that the incredible was true.
1t is monstrous, it is unthink-

Prussian system.
A year ago / went to Poland to
learn it's facts concerning the rem
nant Of a people that had been decid-
mated by war. The country had
been twice devastated. First the
Russian army swept through it and
then the Germans. Along the road
side from Warsaw to Pinsk, the pres
emit firing line 230 miles, near half a
million people had died of hunger
and cold. The way was strewn with
their bones picked down by the
crows. With their usual thrift the
Germans were collecting the larger
bones to be milled into fertilizer, but
finger and toe bones lay on the
ground with the Undiscovered and
rain-soaked clothing!
Wicker baskets were scattered
along the way-the basket in which
