RELIEF WORK IN POLAND.
The war council of the American
Red Cross has recently appropriated
$4,000, 900 to cover relief work in Po-
land during the sixe months ending
July 81. Announcement of the appro-
priation was almost simultaneous with
that of the arrival in Poland of the
American Red Cross commission which
is to spend the money in helping to
relieve the appalling conditions which
a survey has disclosed there. The
Red Cross work will supplement that
of the Hoover commission to Poland
which has undertaken the rehabilita-
ton of the stricken country.
In addition to providing special
food for the children and sick persons
and relieving the immediate needs OF
those in destitute circumstances, the
Red Cross will establish dispensaries
in five or six Of the principal cities
and distribute clothing, blankets, shoes
and knitted articles among the needy
Drugs and medical equipment for the
dispensaries and supplies for the gen.
eral relief work are now being trans
ported to Poland from the Red Cross
warehouses in Europe. Included ir
the personnel of the Red Cross com
mission are a number Of medical spe,
cialists, fifteen Polish-American anC
four American nurses, who will co
operate with the governmental author
tiles in formulating a general health
program.
Up to the present time the Ameri
can people have been unable, because
Of the many questions involved, to ex
tend through their Red Cross any sub
stantial aid to the Polish people. On
Of the principal reasons for withhold
ing such relief was the fear thai
supplies sent to Poland would fall in.
to the hands of Germany. Investiga'
ton during the war showed that mos
of the foodstuffs produced by POLAND
were confiscated by the countries tina
were at war with the United States
In the autumn of 1917, however, tn
American Red Cross gave $200,OO(
to the general relief committee, il
Poland, to buy condensed milk ant
food for children. A report just re
ceived shows that this contribution
supplied nourishment for about 10,
900 children under ten years of age
An idea of present conditions in Pc
land may be gathered from reports al
ready submitted, showing that a Lod'
in 1917 there were 24OO births an
5000 deaths.
