Poland's tribute to America. Miss Liberty in Poland, the Statue of Liberty held up her light on July 4 as brightly in Warsaw, Poland's capital, as she did in the harbor of New York. A replica of the famous statue was erected on the balcony of the National Opera on Independence Day, which is now a national holiday with the Poles. The celebration this year was arranged as a testimonial to the Americans of the Red Cross, the embassy and other organizations now in Poland. The square before the opera was the scene of the celebration and the balcony was the reviewing stand for Americans
