The Allies on Friday week decided to recognize the Polish
Government under M. Padereweki, which bad been accepted by the newly elected Polish Diet. On Monday M. Paderewski offered his resignation, but was asked by the President, General Pilsudski, to remain in office. The political situation in Poland is as usual uncertain. The Polish armies, however, seem to have checked the Bolshevik and Ukrainian invaders on their eastern and southern frontiers, and to have held their ground against their German enemies in Posen. The Allies have still to define the limits of the new Poland, and to insist that her integrity shall be respected by her hostile neighbours.
