He painted a vivid picture of this | half-starved people, clad in rags, who are now creeping back toward their devastated homes after months of refugee wandering,! and dying of il starvation and typhus along the roads, as they go. ~. "Outside starvation, numerous dis- eases, at uted to malnutrition and il | typhus have killed men and women and children like files," he said. "I remember a family trying to live un- der an over-turned waggon by the ii roadside. The mother was dead un- der a tree a few yards away--she had been dead for days. The father was stretched upon the ground dying of typhus. He died that day. .Undgr the waggon were two little childreff, both under five, sick with typhus. An old- {er child sat stupidly beside them---a | girl driven out of her mind." Many of the people are driven to making "bread" out of leaves uni bark, and '"'soup'™ out of grass and water, Lieutenant Wright reported. There was unspeakable joy among them when the American ships, load- ed with relief supplies purchased with the funds raized by the Amer- {ican Jewish Relief Committee and {other American Jewish agencies, and | American and Canadian Red Cross {supplies were unloaded at Dansig and | other ports. In spite of the fact that: i the American Jewish Relief agencies are spending almost $2,000,000 a month now on their relief work in | Poland, and that the Red Cross is | doing its work on so vast a scale, {hundreds of Shousands of Jews and | Poles will die during the winter un- {less more aid comes. i "Every box-car full of refugees re- turning to their homes has in it those who die along the way, and those who {have contracted typhus," Lieutenant {Wright sald. "The people try to {avoid disease by keeping cléan, but !it is impossible to do so, under exist- |ing conditions. Even our nurses and {doctors fall ill of typhus, a disease {caused by filth and lice." ; | The Red Cross and the American {Jewish Relief agencies are doing their |utmost to keep both the Jews and the | Gentiles i these stricken lands alive. Six million Jews in eastern Europe {face death unless immediate ship- {ments of food, clothing, and bedding {from Canada and the United States ireach them before the cold weather | sets in. i An appeal for funds is to be made {in Ontario and a generous response from this district is confidently ex» | pected. | i 'MOBS OF CHILDREN | CRAVING FOR BREAD Gaze Into Bakeshop Win- dows for Hours at a Time, Hoping for Something to Eat. "The saddest thing in all Eastern Europe at the present moment-- worse than all the other instances of starvation and even of death and dis- ease on every hand--are the child- mobs one sees outside of the few bak- | eries that are able to keep going in | Warsaw," Sholom Asch, the famous | Yiddish playwright and poet report- 'ed to the American Jewish Relief Committee upon his return from Eastern Europe, where he went as a commissioner of the Joint Distri- bution Committee of American Funds for Jewish Sufferers from the War. "In the bakery windows are i few loaves of bread, and sometimes cakes, that are sold at a simply. prohibitive psice," he explained, "and even if these were as cheap as in Canada and | the United States, thei taste would | still be unknown to the hungry Jew- | ish children, who live on the cup of 'soup & day they get from American Jewish relief agencies. - But the | youngsters tantalize themselves with ¥the sight of food, when they cannot get the taste of it. "They press up to the window, and | at first merely stare respectfully at ! the bread, olka with little crew of fo» gaunt small folks with old faces and suffering unchildish eyes. Perhaps it is raining, or the wind is blowing coldly through the tatters that they wear, that little barefoot army, but they huddle together for warmth, and do not stir.
