TEN MILLIONS ARE STARVING IN PW And Three-Fourths of Villages Destroyed, Says Report o' Poliah Relief Society. London, May 4.-"Ten millions of persons In Poland are facing starva tion and three-fourth or the villages and towns have been destroyed." ls thc report made to thc Polish Relief society, organized in Lon ion under the leadership of Mtss Laurence Alma Tadcma. tho novelist, daughter ot the celebrated En&'Jsh painter, through agents who have recently returned from Poland. Miss Tadema and her associates in the relief mov< neut have taken of fices in London ind issued an appeal for funds to relieve the Polish war bufferers. Plans for thc administration of tho relief have not been perfected. There ls already a central citizens' commit tee organized in Warsaw under tho leadership of Prince Czelwertynski, but it has not yet been decided wheth er the English relief workers will avail themselves of this organization or effect their own relief committee In Poland to cooperate with the movements now in existence there to allay buttering among non-combat ants. And yet there arc no reports-avail able In London which show the ac tual proportion o? the farming dis tricts of Poland laid waste by the armies, but tho rough estimates af forded by travelers returning from Warsaw convince members of thc re lief society that agricultural districts have probably suffered as. badly as the cities and towns. Miss Tadema has lived many yeaiB in Poland, where much of her literary work was done, and is an ardent ad vocate of Polish independence. She recently issued a book on this BI?I ject, setting forth all diplomatic com munications ;ifleeting Poland, espec ially thc Russian promise of Polish integrity. Padercwski is tho personal friend and associate'of MISB Tadema in the Polish relict ' movement, having as Histcd in launching the English cam paign-before he left for America to present ther needs or Poland to thc United States. Because pf the great "difficulty In commue ?eating with Poland at this time, money contributions are espec ially needed, so that neutral agents may be sent to Poland to provide necessities whero they cnn bo pur chased. Freight shipments will be AtterarUcd through Russia when the organization, ls perfected In Poland. A commission will probably bc creat ed somewhat Uko the American com mittee for thc relief of Belgium, which'has done such effective work In feeding Belgians.
