TO THE POLISH NATION! Poles! The hour, which, vainly awaited by three generations of our nation bled in terrible and hopeless wrestling with the Moscow invasion [...], the great hour has struck. All of Europe stands in the conflagration of war [...]. At this moment the nation must prove that it is alive and wants to live, that it wants and knows how to maintain the place assigned to it by God and defend it from the enemy [...] Under Polish command and in close communication with the supreme command of the Austrian-Hungarian army, the Legions will go into battle, in order to throw on the scales [...] also a deed worthy of the Polish nation [...]. Poles! Unite with an indomitable will to obtain a better future and an unshakable faith in that future! [...]. Cast away doubt [...], uproot resentment from your hearts and stand strong in unity and joyful in the great resolve to sacrifice life and property for the Fatherland!
