'RICH AMERICAN
FIGHTING WITH
POLISH FORCES
NEW YORK, Sept. 6 (by Associ
ated Press).—War despatches mak
ing more than casual mention of
Brigadier General Charles Sweeney
have lent to the Polish struggle more
than an impersontl interest to Ameri
ican army officers at Governor’s
island, who are well ecquainted with
both principle and purse.
Men of no fortune at all who fight
in any old or young army for the
sake of excitement and paltry pay
are common enough, But Sweeney, U.
A. is a notable exception. He is
a multimillionaire’s son, his father
having amassed great wealth in the
famous Coeur D’Alene mines of Wash
^^ngton and Idaho, and the soldier is
more than a millionaire in his own
right.
He put in three years at West
Point and then sought the life of an
active soldier. In Mexico, South and
Central America and Europe he has
struck blows in desparate causes.
Sweeney, a former lieutenant-col
onel in the United States army, at
tached to the general staff, was in
Paris during the spring of 1919, re
covering from wounds suffered in the
Argonne offensive with the American
expeditionary forces when he learned
that Poland was in need of officers
for her new armies. He consulted with
the then Premier Paderewski and of
fered to recruit volunteers when he
returned to America to be mustered
out of the service. In three weeks he
had selected i'00 former American
aimy officers, all of whom had seen
service in many battles in France.
Colonel Sweeney sailed for Poland in
September of last year with the first
of his officer contingent.
He was not long in getting into the
Pole-ed fight and in recognition of his
splendid services Poland commis
sioned him a brigadier general. Re
cent despatches say that he has been
marked out by his gallantry and lead
ership.
This Irish-American-Polish general
for whom a soft life has held no ap-1
peal, began his career on the battle
field on leaving West Point after he
tried mining for a while.
He went to Mexico and got his
4 “baptism of fire" and a wound in the
Madero affair. Upon recovery, Gen
eral Sweeny packed up for South
America where he took a hand in sev
eral of the revolutions.
He got into the world war as a pri
vate in the foreign legion. In the first
Champagne battle in September, 1915,
Sweeny was commissioned a lieuten
ant on the field for conspicuous gal
lantry. He was severely wounded
and gassed in this battle, and on a
hospital cot in Paris, he was awarded
the cross of the legion of honor.
Two other important decorations
wrere bestowed on him in rapid suc
cession and he had a great reputation
for bravery. Soon after being made
a captain in the French forces, he was
sent to the United States upon advice
* of Ambassador Sharp, as an instructor
in 1917.
Sweeny was commissioned a major
in the United States army and helped
” to train the 80th division at Camp
Lee, Va. He went overseas and
helped to train this division, got bad
ly “shot up” in the Argonne and was
promoted to lieutenant colonel for gal
lantry before the enemy, and assigned
to the general staff of the American
expeditionary forces.

BRAZIL INCREASING
COTTON PRODUCTION
RIO DE JANEIRO, Sept. G .(by As
sociated Press).—Increased and im
proved production of cotton, especial
ly in northeastern Brazil, a great po
tential producing center which is at
present quite undeveloped, is the ob
ject of a cotton service bureau recent
ly established by presidential decree.
The bureau will investigate the pro
perties of the soil and climatic condi
tions, and establish experimental sta
tions to study the culture of cotton
and preventive measures against pests
and plant diseases. Planters in the
cotton zones will be provided with
machinery, implements and fertilizers
at cost prices, and establishments will
be installed for preparing cotton for
market.

BOY SCOUTS BEING
REVIVED IN MEXICO
MEXICO CITY, Sept. 6 (by Associ
ated Press).—The boy scout move
ment in Mexico is being revived. A
call has been issued by the leaders
of the movement, for all lads be
tween twelve and seventeen years of
age to present themselves for enroll
ment.
The boy scouts, or “‘The Corps of
Mexican Explorers,” as they are called
here, formerly enjoyed a number of
priveleges from the government which
provided them with uniforms, shoes,
and even a small money allowance
to pay their expences during their
excursions.
During the revolution, the move
ment virtually ceased. It is planned
to give it new impulse along the lines
formerly followed.
