GENERAL HALLER
GOES TO POLAND
He and His Army Return to
Native Land to Fight
Enemy
Paris, May 27.—Eight times out
of ten when an American soldier
met a man in the characteristic hori
zon blue uniform that he had come
to associate exclusively with the
French army, and wearing a queer,
square tarn O'shanter and a white
eagle on a red patch on his collar,
and began to talk to him in broken
French, the reply would come back
in choice Americanese:
"Hey, Buddy, talk United States.
It's easier to understand."
For the blue-uniformed men were
of the Polish legion, American citi
zens in forty cases out of a hun
dred. and eighty per cent, of them
spoke English, while the sixty per
cent., which had not yet been fully
naturalized, held their first papers
for American citizenship.
Last month when their comman
der, General Haller, left Paris for
his native land, accompanied by his
staff, another link binding Poland
to the western world was forged.
The General and his party formed
the advance guard of the two divi
sions of Poles. 30.000 in all, who are

How to (Jain Flesh, Strength aiul
Greater Power of Endurance
Simply drink plenty of good, plain
water and take a little Systoxem af
ter means, is the tip now going the
rounds in well-informed circles.
Many who try this simple home
method are agreeably surprised at
the rapid increase in weight,
strength and power of endurance.
They say it quickly helps put renewed
vim and energy into old folks and
is a regular boon to thin, weak,
nervous, run-down young people, of
ten increasing their weight and
strength in three weeks' time. One
well-known writer on body-building,
health, etc., says: "It is like giving
sunshine and water to a withering
plant."
The large supply of Systoxem re
cently received here by Geo. A. Gor
gas. Kennedy's Drug Store, and other
leading druggists indicates a grow
ing and wide-spread demand for this
compound by intelligent readers in
this city who are keeping abreast of
the times. And as Systoxem is not
a secret remedy, requiring the pre
scription of a physician, thousands
of thin, delicate, run-down men and
women will naturally be benefitted.

to leave Paris as soon as transporta

them.
Reunited in V, S.
The divisions were recruited in
large part in the United States from
Poles who volunteered for service
on the western front because they
had learned to value the lessons of
democracy. When the job here was
finished they yearned to go on to the
land of their fathers and to assist
in delivering it from its long con
tinued bondage. They believe that
even their presence there will have
a beneficial moral effect, but they go
prepared to fight the German, the
Russian, the hybrid Bolshevist or
whoever it may be that offers resist
ance to the long suppressed desire
for freedom of their kinsmen.
With General Haller went five
V. M. C. A. secretaries, and three
more followed within a few days.
Ten cars of the train were stocked
with tobacco, cakes, chocolate, ath
letic equipment and motion picture
outfits—sso,ooo worth of supplies
and paraphernalia purchased by the
"Y" and presented to the Polish
army.
The American Y. M. C. A. secre
taries, like the Poles in the United
States, enlisted for war wotk with
the allied and associated armies on
the western front. Now though the
armtistice has been signed, and the
peace negotiations appear to be
reaching a conclusion, they purpose
to give the Polish nationalists exact
ly the same hut service as the dough
boys were enjoying at their hands a
few months ago, and as those still
remaining in Germany, France and
Belgium are still receiving.
To Remain With Troops
The Y. M. C. A. men who are ac
companying General Haller to Po
land are prepared to remain just as
long as the troops themselves. Most
of them ministered to the Polish di
visions in France and it was at the
request of the army heads that they
joined the present expedition.
In the party were Walter S.
Schutz. who has been selected as
general secretary for the associa
tion in Poland: Stanley Modra of
Brooklyn, who received a Croix de
Guerre for notable service at Cha
teau-Thierry; Burt H. Winchester,
of Newark, New Jersey, and the
University of Michigan; the Rev.
T. M. Kingsley, pastor of the Peo
ple's Congregational Church, Chi
cago; Harry L. Olmstead, Danbury,
Connecticut; Burt W. Welsh, Nenton,
Kansas; Thomas F. Russell, Spring
field, Massachusetts, and Eric P. Kel
ly, Melrose, Massachusetts. The party
also includes one Y. M. C. A. woman.
Miss Wanda M. Gorkiewicz, a Pole
who has recently been living in
Smyrna.

Governor Uses Ax Again Gov
ernor Sproul has vetoed the House
bill providing that damage done to
farms, orchards and apiaries shall
be paid out of the hunters' license
fund, $15,000 of which is set aside
for the purpose. The Governor says:
"This bill would introduce a new
policy into the State. The purpose,
of course, is to encourage the open
ing of lands for hunting, but if there
is to :.o compensation for damage
done by bears, there is no reason
why there should not be compensa
tion under the same conditions for
damage done by deer which some
times injure gardens and damage
fruit trees or by rabbits which nib
ble growing vegetables and girdle
trees. I do not think the State
should adopt the principle of pay
ing for damages done by wild game
nor do I feel that the funds raised
by the license upon hunters should
be dissipated in any such man
ner."
Fisher Reappointed—Commission
er of Banking John S. Fisher, of In
diana, was reappointed under the
bill reorganizing his department.
To ITint Memorial*— The Gov
ernor has approved the resolutions
for printing memorial addresses on
the Senatorial careers of the late
Senators McNichol, Graft and Smith.
No Hearing—No hearing will be
held this week on the administra
tion bill to change the compensa
tion code percentages, it was stated
by men interested in the measure.
Employers and State officials are
having the effect of the proposed
changes and the amendments sug
gested by the employers studied by
actuaries.
Ho tail Protests—District Attorney
Samuel P. Rotan, of Philadelphia,
asked Governor Sproul to veto the
Walker bill providing for a change
in the parole act. Many district
attorneys of the State have asked
that the bill, not/ in the Governor's
hands, be vetoed.

of the proposed closing of the State
