land and swam the Vistula riverSandomfera oh the border betweenRussia and Austria In this manner heescaped military service inarmy in Manchuria and started on hislong journey to America

Concealed in a tightly sealed rubbercase Mazurowski carried with him aletter to the American people from aPolish woman of noble birth His capture with that letter in his possessionwould have meant death not only tohimself as a deserter but death also tothe fair woman for whom he was act-Ing as messenger Knowing this everypossible precaution was taken that he

It is false that necessity compels Russia to the war The moral necessity wasto evacuate Manchuria a time set byherself It is false that the interests ofRussia required a further occupation

Not the interest of the people is hereat stake but the interest of a handfulof titled and untitled parasites whosend the people to massacre and to be

It is not enough that our brothers areperishing by thousands in a foreignlandj paying with their blood for theperfidy of that government which torefrom them their freedom and theirfatherland Our people are brought tothe last stage of misery Tens of thousands without work fathers who cannot feed their children walk the streetsof Warsaw and Lodz

Yet there is not enough misfortuneMobilization is announced Another40000 victims are drafted from Poland

the land of graves and crossesSavage Despair

You cannot imagine the savage deoverpowers the masses torn

from the plow from the hearth fromwife and children If we are going toperish let us perish in our own countryLet us die by the hands of those who

our enemies is the cry of the reserves The very stones cry out whenthey take us They clamor to the

of Warsaw We are not going to defend Russia Our country is here

You do not know that women throwthemselves under the of thetrains that carry their relations to thefar east that cases of sudden deathand madness occur every day that inPultusk Czanstochowa and Lodz soldiers fired into the people and killedmany In Gostynin when the order wasgiven to decimate the resisting reservesthe colonel Dzwonkowski a Pole shothimself in front of his regiment-

cshould escape the vigilance of thearmy and police but the precau

tions would have all proven fruitlesshad it not been for his own powers ofendurance his determination to escapemilitary service for a hated ruler andthe assistance of a devoted wife whomanaged to throw the officers off thescent until her husband should be wellover the Austrian boundary

Tie rubber package carried byMazurowski on that night contained amessage to the newspapers of AmericaWhich they were aske6 to give to themothers of America It tells of presentconditions in stricken Poland of husbands ordered to the front

leave their families to suffer killthem before joining their regiments oflovers who rather than leave their

c sweethearts to become the prey ofHiicentious army officers kill them andthen themselves It tells of conditions

Vrs6 revolting and so terrible that it isalmost impossible for the enlightened

The AppealHer letter to American mothers isas

followsWhen several years ago at wish

of Czar Nicholas II the first peaceconference gathered at The Hague itwas received by the friends of humani-ty with applause It seemed to heraldthe dawn of a new era We Poles aloneknew that the whole project of Mura

was a fabrication to mislead thecivilized nations The czar announcedpeace but in his own land there wasno cessation of strife At the time otthe conference half the provinces wereunder martial rule and how while a

second conference is about to take placenot this time on the initiative of a

despot but of an elected leader of theAmerican people Russia unmasked isconducting in the far east such a devas-

tating unnecessary war as isunparal-eled in history

a war it is a massacre AllScientific and technical progress intend

ed for the increase of the power of thehuman race is being used for the workof devastation A hail of bullets cov-

ers whole regiments Battlefields areso thickly strewn that it is necessaryto burn the bodies or to place the dyingand the dead in one grave New regiments of victims crowd from all portions

of that great country which Russiaclaims to hail by order of their su-

periors the peaceloving czar

massacred in order to protect theirmonetary speculations forests landsmines and railroad grants

It is false that defenders not of thecountry but of fdrcibly annexed landsgo to death eagerly and die in the ecstasyof patriotism

In the first lines of battle are placednot Russians but peoples persecuted bythe Russians Poles Jews FinlandersOur brother Poles constituted 40 per-cent of the first Manchurian armyAmid the groans and prayers of thedying our Polish tongue was heard onall the bloody battlefields It filled thedarkened earth with curses for the per-petrator ot this devastation

Opposed to the Waris false that vpluntary contribu-

tions are given by the Pores Thesevoluntary contributions are deducted

from the salaries pf officials withouttheir consent obtained from citizensby threats They knew the moneywould disappear into the pockets of of-

ficial thieves who fattened on the hardearnings of theJRussian people Today

says they do not call to frontfathers of families That is only writ-ten for you of Europe and AmericaThey take widowers with large familiesof small children One of these mencalled to the service hung his threesmall children and reported the fact tothe military authorities There was noone with whom to leave them

Another called to the ranks on theday of the death of his wife who lefthim a twoyearold baby and a newborn infant took an ax and killed thechildren and placed them in the coffinwith their mother Another man whencalled to the army killed his wife hischildren and himself

Groans ofWe see it all at close range We hear

the moans of agony see the miseryand oppression of the people and we aretold that the is going to last longvery long

How many graves then does theczar demand The czars governmentasserts that he has enough wretchedvictims to exhaust the accumulation of

AWKWARD DINING IN JAPAN

The First Meal Partaken Of by anAmerican There Is

Be Trying

If its first Japanese dinner yourehaying a dreadfully hard time In thefirst place writes Bertha Runkle inChild Life in China and Japan you

must sit on the floor for they dont haveany chairs in Japan You kneel downand then turn toes in till onelaps over the other and then you sitback between your heels At first youare quite proud to find how well you doit and you dont think its so very uncomfortable But pretty soon you getcramped and your legs ache as if youhad toothache in them You dont sayanything because you think that if theJapanese can sit this way all day longyou ought to be able to stand it a fewminutes Finally both you feetgotpsleepand then you cant bear it ainbment longer and you have to get up and stampround the room to drive the prickles ouof your feet and all the dancing girlsgiggle at you This isnt your only trouble either All you have to eat with is a

Impair of chopsticks and youre in terroryou spill something on the dainty

white matting floor the floor of aJapanese house isnt just the floor itsthe chairs and sofas and tables and bedsas well At home it would be mortifying enough to go out to dinner and spillsomething on the floor but in Japanwhere people sit and sleep on the floorit seems even worse So you are unhappytill your little nesan who is the waitressand almost as prettily dressed as thedancing girls but not quite comeslaughing to your aid and Shows you howtohold your chopsticks After youmanage nicely the rice and the omeletbut the fish and the chicken you cantcontrive to shred apart without dropping your chppsticks all the time Sobetween dances the maiko little girlsabout 12 years old kneel down besideyou and help you They cant keep fromgiggling at awkwardness but youdont mind you just giggle too andeverybody giggles and has a lovelytime

tention hepays to itreal estate agent who

comes in here nearly every week for ahair cut and1 if I shaved him cleanthe back of his collar to his foreheadyoud never know that IdHes got a short light colored fringethat plays around under the rim of thishat like the soft fluffy fringe you seeon those shawls the women weartheir shoulders but youd think to hearhim that he could braid it and doin coils Wants me to be particular andtrim it close the neck and around theears I humor him of course I takea handful of somebody elses hair andsprinkle it on the cloth I him andthen I snip the air gently for tejaor 15

minutes and make a great ado when Iwhisk him off

And when he leaves the chair andsays he mustnt let it grow so long again-

I say it was pretty long I hope theLord will forgive me Nine out everyten of the bald heads are that way butmen whove got plenty of hair will keepaway from here until they look like theedges of an oldfashioned hayloft Itscurious anda fysaidrlnever ooulaccount for it Vf 4
