Many Americans in Poland Found to
 Be in Distress

Warsaw, Nov. 3.-Capt. Leo F. Mcclure of Tulsa, Okla, of the Red Cross mission to Poland, found many Americans in distress in Odessa when he was sent to that city recently to bring out the wives and children of Polish army officers and men who had been left there when the troops withdrew last April.
 Many of the Americans, he says, were women whose husbands were in America, and some were mothers of sons in the United States. The American civilians petitioned the Red Cross agents to report their condi- tion to any nearby American consul late in the hope of obtaining imme- diate help. They had little money and were contriving by uncertain means to keep the body and soul to- gether Captain McGuire brought to Poland much mail for their families in America.
 The troops of General Denikine, aided by British and French had cap tured the city from the bolsheviki when Captain Mcclure reached Odes- sa, but the people of the city were in various stages of misery.
 Though the bolshevik batteries that had pounded the city from near by hills finally had been silenced, Odessa was still haunted by the ter TOT of the late bolsheviki regibe, writes Captain Mcclure. Bands of anarchists were scattered throu gh- out the town and their armies were only 13 miles distant. Revolution seemed to be fomenting and dis tracted throngs of miserable people were clamoring for safety and escape from another period of terror.
 People who were rich before the bolshevist occupation of the city and who were so lucky as to have con- cealed their treasures were selling jewels, furniture, linens and all superfluous belongings to obtain a meagre ration of bread.
 "The Polish women and children for whom we had come to this great Black Sea port were bewildered and frightened lot who had managed to escape with their lives through agonizing times of calumny, corrup- tion and terror. All told the same tale of cruelty. Before leaving the city, the bolsheviki had forced theil unhappy Polish prisoners to give ur to them more than 100000 rubles This left them utterly without funds
 Fantastic prices for commodities made living conditions insuffertable The black bread cost 100 rubles g pound, butter 130 rubles. One chicker cost thousand rubles and glass of drinking water two rubles. Fou, kinds of money were current, that o1 the Kerensky regime, the bolshevist Ukrainian and special Odessa ruble A penny box of matches brought r rubles, and shoes, when they coulc be obtained. brought untold thous ands of rubles. These extraordinary prices mean starvation for thousand: of people.
 "Disease was prevalent. Typhu! and cholera have long since worked their deadly way among the enor nous drifting population. Ye the number of inhabitants continue: to increase. Before the war Odessf had 600.000 people; now it has nor, than 1,500,0000.
 It was hearsbreaking not to D, able to rescue the thousands of Pole who had taken refuge in Odessa anC were unable to leave. Their number is said to be 30,000. All were longing 1 to ,ot,,,p to tbai,. ou-,, ony,,tr,,

Children Forced
 from School as
 Troops Need Them

Berlin, Nov. 3.-some of the public schools of the city have been unable to admit pupils this autumn because the buildings were occupied by home defense troops which camped in them during the vacation period. Au- thorities of the schools have pro- tested to the Prussian minister of education and to Defense Minister Noske, pointing out that hundreds of moving picture theatres, concert halls and hotels have remained un- disturbed by troops.
 To provide barracks for these sol diers, the government is confiscating the quarters of numerous war so- cieties.
 Because of the prospective short age of coal, it is planned to combine several schools, reduce the courses and hours of study to IS week. This has aroused a protest.
