The United States Red Cross is sending its Berlin representatives to Cracow, following German permission to supervise American-sponsored relief of Polish civilians. United States donations amount to 400,000 dollars since the occupation. The German En;bassy announced that the president of the German Red Cross, the Duke of Saxe-Cobur<j, was en route to the United States and would land in San Francisco in March.
Reports from Cernaut:, Rumania, state that the inhabitants of the Ukrainian quarter of Lwow, the Sovietoccupied city in Southern Poland, manned the streets with machine-guns when Soviet troops raided the houses seeking the origin of a campaign operating throughout Galicia against the Soviet.
Several civil officials and eight officers were shot. The military authorities thereupon threatened to bombard the Ukrainian quarter if the leaders of the campaign did not surrender within four hours.
A number surrendered, but it is believed they are not the leaders. The police discovered thousands of anti-Soviet leaflets in various towns.
