It was estimated that between a million and a quarter and a million and a half of these refugee would return to Poland between June and the coming winter. Interallied Medical Comm, sent by the League of Red Cross Societies to investigate the Typhus situation in Poland found that 2% of these refugees are infected with typhus. The official report of the Comm. states that the present epidemic of typhus in Poland is widespread, with fresh cases being constantly introduced in the East by returning refugees and prisoners of war, and that unless the most active measures are taken to deal effectively with the situation there will be very serious epidemic this winter, which will be a menace not only to Poland but to Western Europe and America. The Polish authorities are doing their best to deal with the situation, but they are seriously handicapped by the lack of soap, disinfectants, drugs, sheets, blankets, clothing, food, hospital equipment and trained personnel

Large factory near Dubno by artillery fire. The area around Dubno, one of the strongest fortressess on the old Russian line of defense, was the Russo-Austrian front for nine months during 1915, and most of the buildings were destroyed and the fields covered with trenches and wire entanglements. The Interallied Medical Commission sent by the League of Red Cross Societies to study the typhus situation in Poland found typhus, relapsing fever and disentry prevalent in this area. The situation is complicated by the over crowding of the inhabitants due to the destruction of a majority of the dwellings. Drugs, clothing and hospital equipment are almost entirely lacking, and outside assistance is needed by the local authorities to deal effectively with the situation
