Appeal to legionaries at the time of the oath crisis. 1917.

NOT to print. Legionaries! From the combat front of the Legions only echoes of your fame have so far reached us, filling all Polish hearts with pride. We have placed all our encouragement, all our hope in your military deeds, seeing in them the most eloquent testimony that Poland has not died, that it is reborn in the fire of your battles [...]. Is there really a threat of a terrible catastrophe, the breaking up of the Legions? [...]. Brothers! Do not give in to discouragement, do not listen to the suicidal whispers of despair [...]. If we want the Polish state to encompass not only the former Russian partition, but also Galicia, we must persist in this indissoluble unification, the visible embodiment of which are the Polish Legions [...]. Trust and persevere [...]. [Warsaw, VII 1917?] [Subp.] Michal Lempicki - Member of the Duma, President of the Polish Statehood League, Dr. Jozef Brudzinski - President of the City Council, Rector of the University, Alfons Parczewski - Member of the Duma, Dean of the Legal Department of Warsaw University [and 21 other persons].
