Postwar reconstruction work under
supervision of the Polish government
is rapidly advancing in the Eastern
Provinces of Poland, which suffered from
the different campaigns in the World
War and from the Bolshevist attacks Of

scverly affected by the war have been
quick to aid the people Of the eastern dis
tricts.
From Poznania there were sent from
10000 to 10000 carloads of potatoes,
oats, barley and other seeds, states the
Polish Bureau of Information in the
United States. The government, aside
sruction work. has set aside funds for
the use of repatrates in restocking their
devastated lands.
