MILLION STARVING
In NORTH JAPAN.
New York Red Gross Says
$16,O0O,0O0 Will Be Needed
for Relief. a.r

New York. March 23.-The New York
state branch Of the American National
Red Cross has issued a statement as
to famine conditions in Japan. @@.E
''The famine in JAPAN the state
ment says, (which has, been considered
for some time moderately serious, is
now known, as the result of reliable
private advices received by the New
York State Red Cross, to be one Of the
most terrible starvation emergencies Of
modern times. The failure of the rice
crops, which at one time was believed
to be limited to certain classes only
IN the northern provinces, has been
found to be general in those parts Of
Japan and conservative estimates place
the number of starving Japanese at
from 100000 to 100000 persons. For
these, owing to extended rains last
summer which have ruined the rice and
other food crops, there is absolutely no
relief IN sight until next October, when
a new harvest will be available.
AS If this were not bad enough, the
present winter has been one of the most
severe IN Japan in many years. The
sum of $l6,000,OO0 will be required to
save the Japanese country people. This
estimated by allowing for cost Of 10
cents per person per day.
A special meeting of the Japanese
famine committee has been called for
Monday. The committee is now con
sidering whether it is wise to under
take the collection and Transportation
OF food as well as money. Already two
food experts from Japan have been
asked to prepare food list showing
what American shapes can be used.

UNBRIDLED CRIME
RULES IN RUSSIA
Bloodshed and Robbery Keeps
Pace with Government S Re-
pressive Measures.

st. Petersburg, March 23.-Lawless-
ness and crime are keeping pace in
Russia with the repreSsiVe measures of
the government. Columns of the news
papers are filled daily with records of
murders and robberies, and side-by-
side are brief chronicles Of condemna~
tions and military executions of politi-
berries and assassinations are of a po-
litical nature and everywhere the revo-
lutionists are fighting their oppressors
with bombs and revolvers. The record
of single day shows the distracted
state of the country.
At Tamhoff, Riga, Warsaw, Batoum,
Mattua and Chita yesterday military
executions took place, while from a
half a dozen other cities came reports
of death sentences passed by military
courts on political prisoners.
Churches Pillaged.
From Stavrohol and Kuban provinces
in the Caucasus, come reports of the
pillaging Of churches and the theft of
sacred Jewel relies. Near
Samara, province Of Samara, robbers
disguised as rural guards held up Il
rail coach and carried off $4,000 III
booty and at Orenburg, province of
Orenburg, an armed band pluudered
the state distellery and several pharma-
cies. An attempt was made at klotz-
lavsk, Poland, to assassinate the chief
of police, and at Stariittsy, another
place in Poland, a large factory was set
af1re and burned to the ground.
Armed men at Ekaterinoslav, South
Russia, entered the counting room Of o
merchant named Marschak, ordered the
clerks to throw up their hands. and got
off with $1,000.
Bomb Thrown Among Mobiles.
At Smolensk. province of Smolensk,
an internal machine was thrown thru
a window into an assembly of mobiles,
and in Sebastopol. eight masked men
entered a store, bound and gagged the
proprietor and employees and escaped
with the contents Of the till.
The spirit of lawlessness has also
penetrated North, which part of the
country is still snowbound. The peas
ants of the northern Vologda province
on the road to Archangel are driving
off the proprietors. They fought bat
tie near Yarensk with a detachment Of

r. number of dead on the field. On the
other hand, near Bloseisk, in Novgorod
province, the peasants were victorious
