of the Approaching
Winter.

filled with the displaced population
Of the troubled regions. They are

homeless some OF them for yaers and
in many cases hundreds. of miles from
their homes.
On the grass and weed-grown sid

flys from the nearby bushes and on
i~mprovised stoves or open fires on
boxes of sand they cook such meager
food as foraging or charity either Of
the villages or government gives
them. Generally they are ~wretchedly
clothed, the children often being hall
naked.
Many Of these refugees are trying
to get back to their homes in the
freed regions, but many more are
simply milling" about aimlessly
having long ago abandoned hope
New and then q locomotive will drag
them slowly somewhere, so these
floating and pitiable people drift
about Poland and face the rigors o
