W. hen the Russians were finally driven out of Poland they destroyed every buildingand I mean that literally. They took away the flocks and herds and carried two or three million citizens into captivity. Under the treaty of Riga. the treaty of peace between Russia and Poland. those refugees have been returned to Poland. I was at Baralowice. on the border between Poland and Russia. and in the first train load I saw come in the morning I arrived there were 1.200 people. 500 of them children. Those persons had been brought from eastern Siberia. over the Ural Mountains and across the plains of Russia. not in Pullman cars but locked in cattle cars.
