Here is the President of Poincare by decree 4 April [1917 r.] ordered the creation of the Polish Army in France; In Kiev, agitation began to create Polish corps, which to fight [had] with Germany for a united homeland. This agitation despite the resistance of the opponents of the Endecja (Lednicki, Więckowski et al.) It spread throughout the revolutionary Russia.

On the news of this, temporary counselors all submitted seats. Soon only the occupiers, In order not to discourage the rest of the supporters, they gave the education and judiciary to Poles. It was very little in combination with progress, which at the same time the prokalialine camp made in the West. 15 August [1917 r.] He was constituted in Lausanne, a 22 He started working in Paris, the Polish National Committee with Dmowski as the president, Maurycym Zamoyski vice president. The committee appointed representatives at the rule of the quadruple: Piltz in Paris, Paderewski in Washington and in. At the beginning, the Committee's action was mainly covered by Zamoyski, The largest magnate in Poland, but also capable of the greatest victims.
