LAUGHTER OF CHILD
SCARCE IN POLAND

SIn all the time I was In Poland,
scarcely once saw a child laugh"
declared DR. Harry Plotz, discoverer Of
the typhus bacillus, In a report to
the European Relief Council on med
zeal conditions among the Jewish popu-
lation Of Poland, based on his recent
investigations there for the Jewish
Joint Distribution Committee.
'The most deplorable sight Of all
the miseries In Poland is the condi-
ton Of the children" DR.. Plotz said.
@1nfant mortality is exceedingly high
because of under-nourishment and the
high percentage Of contagious diseases.
In large part mothers must resort to
artificial feeding as they are unable to
nurse their children. In many cities
saw underfed children, suffering with
diseases, wandering about the streets
with no place to 60. begging for bread. "
tuberculosis has become prevalent
among the Jewish children, largely
due to the overcrowded conditions IN
which they are forced to live, their
lack of nourishing food and warm
clothing, according to DR.. Plotz
Typhus, which killed thousands OF
Jews last winter In the worst epidemic
Poland has ever seen will recur again
he said. as conditions are much worse
among the Jews than ever before.
"Favus. a contagious skin disease
Is now rapidly spreading from child
to child" he continued. "In Wins
there are 1000 cases among the Jew
Ish children alone. Smallpox, too. Il
prevalent throughout Poland and the
Ukraine and children, with wide
spread eruptions and temperature
have been seen running about tn,
streets. There are thousands of cases
every year, which vaccination would
prevent, but there is no vaccine"
DR.. Plotz told how In Lithuanian
villages he found children, six ant
seven years old, unable to walk o.
talk, the result Of malnutrihon. Il
regions where whole towns had beei
destroyed during the war, he foun'
families crowded In miserable dug
outs.

VIENNA DEATH RATE
BECOMES APPALLING
Condition Of Children Even More
Narrowing, Declares Authority
on city's Desperate Plight.


Five years of famine have resulted
IN greatly increased mortality and
morbidlty IN Vienna which before the
rxar was counted as enc of the health
lest cities In Europe. Figures prepared
by DR.. Gustaye Bohn, head of the
Vienna Health Department, show that
In 1918 the death rate was 1873 per
thousand. In 1918 the rate was 225
per thousand. an Increase OF more than
81 per cent.
Professor Hans Spell of the Uni
yersity Of Vienna, says that @even
more terrible than the mortality sta
tistics are those referring to the con-
dition Of children and their mothers.
Owing to under-Reurishment few moth
-ers can nurse their babies. and the milk
shortage Affects not only infants, but
all children In spite Of al that has
been done to help. At Professor
Clemens PirQuet's clinic IN the uni
versity some $3.50 children were ex-
AmIned In 1918. Only 4.637 Of these
or about one-thirteenth were passed as
skin good. fat good; 23y80o were pale
and thin, or very pale and very thin.
"The health Of these children shows
NEST disquieting features Skin disease,
rachitis and Barlew's disease are rife.
1.-The chief medical officer Of Vienna
asks, What is going to happen to these
under-fed children, in whose bodies the
germ Of tuberculosis Is LATENT when
they reach the twenties. at which time
IT becomes actfver"
To combat these conditions the Amer
lean Relief Administration OF which
Herbert Hoover is chairman fed last
winter In the city Of Vienna some
$4,000 of the destitute and under
nourished children, supplying them
with q substantial meal Of American
food, served In a number Of large
kitchens opened fol that purpose.
The conditions in Vienna are more
or less typical Of those In Poland and
other countries OF Central and Eastern
Europe. Last year the Relief Admin.
tstration was able to reach some $780,
900 under-nourished children and this
winter the program calls for the feed
ing of q like numL er, but eight Of the
great charitable organizations OF
