Tho special correspondent of the Times in the Polish town of Kaliscz which tho German army destroyed in 1914 because the population refused to submit to German ruJe, is again tho scene of German brutality. Ths largest church has been transformed into a prison and the Gestapo have decreed that Poles and Jews shall receive only half the food rations to which the Germans are entitled.
