This anti-Polish spirit becomes more
intense the closer one gets to the
frontier. The old fear of a Russian
menace seems to have disappeared
and to have been succeeded by a de-

morning. ! saw many startling ex-
amples of the conditions produced on
the frontier by the influx of bolshe-
visit troops. who. either tired or dis
gusted with fighting the Poles. were
glad to quit army life even though it
meant long internment.
AS far the eye could reach. the
horses brought in by the 4bolshevik
ran wild or grazed quietly in peace.
Parties of bolshevist soldiers who
had wandered away from the intern
ment camps slept on the road en-
bankments. regardless of the rain.
Others camped among the hillside
rocks. crouching over tiny camp fires
or sprawled asleep under the pro-
lection of trees.
GeSticulating groups were gathered
around the carts of German farmers
bartering their soviet rubles for any
thing edible. Most of these soviet
soldiers wore ragged and soiled uni
forms. some of Russian and others of
American cut. the latter still with
American Army buttons on them
Through the streets of the village

come over as refugees, soldiers, clat-

and long lines of muddy carts carrying
loads of dirty black bread came to the
big internment camp, formerly used
as German training quarters. Through

Quarters Are Miserable.
The German officers and men guard

are too few to prevent some of the
informed men from jumping over the
fences and wandering about at will.
Within the barrier there are between
10000 and $4,000 bolshevist soldiers.
When l saw them they were squatting
in the mud or crowded into under
ground shelters. All were muddy and
miserable. The German garrison is
giving them plenty to eats, 900
rations were issued to them today

the red soldiers had brought their camp
cooking outfits with them and one had
even come with piece Of light artillery.
The cocks were now engaged in break
ing I'D the wooden wheels and ca'sson
boxes and using them for fuel to heat
the soup. Some barracks had been
built by placing sheet iron roofs over
holes in the ground, where Russians
lolied in the mud or slept soundly.
Long lines waited outside the houses
where the soup was being rationed out
Among the others were several women
clad in rough skirts covering the regu-
lation soldiers uniform. They had not
been fighting, but had followed the men
into Poland and then into internment
after the fashion Of their sisters in
