Thousands upen thousands of soldiers are dying on the field of cold and hunger, battle, and millions of peaceful human beings are perishing 8 Two countries have been more specially the victims of these sanguinary conflicts. Two countries, but yesterday prospe; are now wastes of desolation. These are Poland and Belgium. The assistance given to Belgium has honored humanity. Poland, my country, now appeals for aid. An area, seven times as vast as that of the realm of King Albert, has in Poland been crushed and devastated by war. The blood of our unhappy country cries out for divine justice. Her sons, compelled to fight in hostile armies, slay the-iron heel ¢ another in fratricidal combat. From the banks of the Niemen to the summits of the ‘Carpathians fire has destroyed the towns: villages and o’er the whole of this huge, desolated country the spectre of famine has spread out its wings. All labor and industry have been swept away. The ploughs are rusted—the peasant has nether grain nor cattle. The artisan idle; all works and ‘factories have been destroyed. The tradesman cannot sell his ware; there is no one to tineuished, and disease and misery prevail The aged and infirm have no shelter from the cold and hardships of the weather. Little children, stretching out their arms to their mothers for bread, receive in answer—but tears. Ot such starving people, crying out for aid, listen to me, Christian nations and there are millions! Has Poland no right to your assistance? Fach unfortunate has such right in the name of 'lumanity, but the Polish has also other claims to plead her cause before ‘Universe. Conquered and torn asunder, she ever struggled against brutal force, remembering always her glorious past and ever af firming the sacred rights of Liberty. For centuries she was the rampart of Civilization, the barrier of Christendom in its ‘ with the Crescent., She ever fought side by side with all defenders of freedom. The names of Sobieski and Kosciuszko will be eve graven on your memory. Where was any generous cause, in which Poland did not freely shed her blood? suffering, which by her meens she did not attempt to alleviste? . Qur genius, our labor and our creative powers have left th* Where was print upon many pages of the World’s history. Our voice ever rose in unison with the great call of civilized Humanity. Therefore, in the name of universal fraternity, in the name of a country ever faittful to that sacred principle, in the name of ‘ teachings of Christ, and of vur past and present sufferinss io You civilized Nations I appeal! A Help us to save my country from her terrible distrese. Let us give the laborer bread to restore his strength, and seed 3 with to reap his future harvest. May Polish mothers be enabled to give their famished childrer somthing more than tears. May the Polish Nation survive this hour of supreme trial and with renewed hope and strength await the ddwn of her near Resurrection.
