EYEWITNESS TELLS OF CRUELTY OF REDS TO POLISH PRISONERS

(By Associated Press)

The following letter Is given

texlually as received from Warsaw as

the simple but graphic report of an

American eye-witness' visit to the bat-

trefront and his statement as to

extreme cruelties against Polish

troops. .The letter Is accompanied by

a number of photographs showing the

Polish victims of these atrocities,

The letter is written on the letterhead of the Polish Mechanics' company, inc.. having branches in New York,

Chicago and Detroit, and was signed

by the president of that company:

"WARSAW We left good United States under the impression that most what has been written about Bolshe

viks was full of lies. Stories of Pol

ish soldiers, describing cases of the most refined cruelties practiced upon captured Polish commissioned and

non-commissioned officers and soldiers, could not change our views. "On August 25 we had an opportun

ity to be convinced by 'seeing and touching' the deeds of red knights. "Our Ford truck, loaded with bread, underwear, sweets, cigarettes and soap, left Warsaw with decision to reach the fighting columns. We passed through Jablonna and Serock and stopped in Pultusk, where a crowd of women surrounded policeman and spy, disguised as a woman. In the middle of the market we found the grave of a Bolshevik chief who captured Pultusk, but was killed at the end of, the battle. Approach Battle Line "Next day we approached the battle line in Chorzele. We met the first killed man by the road. Red army soldier, lying on his back with eyes looking toward Warsaw. He wore the coat of a Polish soldier, but was robbed of everything else by his own comrades.

"A few yards further we found four Polish soldiers, captured by the red army, undressed and then murdered in the most beastly manner. One thousand Polish infantry were fighting for 14 hours 8,000 Russians. When finally the Polish line was broken, Russians began to yell: "Comrades, stop fighting; you are surrounded." A group of 45 Polish soldiers were captured, undressed and every one was murdered in the most horrible way with sabres. "In Chorzele we met a group of Bolshevik prisoners; fifteen per cent of them were barefooted, poorly dressed, many of them in Polish uniforms and 6ick of fighting. Every one of them Claimed that he was forced to fight by Communists and there was one among them who brought with him 30 Polish prisoners. Fight in Large Bands. "Large groups of Russians, usually commanded by commissaries, fight very well, but small bands and single soldiers throw their arms and surrender. They were brought into Poland under promises that there will be universal uprising of workers and peasants and easy capture of Warsaw. Bolshevik commanders promised their men seven days of freedom in Warsaw, so that everybody would have chance to rob and plunder "unlimited treasures stored in the Polish capital. "The attack upon Warsaw cost Bolsheviks 70,000 men in killed and wounded, 100,000 captured, 80,000 disarmed by Prussians. The war is not over. A Siberian army was rushed

against tired, but enthusiastic and victorious Polish legions and another supreme effort of the heroic nation will be needed to protect democracy and liberty. "Polish citizens condemned the Jewish attitude, but have shown no desire to do them any harm. From our point of view the population and the government are too careless and too lenient with criminals acting against the government and country which gave them shelter and unlimited privileges.

Five Minutes with Our Presidents

CHESTER ALAN ARTHUR

The public anxiety for Garfield through his long battle, with death was deepened by a general dread of the vice-president succeeding to the presidency. The people as a whole knew nothing of Chester Alan Arthur except that he had been only lately removed frm the collectorship of the port of New York as a machine politician, and that he had been nominated for the vice-presidency as a henchman of Roscoe Conkling. He had practiced law in New York City for a quarter of a century without winning distinction at the bar. Even in the upheaval of the Civil war he remained in comparative obscurity as the quartermaster general of the state. After the war he arose to be the Republican boss of New York City, with his headquarters in the custom house. True to the type, he preferred to remain always behind the scenes, making few speeches and never becoming a candidate for an elective office until his nomination for the second highest office in the land. If Arthur had not been put out of the custom house he never would have

May "Call Up" Europe By Wireless Telephone For Diplomatic Reports NEW BRUNSWICK, N. J., Oct. IS. Possibilities of "calling up" far-off foreign countries on the wireless telephone for reports of important diplomatic situations are being considered by more than 150 diplomats and state department officials who arrived here from Washington on a special train early today. They stopped here on the first leg of an inspection tour of the leading wireless stations along the Atlantic coast. The program for the forenoon included a demonstration at the naval radio station here, of the apparatus that kept President Wilson in telephonic conned ion with America on his return trip from the Paris peace conference. The party planned to leave this afternoon for Albany and Schenectady, Y.. where tliey will spend tomorrow Inspecting the laboratories of the General Electric company, returning to Xtw York Wednesday.

three "Stalwarts" flamed up with

rage at the challenge to them from the new administration. When the New York senators resigned their seats and appealed to the legislature of their state to re-elect them as a protest against the administration the spectacle of the vice-president descending to that melee lent color to the already unfavorable impression of him in the public mind. When in the midst of the fight and

; a losing fight, Garfield was shot, the

American people revolted at the thought that Arthur and the "Stalwarts" should profit by the assassination. The public mind revolted also at the prospect of a political boss enthroned in the white house, with his motley following about him. The popular picture of Arthur, as a city politician out of the pages of Puck, was distorted and untrue, simp ly because the background was omitted from it. The real, the native character of the man had been shaped in surroundings very different from those in which the country found him when he first came under Its attention. Born in Vermont to a Baptist minister, a man of education and high principles, who had come over from Ireland and who soon afterward settled in New York state, Arthur had grown up in village parsonages, where the living was plain and the thinking high.

Writer of War Stories Recuperating Health LONDON Ward Muir, the lanky Scotchman whose hospital stories made the big Third London General hospital famous during the war, has gone to Switzerland for a protracted stay. His recent book of Bhort stories, "Adventures in Marriage," was no sooner off his hands than overwork, coming on top of his strenuous years at the "Third London." brought about a breakdown which finally has compelled him to seek real rest. It is Muir's grudge against the war that, instead of sending him to the front, sidetracked him into the royal army medical corps, and put him to work as an orderly in a London military hospital. His service here, however, made him an institution among war authors. While the fighting

fronts were crowded with writers, Muir stood practically alone among those who described the hospital end of the great war.

After a lot of difficulties he managed to get a fair team into shape, and it was decided to challenge a neighboring school. A match was finally arranged, and the clergyman impressed on the youngsters that they must do their best to win. To encourage them he gave them 15 rupees for msw bats or other tackle, and left it to themselves to spend the money on what might be considered useful. When the great day came, the team turned out for the match. On the face of every one of them shone the light of a quiet confidence in their success, but they carried all their old tackle.
