PICTURES POLES
(. CRUELTY TO JEWS
Evidence of Deeds in Wilma
Sent to Lithuania by
DR.. RachmiIevitz.
REPORTS SAY 1900 DEAD

PARIS, June 6 (by the Associated
Press) Evidence of cruelties prac-
ticed upon the Jews in Wilma by Polish
troops as seen by witnesses has been
collected by DIR. Rachmilevitz and
| sent to the premier of Lithuania and
transmitted by him to the Lithuanian
commission to the peace conference.
The document says that the same
day the Poles occupied the Wilma rail-
way station they began pillaging the
houses of Jews under the pretext
that they were searching for arms
and bolsheviki. Soldiers of the Polish
legion were seen from windows in the
Vallstrasse forcing open stores close
because of the Jewish Sabbath. On
the afternoon of Monday. April II.
when relative calm obtained. people
who had taken refuge in the cellars
came out. Soldiers, it is said, arrest
searched them and took all the val
uab les from their pocketbooks
Jews Killed and Imprisoned.
Street fighting broke out. the docu-
ment says, on the afternoon of April
%, after the city had been entirely
cleared of bolsheviki. A considerable
number of Jews were killed or thrown
into prison.
Pedestrians in the streets were rob
bed of their clothing and particularly
their shoes. Prominent residents or
the town were arrested and tortured
and held for ransom. Some others
were killed.
Reports speak of 500 persons hav-
ing been killed in Wilma alone, while
it is estimated that from 1000 to 5000
were deported from Wilma to Ida.
Ransoms of 1900 to $1,000 rubles were
demanded of Jews who were thought
to have money.
Those deported were subjected to
the most cruel treatment, according
to the report, being dubbed with
rifle butts and entirely deprived of
food during the journey.
Describes Cruelties.
Other reports in the document say
that the Jewish population was sub
jected to indescribable cruelty. The
Polish authorities prohibited any one
from selling bread to the Jews. 1t
also was impossible for them. it is
said. to bring in food from neigh
boring localities, because the Poles
leading out of the city.
Between pril 10 and May 4. the
document says, the Jews in Wilma
suffered damage estimated at 100000
rubles.
and April %. The majority of those
killed. it is asserted. We're buried
on the spot where they fell, so it is
impossible to arrive at the exact
number of victims.
The document says that the Lithu-
anian commission desires to point out
that it appealed to the great powers
for a commission of investigation
before Premier Paderewski of Poland
took such a step.
