DAMAGE POLAND
 TO. THE EXTENT
 MANY MILLIONS
(The Associated Press)

WARSAW, Dec. 21-The extent of the damage done by the Germans during their occupancy of Poland has been placed at two millions of dollars. The invading troops stripped the country of all metals that were needed in the manufacture of muni. tions of war and left nothing behind.
 The food supply of Poland was greatly reduced by the Germans, who took thousands of tons of grain and other supplies for their troops and made no offer of payment. Tele- phone and telegraph wires were torn down and melted for the metal they contained. All of the industrial plants were dismantled and the ma. chinery shipped to interior points in Germany. So complete was the work of the Germans that nothing was left with which to make even crude instruments.
