PILSUDSKI ON POLAND

. LONDON September 1. Marshal Pilsudski, the'former Dictator, who has just been appointed Premier of Poland, in an interview with the Government newspaper “Mazeia Polsi,” .said that his chief anxiety was to alter the Constitution.

‘ Inis,” lie said, “is at present like a piece of rotting meat mixed with foul bacon and putrid cabbage and as much unwashed - as the spirit of the Polish Deputies, who ate an infamous hand.”

Pilsudski declared that Parliament’s work stank so that the air was poisoned and business was delayed. A deputy appeared to think that everyone must bow before him, even if her were a scoundrel and a blackguard, of whom there were many in Parliament • Pilsudski added that his greatest care would be to defend the Treasury against Deputies who wanted to spena money on their party toilets.

THE NEW PRINCESS. INCIDENTAL COSTS. LONDON, September 1. When the Duchess of York set her heart on Glamis Castle as the birthplace of the New Princess it necessitated all sorts of .special arrangements and in-

volved extra costs totaling over £SOOO. For instance, the baptismal lee to be paid to the Archbishop of Canterbury (Dr Cosmo Lang) alone will be £SOO. Two other clergymen who will assist him in performing that ceremony will receive £SO each.

Sir Henry Simson’s usual fee for a maternity, case in London is 20U guineas. He received 20 guineas a day in Scotland. Mr Frank Reynolds, the surgeon in attendance, received 15 guineas a day. The direct telephone connection which was installed between Claims Castle and the London house of the Duke and Duchess cost £IOO. The registrar of births received 100 guineas for his services.

The Glamis tenants and servants are giving a gold cup as a baptismal gilt. All the servants at tbycastle; and) .in addition, all the Duke’s;- servants, received special gratuities in celebration of the occasion. y \j, {‘ WORKERS DESERT! EXODUS FROM RUSSIA,. . LONDON, Sep. T. In order to counteract tlie widespread desertion from the coal front, especially the Donetz Basin,, tl.e ,&oyiet, says ..the Rigfa -ebrrespb'ndent' of tlie.. “ Times,” lias introduced a new form of forced labour. The Department of Agriculture has been ordered to. mobilise '20,000 members from the collective farms for underground and surface service in the coal basins. The :families of these conscripts must 'be supported by the 'farms during their service: in the; mines. ,j

Is is apparently intended not only to ■recapture and force back the deserters, but to employ men who never previously were miners. The press declares that the production at D f onezt is 30,000 tons daily below what was planned, and that the quality is bad. Recentlyarrived German miners endorse the complaints as to the conditions, and friction exists between them and tlie Russians.
