Staff Special.
WARSAW, Poland, April 20 Much has heen written about the work
for the wounded done by the women of France, Kngland, flermany and of
Ruxala.
Hut llttlo has heen told of the great work and sacrifices made by
tho women nt, Poland ahaut the women who have hdned care for tho
thousands upon thousands of Russian and Hermans vvouiulcd In the
horrible struggle on Polish plains.
Then let me tell jou about these women for I havo been among
them and have talked with them. These women of a rare that has
known nothing hut suffering at tho hands of tho Russians nud who
now staunch their blood and ease their pains,
Mnie. La Prlncesso Woronlecka, president of tho Polish Red Cross,
stepped from her high powered motor car, Russia's cross for couragn on
her khaki coat.
Among the heroic women of Poland she nlono has been decorated by
tho crar for service In the field.
"Let us go to tho Oaro (railway station) at onre. The rortress
of Ossavicts holds out. The enemy has been repulsed at heavy cost.
Three Red Cross rtalns 3000 stricken men reach Warsaw tonight.
Thoy must find us ready."
"It seems strange to find Poles nursing Russians," I sold to her.
The princess" smllo grew whimsical. True," she admitted, "Poland
has suffered from Rupsla all that Ireland suffered from Hngland. llelglum
from Germany. But on the day war was declared wo organized for re.
lief work.
"It was tho first time Polish women had Russia's permlxslon to form
a club. Within a week scores of us wero busy nursing tho wounded brought
to our homes from the battlefields on our estates.
''since September 0000 Polish women have nursed In Red Cross hos
pitals eight hours of every day."
("Do they nurse Germans and Rimlans as well as Polos?"
Pity looked from her eyes.
"Red Cross trains bring us neither Germans, nor Rusilnni, nor Poles
only wounded men," answered tho princess.
In the huge railway station, now white as fresh paint could make
It, no physicians In white gowns and ' spurred heels were busy laying ou
surgical instruments In the sheds arranged for the wounded.
"We can anticipate what Is before us," said Dr. Kdward Tymlcnlekl.
chief surgeon of N'jazdow military hospital. "On the Yllna gate are two
prophetic statements. Facing Russia the Inscription reads: "'1812, Na
poleon Bonaparte passed this way with 14,000 men. Pacing Prussia Is
the grim sontence: 'Napoleon llonaparto returned this way with 9000
men!'
"It Is not tho war but the Jcreltrles practiced on the battlefield that
appall us. Who Is responsible for.sucti scientific savagery. And tho vic
tims aro not professional fighters but conscripts that Is farmer work
men. Mutilate tho fingers of one hand and the self-respecting man Is a
beggar. What will become of theso thousands In days of peace?"
The physician turns to advise the girl nurses working about the ster
ilizers. Silent, absorbed, without suggestion of coquetry or hysteria the
slender, white-clad figures pass among tho 1000 cots distributing linen
garments.
On the hugo train platform huge cauldrons of soup steam appotlz
Ing odors and little tads in belted frocks gravely arrange" food on t res tied
tables.
Then roaring out of the dark comes the hospital train. Gently, very
gently, Russian brakemen bring it to a standstill. Traveling without doc
iofB or Biicnuams wounueu men uavo lain ior nays on uioou-siaincu nay
while the Irony of war carried thorn to the care of their ancient enemies, j Jt,
.miiic. ta lomiessc uc uispin?, inc aisicr iieicnc, uoiovco oy lu.nuo 1 4
wounded, goes down the cars lantern In hand. At her signalling stretch-,
cr bearers carry away a soldier In collapse ten men wh owear tho red
badeg of danger five cholera cases two dozen d)lng of dysentry 20
typhoid patients three with smallpox.
Then came the nurses, silent, capable, to bandago wounds and Inscrlbo
the nature of thy hurt. Nothing Is left to chance.
"Sister, I am ashamed to be near you, I havo not washed for five
weeks."
"No matter. You will bo your old self this time tomorrow."
"Way. way for the wounded!"
The young princess Turnanow, her faco pearl whlu, slips to the door
of the shed for a breath of air. On the cot she left a wounded officer, his
brow neatly drilled by a small bullet,
"Tho back of his bead Is gone," gasps the llttlo princess, .her bliio eyes
dark with horror. "Thoy are using dumdums again."
Mme, la Princess Lublnaka, actlvo as a girl, though 05, assigns her
attentive assistants.
"Those three wearing helmets of bandages wero wounded by an air
bomb," explains tho princess. "Their Injuries seem slight but they havo
forgotten who they aro,"
Then too Warsaw Is filled with reguees. Men, women and children
driven from their homes In the country places of Poland by tho avalanche
of tho struggling armies. They aro destitute and must be given food
and medical attention. And the womon of Poland's aristocracy aro
caring for them.
Koqd and medical depots have bee nopencd. Walk the streets of tho
Polish capital and In the morning and evening you will seo pitiful groups
of women and llttlo children huddled In long lines waiting to be given
bread and hot soup.
A princess In khaki ministers to a tiny waif In tatters.
