Many calls for help come daily to
Ashland and will be responded to by
the advisory board of the Salvation
Army which was formed in this city
recently to obtain social service for
this section closely following that
provided during the past war.
The findings of the board will be
kept confidential, and used only to
guide the Salvation Army officials
in determining their action in this
vicinity. II is not anticipat-
ed that conditions in this city
and adjacent territory will be
found worse than in any other com
munity of similar character or loca-
tion, but the board believes the study
will be of value in revealing oppor-
tunities for work by the army in
fields not now covered by any exist
ing charitable or religious organiza-
tions. The board will constitute a
link through which this district may
call upon the Salvation Army for as
sistance at any time, while the army
in turn through its report on the To-
cal condition will be able to make
its work here more efficient.
Similar boards are being formed
in every county in Oregon and other
eastern states, according to Field
Representative Chilcote. He said
the plan would ultimately be extend
ed to all the states west of the Mis-
sissippi.

Waterloo, Aug. l4.-Inside facts of
the conditions In Poland were given
here by Mrs. Herman Walner. who
with her three daughters, arrived In
this city from their former home in
the war stricken country. Mr.. Wal
ner came here previous to the world
war and was unable to bring his
family to his new home until now.
Cruelties worse than any told
about the Germans during the war
are being practiced In Poland. ac-
cording to Mrs. Walner. Jewish
people have had their goods taken
away from them and are constant
fear.
1.-THE German soldiers acted like
gentlemen in comparison with the
Polish leaders after the armistice had
been signed" said Mrs! WaLer.
when the German soldiers CANT in
from the battlefields the first, day,
they acted rough and helped them
selves to food wherever they could
find it, because they were half
starved. But the next day and from
then on they were gentlemen"
Mrs. Walner says that SO cruel
have the Polish leaders become that
the poorest classes rather welcome
the bolshevik army, believing they
can be no more heartless than the
native commanders.
The woman was reluctant to talk,
fearing punishment II Polish people
read what she said. The little girls
were also very timid and are still
living IN fear Of mistreatment from
Polish officials.
