INSPECTORS DISCOVER
THOUSANDS STARVING
ON old RUSSIAN line
DIV Assoclated Pressl


WARSAW, July 21.-Inspectors OF
the American relief administration or
the European children's fund which is
feeding 100000 children in Poland
have just explored districts along the
eastern frontier of the new republic
where thousands OF persons made
homeless by war. are living in SOL
diers' dugouts and where no white
bread has been seen in more than
three years. Heretofore, 1t has been
almost impossible to reach these
areas chiefly because Of lack Of trans
portation
In the Pripet Marsh country, be-
tween Pinsk and the Russian border
one inspector reported that after reach
ing the railroad terminal he had
travelled two days by automobile, then
by boat and by horseback to visit
people who had been reported in need.
Potatoes had ben the principal food
upon which these people existed during
the winter, the inspectors reported,
and with the coming of spring, men,
women and children lived chiefly upon
cooked grass, dandeiions and some
farm products.
Live in Dueouts.
At various points along the frontier,
which follows the old GermanRussian
trench line of 1917, peasants who had
been driven from their homes by adj
vancing armies, have been returning
only to find their homes demolished
and virtually everything gone except
ing the bare land. They have taken
to the dugouts for shelter until they
are able to build shacks upon their
holdings.
In scores of villages in this battle
area not one house has been left stand.
ing. They were demolished either
during the fighting between the Rus,
SLAMS and the Germans or afterward
when the Bolsheviki invaded territory
which is now a part of Poland. Nc
attempts have been made to reorganize
the local government.
Whole Village Destroyed.
In 1914 the village of Toboly had 124
buildings. Not a house is left stand
ing. OF the inhabitants about 500 are
living in dugouts and so other persons
have sought shelter in nearby bar
racks.
Three hundred persons who claim
Swanowicze AS their home town are
all living in dugouts.
When the German and Russian arm
les clashed. Lubieszow, was a thriving
village of 995 buildings. Twenty houses
are now standing, some badly damaged
by shellfire. There 500 persons are
living in barracks and the 20 houses.
Because of the shortage of horses
il was common sight in these dis
tricts, according to the inspectors re
ports, to see men and women pulling
plows in the fields.
Arrangements have been made b,
the relief administration officials to ge
food to these districts as soon as posi-
BILE and, during the summer kitchens
will be established where all children
up to II years of age will receive on
full meal each day

Can appendicitis be guarded against?
Yes, by preventing intestinal infec-

MEMORIAL DAY
FITTINGLY OBSERVED
Attendance Larger Than Usual and
Address by Judge Reed Unusually
Good, Though Day Rather Cold.


Notwithstanding the early morning
rain and the chilly northwest wind Of
the remainder Of the day, the attend
ance at the memorial exercises Mon
day was larger than it has been in
several years.
The parade was a long one, includ-

cadets, Girl Scouts, Female College
students and students of the public
school. However, the veteran column
showed the ravages of time, there be-
ing several less than We're in the coll
umn year ago.
The usual solemn service took place
around the graves of the departed he
roes, ad this was followed by the prav-
er by the chaplain Of the day, Rev. II.
=. Harmon. Mr.. J. G. Spencer, adiu-
tant of the camp, then introduced
Judge Richard F. Reed Of Natchez.
who delivered most touching address
The Judge departed from the usual
course pursued on occasions Of this
kind; he did not rehash the history of
the war, but simply urged the perpet-
uation Of these memorial services IN
order to keep alive in the hearts Of the
southern people the cause which men
term "The Lost Cause. He also urg-
ed loyalty to the union, declaring that
there was no lack of loyalty because
we fan the spark of love for the valor
those who fought for us during the
sixties.
However, the speaker did refer to
the battle Of Port Gibson, simply to
show how less than six Thousand men
held at bay the whole army Of Gen.
Grant for q whole day, thereby en-
phasizing the valor of the men who
fought for the south.
Following the exercises at the GEM
atery, the veterans and visitors par
.ook Of refreshments, prepared by the
Daughters Of the Confederacy, on the
avn Of the Misses Person.

Editor Reveille,
1t is in my heart to express in some
measure, my sinsere appreciation of
all the kind things that were said and
done in my behalf, by members of the

recent visit to Port Gibson, and while
attending the delightful exercises of
the reunion and banquet, last Friday.
at the College. Because Of impaired
hearing, have not attended arE pub
lie function for a number of years, but
the invitation te visit once more the
scenes Of nly glrlhood school days
came Ia such pleasant way, and its
acceptance was so much desired by
home folks and friends that / gladly
consented, in order that the Alumnae
Association might be able TO say that
their "oldest living graduate1 was
with them Although unable to enjoy
all the fine things that were snoken
from the platform, ! WAS keenly alive
to the spirit or the occasion. No in
terpreter was needed for the special
courtesies extended to this writer and
very heartily would say "Thank You"
for it all, and especially, for the ex-
quisite cluster of white lilies nresent-
ed by the graduate Of 1921, for the
alumni of our beloved Alma Mater.
1t was wonderful day and my hope
and prayers is that every plan for the
enlarged usefulness of the College NAV

ATTITUDE ON POTATOES


Gloster, Miss, May 2, 1921.
Editor ReveiIle;
/ noticed an article in last weeks
Reveille regarding the marketing Of
potatoes in large quantities being an
unwise policy. This is not my belief
where it is properly done. In my few
hurried remarks u possibly, didn't
make myself clear. AT any rate I
want TO state my position and what /
have been advocating and what / had
IN mind when talking with you last
Tuesday.
The sweet potato is one Of our best
crops for commercial and domestic
uses. For marketing to advantage
when prices are best, it is necessary
to store them in curing houses. Our
experience has been that only disease
free and carefully handled stock, not
injured by cold, will keep successfully.
Also that it is hard, in new territory,
to get this kind Of stock grown gener-
ally. For this reason / have been
slow IN advocating large commercial
houses where the bulk of the stock
had to be bought, unless a great deal
of publicity had been given on grow
ing potatoes for storage, so that the
house could adopt strict inspection
before buying
Potatoes free from black rot, care
fully handled and stored properly have
kept in number of Mississippi houses
this year with very small loss. In
fact l have seen in the past month
carefully handled, disease free stock
side by side with diseased and bruised
stock in curing house. The former
showed loss Of almost nothing, while
the latter had 10 be sorted several
times and showed o heavy loss. ] Know
of individuals in Mississippi who
grow and market SO to 100 acres Of
potatoes. They have curing houses
and produce and handle potatoes so
they will keep. This plan is easy and
surely brings results. It is the basis
on which Mississippi is building her
