at is a common sight" he said, ito
see an underfed Polish soldier wearing
a salvaged American uniform, a Ger
man iron helmet. Polish buttons and
barefoot. armed with an old Austrian
carbine, with little or no ammunition.
Yet these barefooted soldiers rarely
move without singing
"One OF the principal reasons for this
great problem Is that the Germans
stripped Poland OF her industries, de-
liberately wrecking and burning factories
upon their forced evacuation. The Ger
man planted wheat crop, which has been
harvested by the Poles within the last
six weeks, is going to contribute to the
relief of the situation, but several har-
vests would hardly relieve people who
lately were making bread outf6f leaves
and bark and soup out of grass
"The Germans made much trouble for
us near tho Polish border. They held
up one of our relief trains and were
arrogant and insolent. The Germans
are fat, sleek and prosperous compared
with the despised Pole. and showed con-
tempt for the American relief workera"
