The following is statement by F.
c. Walcott, who served as an assist
ant to Mr.. Hoover during the time
!. America was doing all that was pos
sible to feed the starving millions of
Belgium and Poland and northern
France. In this work he was brought
in direct contact with German military
officials, and saw the conditions which
the German invasion had created
among the civilian population:
went to Poland to learn the facts
concerning the remnant Of a people
that had been decimated by war. The
country had been twice devastated.
First the Russian army swept through
1t and then the Germans. Along the
roadside from Warsaw to Pinsk, the
present firing line, go miles, nearly
half million people had died Of hun
ger and cold. The way was strewn
with their bones picked clean 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
ClCthing
Wicker baskets were scattered along
the way-the basket in which the baby

little 1 had to give 1t up, there were
so many.
That Is the desolation one saw along
the great road from Warsaw to Pinsk,
mile after mile, more than two hum
dred miles. They told me a million
people were made homeless In six
weeks Of the German drive in August
and September, 1916. They told me
four hundred thousand died on the
way. The rest, scarcely half alive,
Many OF these have been sent to 81.

In the refugee camps, 100000 sur
vivors of the flight were gathered by
the Germans, members Of broken fam
flies. They were lodged in jerry-built
barracks. scarcely waterproof, un-
lighted, unwarmed in the dead Of win
ter. Their clothes. where the buttons
were lost, were sewed on. There were
no conveniences. they had not even
been able to wash for weeks. Filth
and infection from vermin were
spreading. They were famished. their
daily ration a cup Of soup and piece
of bread as big as my nst.
In Warsaw, which had not been de-
stroyed, a city Of one million inhab-
itants, one Of the most prosperous cit
les Of Europe before the war. the
streets were lined with people In the
pangs of starvation. Famished and
rain-soaked, they squatted there, with
their elbows on their knees or lean
ing against the buildings, too feeble
to lift a hand for bit Of money or a
morsel of bread II one offered 1t. per
fishing of hunger and cold. Charity
did what 1t could. The rich gave all
that they had, the poor shared their
last crust. Hundreds Of thousands
were perishing. Day and night the
pictures Is before my eyes-a people
starving, q nation dying.
The above statement by Mr.. Wal.
colt is a terrible arraignment OF the
Hun, but no more terrible than he
deserves. What has happened In
Poland, in Belgium. in northern
France and every other country that
has been blighted by the Huns pres
ence would happen In America should
the allies, by any chance, fail to win
this war. 1t would mean the enslave-
ment Of American men, the starving
and death of American women and chill
dren. Either the Hun or humanity
must perish.

CRITICLSES BOARD
FOR TAX REDUCTION
State Tax Commission Advisor
Tells Why Decrease Should
Not BE Made.

jefferson City, Mo, April 23.-Cor-
nelius Roach. chairman of the State
Tax Commission, declared today that
the reduction Of property assessments
by Attorney General Frank w. Nc
Allistcr, Secretary Of State John l..
Sullivan and State Treasurer George
H. Niddlekamp was ruthless and I'M
reasonable" and that the law had
been ignored and anarchy in state
taxation is invited to take full charge
Raising the assessed valuation of
state from Si,75O,00O,000 to over S4.-
00,000,0O0 did not mean a proper
tionate increase of taxes. Every citi-
zen in the state we'll knows that Gov,
Gardner had pledged himself to call
special session of the General As
scmbly to lower and adjust the rates
so that taxes would be only what the
state, the counties, cities and school
districts need for necessary purposes
to carry on their legitimate functions.
"The action Of the majority of the
State Board in taking off the tax
books 80 or 60 per cent Of the proper
ty in the state subject to taxation is
ruthless and unreasonable. The law
has been ignored and anarchy in tax
alton matters has been invited to take
full charge. Uniformity in taxation
and equity among taxpayers have
been sacrificed for what the mapority
members of the State Board mistak-
emily imagine is party expediency. Low
tax rates and equitable assessments
have lost the first battle, but the
ranks of the people will rally to a
counter attack"
