best they could in day coaches, and
they estimate they averaged about
two hours sleep during the night.
• They then marched 2 miles
flowm the highway toward Heuvel
ton. 3rd Corps Area headquarters,
and along a dusty, dirt road to their
bouviac area, where they turned to
putting up tents for eating, sleep
ing and for headquarters. The
thirst they suffered on the train
was soon relieved at the special

recently commissioned a captain in
the adjutant general s department in
the District Guard and the National
Guard of the United State*.

Life in Poland Under the Nazi Conquerors
Land Littered With Dead, Victims of German Invasion, Discover One Law
For All—Survival—With Each Person Maintaining It for Himsdf
The third of a series of six
articles by the American-born
son of a Polish Army colonel, giv
ing the first detailed, uncensored
account of the German system of
conquest in Poland.
By MICHAEL SOBANSKI.
(As Told to Ira Wol/ert.)
From Brest-Litovsk to Warsaw is
perhaps 200 miles. It is thickly
populated and fat farm country in
normal times. Now, as the final
week of September was beginning
in a heat wave that made the air
breathless, it was a land littered
with death. And those people who
were left alive in it swarmed over it
as erratically and lawlessly as mag
gots swarm over a corpse. There
was one law for all—survival—and
each had to maintain it for himself.
As one of the maggots scrambling

of Poland, I soon
discovered that.
All government
had disappeared.
People there
thought the Bol
sheviks were go
ing to rule to the
Vistula River. It
was not until
later, after I left,
that it was de
cided Russian
rule would end
at Brest-Litovsk.
In the mean
time, Communists and those eager
to identify themselves as Commu
nists emerged in little bands and
"took over.” Guns and ammunition
had been abandoned on every road,
in almost every field, and the Com
munist ‘‘committees'’ armed them
selves with guns they could not
shoot. This was Ukranian country,
everybody was up in arms against
the Poles, and there was nothing
to keep hatred in check or greed in
check or lust or the mad dog that
is in so many men.
Women in Complete Terror.
The first person I met along the
way was a middle-aged woman,
who saw the uniform I was wear
ing—the uniform of a Polish stu
dent volunteer—and fastened her
self to my side. She was in com
plete terror. She said her husband
had been chief of police in the town
of Brezziny. They had been mak
ing their way out of the town to
gether when suddenly a 14-year-old
boy ran up to him and slapped him
in the face. Her husband had tried
to pull his gun, but she had wrapped
her arms around his and had begged
him to remain calm. Finally he said
he would, and she released her hold
on him and stepped back. The boy
had been watching the man's rage
with a rage all his own. When the
woman stepped clear the boy pulled
out a pistol and shot the police
chief dead. She did not know who
the boy was or why he had done
this. Perhaps, she said, a police
man had once made trouble for
him.
A little way on I met Sergt. Stan
islan Dytwach. We kept together,
and he lived with me for a month
in my house in Warsaw. He said
he had started for Warsaw on a
bicycle but had been halted bv a
Communist “committee” because of
his uniform and his bicycle. Only
one member of the committee had
a gun. He was a big peasant, crazy
with excitement and fear. He
seemed never to have used a gun
before. He held it very close to
Stanislau s head, several times with
the barrel resting right in his ear.
The gun shook. It waved back and
forth in the peasant's trembling
hands while his companions were
searching Stanislau, and Stanislau
worried that the gun might go off
accidentally. It did go off, but for
tunately at a time when it had
waved backwards and was pointing
at air in back of my friend's head.
All it did was make him deaf for
four or five days.
New Graves Line Roads.
We kept out of towns to avoid
"committees.” Hastily dug new
graves lined the roads in clusters,
with a gun stuck bayonet first in
each to mark it and a helmet on
the gun stock. Our progress was
slow at first, because the Bolshevik
army kept coming along the road
behind us and we had to hide from
it. They were moving to the Vis
tula in columns of about 10 tanks
each, big tanks, moving along at
40 or 50 miles an hour with a tre
mendous clattering roar that could
be heard miles away.
At last we got tired of hiding and
discovered that the Russians paid
no attention to us. They just kept
hurrying on to the Vistula, which
was to be the boundary of their
occupation. The Germans retreated
before them. Later there was a
second act to this gruesome comedy,
carried out with as much haste as
the first. When the treaty was

