very keenly the opprobrium that at

and approved in America, whereby a
nationul Polish army might bo formed
in this country, entrained In Canada
and transported to Prance, where the
troops will bo provisioned and equip
ped by France and will tight under
sreneral French orders.
The Poles who are recruited In this
country cannot be taken from clasa on
of the selective draft, but may be tait

have been turned down by American
boards of physical examiner or for
any other reason may enlist with the
Polish troops nnd tHke their chances
of passing: the Polish aimy physical

There are many Poles who came
from Austria and Germany who have
been automatically exempt from serv
ice on account of their being- classed
as alien enemies. It is said that larffe
numbers ere loyal to the cause of the
allies and will wiliiiiKly volunteer in
the hope thai there may yet be united
and independent Poland, a country free
from the agression of military des
potism and one which a national or
ganization can place on the map of
the free peoples of the world.
