Types of Polish refugees in the refugee camp at Kowel. The Interallied Medical Commission sent by the League of Red Cross Societies to investigate the typhus situation in Poland found that 2% of these refugee are infected with typhus and that relapsing fever and dysentery are also prevalent. Unless adequate delousing and disinfecting stations can be maintained through which these refugees shall pass before penetrating into the interior they will spread typhus and other infectious diseases in a manner that will not only be a menace to Poland but to Western Europe and America. The Polish Ministry of Public Health and the Army Medical Service are dealing with the situation as actively as their meager resources permit, but they are greatly handicapped by the lack of soap, disinfectants, drugs, sheets, blankets, food and trained personnel. The commission has reported that this is a matter of international moment, and it considers that wide spread epidemics will occur this winter unless the most active measures are taken to stamp out typhus in Poland and prevent its spread to Western Europe and America
