TROOPS RAVAGE POLAND.
Country Swept Clean of Houses and
Crops Destroyed.

Correspondence of the Associated Press.
LONDON, October 31-A corre-
spondent returned from the scene Of
the operations about the fortress of
Ossovetz and the watering place of
Druskieniki reports that the ravages
made by waves of troops, both Russian
and German, across this region, chiefly
inhabited by Jews in the villages and
Poles and Lithuanians in the rural dis
tricts, have for a distance of 100 miles
swept the country bare of any sign
of crops.
Trenches, pits, dugouts, embankments
and mounds are everywhere. Scatter
ed over the fields are remains of prop
erty of every description. Rarely can a
sound tree be found, practically all
bearing the sign of shrapnel and other
shell fire. Houses and huts are in va
rlous states of ruin and the fields lit
tered with the wreck of transport
trains, wagons, harness and remnants
of barricades, and the country side re-
minds one of a Kansas district ravaged
by a cyclone.
1t is no uncommon sight to see a man
owning hundred acres of fertile soil
begging for food. Kovno, which in
normal times has a population of 30
600, now shelters $4,000, 20 per cent of
whom are Jews and 80 per cent of these
are old. people and children.
The position of these Jews is all the
more pitiful for, under Russian law, all
of the governments east. and north of
the governments of Wilma and Warsaw
are closed to them notwithstanding the
fact that 100000 of their brethren are
lighting in the Russian army, twenty
six of whom up to the present date
have been decorated with the st.
Keorge's cross, the equivalent of the
Victoria cross in the English service

A review of the national bird census,
as taken by the biological survey some
months ago, was given by Prof. w. w.

the Biological Society of Washington

do the facts justice, especially when it
comes to city life.
