A POLISH LEGION FOR THE WAR
From tatious sources comes a staterent that the Porte is about to Fales a Polish Logion to fight under the national salary againstthe Russians, It is oven alleged that the commander has · been.

A certain amount of inorolality is porinissible in the case of this aunipuncement, because, however convenient to Turkey the formation of a Polish Legion might be the project mast be distasteful to other Powes than her arch-enemy, Neither Geramay, which rules Posen, nor Antro Hua gury, which controls Gioia, oar view with equanimity the uprising of a Polish revolu tionary standard nywhere, and it may be re- membered that during the Criment war thin feeling was sufficiently powerful to induce the abandonment of a similar project. It is pro- bable, however, that the design may be realised how, since cimumstances have greatly changed. Germany does not need to care as Prussia did in 1854, and Hungary Turkey's fast friend-cal now at least graily modify in favour of the Porte the action of stateamen at Vienna, which he certainly could not do twenty-three years age. Anyhow the experiment is worth trying. The spectacle of five thousand Polish patriots wed armed and drilled, with rotire oflcers and pricate d ́s banner duly consecrated at the Vatican, entering the field to fight for the first time since the days of Kosciusko on something like equal terms against the implacable enemy of their race and religion-the brutal despotism which-massacred their aires, robbed their coun try of its political independence, and drowned every protest of its victims in oceans of blood Could hat one of the most instructiva er. amples of retributive justice, that history, son farnish. The dress fighting power of & Polish legioa, thus equipped, would be by no means contemptable, while indirectly the effect sight be of great importancs, for Bussis, con- pelled to keep her Pedish regiments away from the thearn of war, would thus lose the sorvicOS of her best soldiers. But the moral influence of sush a step would be undeniablo The crusade of the Cross against the Crescent, as Russia would fan represent it, would be converted into a struggle between a Power barbarous, aggres sive, and hypocritical, and thego, whether.
