CHICAGO Feb. ga Montreal special Says
"The most distressing intelligence continues to
be received from Gaspe regarding the starving

people are literally on the verge OF starvation.
The Dominion government has been petitioned
to come to the assistance of these people, and Is
in quandary as there seems to be NO hope of
the firms resuming business. A communication
has been received by the mayor here from the
rectors Of New Carlisle and Paspebiac, asking
for aid and intimating that tho system pursued
