DIE OF FAMINE IN RUSSIA.
Twenty Millions of People Are Starv-
ing to Death in the Southeastern
Provinces.

, London, April 11.-Dr. Kennard,
Friends, who was sent to investigate
the Russian famine, writing from
Samara, in the heart of the famine
district, under date of April 3, ap-
peals to the United States and Great
Britain to promptly send help. He
says:
"There are 20,C00,00O people dis
tributed In the southeastern provinces
OF Russia who without aid cannot live
to see another harvest" In Samara
alone, the commissioner adds, thous'
ands are dying and 10000 are starv-
ing. OF the latter only 372,700 are
getting relief, dole OF one meal in
"a hours.
AS meal is only two pounds OF
bread and bowl of soup, this, accord
ing to the commissioner, means dying
by degrees. Even this meagre. dole
in countless instances is divided
among many mouths. There are only
sufficient funds on hand TO last until
May /, whereas money will be needed
until the end of July, wnen the har-
vest will bring relief. The commits
sioner especially appeals for canned
milk. He says there are 100000
children in Samara province who have
no milk and are forced to eat coarse
bread made of acorns, powdered
wood and cucumbers, resulting in
thousands of deaths and much dis
ease.
In conclusion, the commissioner ap-
peals to the anglo Saxons for S2.5OO,-
900 to gave "20,0O0,0O1 of human be-
ings who are dying lingering deaths
from starvation"

ceived at the state department Fri

Olivares dated at Managua, the Mic.

between Nicaragua and Honduras to
result In an agreement for permanent
peace in Central America was de.
veloped Friday by general discus
sion at the state department. With
that end in view the negotiations
looking to cessation of hostilities
will not go so far as to take up the
subject of permanent peace, but will
leave this broad question to con.
ference to be held in Washington or
the City of Mexico and in which all

The United States and Mexico, ac
cording to the embryonic plans will
occupy the important positions Of

The conflict between two of tho
Central American republics which is
now drawing to close has made it
apparent to all that the present UNI
settled conditions there are hamper
ing the development of the countries.
The various republics not involved in
the war kept free with the greatest
difficulty, and commercial affairs in
all of them were affected. With the
United States and Mexico urging the
placing of the republics on firm
basis so that they might
dwell amicably together and
enjoy an interchange of bust
ness, and with tho lessons taught
by the present war, there is every in
dication that a permanent agreement
may be reached.
