EYEWITNESS TELLS
OF CRUELTY OF REDS
TO POLISH PRISONERS
(By Associated Press)
The following letter Is given
texlually as received from Warsaw as
the simple but graphic report of an
American eye-witness' visit to the bat-
trefront and his statement as to
extreme cruelties against Polish
troops. .The letter Is accompanied by
a number of photographs showing the
Polish victims of these atrocities,
The letter is written on the letterhead
of the Polish Mechanics' company,
inc.. having branches in New York,
Chicago and Detroit, and was signed
by the president of that company:
"WARSAW We left good United
States under the impression that most
what has been written about Bolshe
viks was full of lies. Stories of Pol
ish soldiers, describing cases of the
most refined cruelties practiced upon
captured Polish commissioned and
non-commissioned officers and sol
diers, could not change our views.
"On August 25 we had an opportun
ity to be convinced by 'seeing and
touching' the deeds of red knights.
"Our Ford truck, loaded with bread,
underwear, sweets, cigarettes and
soap, left Warsaw with decision to
reach the fighting columns. We
passed through Jablonna and Serock
and stopped in Pultusk, where a
crowd of women surrounded police
man and spy, disguised as a woman.
In the middle of the market we found
the grave of a Bolshevik chief who
captured Pultusk, but was killed at
the end of, the battle.
Approach Battle Line
"Next day we approached the battle
line in Chorzele. We met the first
killed man by the road. Red army
soldier, lying on his back with eyes
looking toward Warsaw. He wore the
coat of a Polish soldier, but was rob
bed of everything else by his own
comrades.
"A few yards further we found four
Polish soldiers, captured by the red
army, undressed and then murdered
in the most beastly manner. One
thousand Polish infantry were fighting
for 14 hours 8,000 Russians. When
finally the Polish line was broken,
Russians began to yell: "Comrades,
stop fighting; you are surrounded." A
group of 45 Polish soldiers were cap
tured, undressed and every one was
murdered in the most horrible way
with sabres.
"In Chorzele we met a group of Bol
shevik prisoners; fifteen per cent of
them were barefooted, poorly dressed,
many of them in Polish uniforms and
6ick of fighting. Every one of them
Claimed that he was forced to fight by
Communists and there was one among
them who brought with him 30 Polish
prisoners.
Fight in Large Bands.
"Large groups of Russians, usually
commanded by commissaries, fight
very well, but small bands and single
soldiers throw their arms and sur
render. They were brought into Po
land under promises that there will be
universal uprising of workers and
peasants and easy capture of War
saw. Bolshevik commanders promised
their men seven days of freedom in
Warsaw, so that everybody would
have chance to rob and plunder "un
limited treasures stored in the Polish
capital.
"The attack upon Warsaw cost Bol
sheviks 70,000 men in killed and
wounded, 100,000 captured, 80,000 dis
armed by Prussians. The war is not
over. A Siberian army was rushed
against tired, but enthusiastic and vic
torious Polish legions and another su
preme effort of the heroic nation will
be needed to protect democracy and
liberty.
"Polish citizens condemned the Jew
ish attitude, but have shown no desire
to do them any harm. From our point
of view the population and the gov
ernment are too careless and too leni
ent with criminals acting against the
government and country which gave
them shelter and unlimited privileges.

CHESTER ALAN ARTHUR
The public anxiety for Garfield
through his long battle, with death
was deepened by a general dread of
the vice-president succeeding to the
presidency. The people as a whole
knew nothing of Chester Alan Arthur
except that he had been only lately
removed frm the collectorship of the
port of New York as a machine poli
tician, and that he had been nomi
nated for the vice-presidency as a
henchman of Roscoe Conkling.
He had practiced law in New York
City for a quarter of a century with
out winning distinction at the bar.
Even in the upheaval of the Civil war
he remained in comparative obscurity
as the quartermaster general of the
state.
After the war he arose to be the
Republican boss of New York City,
with his headquarters in the custom
house. True to the type, he preferred
to remain always behind the scenes,
making few speeches and never be
coming a candidate for an elective of
fice until his nomination for the sec
ond highest office in the land.
If Arthur had not been put out of
the custom house he never would have

May "Call Up" Europe
By Wireless Telephone
For Diplomatic Reports
NEW BRUNSWICK, N. J., Oct. IS.
Possibilities of "calling up" far-off
foreign countries on the wireless tele
phone for reports of important diplo
matic situations are being considered
by more than 150 diplomats and state
department officials who arrived here
from Washington on a special train
early today.
They stopped here on the first leg of
an inspection tour of the leading wire
less stations along the Atlantic coast.
The program for the forenoon included
a demonstration at the naval radio
station here, of the apparatus that
kept President Wilson in telephonic
conned ion with America on his return
trip from the Paris peace conference.
The party planned to leave this af
ternoon for Albany and Schenectady,

three "Stalwarts" flamed up with
rage at the challenge to them from
the new administration. When the
New York senators resigned their
seats and appealed to the legislature
of their state to re-elect them as a
protest against the administration the
spectacle of the vice-president de
scending to that melee lent color to
the already unfavorable impression of
him in the public mind.
When in the midst of the fight and
; a losing fight, Garfield was shot, the
American people revolted at the
thought that Arthur and the "Stal
warts" should profit by the assassina
tion. The public mind revolted also
at the prospect of a political boss en
throned in the white house, with his
motley following about him.
The popular picture of Arthur, as a
city politician out of the pages of
Puck, was distorted and untrue, simp
ly because the background was omit
ted from it. The real, the native char
acter of the man had been shaped in
surroundings very different from
those in which the country found him
when he first came under Its atten
tion. Born in Vermont to a Baptist
minister, a man of education and high
principles, who had come over from
Ireland and who soon afterward set
tled in New York state, Arthur had
grown up in village parsonages, where
the living was plain and the thinking
high.

Writer of War Stories
Recuperating Health
LONDON Ward Muir, the lanky

sooner off his hands than overwork,
coming on top of his strenuous years
at the "Third London." brought about
a breakdown which finally has com
pelled him to seek real rest.
It is Muir's grudge against the war
that, instead of sending him to the
front, sidetracked him into the royal
army medical corps, and put him to
work as an orderly in a London mili
tary hospital. His service here, how
ever, made him an institution among
war authors. While the fighting
fronts were crowded with writers,
Muir stood practically alone among
those who described the hospital end
of the great war.
