ONLY ONE MAN TO 40
WOMEN IN POLAND
I
POLISH REFUGEE REACHING
PORTLAND TELLS OF WAR
Mrs. Stella Miller. 5i native born
; German, arrived recently in Port
! land, Oregon, from Miloslaw, Posen,
! Germany, to make her home with
i her resident daughters. When Mrs.
j Miller was interviewed, she gave
i the following story of the condition
, of the country:
“German Poland is drained of
able bodied men for soldiers in the
I army of the kaiser until there are
i 40 women to one man, and that man
i is either a cripple or too old to bear
j arms."
Thousands of German women and
children unprotected while their
j husbands are at war are starving
to death, according to Mrs. Miller.
In some towns here the able-bodied
boys and men from 17 to 55 years
old have been called upon to join the
German colors a t the front, the
children left at home are naked in
the streets, she asserts.
To obtain a loaf of bread one
must visit the police station, where
• a ticket is obtained, entitling the
bearer to secure one loaf daily.
The necessaries of life are taken
from the mouths of children to sup
i ply the men in the army. Some men
return from the front from time to
time, but all are crippled by wounds
and are unable to work. Most of
the many thousands who have re
turned are without arms or legs;
their eyes are destroyed, or they are
wounded in a way that will make
them dependent upon others
throughout life.
The work on the farms, in the
stores and in the streets is all done
by women and children or men too
old and infirm to bear arms. When
the army of the kaiser passed
through German Poland on its way
to Warsaw, some troops entered
Miloslaw, where Mrs. Miller lived.
The Polish people were driven from
their homes and their property de
stroyed. The able-bodied men were
pressed into German service, al
though their sympathies were with
he allies. A citizen who dared lift
h;s voice against the Germans was
shot without mercy. Women were
driven from their beds at night to j
make room for a tired soldier and if
they objected they were shot.
The indemnities and taxes imposed
upon the people were so high that it |
The inremnities and taxes imposed;
upon the peiple were so high that it
was impossible to pay them.
The German people are confident
of victory in the end, in spite of the i
privation they are encountering
in the way of food. If a citizen
dares to dispute German victory at
the end of the war he is taken out
and shot, according to Mrs. Miller.
It is a war not of men and war!
implements, but of food. The army I
which is able to keep a constant
supply of food the longest will win,
but if the war is prolonged, the sol- j
diers of Germany will return to find j
their wives and children starved [
through the sacrifices that have i
been made to keep the soldiers in j
strength for fighting.

“TO THE VERY END”
IS MESSAGE
PARLIAMENT AND THE WHOLE
COUNTRY IS OF ONE
MIND ON WAR
From time to time, it has been
hinted at, and sometimes asserted i
that the allies had had some disa-,
greements and that the understand- j
ing prior to the war, or rather at i
the declaration of war, was not be
ing carried out with the enthusiasm 5
and friendly feeling existing at that
time. Likewise, a certain amount
of dissention has been reported with
in France itself. In order to get
at the bottom of the rumors, an As
sociated Press correspondent re
cently interviewed the president of
the French chamber of deputies
and in substance the following is
what Mr. Paul Deschane! answered:
“Parliament and the country are
of one accord. They say to the
world, ‘To the very end.’ ”
Speaking of the work of the par
liament during the last year, Mr.
Deschanel said:
“The chamber hag maintained a
union of all Frenchmen. Some live
i ly debates have occurred and the
enemy’s newspapers affect to see in
I them signs of discord, but the
maneuver is a coarse one, and the
opinion of neutral countries should
: not be deceived by it. Free dis
■ cussion is the essence of parlia
mentary regime. It does not al
ways imply discord.
“Notice for instance, what took
place concerning a particularly deli
cate question, the call to arms of
■ the 1917 contingent. No one oppos
i ed the principle of the measure,
representatives of France being
: ready, for all sacrifices necessary to
obtain victory. But, if they do not
j begrudge the country’s resources,
| they want the best use made of
! them for national defense.
“The minister of war was inter*
’ rogated in the chamber upon ques
] tions taken to assure complete utili
zation of those resources. He indi
: catcd the precautions that should
I and would surround the incorporn
tiin of our younger men in the army
and his declarations were unani
! piously approved. The same unani
mitj was shown on all important
j questions.
"When the ministers revealed the
concordant views of the allies on
] the conduct of the war, then tliey-ap
j pealed for the savings of the coun
i try i.t tlie time of the loan, when
' they asked for the incorporation of
i new contingents of soldiers, they
jebtained the entire support of both
chambers.
"The chambers, moreover, voted
j ‘.hat the ministers speeches be post
; ed on walls through France for the
i people to read. That is why the ses
sion just closed leaves the comfort •
| ing impression that it has affirmed
i t nrc more our complete national
i un'ty in the face of the enemy.
