SEES STRONGER POLISH NATION
RISING FROM PRESENT STRUGGLE
rror. trie r. H.eiiy, auuior oi me
following article, was recently named
to the Commission for Polish Relief
formed in this country. His interest
in Poland dates from the last war,
during which Y. M. C. A. work in
France associated him with American
Poles and with Haller's army formed
under Paderewski. He entered Pol
and in 1918 and did relief work with
the Polish army during the two-year
Bolshevik invasion. He returned there
In 1925 a3 exchange professor of En
glish at Krakow University and in
1928 wrote “The Trumpeter of Kra
kow", the first of his series of books
with Polish backgroun I.
* * *
The collapse of Polish defense In
the face of German armies came as a
great surprise to those of us who
had followed Polish matters since
1918. Although Herr Hitler himself
estimates his casualties at somewhere
around 45,000 in the month of fight
ing, it had seemed at an earlier per
iod that a sharper defense might
have been put up on the Vistula forts,
chiefly aroupnd Modlin with its long
communicating lines. Reasons for Hit
lers quick victory seem to be known
in London, and the delayed mobiliza
tion of the Polish army which could
have assembled 6,000,000 men and
barely got 1,000,000 together may
have been in line with the “appease
ment" policy pursued by all the Al
lies.
Yet Poland is taking the blame her
self, and wants no pity from anyone.
If the money spent in Poland in the
past 20 years on schools, improve
ments, art museums, and general bet
terment had all been turned into the
building of vast Maginot lines, the re
sults might have been different. As
it was the cost of maintaining a large
army in that period went into enor
mous figures.
In the pre-war propaganda battles,
Poland suffered immensely, with an
almost constant barrage of words
against her in countries outside. The
word "corridor" from the German
propaganda office was fixed on her
territory of Pomerania, and troubles
among minority groups, much less
serious than the Ku Klux Klan In
America, were magnified by Berlin
and Moscow into major incidents.
William J. Rose, a former Dartmouth
professor now director of the School
of Slavonic Studies of the University
of London, states in his recent book
"Poland” that In the area which was
Poland, the actual Polish population
was seven-tenths of the whole, most
of that territory having been Polish
for more than 500 years.
Such a situation as this has come
in Poland before. And in its history
Poland has acted as a buffer state
against Tartars, Turks and Russians
in their attempts to conquer Western
Europe. The Polish poet Mickiewicz
stated in a poem written about 1840
after the third siege of Warsaw, peace
would come in the whole world. The
first great siege of Warsaw was by
the Swedes, the second by the Rus
sians in 1920. The present siege was
the third. Well, we can only hope.
But to me there is no question that
Poland will arise again, profiting by
the mistakes of the past 20 years, and
will rebuild its nation in a form to
attain permanency.

Official Information
From Election
Commissioner
I estimate that there are approxi
mately 12,000 to 15,000 voters in the
city of Omaha who have either moved
from one residence to another, who
have moved into the city, became of
age or changed their name, since the
last elections, and they must therefore
register before they will be permitted
to vote at the coming elections.
Next year the National, State and
County primary will be held on April
9, 1940. The registrations for thic
primary win close on March 29, 1940.
Filings for all public offices close
on February 29, 1940. This also ap
plies to delegates to the county con
ventions.
While you are in the court house
getting your driver's license why not
stop in at the Election Office and
register.
November 1st you will receive a no
tice of your personal taxes from the
County Treasurer's office, therefore
when you are In the court house to
pay them why not stop in at the Elec
tion Office and register.
On January 1, 1940, you will receive
a notice for your automobile license
plates, therefore when you are in the
court house to get your plates why
not stop in at the Election Office and
register.
All persons who have become nat
uralized and have never registered
before in the city of Omaha should
register now and they must bring
♦ v nntnmllvuHnn r>unoru th thorn
because we must see these papers to
know what Court and the date they
were issued.
Any time you are in the court
house, if you are not properly regis
tered, why not register NOW and
save yourself an extra trip. We can
give you prompt service and do it
more, economically.