signed the Bolsheviks tumbled back
to Brest-Litovsk, and the Nazis
tumbled after them. What that
meant to the Communist "commit
tees” is something I can only imag
ine. Fortuately I was not there
when it happened.
I had taken food from the hos
pital—a big loaf of black bread and
two cans of meat. We ate only the
bread. We slept where exhaustion
overcame us. Once or twice a peas
ant put his barn at our disposal,
but more often they were afraid to
favor any one In uniform, and we
slept in the open.
Stumbled on Army.
In the Lukow Woods, 100 miles
or so from Warsaw, we stumbled
upon an army of perhaps 30,000 to
40.000 Polish soldiers. The Russians
were to the east and south of them,
the Germans to the west and north.
Warsaw, they had heard, was still
fighting, and they intended to smash
through the Germans ringing the
city and join the defenders of the
capital. I found out later that they
succeeded in fighting their way into
Warsaw.
They straggled like a ghost army
through the woods. They kept a
few scouts on the roads as lookouts,
but the main body moved under
cover. Stanislau and I tried to join
them, but they would not take us.
They could not arm us. They had
no supplies at all. When one of
their motors ran out of gasoline
they left it where it stopped. Each
man carried his own ammunition.
Every little while a German patrol
or scout detail would stumble on
this army. They chased each last
one relentlessly until he was killed.
They could not take a chance of
the German Army learning of their
existence. Wounded—ail wounded,
even their own—were left where
they fell, among the dead. There
was no provision for wounded.
We were warned to keep away
from the Vistula. The Germans
were on the other side, shooting at
everything that moved. So we
traveled inland a few miles. By
September 29 Stanislau and I had
found a friendly peasant near the
village of Otwock who agreed to
put us up until we could move on
to Warsaw, about 40 miles away.
Helped Selves to Fruit.
The next morning we visited the
orchard of the local squire, who had
decamped, and helped ourselves to
fruit. While we were doing so a
German armored car unit drove up.
and some boys in uniform piled out
and joined us among the pear trees.
They were most obliging lads of
about my own age (20 then), some
a little younger. They gave us
cigarettes and warned us not to go
any further in our uniforms. “You
will be stopped,” one said, “and sent
to a concentration camp for agri
cultural workers in East Prussia."
We thanked them for their advice
and parted on good terms—they to
hurry back to war, we to And peas
ant clothes.
On October 2 the time wTas de
clared ripe, and we went to Otwock
to get a pass from a Nazi function
ary already established there. The
pass cost 1 zloty (about 20 cents at
pre-war exchange), and the Nazi
asked no questions. He seemed
anxious to sell as many of them as
he could. Then we began the w'alk
to Warsaw along a road that seemed
slowly to fill with a pale, shattered,
trembling people making their way
back to homes over which the fight
ing had stopped.
Few Houses Untouched.
As I remember the journey now
the countryside between Brest
Litovsk and Warsaw seemed totally
destroyed, but I guess this is an ex
aggeration. There were houses
standing untouched, but not many.

now Premier of Eire; Sir Roger
Casement, who was executed by the
British during the World War, and
Terrence MacSweene.v, Lord Mayor
of Cork. He founded and directed
the Irish Press, and in 1922 was

