Polish Parents Regain

Returning Refugees Find Those
Torn From Them in the
Great German Drive

WARSAW, Sept 5 (By MaiD.-Names
and faces Of streams of returning
refugees are being eagerly scanned by
Red Cross workers in every city of
Poland each day in search for the
parents of 10000 unclaimed children
lost in the chaos Of the German drive
of 1915
Every day from the starved ranks of
the wanderers some worn woman or
broken father clasps the thin waif
from whom they were mercilessly torn
almost three years ago-a reunion that
takes place as often as not in some Red
Cross refugee station. There are thou
sands who will never be claimed. for
their parents. driven away when the
Germans came. found temporary safety
in Russia, where they were cought in
the web of anarchy and suffered death
in the da of Russian terror.
All of the children are now under
the care of the American Red Cross
and such supplies as are available have
been devoted to their needs. But for
the thousands who will never again
be united with their parents more than
temporary aid is needed. Some per
manent institutional scheme will have
to be devised. but this must await more
normal times than the present.
