APPLAUSE FROM WARSAW

CROWDS.

The members of the London Police Force who have been sent to Warsaw to assist in remodelling the Polish police have been very busy since their arrival: It is proposed to modify the present methods and organization of the Warsaw police on British lines, and endeavour to make them by degrees a model for the rest of Poland to copy

The Warsaw police, like many other insitutions in Boland, was improvised with very little other material than patriotic fenal, and the training of its mambers was rudimentary in the extreme. The Germans made the newly created force perform all sorts of duties which are not generally considered to come under the beading of police work; making of them registrars, scavengers and messengers, as well as guardians of law and order.

The Mission is working by districts and is now in a typical district of the Jewish quarter. The British inspectors go through the whole routine of the day with their opposite numbers in
