POLAND STRIPPED
By B~OCHEFORCES

WARSAW, Dec. 20, By the Asso-
ciated Press. POLAND was stripped of
all materials and machinery during the
German occupation which ended Nov.
II. On that day a few thousand sol
diers of the Polish legion, aided by
the population Of Warsaw, disarmed
more tina 20, 900 German soldiers who
had planned a revolt against their own
officers,
All food and all telephone wires were
remOVed by the Germans. All indus
trial plants were robbed and dismantled
with the result that Poland will have
a hard job to start in again, even IL
financial and political conditions were
of the best, observers say Discussing
the economic situation in Poland, Stan
islau Larlowski, director of the Com
merical Bank Of Warsaw, said to the
correspondent today:
1T will take nearly SO. 900, 900, 900 to
repair the damage one during the
German occupation, and to put us on
u feet properly and to develop our
great natural resources. Our oil prod
ucts return 500. 900, 900 marks annually,
and we are rich in coal and salt mines,
potash, forests and agricultural prod
ucts.
At the present time the economic
situation is confused because Russian
rubles, Austrian crowns and German
marks are in circulation. The marks
are a heritage of the German occupa-
ton.
"In April, 1917, the Germans issued
1000, 600, 900 marks, which they called
Polish marks. The issue was made
through a special bank with tho an
nouncement that after two years Polish
marks would be redeemed by German
marks. By this scheme. tho German
reichsbank was not compelled to issue
extra money, and therefore did not in
lure its own credit

trouble, The sum that could be real
lied from the sale Of the property of
dumb looks very tempting to the poli :
ticians of the state, he suggests, adding
that it is solely responsible for the eff

GERMANS MISUSE
RED eros BADGE
IN MANY CASES

With the American Army In
France, Nov. Misuse of the Red
Cross emblem by the German army is
bringing bitter comment from Ameri-
can officers in position to know what
is being done. A lieutenant in the
Medical Corps and an infantry officer
assert that "all the stories told about
German armys devIlish and inhuman
tactics are true"
Taught to respect the Red Cross
flag, American troops were led into
many an ambuscade by Boche trick
cry in the display of this insignia. And
what has incensed the Americans the
most is the fact that the Germans re-
fused to recognize the Red Cross en-
blem at any time.
Before going to the front 1 was
inclined to doubt some of the stories
being circulated about the Germans"
said the medical officer, but after one
month in the front lines 1 can be-
lieve anything that is said against
them. They are so guilty of inhu-
. man and barbarous acts themselves
/ that they refuse to respect the use
( of the Red Cross by the Allies. Their
use of the Red Cross insignia is one
of the biggest crimes they ought to
be made to answer for after the war.
& One of the tricks used by the Boche
was to plant a Red Cross flag in the
i tower of a church of village in the
path of the advancing Americans. Re
specting it, the infantry would not call
\ for any concentration of artillery fire
lion these buildings.
III The American troops upon taking
,Ilone particular village advanced upon
lila church, from which was displayed
la Red Cross flag, without suspecting
any trick. When they were within
short range. a murderous machine
gun fire was poured into their ranks
| from the windows and towers of the
church. When the Americans finally
gained the interior, they found six
machine guns, manned by platoon OF
/ sturdy Boches-not a sign of any hos
| pital or dressing station. Needless to
say no prisoners were taken.
