To hear this man's story is to have Intimate glimpses of many of the outstanding events in history for the last three-quarters of a century. To
know the man himself is to receive both & benediction and an inspira- tion. More than fourscore years of age, he yet retaine a buoyant, almost youthful spirit which seems only to have been mellowed by all the flerce strife through which he has passed. His Is an uncompromising optimism which gives one new faith in the cause of democracy and the upward march of the human race.
Above all else. this man is a rare exe.np !!! ication of living patriotism. Having freely offered his life on many battlefields he turned in time of peace to other battles for the right and gare himself with cqual abandon to every cause which he espoused. Though gravely wounded in the civil war. be parar consented to ask for a pension until just a few months ago. At the close' of his brilliant services for Mexico, that republic sought to Nwurd him with rich lands, but these be declined. . ·
It was something more than two years ago, at a dinner of the Los Angeles Adventurer's club, that I first saw Colonel Bobleski-the hero of whom I had read since boyhood. writes John Anson Ford in the Dear- born Independent. He was & guest of honor and before I learned his name one glance at his massive head and powerful frame told me that he was a man of distinction.
He was called on for a few words of personal reminiscence. He Todo deliberately and paused a moment as he straightened himself up, his dark eyes sweeping the company before him. It was difficult to believe he was 85. The speech, which sketched briefly the outstanding adventures of his life, was short ant possessed a almplicity and frankness which re- moved it far from a boasting or self- praise.
In 1846 his father, Count Bobleakl. fifth lineal descendant of King John III of Poland, shared in an in- surrection against Russia, was cap- tured and imprisoned for eighteen months.
"Prom the day of my father's cap- ture, my mother had not heard a word from him." he related. "Then unexpectedly we were vialted by a detachment of Cossacks who com- manded my mother to follow them to Warsaw. Though I was but 6 years old, that two days' journey In our own carriage escorted by those cossacks is stamped indelibly on my mind. Even more poignant are the memories of the day that followed.
"The Viceroy. the czar's brother. into whose presence wo were led.

lost no time in imparting his tragic message. My father was still living but was to be put to death the next morning and my mother's own father and two brothers were in the same prison and were to die at the same time. By authority of the czar the viceroy proposed that my mother consent to have me, her only child. educated as a Russian by the Greek church and that she herself take the oath of fidelity to the czar. Dut do 1.ot suppose that in return for this the lives of any of our kin were to be spared. In return for ber sacri- fice she was to have the privilege of continuing to live on her own estate. The penalty for refusing this offer was to be immediately exiled and confiscation of all estates and belong- ings. My mother indignantiy ro- fused."

After six years of wandering in strange landa, haunted by fears, the spirit of the brave mother broke under . the strain and she died In England, leaving her only son an orphan and an exile at 12.
Being without money the little fel- low succeeded to stowing AWAY op | the warghtp .. Comtiation .

the Lodians of the " West. Then the Civil I thw myself - into cause. I participated mu tortt engagements and was under fire times. On the deld of Gettysburg I received an abdominal wound which the surgeons pronounced 'mortal.' They carried me to an emergency hospital."
But, as all the world knows, Bobleak! proved the surgeons wrong in their diagnosis.
The colonel Is one of the few still living who came into close contact with Lincoln. It was toward the close of the war that he met the Great Emancipator. To him Lincoln assigned the perilous task of going to Richmond as a epy and appraising the strength of the Confederate capital's fortifications. He easily as- sumed the role of a Polish nobleman, and under the pretense of being a refugee, passed through the enemy's lines and into Richmond, where be remained three weeks.
He Interviewed the leaders of the rebellion, including President Jeffer-
son Davis and members of his ! cabinet, and Gen. Robert E. Lee. Eventually he reported to Lincoln that Richmond, In his Judgment, was impregnable. The colonel believes If Grant had heeded bis advice the North might have saved a great num- ber of lives that were sacrificed in the struggle to reach Richmond.
Later Bobleski was dispatched as & apy to Mobile. Arriving there in safety, be presented letters of intro- duction to various prominent Con- federates, one of whom boosted:
"The enemy has been trying to get Into Mobile ever since the war began, but not a damned Yankee bas suo- ceeded in getting in jet, except prisoners of war!"
When the mealous young Fole was mustered out of the United States army in June, 1808, be at once de- termined to enlist in the cause of Mexico's republic, then in dire straits by reason of the French invasion and Maximilian's determination to set up & monarchy. After a futile at- tempt to take a company of Ameri- can comrades with him into Mexico, Sobieski and three companions turned north and then westward. making their way as best they could across country until they penerated Mexi- co.
. Just sixteen days before Bobleski enlisted under the Mexican flag Maximilian had decreed that any man found fighting for the republic should be shotl The young Pole had
a good cause to remember Maxi- milian. But as a volunteer who soon became & colonel, he litte dreamed how fate was to turn the tables which had been so against him and his mother eighteen yourt before.
Maximilian had banished Bobleski and his mother, together with a num- ber of other political exiles, from Milan, Italy, for engaging in & pop- ular demonstration in that city. It so happened that Bobleski was placed in charge of the would-be emperor of Mexico the second day after bis cap- ture by the republican forces and he could not refrain from going per- sonally to Maximilian and reminding bim of the decree which had banish- ed him, Bobleski, and his mother from Italy.

. "Maximilian could scarce compre- hend all that I told him." the colonel remarked. "He seemed partly dazed by the swift progress of events. But by the swift progress of events. But at length the significance of the situation crept over him and be ut- tered this brief but significant com- ment:
"Well, time rounds up all things!"
·
1093
"I was in command of the reserve fring aparty at Maximilian's execu- tion," Bobleski continued. "When the order to fire was given be fell mortally wounded. I then ordered one of the men from my party to advance and, handing him my ro- volver, ordered him to place it to the ear of the suffering man and fire. Thus ended his career.
"Perhaps my reason for this act calls for an explanation. In no senso was it personal revenge that prompt- ed me. Rather, I wanted to be sure that the dying man's sufferings would not be prolonged. I had my own weapon used because I was cure it was loaded, whereas there was the possibility that any gun which could be selected from those held by the firing squad might be loaded with a blank cartridge."
-
Colonel Bobleski was sentenced to death, on one occasion, for refusing to put to death more prisoners of war. Various sad experiences had convinced him that it was not only futile, but morally wrong to take human life. The Incident in ques- tion, which came so near having a tragic end, occurred at Sonora when Sobieski declined to execute twenty- two French boys who had been taken prisoners.
"I was tried and sentenced to be shot for my refusal to obey orders, -
the sentence being subject to the ap- proval of General Escobo, who at that time was 500 miles away. After waiting in suspense for a month, one morning General Cesteno in whose command I was, hurrying toward me, waving a paper in his hand. Embracing me and kissing me in Mexican fashion he exclaimed. You aro pardoned! You are pardon-
ed !' "
Bobleski learned afterward that General Casteno's beautiful daughter had ridden a thousand miles to se- cure that pardon and speed with it back to the camp. When the repub- lic was re-established this son of Poland and adopted son of America was hailed as one of Mexico's saviors, and showered with honors He was also offered 10,000 acres of Mexican land but declined the gift. 1
Followed peaceful but strenuous years in the United States. While still & young man he was elected to the Minnesota legislature as an avowed advocate of temperance in a time when anti-liquor activity was not popular. to say the least.
Until five or six years ago Colonel Bobleski lectured constantly. chiefly Ip America, on various great reforme and historical figures. His lectures were made doubly brilliant by the Introduction of personal anecdotes concerning these individuals.
