"LIKE PIGS."

PILSUDSKI AND DEPUTIES.

EVEN FLIES OBJECTED,

LONDON, July 12. In an interview Marshal Pilsudski, formerly Polish Premier, criticises the Polish .Parliamentary institutions with the utmost freedom. He bluntly described the Diet as an assembly of political prostitutes. "I, the most popular man in Poland, had to resign, or, unable to coatrol myself, I would have struck and tramped on the deputies, who talk for months on end, yell insults'at each other, and, in fact behave like blackguards and pigs. I could not have .held out for another hour in an atmosphere of such hellish boredom, wherein even the flies would not tolerate the speeches," he said. "FEAR OF THE 'MADHOUSE.' " Marshal Pilsudski, says the Warsaw correspondent of "The. Times," adds; "The nation's treatment of the President was viler and baser than would be any man's treatment of his mistress or bondslave. The burden of Premiership lay iiii having a fixed occupation of tending foundling babes, the loved and the caressed, the dirty and the unloved, which Cabinet always passed on to me. It was my duty to set my hands to masses of typewritten sheets, but I had not the courage for fear that I would end in the madhouse, "The Prime Minister's imnipoteucc disappears in a flood of foolscap and amid a multitude, of foundlings, with only a noose left to hang himself. The deputies tell indecent stories, arid behave as if they, were in a common alehouse. Every deputy, has the right to shout abuse and/conduct himself like a swirie and a strumpet. It is enough to give anyone a stomach-ache." Pilsudski vigorously denies that illhealth caused his resignation.
