"Hound's Blood!"

Accompanied by the usual Polish pandemonium, the War Committee of the Sejm (Parliament) changed its chairman last week. Chairman-Kostjlakowski, loyal lieutenant of bombastic Dictator Josef Pilsudski, resigned in a pet, claiming that it was impossible for him to serve while a majority of the War Committee remained hostile. The opposition majority immediately elected Socialist Pataks to take his place, but there were enough Government members on the committee to make things hot for Chairman Pataks. Shouting that he was a lily-livered traitor they demanded his resignation, claimed that he wanted to reduce the Polish Army by 60,000 men. Socialist members sprang to his defense, private war invaded the War Committee. Socialists and Pilsudskites shouted insults, hurled inkpots, slapped each other's faces, kicked each other's shins. The melee de-scended upon elderly M. Trametzyski, first President of the Polish Sejm, and M. Trametzyski was in no mood for fisticuffs. Up he sprang, whipped out a short-barreled pistol.

"Psiakrew! Hound's Blood!" he swore, "stand where you are before I blow off your heads!"

Prudent members sneaked out of side doors. Chairman Pataks, adjusting his torn collar, ordered the meeting adjourned.
