PATRIOTS ALL

POLISH ASSISTANCE ANTI-SEMITISM ALLEGED (Times Air Mail Service.) LONDON, Aug. 22. Complaints have been made of | anti-Semitism among the Polish j forces in this country. These are i not denied in Polish quarters, says the Evening Standard. It is denied, however, that this feeling or its manifestation touches more than a small minority of the soldiers. General Sikorski, in a recent order j of the day, dealt with the matter. I have seen a copy of the order, ! which is dated August 5. It points out that Jews serving here have given proof of their patriotism; and : says that any soldier using even expressions of contempt, will be punished. General’s Daughter The General’s only daughter, Mile. I Sikorska (the final “a” is the femi- { nine variation of the name) is now in Scotland. She is helping in the establishment j of Polish hostels. Colonel Mitchell, j M.P.. and Lady Warrender and her committee are doing work there which is warmly appreciated by the Poles. Mile. Sikorska. a dark, petite girl of 24. was a noted horsewoman. She won more than a score of prizes at gymkhanas. Driving Farm Wagon A more recent experience of horses was of a different kind. She stayed in Poland until March to help to organise the food supply. Mile. Sikorska lived on an estate 100 miles from Warsaw. She used to load a wagon with produce and drive it to Warsaw. The single journey took the two horses several days, and Mile. Sikorska put up at nights with peasants in remote villages.
