Nett' York.—There are 60,000 Jew- ish war orphans in Poland existing on pickings from the streets, constitut- ing an orphan problem, the link of which has not before been seen, ac- cording to Dr. Boris D. Bogen, who has just returned from Poland, where he spent four months as chief of the Joint Distribution Committee for American Funds for Jewish War Suf- ferers. l'revious to his last visit to Poland he spent nine months there engaged in the same work. All told he estimated the number of Polish Jews orphaned as a result of the war al about 100,000. Dr. Bogen said that the various ad- vances of the Polish armies on the frontiers are not always regarded with unanimous approval. The prose- cution of the war is exerting such heavy drains upon the financial and man-power resources of the new country that vitally necessary recon- structive measures at home are being overlooked.
