There has been a marked friendliness since the World war between the great republic of the Weston hemisphere and the new republic of Central Europe, and a loan of many millions has gone from the former to help place the latter on a strong financial foundation. American business methods have captured the Imagination and admiration of the Poles, and scarcely a work on scientific management is published i- In your back yard from cabbage leaves * '.vi,;- to your Sunday linen and even the Clothes line, nothing save the grjodeacaping her maw the Twenty-five Years Ago Measles is keeping many of children out of school this week.

Poland has industries that were begun before the discovery of America, but some of them are being rejuvenated by American methods under the guidance of American engineers. Oldest of Poland's Industries to be affected by new methods are her salt mines which were adding to the savor of Central European foods as early as the Tenth century. The first Iron forge began operations In 1333 and may be looked upon as the beginning of the iron founding industry which now contributes millions of dollars worth of values each year to Polish manufacture. An important lumber industry, based on timber lands covering 52,000 acres, was begun In the Eighteenth century. A tree most be ninety years old before It is cut The entire forest area of the country la more than 22,000,000 acres. One of Poland's most interesting Industries Is a plant for building railway equipment that was Btarted in Napoleonic times as a wagon factory. The textile Industry keeps more than 3,000,000 spindles busy, and there are numerous factories for the manufacture of paper, chemicals, and metal articles. Only Germany, which Is. Poland's nearest western neighbor, exports more goods to the country than does the United States. In a recent year the United States furnished approximately 16 per cent of all Polish Imports. Old Poland Resurrected. The Poland of today is not an entlrely new entity. She is rather a resurrection of the old Poland which once was one of the greatest nations of Christendom. In size she outranked nearly every nation of the continent. Russia alone of the European nations Is larger than Poland was at her greatest. In population she stood at the forefront of Europe: only Russia and Germany had greater populations before the war than are to be found in the lands that once were Poland; for unpartitloned Poland had an area of 282,000 square miles, and the lands that once lay within her 'boundaries support a population of approximately 50,000,000. In area she was as large as the former Oerman empire, Switzerland, Belgium, Holland and Denmark together; larger than Great Britain, Italy and Greece combined; large*- than Austria-Hungary and Servla in one. Within what were her boundaries there dwells a present population larger than the combined populations of Great Britain and Belgium; larger than those of France, Belgium and Holland together; and matching that of the old Austria- Hungary. Poland was three times partitioned. and these partltlonlngs were readjusted between the partitloners by the congress of Vienna In 1815. Where the original partitions had given Russia 181,000 square miles, Prussia 54,- 000 square miles, and Austria 45,000 square miles, the reapportionment of the Vienna congress gave Russia 220,- 300, Prussia 26,000, and Austria 35,- 000 square miles. Much of the land which Prussia secured. ^Tlnd particularly Kiev, had been identified with Russia generations before. Poland, in the days of her greatest area, extended from a point within B0 miles of Berlin, on the west, to the meridian of the sea of Asov on the east; on the north it reached nearly to the Gulf of Finland and on the sooth down to the Khanate of Crimea. Former Russian Poland. What was known before the World war as Russian Poland Is that neck of territory stretching westward between the Prusslas and Gallcia. This territory has an area almost exactly equal to that of New York state, yet. In spite of the fact that Its extreme southern boundary lies north of the latitude of Winnipeg, Its population Is as great as those of New York and New Jersey combined, Former Russian Poland, In this limited sense, consists of a great plain, soiuewhar undulatttig, with att Average elevation of about 400 feet, Blowing. upward toward the highlands of Galicia on the sonth and toward the swelling ground paralleling the Baltic on the north. It joins the lowlands of western Germany with the great plain of western Russia. Its rivers are slow and sluggish, with their mouths often but a few dozen feet below their sources and seldom more than a few hundred feet below. Their basins intricately interpenetrate one another, and the frequent inundations of these basins have covered them with a very rich alluvial soil. Russian Poland usually has a winter somewhat similar to that of New England. There is an even cold, with not a great deal of snow, but often with razoredged winds from the northward. The rivers of this region usually freeze over about the middle of December, and the Vistula is under ice for approximately 80 days during the average winter. > In the Eighteenth century, when the city of Warsaw, next to Paris, was the most brilliant city in Europe, this flat plain was unusually rich in herds and geese flocks, though almost bare of manufactures. Poland's history has been a tragic one through the ages. Next to the Russians, they are numerically the most Important of the Slavs. They first appeared In Great, or North, and Little, or South, Poland in the Tenth century, where they found other Slavic tribes in possession. The wise policy of their kings early Induced the whole nation to profess Christianity. People Have Changed Little. Of medium size, with round heads and healthful faces, the blond more common than the brunet, their physical appearance has apparently changed little. The working classes, who constitute nine-tenths of the nation, have always been laborious, frugal, enduring, temperate rather than abstemious, and intensely patriotic. Their szlacta, or nobles, have shown themselves impetuous, brave to rashness, chivalrous, insubordinate, emotional, artistic. During the formative period Poland was consolidated by the dynasty of the great Lithuanian, Jagellon, the Polish Wadislaus II--a succession of princes unsurpassed In constructive ability. Union with the Lithuanians^ doubled the population and the^-national resources. • Together they crushed the Teutonic knights at Tan-" nenberg in 1410 and half a century; later at the peace of Thorn pushed^ them east of the Vistula. The Polish lands on the Baltic, together with Danzig and Marleuberg, were recovered. The Duchy of Mazovia, ofc which Warsaw was the center, five centuries Independent, voluntarily joined the kingdom which a few years later spanned Europe from the Balti<l to the Black sea. The Reformation* regarded with a suspicion as having *: German origin, only for a time disr turbed the country. The advantageous situation of the kingdom, the admirable qualities of Its common people, and the development already attained, seemed to assure the greatness and permanence of the Polish state. Yet in Poland's history there is disappointment on every page. The brilliant passages are episodes without connection or result Nowherfe else is so much valor wasted. The chasm was always widening be> tween the nobles and the common people. The people paid all the taxes. The nobles, all equal, possessed all the wealth and power, but had no sense of obligation or responsibility. Intrepid in battle, they were ready to fight for the country only when so Inclined. Downfall and Partition. The system of government was oligarchic In the extreme. Succession to the powerless throne was elective, native or foreigner alike eligible. Each election was an orgy of turbulence and bribery. Twice the throne was put up at auction. The llberum veto, established in 1652, whereby the negative vote of a single member of the diet nullified any act or all the acts of all the rest, culminated In anarchy and eventually brought about the destruction of Poland. Yet the criminal follies of a privileged class in no -way excuse or palliate the iniquity of the three partitions of Poland in 1773, 1793 and 1795 by Prussia, Russia and Austria. Poland has enriched the world In music, art, and literature. The na tlonal dances, the polonaise and the mazurka, were always accompanied by singing. Copernicus is-Poland's great est name. Slenklewlcz, victim of the World war, by many considered the most brilliant writer of the day, wa> a Pole, as is Paderewwkl.
