The White Eagle of Poland. By E. F. Benson. (Hodder
and Stoughton. 6s. net.)—Mr. Benson's interesting statement of the Polish problem is worth reading. His account of the nefarious German and Austrian dealings with occupied Poland ends with February last. Though it has necessarily been rendered obsolete by the collapse of both the Central Powers, it is still of value as a reminder of the evils from which the Allied victory in the West has saved the Poles. Mr. Benson describes the political situation in Poland, and deals impartially with the vexed question of Lithuania, to which some Poles advance a claim, though the Lithuanian population, apart from the landowners, is for the most part non- Polish. The settlement of the former border provinces of Russia will not be solved in a day, for the enemy has deliberately fostered racial feuds between the liberated peoples.
