Joseph Kovalsky of Laurel street
this past week received the first letter
he has had from his brother, Morris. in
Poland, since the outbreak OF the
World war. The conditions there at
present are very graphically set forth.
According 10 the letter, conditions
there, just now, are as serious as at
any tiTfe during the war. Food can
only be obtained with difficulty, cloth
ing is scarce and almost prohibitively
expensive, and there are so few houses,
that the greater ma jority of the people
are forced to live in the streets in the
cities and in the open fields in the
country Both of Mr.. kovalsky's par.
ents died during the war; his mother in
1918, and his father in 1917. His broth
err is at present existing tunder the
present conditions he cannot be said TO
be living with his wife and children,
three in number, in the town of Selny
in the county OF Suvalki from where
the letter was mailed considerable
period ago The reason for his not
writing before was given by Morris
kovalsky as due to the fact that
in the early days of the war the town,
in which he and his family were living,
was burned down one night, and in the
haste to escape the confagration, they
fed with nothing but clothes. leaving
the remainder Of their personal proper
tv behind
