immediately flooded with pleas from
10000 men who. because of the war.
had no been able to bring their fam
lilies over or even communicate with
them. In some cases the men had
no idea where their loved ones were.
Our task has been to take. what
information W could get of the last
known residences of these wives and
children and put our commissioners
in Poland on the trail to locate them.
When this is done we advise the fam

it will take to bring his people over

Of proving their right of aamittance.
When the families actually arrive we
