GREAT LEADER

MARSHAL PILSUDSKI DIES SUDDENLY

ON NINTH ANNIVERSARY OF HISTORIC PUTSCH

Warsaw, May 12.

Marshal Joseph Pilsudski, Poland's "dictator," died at 9.30 o'clock. to-night from a kidney disorder. He was sixty-seven years of age and as the Govern- ment's "sheet anchor" he had served his country notably, particularly since the Great War.

·

He was one of the most picturesque figures in. Europe and was the creator of the modern Poland.

One of the most powerful and fearless of workers for Polish liberation before and during the Great War, he became a national hero and a figure of world prominence during his historic putsch of 1926. It was a remarkable coincidence that to-day was the. anniversary of that daring piece of strategy, nine years ago.

Since the day of the putsch, Marshal Pilsudski has occupied the titular post of Minister for War, but he has Beon in reality the power behind the scenes. He has shunned publicity and even appearances in public, but always his strength and clear vision have gulded Poland through the crises of recent years.

Reports of Marshal Pilsudski's illness have been current for some time, but he was well enough to receive Mr. Anthony Eden, the British Lord Privy Seal, during hia

FRANCE AND RUSSIA INVITE ASSISTANCE

POLISH APPREHENSION MUCH REDUCED

Moscow, May 12. France and Soviet Russia stand, their rifles at their feet, and with hands outstretched, inviting all other interested powers to join their efforts in the cause of peace, declares Izvestia, semi-official news organ, on the eve of M. Pierre Laval's visit to the Soviet's capital.

The visit of the French Foreign Minister has a special significance, Izvestia declares, because the Franco-Soviet treaty of mutual assistance has opened a new phase in the joint struggle of France and Russia for the peace of the world.

Izvestia emphasises that the purpose of the Franco-Soviet Treaty is to make sure of the defensive capabilities of the two nations.
