San Antonio, Texas, Aug. 25 Re-
nOrts TODAY from /aData county con-
firm the news that the poorer classes
there are facing starvation. They must
have immediate relief in the way OF food
or the results will be terrible. Crops

that is sent to the farmers in the famine
stricken place must be hauled from La

Hicks OF this city has started a relief
fund and has already sent small sum
of money to Laredo to be used in buy
ing food for the sufferers. Relief work
will be continued here. Nothing has
been heard here from the war depart
ment in answer to a request for rations
