London. Aug. 30.-Aeross ,hc vast
plains of Poland l2,0O0,0o0 people are
in flight-the Polish dispersion is the
greatest exodus since the world he
gan.
Americans living in happy safety
behind an ocean cannot realize the
anguish contained in that statement.
But in one Red Year | have lived
through the partial evacuation Of /
Brussels, Paris, Warsaw and
Vilna-the metropolis Of cid Lith-
uanla-and the first flight from Vii
ma was the most pitiful of the 4.
Let me try to tell how a million
Poles fled from the fortress city
which guards Petrograd. Then it was
winter, with deep snow; now the flight
is through binding heat. the terrible,
pitiless heat of a treeless plain.
For days and weeks the threatened
exodus has been preparing. Under
police supervision all pet animals are
painlessly destroyed. One day brings
an order that all zinc and tin and
nickel, either in pans or sheets, must
be thrown into the NistuIa. On the
next soldier plumber commanders pip
ING, piling their vast accumulation in
to waiting scoWs.
Before the weekend every house is
officially searched for the supplies
which invaders covet and tons of such
contraband are burned IN fhe market
squares. Tens oC thousands Of homes
are ruthlessly emptied
It is announced that jewelers. work
ing at public furnaces will melt down
unwieldy pieces of silver for safe car
riape; that all Poles must be watch
ful not to destroy any article Of his
toric significance must be saved
for the museums of new Poland.
Professors sit by the street corners
to censor and collect for the new ma
ton any books which should be saved.
Chemists gather household stores Of
drugs now more valuable than ru-
bies.
Housewives bereft Of all but the
barest possessions foregather at the
public fountains patient and hopeful.
Food comes into town irregularly and
costs 10 times the usual price. Yet
the cry is
"Let us eat up all our food, share
any surplus with those in need, leave
nothing for an oncoming enemy"
Values are revolutionized Articles
of sentiment are more precious than
jewels. LuXuries are treated like
lumber. Possessions lie in the streets
unguarded, for no thief would profit
by theft at this end Of the world.
Nothing can be safely hidden, since
Wilma may be burned, nothing buried
beyond fear of enemy trenches.
On a Sunday every church bell in
the threatened town chimes out the
royal hymn of old Poland. Then every
bronze bell is unslung and borne
away.

off toward Russia. Far as the eye
