All the wells and streams in the \'olga region have dried up; whole villages are in flight, and “the vast steppes of Russia will be strewn with the bodies of men, women, and children unless the world comes to their aid.” Europe, continues this writer, “may witness a titanic invasion by Russian hordes such as has not occurred since the advance of the Mon- gols across the “tussian steppes.” ¢ hanges in Schedule Improvement in Service EFFECTIVE AUGUST 14 The Poles are naturally alarmed. One well-informed ‘and highly educated Pole told a Chicago Tribune correspondent in Warsaw that “Poland is in mortal danger of another Rus- sian invasion—an invasion by a mass of starving humanity which will sweep over the border like a pack of hungry wolves invading a lonely village in winter,” and the editor of a Polish daily in New York City is not unnaturally moved by the reports of “exhausted, hungry masses, wandering in despair towards an unknown destination, marking their path by the - corpses of their children, of their women‘and old people.” The Kansas City Star calls the famine “the crowning indictment of Bolshevism.” ’ Departures from Washington to important destinations.
