members, said to-day:
"The epidemic continues, Jnotwith-
standing summer conditions, and fresh
cases are constantly being introduced
from the East by refugees, prisoners OF
war and repatrlated persons. The Polish
Ministry of Health and the army medi-

campaign against typhus. but personnel,
supplies and hospitals are insufficient
throughout Poland and there is a la
