Visoko Litovsk (p' Grodno). On May 11th 10 o'clock in the morning a fire broke out from one of the houses and for 2 hours, 130 houses were burnt down and only 7 of them were insured. About 300 families were left with nothing and their condition is horrible. Now the eyes of these miserable people are lifted towards their merciful brothers to hurry and help them in their misery.
