This mission went Into Poland sev

the Polish drey Bumnrltan unit which
had been trained fur reconstruction
and social work In their native land
might best be used to advantage.
Miss Downs tells of a trip Into the
department of ' the Bast . territory
that la being taken from the bolshe
vik!: "It is Just impossible for me to
give you any Idea of the utter lack
of food, houses, clothes, medical aid,
hospitals everything," she writes. "I
saw many sick, hungry, uncared for
children that were too weak to eat or
cry. I saw many children In all sorts
of conditions and only heard six cry
ing. It sounds unbelievable.
"Men, women, children, horses and
cows, If a family Is lucky enough to
have them, are all living together In
dugouts, In box cars, in open wagons,
along the roads In the open with no
covering or shelter from the heavy
rains, flefugee camps have, at best,
only a bare wooden plutform for each
fumlly. All these camps are filled
with typhus, amullpox and cholera
cONes. '
"In one hospital sixty-six cases of
dysentery broke out within two days.
Men, women and children were all
lying on the floor In small airless
rooms with only one dirty blanket. At
Iho same cump wo fotid a -ward filled

uore more than one garment. None
of them had shoes or stockings.

the other evening and with great dif

dinarily discuss. In the end 1 was
swamped with requests for classes In
English and stenography.
"The advance unit of Polish Grey
Samaritans arrives In Warsaw tomor

We have had difficulty In arranging
