For those with Poles in their trees........ The Evening Herald Klamath Falls, Oregon June 10, 1920 Polish Women Coming To United States New York A transport bringing 800 wives and children of Polish Immigrants in this country is on the way from Danzig to an American port, according to information received here by the Hebrew Sheltering and Immigrant Society. This is the first group of a total of 50,000 families to be brought to America to be reunited with husbands and fathers from whom they have been separated by war for more than six years. The Hebrew society has undertaken to find the wives and children of Polish Immigrants who have been prevented by the war from sending any aid to their families, many of whom have been driven out of their homes in the war zone and have become lost to their kind in this country. "This is not a project of new immigration," said John L. BORNSTEIN, the societies president. "Much harm has been done by the statement that we were inducing Jewish people of Poland to come over. That is not the fact. We have absolutely no concern with any intended immigrants except the wives and children of men already in this country, more than 60 per cent of whom are now American citizens." Mr. Berstein said that the work which the society was carrying on was done with the hearty consent and co-operation of the bureau of immigration and the state department. "We began our work," he said, "by advertising that we would attempt to locate these men's families and help them get to America. Our seven agencies all over the country were immediately flooded with pleas from 50,000 men who, because of the war, had not been able to bring their families over or even communicate with them. In some cases the men had no idea where their loved ones were. "Our task has been to take what information we could get of the last known residences of these wives and children and put our commissioners in Poland on the trail to locate them. When this is done we advise the family head in America how much money it will take to bring his people over and help him through the formalities of proving their right of admittance. When the families actually arrive we will care for them until they can be established in their new homes which are scattered over the United States but generally in cities, not in farms."