Apprenticeship Plan
To Be Speeded Up to
Assure Craftsmen
Federal Committee to
Extend Program to
Defense Manufacturing
By OLIVER McKEE.
To assure an adequate supply of
skilled workers in the national de
fense industries, the Federal Com
mittee on Apprenticeship is plan
ning to expand and speed up its
apprenticeship program. Established
by Secretary of Labor Perkins in
1934, the committee until recently
had devoted most of its attention to
obtaining the training of apprentices
in the building trades industries,
through voluntary agreements be
tween labor organizations and em
ployers. Now it will extend its pro
gram to manufacturing, particularly
the industries engaged in the pro
duction of war materials.
The committee has increased re
cently the number of its field agents
and is establishing five regional offi
ces at Denver, Dallas, Boston,
Harrisburg, Pa., and Madison, Wis.
Through the regional offices and its
corps of field agents, the committee
is seeking the active co-operation of
manufacturers and organized labor
in plans for training future workers.
About 19 Per Cent Skilled.
Of the Nation’s labor force, ap
proximately 10 per cent are skilled
craftsmen. Though the mass of
workers in modern production plants
are classified as semi-skilled, effi
cient and dependable, output largely
depends on the availability of an
adequate working force of skilled
craftsmen—"lead and set up men,”
who have an expert knowledge ac
quired only through years of ex
perience of the operations of a
particular trade.
In the World War the lack of
skilled workers in the defense in
dustries was a major factor con
tributing to the delay in the manu
facture of war munitions and equip
ment. Attempts were made by the
Government to train apprentices
for the skilled crafts in a few weeks.
The results were unsatisfactory. To
train an apprentice for the metal
trades or other national defense in
dustries requires anywhere from two
to seven years, according to Labor
Department experts.
There is no shortage of skilled
workers throughout the country as
a whole today, though shortages
may exist at certain points and in
certain specialized crafts, the Labor
Department contends. Shortages
may occur later, however, if the na
tional defense program, as now
seems likely, requires enormously
increased production for a period
of several years or more.
In its plans for apprentice train
ing. therefore, the Federal com
mittee is looking to the needs of the
future rather than the present, to
the time when additional skilled
workers will be needed as replace
ments.

Text of Hull Statement 1
Warns That Citizens Must Be Ready
And Willing to Make Sacrifices
following is the text of a state
ment issued yesterday by Secre
tary of State Hull:
Br th* Associated Press.
The strong belief of the repre
sentatives of the 21 American na
tions at the recent Havana meeting
was that the military and other
sinister activities on the part of
some nations in other large areas
of the world present real possibilities
of danger to the American re
publics.
It was universially recognized that
a threat to any important part of
the Americas means a threat to
each and all of the American na
tions. It was. therefore, agreed that
full and adequate preparations for
continental defense could not be
taken too soon if the threatened
danger from abroad was to be
checked and terminated. It was also
the unanmious view at Havana that
the prompt strengthening of unity
and solidarity for the purpose of
continental defense and for its im
plementation by concrete programs
supported by the 21 nationl was
Indispensable to the safety, se
curity, peace and welfare of this
hemisphere.
wesson From Europe.
There was general agreement that!
If the peaceful nations of Europe
had thus promptly organized them
selves for self-defense on the most
effective co-operative basis, the
chances are that their situation and
that of Europe would be vastly dif
ferent today. Instead, many of those
countries complacently reiied upon
utterances of peaceful purpose and
upon their own neutrality to safe
guard them against the mighty
forces of invasion, conquest and de
struction. Some of them have been
overrun and destroyed by the ruth
less invader. Their fate should be
a tragic lesson to us.
The vast forces of lawlessness,
conquest and destruction are still
moving across the earth like a
savage and dangerous animal at
large. By their very nature, those
forces will not stop unless and until
they recognize that there exists un
breakable resistance.
Other Tasks Ahead.
At Havana we forged new instru
mentalities of continental defense.
These will be of vast importance to
our Nation and to every American
nation. But there are other and im
mense tasks still before us.
I would greatly prefer to say that
we are safe in this country and in
this hemisphere from outside dan
ger. But I am firmly convinced that
what is taking place today in many
areas of the earth is a relentness
attempt to transform the civilized
world as we have known it into a
world in which lawlessness, violence
and force will reign supreme, as
they did a thousand years ago. The
| people of this country cannot recog
nize too soon this fact and its over
whelming significance for our na
tional safety and for the main
tenance of our national institutions.
Must Prepare to Sacrifice.
The one and only sure way for
our Nation to avoid being drawn
into serious trouble or actual war
by the wild and destructive force!
now abroad elsewhere in the world
and to command respect for its
rights and interests abroad 1s for
our people to become thoroughlv
conscious of the possibilities of
danger, to make Op their minds
that we must continue to arm and
to arm to such an extent that the
forces of conquest and ruin will not
dare make an attack on us or on
any part of this hemisphere. To
this end, each citizen must be ready
and willing for real sacrifice of
time and of substance, and for
hard personal service. In the face of
terrific problems and conditions,
and until the present serious
threats and dangers have disap
peared. we cannot pursue com
placently the course of our custom
ary normal line.
I feel constrained thus to offer
my views in the light of what is
already a dangerously widespread
movement for world conquest and
for the destruction of most of tha
worthwhile things which civiliza
tion has given the human race.
