GERMANS TREATED POLISH
REFUGEES KINDLY
Germans can the better appreciate
the help giver, to Belgian refugees by
people of Holland and the United
States, because it is so much like the
kindly treatment given by Germans
to Polish refurr's in livlO-.'H. As the
homck'.iS war.aoivrs passed through
Germany to "seek refuge in b ranee
they found cordial sympathy every
where. J a almost every town a com
mittee was appointed to raise funds
and help them on their way. When
they reached Frankfort-on-Main
bands played, salutes were fired, and
people uncovered as the exiles passed.
Their hotel expenses were paid by
German municipalities. A wounded
Polish officer who died at a Jiotel was
followed to l;he grave by thousands.
German subjects appealed to their
governments to aid Poland. "The
Germans then possessed the quality,"
dryly observes a Danish historian,
"which Bismarck afterward laid to
their charge as a fault a fault ot
which he has since cured them of
being almost more interested in the
welfare of other nations than in their
own, to the extent even of desiring
that welfare when it could only be
purchased by some surrender -of pow
er on the part of Germany." If a
fault, it was a fault on the good side,
and that spirit cannot be so dead that
Germans are unable to understand
how the world feels about Belgium.
