Statement Issued by Four Political Parties, Aug. 16.
The representatives of the undersigned political parties, assembled
in Warsaw on the 16th August, 1914, welcome the Proclamation issued
to the Poles by his Imperial Highness the Commander in Chief of the
Russian forces as an act of the foremost historical importance, and
implicitly believe that upon the termination of the war the
promises uttered in that proclamation will be formally fulfilled,
that the dreams of their fathers and forefathers will be realized,
that Poland's body, torn asunder a century and a half ago, will
once again be made whole, that the frontiers severing the Polish
nation will vanish.
The blood of Poland's sons, shed in united combat against the
Germans, will serve equally as a sacrifice, offered upon the altar
of her resurrection.
THE DEMOCRATIC NATIONAL PARTY.
THE POLISH PROGRESSIVE PARTY.
THE REALIST PARTY.
THE POLISH PROGRESSIVE UNION.

Editorial Appeal in the Gazeta Warszawska, Aug. 15.
Fellow-countrymen! A danger threatens us, greatest, perhaps, among the
many calamities which war brings to a country; the misdirection of the
nation's mind and understanding.
