HOW THE POLES IN RUSSIA LOST THEIR FREEDOM it: There are today approximately 200,- 000 Poles in the German and Austrian armies, and 400,000 Poles under arms for Russia who are opposing them. Military experts point out the pos­ sibility that the czar was aiming to Alienate the Polish soldiers of Russia's enemies when he issued his recent proclamation, promising autonomy for the ancient kingdom of Poland. Poland disappeared as an lnde- jPOTiU"* and Integral state' fig 1T71 when the first partition of the king­ dom was effected between Russia, Austria and Prusia. There was a second partition in 1793 and the third and last partition occurred in 1795. The division of the Polish kingdom among the three powers was re­ arranged by the congress of Vienna in 1815. In the rearrangement the shares of Prussia and Austria were reduced and the grand duchy of War- was added ti the Russian em­ pire. . This grand duchy of Warsaw was absolutely autonomous and inde­ pendent of Russia, the only bond of union being personal, the same mon­ arch being the sovereign of each state. In 1831 -the Poles, alleging abuses by Russia, arose in rebellion and were crushed utterly by the czar. Their constitution *m taken away, their parliament abolished, their army added to that of Russia and the Russian language was substituted for Polish and made compulsory. All post! were filled by Russians. DWOCRAT AND REPUBLICAN "i NOMINATED FOR UNITED 8TATE3 8ENATE.

Roehrbott. Washington, Sept. 14.--Dispatches from Constantinople by way of Rome announce that the foreign ambassa­ dors, including the German represen­ tative, have informed the Turkish gov­ ernment that the powers cannot ac­ cept abolitions of the treaty rights accorded foreigners. The American state department is without official advices. Washington, 8ept. 14.--Turkey's conduct has become a matter of con­ cern to the United States as well as to the allied governments. - Coincidental with the Ottoman 80vj> ernment's announcement of its abroga­ tion of the conventions and capitula­ tions under which foreigners have been accorded extra-territorial priv­ ileges in Turkish \erritory the Ger­ man embassy issued an official state­ ment alleging that Great Britain^ Rus­ sia and France had tried to bribe Turkey to remain neuftral. While this statement was being is sued Secretary Bryan was having a conference with the Turkish ambas­ sador, A. Rustem Bey, in which he suggested to the diplomat the propri­ ety of discontinuing his comments in newspapers on matters of domestic concern tp the United States. Presi­ dent Wilson had asked Secretary Bryan to call the- attention of the Turkish ambassador to recent state­ ments attributed to him in the news­ papers and to Inquire if they were authorized. The president and other officers of the administration are understood to have been greatly displeased with statements made, by the ambassador in a prepared interview which he fur­ nished to the press. In that interview the ambassador, in commenting on reports that Great Britain and France were trying to get this government to, send warships to Turkey to protect Christians, said the thought of dally lynchings in the South and memory of the water cures in the Philippines shiuld make Amer­ ican newspapers chary of attacking Turkey in connection with acts of savagery committed by her. There were other things in the Interview that were distasteful to the principal officers\of the administration. It is regarded as in the highest de­ gree offensive for a foreign diplomatic representative to pass strictures on affairs that pertain to the country to which he is accredited. The recall of the Turkish ambassa­ dor has not been aeked by the United States and there is no desire to ask for it if the offense is not repeated.
