A:?"11Z..Z' "ary!thev sneak in lavish terms of Amer
operations, the Grand Duchess replied
i could not remnln In a country that
had declared war on my own country
Russia. This war came as a great bur.
prlBo to mo and my son (Frederick
Franz IV, Grand Duke of Mecklenburg
fa'chwerln, who abdicated several weeks
qgo), although wo were In constant
toich with the royal families of Ger
many, Russia and Denmark. 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. The Allies do not seem to under
sand the situation clearly. About 78
per cent of the Russians have respect
for only two things, God and the Czar.
The peasants now say: -we nave no.
Ar-ni- whnm shall Wfl obev?" "
"It will take the population fifty
years to understand the meaning of the
words 'republic' and 'president' The
Russian people want some one to
worship, because It is their old custom,
their religion and their lives Let tho
Allies take note and help poor Russia
before It Is too late."

Cobleni. Dec. 16 America is now
the subject of one of the most earnest
and determined propaganda campaigns
ever undertaken by Germanv. Our part
In the war Is being used as an npologv

There one has the situation In a nut-
mien. j.nc uerman politicians are piay
Ing up America as a great friend at the I
Peaco Conference, counting on Wilson
to save them from the wrath of Hngland
and France.
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. It
Is asserted that all Is changed and
I "elon America should be lenient.

that the same Germans who are now
fawning will be laughing at us When
lea's greatness and say that the world
knows America seeks nothing irom
Germany, Jhcy really appear to mean j
that America BecKs no minions in
treasure and, theiefore, they reason
and hope that America will persuade
France and Great Britain not to ro
qulre German gold by way of recom
