An old peasant woman was made, the richest woman in her village by a letter from the war risk ia-i surance bureau of the American government. The incident is told by a. member of the Friends' Re lief mission in Poland, who writes; "We were just driving into the town of Ilrubieszow, In the war ravaged district of Poland, when a peasant woman, clad in rags, and barefooted, came up to the wagon and presented a letter which she could not read. It proved to be from the war risk insurance bureau at Washington, stating that her son had died in the American army, and that his insurance would come to her for 20 years, at the rate of "25 a month. Already there were $900 waiting for her, which would bo sent shortly by. check. , "The woman's face was shad owed, as she heard of her son's death, but it brightened with amazement when she heard of the money. The son had not been heard from for three . years, and his death had been taken for granted. She had other children, 'and they , had all been living in a dugout, with no wood for build ing a house and no implements to farm with, and only a diet of rye and - potatoes. "The $900 in American money makes, at the present rate of ex change, over 1.000.000 Tollslt marks, and would make her the richest woman in the village and probably in the country, "I consulted the postmaster for her, and .he said that when she made her mark upon the check the local banli would pay her the money. Only, of course, no local bank would be able to cash so large a check without first getting the money from Warsaw.
