PitifuI Tales of Distress and Suffering
Told by the Red Cross
Mission.

MISREPRESENTATION tales of the dis
tress and suffering throughout eastern
and southeastern Poland have been
brought to Warsaw by members OF
the American Red Cross mission who
lave just returned from an eight-day
tour of inspection during which they
covered 1,500 miles and distributed
food clothing and medicines in 20 cit
les and numerous villages, according
to cable advices to the Red Cross
headquarters here.
Everywhere they found typhus,
which had practically wiped out whole
towns. Smallpox and traohoma also
were prevalent, epidemics threatening
because sick and well are herded to-
gether in many homes
In many of the isolated villages
starving peasants lined the roadside
and begged for food. For weeks they
had been living on an imitation bread
made from potato\ Feelings, dirty rye
and the bark of trees, but the supply
of even these ingredients had been
exhausted.

limited extent, the last year under
vigilant official supervision, Under
the new methods only the surplus

The herds off the Pribyloff islands
