 Province of MinSk.

 In, order to reach Poland it will be necessa ny for Gitlitz to go first to Havre, next to Paris, thence to SWitz- erland, thence to Austria, thence to Czecho -Slovakia and finally to Poland in which state the province of Minsk is located. He found considerable diff ficulty in securing the papers neces- sary to allow him to leave the country, traverse the several states of Europe and finally return with the two members of his family. Affidavits and requests for passports passed through the hands of five consuls before Git litz was notified that he might sail.
