The Count was educated in the
public schools of Poland and at the
University of the King at Lwow
in Southeast Poland, near the Sov-
iet Russian border.
‘fl could stand at my window in

the Soviet border, and look over the
stone wall, seven yards high, the
national boundary, and see the Sov-
iet soldiers in their daily routine,
just across the river from the bor-
