cent reports of widespread famine in Rus
STA. and the appeal issued in London for
relief
There is really no cause for alarm" said
he Il am familiar with this appeal for
relief. and while not wishing to question
any charitable or philanthropic movement,
] think it only just to Russia that it should
be known that the distress is confined to
rather small and remote regions and that
Russia herself has COPIED with the situa-
ton thoroughly and successfully. The
country is so vast and the methods of
communication SO primitive In places, that
cases of distress are slow to be reported
and relieved. This may have led to the
existence of considerable suffering and dis
tress. But. far as / can learn, this suf-
fering ia not widespread, but is confined to
some of the provinces in southern Russia.
The Russian government was prompt in
amelior.ting the distress. and the car has
given immense sums-I think l am safe in
saying 5000 900 roubleS. or 81 800 ,0O0-out
of his own private resources to alleviate
the distress. The energetic steps of the
government have largely overcome the
trouble.
During his mission to Russia Mr.. Hitch
cock inaugurated Il policy of diplomatic
intervention, and also used his official in
fiuence to promote the interests of Ameri-
can commerce and industries in Russia,
and the effect of his efforts in that direc
tiCn has already become apparent in q
great increase in our international COM
merciaI relations

large number of persons residing and
owning property on street between 4th
and 1lth streets several weeks ago petit
toned the District Commissioners to re-
quire the Belt Railway Company to aban-
don its tracks on 2 street and use only O
street. The petitioners stated that they
had been informed that the railway COM
pany proposed using but one track be-
tween 4th and 18th streets, either on 2 or
y street; that a storage battery was to be
used, and that the cars We're to run only
between those two streets. shuttle fashion
In requesting the Commissioners to re-
quire the railway company to place it's
tracks only on street, the petitioners
suggested that outside of the 9Th street
corners, y street has scarcely a business
house on it. while O street has Il market
the high school and various business
houses.
The Commissioners have informed the
petitioners, however, that it is not the pur-
pose of the railway company to abandon
its tracks on either z or street. but to
occupy both thoroughfares. with storage

admitting of this plan, the Commissioners

island has shown that Cuba is not only
prospecting, but those who were starving
last year from the effects of the war are
now Independent and need no longer to be
fed by the United States. Going from San
tiago to Gibara, only signs of prosperity
can be noted. In the large fields of cane
and tobacco, men, women and children
were busy at work cultivating the growing
crops. The many homes with straw roofs
which were destroyed during the war were
either rethatched or being put in habit
able condition. Everybody seemed to be
employed, and on the faces of all is a look
of satisfaction and contentment.
practically speaking, Cuba is the richest
island in the world. 1t is not only great in
its natural resources but 1t is greater still
in its boundless prospects for the future
But Cuba needs three things-a strong and
impartial government, such as the United
States can afford; plenty of capital, and mi
grafton to its shores of other people, who
will tmpart vitality and enterprise among
Its people. American capital is fast finding
its way into the island Only a short time
ago New York syndicate bought 10000
acres of land in the province of Santiago
and the Boston Fruit Company bought 16-
900 acres in the same province. Another
large syndicate is trying to buy up all the
tobacco fields and factories on the island
In Havana, Santiago Cienfuegos and in
many other large towns thousands OF dol
lars IN American money have already been
invested.
The Productive Soil.
For the business man and farmer there
is an opening all over the island. Land can
be bought from 81 to S. per acre, and land
so rich that none better can be found in
any part Of the globe. Such fruit as ba-
nanas, cocoanuts pineapples and the like
grows in abundance The soil will also pro-
duce in large quantities all kinds of our
garden Vegetables cabbage, turnips. onions,
tomatoes, watermelons, sweet and Irish DO
tatoes, maize, rice-in fact, anything that
Will grow anywhere will thrive on the
island. Then again for the stockman there
is an opportunity, for the land is most suit
a most abundant water supply The noun
talns contain minerals to a large extent
and the Americans are already working
the IRON mines. One thing greatly needed
10 develop the land is agricultural nipple
ments and other working tools, the old
Fashioned and primitive tools still being IN
use among the natives"
