Bolshevik prisoners in a Polish prison camp at Kowel. Most of the typhus infection in Poland comes from Russia and new cases are constantly being introduced by prisoners of war. These prisoners of war are given the same medical attention as the Polsih soldiers, and the army medical authorities are endeavoring to check the infection, although they are terribly handicapped by the lack of soap, medicines, disinfectants, and the most essential hospital equipment
