HOOVER LAUNCHES CAMPAIGN TO AID

Up to the time of the latest outbreak of hostilities. desti- tuition had been so reduced that the Relief Administration officials be- lieved that Poland, with the organi- zation the Americans had perfected would be able to carry on the work after this autumn. That is consid- cred impossible now and prepara- tions are under way for ccring for as many children as during the dark days of last winter.
 This decision came after recei pt in London of reports of a complete survey of the country begun imned- lately after the bolsheyiki were driven back Trained observers re- port that the Poles themselves have not painted the picture black enough After two armies had fought over the ground there was little left for the children. they report, and each requested immediate shipment of food and clothing. As far as pos sible, distributing agents of the ad- ninistration are complying with these requests.
 The organization by which about $19, 1000, 900 worth of food and cloth ing was distributed in Poland in l6 months at a cost of approximately $80.000. is virtually intact. It in cludes between 15,0O0 and 18.000 Poles whose serves are paid for by Poland but who worked under tho direction of few American ad ministratiye officers. The Poles also pay for transportation from tho ships, warehousing and distribution In addition they supply all flour re ceived by them through a s200.0Ol credit granted them by the Grain Corporation.
 Although the distributing organi- zatiOn was considerably disarranged during the recent fighting, officials here say they can get into working order again very quickly after rail road repairs have been completed
