OUR POLISH VISITORS.
Continued from Fuge d.)
These are contacted ·ol professors of the Universities by Cracow and Warsaw, who, are mem- bers of the returning band. The classes continue for two hours daily and behind them is the laudable in- tention of preparing the children for their fature in Poland.. The development of their physique is not neglected and they are daily put through a course of physical drill. The educational department of this little township if it be permissible to stretch the use of the word to that extent is under the direction of Professors Mazur, Orlowski and Galab,and they have the assistance of Mrs. Diatoskoska, Hriezciho and Lenicki. Discipline is maintained by the Captain and officers of the ship for whom there is tel: a unanimous high regard. An interesting personality on board is Mr. Konvis, an American, who has been with the Folish army in Siberia and intends to take the trip home with them. His only difficulty is with the language, but it is said the is mak ing rapid progress and has already proved himself good for short speeches.
The places of honour on board are reserved for some veterans who took part in the Polish revolution of 1863. This movement was carried on for some years, ultimately resulting in failure, many prisoners being sent to Siberia. Some of these persons have been chained to wheelbarrows with heavy chains er twenty-five years while others have been forced to un- dergo the misery of work in the mercury mines. It is touch- ing to observe how these old people .are attended by their younger .compatriots. Some can scarcely eat or move and the best places are assigned to them, not only at the table but on deck. During rough weather they have the most comfort able places that can be found and during fine spells the most pleasant spots are reserved for them.
Reserved for the Veterans" is the notice that appears in several places and the implied honour to these gallant old folks is duly given..
The great majority of the Poles are Catholics, faithfully attached to their Church, its teachings and practices. There was a splendid example of this one Sunday when they attended a service at St. Joseph's Church Ex masse. Their own Chaplain officiated, the choir render- ing the choral portions in the Polish language. The sermon was preached by the Rev. Fr. Augustine.
CELEBRATION OF THE FOLISH
CONSTITUTION.
GENERAL PĪLAUDZKI.
Chief of the Polish State.
May 3 was a red letter day for the Poles, it being an anniversary of the Polish Constitution. It is a day of great historical interest to them, as in 1701 the Polish Constitution was passed giving equal liberty to every man, be he peasant or noble. How Poland was partitioned is a matter of history. The first partition was made in 1772 by the action of Austria, Germany and Russia. Realising the danger, the country tried to strengthen the administra. tion, being encouraged in this by Prussia whose King. Frederick William, swore to defend them His word how- against Russia, ever, proved to be untrustworthy and the Poles again embarked fruitless resistance against
on
the combined Russiars and Prussians, but the Diet .was, in 1793, forced at the point of the bayonet to agree to a second partition. Becoming desperate a general rising occurred in 1794, the Prussians being compelled to retreat to their own country and the Rus sians were routed several times. It was then that Austria chose to api pear and, adding her weight to the oppressors of Poland, annihilated the Polish monarchy. The third and last partition effected
in
1795. Poland retained 2 constitution on the fall of Napoleon whom it had assisted,, itá separate government lasting til 1864 and then four years later it became Russian territory its name being erased from the map.
