PARIS, Oct. 15. — (By Mall) — An
autonomous Polish army fighting on
the western front for the liberty of
the new and Independent Poland that
the allies have pledged themselves to
create, is now an absolute certainty.
By the time the American army will
be in readiness to take its place on
the battle front, the new Polish army
will probably be ready to enter the
fray. It will be a definite military fac
tor in the unbroken front of allied
armies extending from the North Sea
to Switzerland, and which at that time
will see Belgians, English, French
Americans, Russians and Poles fight
ing side by side for their comnJOl
aims.
Already at the Polish camp it
j France, very similar to the Amerlcar
camp, the first Polish troops are iT
training. Enlistments of Poles in for
eign countries have already been madi
10 an extent to render certain that th'
future Polish army will number im
portant effectives. At the Polisl
camp where this army "ill ho trained
the Poles will have the same, full lib
erly of action in everything pertaining
to their army and its administration ai
have the Americans in their camp.
In faat, it is intended that this Pol
ish army which is to enter the arem
fighting for the independence of iti
country is to serve as a sort of nu
cleus about which the future Polls!
government will be organized. It is tf
become at once the combative heari
and center of the future Polish state
While the new Polish army is beinj
organized by France, in full accorc
with her allies, it is nevertheless 01
utmost interest to the United States
for it is largely from the Poles in Am
erica that the army is already recruit
ing its battalions, regiments and dlvi
sions.
r l imn iixc uiwuai ucti cc ui iui
, French government, authorizing thi
. organization on French soil of an In
dependent, autonomous Polish army
its ranks are open to three classes
FirBt, Poles who are already servjrti
in the French army or in the armiei
of other allied nations; second, Polei
who have sought refuge in various for
elgn countries, and third, Poles livlni
In the United States who have becomi
naturalized American citizens are stil
not subject to military duty in tll<
United States.
It is because a full agreement ha
been entered into with the America]
government, permitting this recruil
■ ing of Poles that the existence of i
large Polish army on the wester;
front has become a certainty.
The officers of the New Polish arm;
have asked from the United State
permission to recruit all of their cour
trymen who have not yet become nati
ralized Americans as well as thos
who have, but who do not come wlti
in the age limits of the American cor
scrlption laws. This accord has bee:
fully reached and the military mb
sion in France are receiving the mos
encouraging reports from the variou
recruiting centers of the Unite
States.
! Chicago has already produced
. great many recruits. Other America
cities are doing almost as well. Polls
societies, especially the famous Polish
gymnastic organizations, or Argentin
and Brazil, are also reporting heav
enlistments.
The new Polish army has alread
selected its own uniform, consistin
of a very light bluish gray coat, troui
ers and cap all trimmed in amarantt
a sort of purplish crimson. The whit
eagle of the Polish nation appears o
the national flag. The eagle is als
to he seen on the buttons and shou
i der straps;
This distinct uniform is already o;
the streets of Paris along with- thus
of the soldiers of the United States
England, Canada, Belgium, Australi:
and New Zealand.
The battalions now organized ha\
already had their first review and in
spection. They passed before Genera
Faurie, commander of the fourth re
gion. and following a stirring addres:
| by him, replied with equally stirrini
cries of "Niech zyee Polska” (Lons
Live Poland).

WASHINGTON, Nov. 3. — Secre
tary of War Baker's general physical
build Is such that it might keep him
busy getting into even a bantam re
giment. lie gets a lot of fun out of
his diminutiveness.
A friend one day pointed him out to |
the coat room maid at a hotel dining
room. "That’s the secretary of war.”
the friend said. "Huh. Well, he i
doesn't look it.” Baker overheard the
reply.
At a White House reception a lady !
isked permission to introduce her
even year old son to Secretary
3aker. "He's met the president and
nost of ihe cabinet officers," she ex
plained. "but he wants to meet the sec
retary of war."
"When the lad came up," says
3aker, "you could see dismay all over
lis face, because the six foot gentle
nan behind me whom he thought was
he secretary of war wasn’t the secre
ary of war. But the five foot six
[entleman in front of the six foot
;entleman was. He turned to his mo
her despairingly and asked: "Isn’t
t time to go home?"

It is stated from Washington that
he railroads are delivering 2,500 car
oads of food dally to the different
pantonments. Sherman, on his "march
to the sea” had quite a “supply train”
put Uncle Sam is in a hurry now.
