Berlin, April 2.
"Minsk has become a city or plague
and death and next summer il is certain
TO be hell hole OF disease" declared
Cornell Hewson of Chicago, worker for
the Quaker Relief Committee. In Janu-
airy. out of population of 100000 no
less than $4,000 had typhus, and Hew-
son himself was stricken. While the
typhus is now waning" said Hewson.
there is certain to be an epidemic Of
cholera in the summer"
Minsk Is the doorway for the Ruthe-
mans and Poles who are trying to get
home to the villages from which they
were driven during the war. The move
ment of refugees has the dimensions of
some Of the historic migrations, and al
ready more than 100000 have wan
dered from the Volga and crossed the
Polish frontier.
part of this migration was organl
lied by the Polish and Russian Govern
ments, and while the provisions for it
were primitive they assured the travel
crs some protection. An amazing de-
gree OF distress. however, has been the
lot of those undertaking the journey
without official protection. Tens OF
thousands OF Ruthenans and Poles have
reached the border without passports.
and are waiting without money, food or
lodging TO cross the frontier Many
have gone into the forest surrounding
Minsk and have been living this winter
In holes in the ground and in tree trunks.
Minsk has several houses filed With
ndnna6 NIB ~ a
in rooms without beds or supplies AS
many as forty refugees can be found
sleeping on the floor of a single unfur-
nished room. Many of them are stricken
with typhus and there is no protection
Tor the others against infection.
Two so-called emergency hospitals
were opened this winter In Ninsk, but
they are without beds, bedding washing
facilities or medicines. These "hospi-
tals' consist chiefly OF floor space. where
typhus patients lie about Ia filthy cloth
ing.
Mr.. Hewson, who has been working
In the district with his wife, will return,
but Mrs. Hewson will go on to America
Mr.. Hewson said that rs per cent. of
the relief workers had beer, stricken
with typhus and also more than 40 per
cent. OF the railroad workers, so that
lief supplies has been Irregular.
One OF the tragic hours of the Quaker
relief work came last winter. Mr. Hew-
son said, when a feeding station where
thousands of children obtained food was
destroyed by fire.
Advices from Geneva state that the
offer by the League of Nations to give
Russia medical relief has been rejected
by the Soviets. Moscow's answer de-
clared that the medical supplies fur
nlshed by the league which were already
on the way to Russia would not be per-
United to cross the border unless distri-
button was to be In charge of the Quak-
ers of America.
Eight carloads OF medicines are await
