If in doubt as to what relief cause
to help this winter and unable to
help but one, it is probable that Po-
land should be first choice. Practi-
cally the whole of Poland was oc-
cIlpied by Russian armies who in
their retreat wantonly destroyed
houses, barns, crops and food. 1t
was the order of the car that every
thing be destroyed so as not to fall
into the hands Of. the Germans. No
other country in the world makes war
in this fashion, but it is the Russian
custom and the poor Poles, cruelty
niaitreated for 200 years are the spfe
ferers from this horrible act of inhu
manly. Belgium, Serbia and Ar
menia all need help, but the most
acute need is in Poland and Poland is
the most closely related to this coun
try because of the constant stream OF
emigration that has poured from Po-
land into the United States for the
past thirty years America must
help all the sufferers but Poland
needs it most.

Russian military authorities regard the
situation along the entire front of APP
proXimately SIS miles as favorable
from their point of view. Three days
ago the German efforts between Mitau
and the Gulf of Riga presented a ser
ious problem. At the present time the
status in that sector is considered by
the Russians as satisfactory. The Ger
mans w been checked n their
sphere of action is being narrowed
constantly.
Eastward the Russians are success
fully pressing the Germans, gaining
ground in many places. Their most
considerable success recently has been
at Postavy. This town was taken and
the Germans were driven westward
through Duka, in a fierce battle.
From that vicinity to the Baranovi-
chi region there is little activity at
present in the immediate vicinity of
Baranovichi. the Russians are still on
the offensive.
In Galicia the Russians are following
up their successes at Novo Alexinetz.
1t is stated hat three German divisions
were cut to pieces there.
The Russian authorities attribute
their successes to the .yigor of the Rus
sian attack, the exhaustion of German
troops and the increasing difficulties
with which the Austrians and Germans
have to contend. 1t is stated, how
ever. that the Germans have detached
two armies for service in Serbia. These
are the armies of Generals Won Call
