Sees Stronger Polish Nation
Arising From European Struggle
100-Year-Old Forecast Says Warsaw's Fall
To Herald Era Of Peace For Whole World
By ERIC
P. KELLY
Professor Kelly, author of “The Trumpeter of Krakow” and
a former member of the Krakow University faculty, was recently
named to the Commission for Polish Relief formed in this country.
The collapse of Polish defense
in the face of German armies came
as a great surprise to those of us who had followed Polish matters since
1918. Although Herr Hitler himself
estimates his casualties at somewhere !
around 45,000 in the month of fighting, it had seemed at an earlier period
that a sharper defense might have been put up on the Vistula forts,
chiefly around Modlin with its long communicating lines.
Hitler’s quick victory seem to be

Reasons for
known in London, and the delayed
mobilization of the Polish army
which could have assembled 6,-
000,000 men and barely got 1,000,-
000 together may have been in line
with the ‘‘appeasement’ policy pur-
sued by all the Allies.
"Yet Poland is taking the blame
herself, and wants no pity from
anyone. If the money spent in Po-
land in the past 20 years on schools,
improvements, art museums, and
general betterment had all been
turned into the building of vast
Maginot lines, the results might
have been different. As it was the
cost of maintaining a large army in
that period went into enormous fi-
gures.
In the pre-War propaganda bat-
tles Poland suffered immensely,
i with an almost constant barrage
lof words against her in countries
fixed on her territory of Pomer-
ania and troubles among minori-
the
Ku Klux Klan
cow into major incidents. William | I- Bagger, D. D., president of Pitts- | bazaar
J. Rose, a former Dartmouth pro-
fessor now director of the School
of Slavonic Studies of the Univer-
sity of London, states in his recent
book Poland that in the area which
was Poland, the actual Polish pop-
ulation was seven-tenths of the
ing been Polish for more than 500
years.
Such a situation as this has come
on Poland before. And in its history
against Tartars, Turks and Russians
in their attempts to conquer West-
ern Euyope. The Polish poet Mickie-
wicz stated in a poem written about
Warsaw, peace would come in the
whole world. The first great siege
of Warsaw was by the Swedes, the
second by the Russians in 1920. The
present siege was the third. Well,
we can only hope. But to me there
is no question that Poland will arise
again, profiting by the mistakes of
the past 20 years, and will rebuild
its nation in a form to attain per-
manency.

Iron Fireman is not a pop-on,
pop-off source of heat like an oil or
gas burner. In between operations
of the Iron Fireman, the fire in the
retort is automatically banked, and
it continues to give off a gentle flow
of heat. The banked fuel bed acts
as a balance wheel, preventing vio-
lent fluctuations in temperatures.

FEWER PEOPLE PAY $2 ;
PER CAPITA TAX THAN /
PAID $5 TAX INA938
~~.
Last Spring the | frusting
school directors of Dallas Bor-
ough, casting about for some
way to satisfy the cry for lower
taxes, slashed the long-stand-
ing per capita tax from $5 to
2.
It was assumed that, with a
$3 reduction, more people
would pay their per capita tax.
But on October 1, when the
school district studied the pay-
ments to that date, it was dis-
covered that fewer people had
paid the $2 tax this year than
had paid the $5 tax last year.
Seeking an explanation, the
directors could only guess that
the penalty on $2 paid late is
so much less than the penalty
on $5 past due that taxpayers
had decided to take their time
in paying.
More Than 3,000
Years Of War

were compiled recently by an army

Firemen Receive
Funds From State
Luzerne's Share $689;
Dallas Will Get $190
Auditor General Warren R.
Roberts yesterday approved the
payment of $42,214.46 from the
Foreign Fire Insurance Fund to
municipalities in Luzerne County.
The entire amount is to be paid
to the firemen’s relief asociations
and pension funds in each locality.
The sums to be received by local
communities are: Courtdale, $52.73;
Dallas, $190.12; Luzerne, $689.67;
Swoyerville, $435.63; Dallas Town-
ship, $146.87; Lake Township,
$184.71; Lehman Township, $131.82.
The fund represents the annual
tax of two per cent paid by foreign
fire insurance companies doing bus-
iness in Pennsylvania upon pre-
miums paid in each municipality.
The law requires that this money
be paid to the treasurer of the re-
lief association in each municipal-
ity.

Moon's Eclipse
Visible Tonight
Midnight Black-Out
The Last Until-}942
The celestial time table will pro-
vide local people tonight with their
first eclipse of the moon this year.
The eclipse will begin at 11:54
p. m. when the moon, high in the
Southern sky, will begin to move
into the earth’s shadow.
The shadow on the moon will
reach 98 per cent coverage when
the satellite appears orange or red
with a slender tracing of white
showing at the lower left edge. The
moon will begin to emerge from the
shadow at 1:36 a. m. It will be clear
at 3:18 a. m.
This section was out of luck when
there was a partial eclipse of the
sun last April 19. It was cloudy
here.
Two other eclipses were paraded
before the world’s telescopes this
year: A total eclipse of the moon
on May 3, visible only on the other
side of the earth, and a total eclipse
of the sun visible from near the
South Pole October 12.
Tonight's moon eclipse will be
visible from one end to the other of
the Americas. This section won't
have another chance to see it until
August 25, 1942,
