THOUSANDS ARE STARVING.
Among the Jews in Poland and Lith'
uania, Says Report to London.

London, March Is Correspondence of
the Associated Press The Jewish sit
uation in Poland and Lithuania is SO
tragic that thousands are starving and
tens of thousands elamoring for permits
sion to join their relatives in the United
States, says a report just received by
the London bureau of the Zionist organ
ization from it's special commissioner,
Israel Cohen. The question of reuniting
families, the bureau announces, has been
presented to the state department at
Washington.
At Lemberg, Mr. Cohen says, he made
an inspection of the districts damaged
during the pogroms and spoke with nu-
merous victims as well as with Jewish
representatives and with Colonel Wade
of the British mission to Poland.
"There is abundant circumstantial eyi-
dence proving" his report continues,
that the pogrom was organized by the
local military authorities, who supplied
machine guns, hand grenades, automo-
biles and motor lorries There are sworn
protocols of 500 cases in which officer
patrols took part and 1000 cases in
which ordinary soldiers took part, The
names are known of is officers and ~
soldiers who were guilty of paTticipa
ton in assaults and plumber.
The Polish military command at
Lemberg is making desperate efforts TO
obtain evidence Of Jewish attacks on
Polish soldiers as a justification for the
pogrom. Members Of the Jewish militia
previously released for lack Of any real
charge were resrrested and are still i'm
prisoned by the order of the military
commander, despite the decision Of the
examining Judge that they should be
liberated"
Damage done to personal property
during the pogrom il estimated at l00,-
100000 crowns. This does not include,
however. the loss sustained by the de-
struction of synagogues. The Jewish
relief committee in Lemberg had expend-
ed, up to the time of Mr.. Cohen's re
port, 100000 crowns on feeding, cloth
ing and lodging 5000 families.
After my return from Lemberg," Mr..
Cohen narrates, 81 visited Cawiecim,
where few days ago band of rowdies

Rome, March is Correspondence Of
the Associated Press An American
Methodist commission has recently re
turned to Rome after an extensive trip
throughout Italy to study social and

hundreds of devastated cities and vii,
ages of the northern provinces. City aft

and completely wrecked Tens of thous-
ands of homes have been entirely de-
stroyed Even where house is left
standing nothing remains but the bare
walls and all the furniture has been re.
moved.
Here and there we passed groups of
returning refugees. They looked cold and
forlorn, yet did not complain, Until we
saw it with our own eyes we did not be,

difficulties which Italy has overcome, the
enormous sacrifices she made to win the
war in the Alps
