BRITISH AID TO o. s. TOLD.
They Transport 81 Per Cent. of
American Troobs.

The British Ministry of Shipping in
this city made public yesterday official
figures showing that about 81 per cent.
OF the American overseas forces were
transported across the Atlantic in the
ships provided by Great Britain. For
this purpose the British furnished 1870
vessels. which made altogether 573 voy-
ages carrying a total Of 100000 officers
and men across
In spite OF the inroads made in neutral
and allied shipping by the U-boat activi-
ties in 1915 and 1917. the data given out
by the ministry shows that the transport
facilities furnished by the Allies for
American soldiers actually outdistanced
the supply OF troops ready for service
before the armtstice was signed.

Poland Needs Food Supplies.
Rv the Associdted Press.

ire Allies Immediately there Is grave
danger that the population. which Is fac

movement and thereby n tho sta
nifty OF the new government, according
N Lieut.. Stanislaw Hempel. aide de
camp to Gen. Joseph Pnsudski. military
head Of the Polish Government
lieut.. Hempel, who arrived in Paris
few DAYS ago from Poland on a diplo-
matte mission, has issued an urgent plea
through the that the United
States rush food to his country. In
tbls plea he declared there were only
two or three weeks supplies left and
that while the people hus far had stead
lastly refused to accept Bolshevism they
might he expected to revolt unless pro-
yided with the necessaries of life
The Lieutenant said that Bolshevism
was the one thing which the new repub-
lie now feared. Poland was surrounded
By revolutlonists, and, having been
stripped of virtually all means for max
Ing a livelihood, naturally promised fer
tile ground for Russian and German
propagandista.
Poland RavaEed by Germans.
The German army denuded Poland not
only Of foodstuffs. but carried off all
horses and so per cent. OF the cattle, so
that il Is impossible to cultivate the land.
In addition, all wool and cotton were
taken and the people are destitute OF
clothing. which Is costing at the rate of
1900 marks for a suit made principally
OF cotton.
The latest official news from Poland
was received by Hempel ten days ago,
when the country was still standing
frmly for the newly established democ-
racy, despite the efforts of German and
Russian B~olshevists to win adherents
and threats made by hostile forces along
the Polish frontiers.
At that time some 1000 or 5000 re-
cruits were fiock,ng to the standard
Of the Polish army daily to augment
the 100, 900 troops under Gen. Pilsudski
a month ago. The army was supplied
with rifles and machine guns and 1t
proposed to use it's forces along the
borders to protect Polish interests. The
soldiers are absolutely against Bolshev-
ISM and are ready TO support the Pres
ident OF the republic TO the end.
Il assure you that all that has been
said about the Polish army m%assacring
Jews is false" Lieut.. Hempe! declared.
The Ukralnians when Withdrawing
from Lelnberg massacred 200 Jews and
also 5000 Poles. As forty-nine out Of
fifty shops in our villages are kept by
Jews It was natural they would be the
victims Of the retiring Ukrainians. But
