Childless Poland,

chiidisss Poland.
The truth is hard to believe and i'm
possible of imagination when the hard,
cold facts are sent out from the suffer-
ing reaches Of war-swept territory in
Europe. Out Of a population Of sl,0o0.-
600 Poles. about 100000 remain alive.
according to a letter from W. o. Cor
ski, honorary executive secretary OF
Polish war victims to the fund for
starving children at 10 Fifth Avenue,
New York. He states that the fund
has rescued a number Of children from
certain death, but that the latest au-
thentic reports from Poland are that
all children under seven years of age
have ceased to exist, having died from
hunger and disease
DIR. Karl Liebknecht in his manifes-
to. recently issued in Berlin, says:
Poverty and misery, need and starva-
ton are ruling in Poland, which re-
sembles vast cemetery. The entire
world and much praised European
civilization are falling into ruins
through anarchy which has been let
loose in that country by the world
war"
A representative Of an American re-
lief fund told Paderewski recently Of q
trip from Warsaw to Pinsk, distance
OF about $40 kilometers: along that
highway alone" he said, Il noticed the
civilian garments and the cradles Of
over 100000 human beings, who, their
villages burned by the retreating army
had been compelled to seek refuge fur
Their inland. They had dropped from
starvation and exhaustion by the road
side. and as there had been no time to
bury them, the birds and animals of
prey had picked the bones"
In another place in Galicia, Austrian
Poland, in the district of Gorlice. where
a battle ragged for several months, one
million and half civilian population,
caught betweet the lines of the con-
tending armies. has persisted right
there from starvation, while in hiding.
The latest statistics from Poland re-
veal that up-to-date over two hundred
towns and more than twenty thousand
villages have been RACED to the ground.
Sixteen hundred churches have been
destroyed. The total losses in property
destroyed, agricultural. industrial and
commercial. amount to $1,000, ooo, 900.
Out Of population Of $4,000, 900 Poles
about 900 remain. In other words,
100000 innocent human beings have
persisted (this number includes, how
ever. the younger Poles, fallen in
battle, while compelled by force to
fight for a cause which was not theirs
in the ranks Of the Russian, German
and Austrian armies.)
The correspondent Of the fund for
starving children adds that food in Po-
land can still be obtained through the
German General Importing Company.
This company controls the distribution
Of food in all territories occupied by
the German army and has been op-
posed to all importation Of food from
foreign sources into Poland, but no dif-
ficulty has been encountered so far in
transmitting money into that country.
All cash contributions are transmitted
to Switzerland and hence forwarded by
special messenger to Poland. where
they are distributed among the most
needy.
