a motion for a new trial. If this mo-

Very Lives--Funds Needed
Immediately.

London, April 19--Writing from the
Russian famine districts, DR.. ken
nard, who was sent by the Society OF
Friends to investigate the conditions
among the peasantry, draws an appall'
ing picture of suffering. After calling
attention to urgent and immediate
need of frnds he says:
"This is the worst famine Russia
has known. No less than 20,000,000
people distributed through the south
eastern provinces cannot live, without
aid to see another harvest, and | may
say that this figure has been not only
by the Zemstvo organization
but also by the government itself
Funds will be needed to the end Of
July to feed all these millions and
then the harvest will bring relief for
thy have neither land nor cattle.
Girls Sell Selves For Food.
These people have sold their all
and in most cases have likewise sold
in advance all that the harvest might
bring them. They have sold them
selves and their work and from all
over the southeastern provinces re.
ports are coming OF young women and
girls forced to prostitute themselves
to obtain food.
For those suffering people to whom
the coming harvest means nothing,
relief must be afforded during the
whole fthe coming year. Meanwhile
epidemics of disease add to the terri
