THE POLISH VICTIMS RELIEF FUND exists for one purpose only: to 
help the Poles, whose sufferings in this war are unimaginably greater than those of 
any other Nation. It distributes among Poles alone the Funds raised in Great 
Britain and the Colonies; it works in collaboration with the admirable Relief 
Committees organised by the Poles themselves. 
It is not at this moment possible to reach the sufferers in devastated Poland, where 
the harvests are trampled into the mud and where rich and poor alike have seen their 
homes in flames ; but the needs of thousands upon thousands of Poles uprooted from 
their native soil and carried into Russia before the retreating armies is so immense 
and terrible that if every hand in Great Britain were to give a penny to-day it 
would not suffice to save them from hunger. 
When the retreating armies of Napoleon came Westward from Moscow, 
their track was marked by the dead bodies of men; the roads of Poland and 
of Lithuania are marked Eastward to-day by another trail — by the corpses of 
children in the ditches. 
We beg you, although you yourselves are poorer than you were, to have pity 
on those who yet live and to help us to save them. All gifts of money or of things 
to sell on behalf of the Poles are gratefully acknowledged by the 
Hon. Sec. : MISS LAURENCE ALMA TADEMA.