CREIGHTON HITTING STRIDE
Clicking smoothly along the come
back trail, Creighton university will
meet St. Louis university here Satur
day afternoon in a football game that
may find the latter's ironclad defense
too much for the occasionally brilliant
Bluejay offense. The kickoff is sched
uled for 2 p. m. in Creighton stadium.
Tile offense presented by Coach
Marchie Schwartz' Creighton outfit
failed to click until the fourth quar
ter in a Homecoming game against
Loyola of the South here last Satur
day, but when the backs did start
rambling they punched out a 21 to 13
victory over the Wolfpack. A one
yard second quarter buck by Pullback
A1 Truscott and two fourth period j
dashes by Left-half Johnny Knolla j
spilled the southerners.
Against St. Louis, the advance'
dope, comparative score charts and
weights combine to forecast a Creigh
ton victory. But St. Louis has, dur
ing the series that started in 1912, |
made a habit of disregarding theirj
underdog role in defeating the Blue-1
Jays. In 1936 and 1937, the Billikens!
snagged 20 to 7 and 7 to 6 wins over j
favored Creighton teams. In the se-1
ries, St. Louis holds the edge, five
games to four.
In top physical condition after their;
victory over Loyola, the Bluejays will I
be out to even the Billiken series when j
they tangle with Coach Cecil Mueller-1
leile’s eleven Saturday. Coach Mar- j
chie Schwartz is also doubly anxious
#ot* «'!/■»♦ on r Kfioo ilea Ot 1 rwil ™ Vtoa
j ‘
j downed his Creighton teams in two
of three games played since Marchie
took over the Creighton reins in
1935.
I Main stress was being placed in the
Bluejay camp this week on the pass
ing department. Against Loyola, the
Bluejay’s anti-aircraft defense was
weak, Loyola scoring one touchdown
on a pass in which the receiver was
all alone in the end game. With
scouting reports Indicating the St.
Louis ground defense is topnotch, the
Bluejays may try the aerial ronte to
victory. St. Louis' defense strength
may be measured by the fact they
have held three of five opponents
scoreless this season while winning
two, losing two and tieing one game.
Creighton boasts three victories and
two defeats, the latter at the hands
of Missouri Valley conference teams—
Tulsa and Washington.
In an attempt to groom a punter
who can fill in capably as relief
kicker for Right Halfback Don Flem
ing, Coach Schwartz is paying parti
cular attention this week to Maurice
Mullin, sophomore left half who is the
squad's second best punter but who
has not developed speedily in other
departments. He may see service
against St. Louis if Fleming is forced
to withdraw.

Notes
Father Kannaby has been very for
tunate in being able to get a copy of
the Original picture, that is as the
Paulonist Monastery, at Czestocho
wa, known also as Clairemont, Pol
and. This picture, or the St. Mary of
Czestochowa, is the patroness of all
Poland. That is where the kings oft
en left their own crowns and their
jewels.
This picture came directly from Pol
and a couple of months before Poland
was raped by Hitler. It is hand paint
ed and its sides are plated with pure
gold. It is painted on cypress wood.
This picture may be seen on the
left altar, at St. Stanislaus Church.
A large number of boys and girls
above high school age responded to
the dances sponsored by the Nation
al League of Catholic Women. These
dances will be held on Friday nights
a the Knights of Columbus, 33rd and
Harney streets. The first of these
series of dances will be Friday, No

First bans were read Sunday for
the approaching marriage of Stella
Stillmock, to George Bouchart. The
wedding date is set for the 18th of
November.
The girl’s bowling team from Saint
Stanislaus are doing quite well for
their team. They have put themselves
in the upper half of the league, in
spite of the low score of 21, which
Loretta Dundls turned in for her first
game.
Mary Kanger is the captain of the
team. Other bowlers are Ann Kora
