They believe that the malignant devils of | disease will be exorcised in this way. | The Soviet Medical Commissions pass through the towns without be- ing permitted to realize the full ex- tent of the disease, because people | suspect the Soviets of having issued a decree that all those in the sick | barracks shall be tortured to death.

Scores are crushed to death every day in their desperate efforts | to board trains and get away.
