will. through Count Won Bernstorff. in
form the United States that the Ger
man forces in Poland will not confis-
cate any articles OF food or clothing
sent from this country for relief pur-
poses.
Many thousand persons in Poland
have become destitute during the mil
itary campaign there and the German
embassy here daily has been besieged
by residents Of the United States hav-
ing relatives or friends in Poland or
interested in relief work there, seeking
to enlist the aid Of German officials to
get food and clothing into the affected
area.
The attention Of the Berlin govern
ment is said to have been brought to

would not permit goods for Poland to
pass. believing that they would uiti-
mately fall into the hands OF the Ger
man military authorities.
