Nov. 3-—The new autono mous .army that is being organized in France to fight on the western front for the eventual freedom of an independent Poland has just been augmented by the enlistment of Poles of the Russian brigades that for a year and a half past have been figh ing on the French front. While the new Polish army will be composed largely of Polish recruits from the United States, the enlist ment of these veterans of both the Russian and French front is consider ed of value. In conjunction with the Polish vol unteers who served during the first three years of the war in the French ranks, and who now form the first troops of the autonomous Polish army, these picked, trained and experienc ed troops give the young Polish army a solid military neucleus that is ex pected to have influence in the organ ization of the new army! There Rus sian and Polish veterans, with three years of actual warfare behind them, will be used largely in drilling the n ftw rc>/>pilUo The enlistment in the new Polish army of these contingents from the Rusian brigades in France was done with the full permission and sanction of the new Russian provisional gov ernment. All Russians of Polish ori , gin or extraction were allowed their own choice of either the Polish or j Russian army for future service. The voyage of these new Russian | volunteers across France to the Po lish camp where the new army is be ing organized on an independent, au tonomous basis, was a sort of trium phal procession marked by nn inci dent of the most striking Interest. : The locomotive drawing the train j flew the crimson and white flag of reborn Poland, although the soldiers | filling the cars wore the Russian tini j torm in which they had come to France together with the medals con j firred upon them by the Czar, they chattered in Polish and Polish colors were pinned on their breasts. At every station at which the train stopped, enthusiastic crowds greeted them. Then as the train came into a large station in the central part of France, strange cries were heard from an opposite track of the railway. Twenty German prisoners, all from Posen who were employed in unload ing freight cars yelled with surprise as they beheld the train bearing thp | White Eagle of Poland and the Po lish national colors. Their surprise turned into bewil derment. as in answer to Ihelr cries, there popped out of the windows of , every car the heads of Russian sol 1 diers, wearing the caps of the Rus sian army yet trimmed without ex ception with the Polish colors. News of the formation of the new autono mous Polish army was given, and to a man the Polish-German prisoners ; threw down their working utensils and begged to be allowed to join tl.eir brothers in arms for th4 independence f'o Poland. I It was only with the utmost dif I ficulty that they were made to under ; stand that under international laws ! of war, they as prisoners, could not be allowed to take up arms on French j soil. • The Rag-Time Trio will play their : regular dance tonight at Eagle hall.
