TERRIBLE DESOLATION
IN RUSSIAN POLAND
Fully $500 Houses observation-disclosures
sands of Homeless Peasants Iiv-
ing i'm Holes in Ground.


Correspondence of the Associated Press.)
Berlin, Saturday, April 10.-A pic
ture of indescribable desolation, with
fully $500 houses destroyed, thou
sands of peasants homeless and liv-
ing in holes in the ground, and abso-
lutte cessation of any kInu OF work
that shall provide for a fall harvest
is drawn in the reports now reaching
here from Russian Poland.
The retreating Russians, fleeing be-
fore the German advance, appear to
have treated their own territory quite
as severely as they did East Prussia
earlier, and to have left it a veritable
wilderness iIi which disease is apt to
appear at any moment. ana starvation
is almost an absolute certainty within
a short time.
The peasants, or those who still re-
rain, show utter indifference to their
condition and are making not the
slightest effort to reconstruct what
has been destroyed or to plant crops
of any kind.
Three-fourths of Poland has been
hit by the war, and damage estimated
at s5O0.0OO.000 has been done. The
homeless thousands, either too shift
le SIS or too uncertain of the future to
want to reconstruct their houses, have
scooped out burrows in the ground,
in which they now live in lack of any
thing approaching sanitation.
