RUSSIAN Famine
IS WORST KNOWN
MOST APPALLING PICTURE is
DRAWN BY DR.. KENNARD.
FRIENDS MISSIONARY THERE
Twenty Millions Of People Face Death
BY Starvation-Have Sold Their
Crops, Labor and
Themselves.

London, April Writing from the
Russian famine district, DR.. Kennard,
who was sent by the Society OF
Friends to investigate conditions
among the peasantry, draws an ap.
palling picture of the suffering After
calling attention to the urgent and
immediate need Of funds, he says:
This is the worst famine Russia
has known. No less than 10000, 900
people distributed throughout the
southeastern provinces cannot live,
without aid, to see another harvest,
and may say that this figure has
been approved not only by the
Zemstvo organization but also by the
government, itself. The date of the
harvest will vary with the latitude,
and the famine stricken region is
spread over such wide area eve
times the size of Ffance) that more
than ten degrees of latitude are in
volyed. This means that in direct
proportion from south to north the
harvest will be from July to %
(new style). 1t will be seen that
funds will be needed to the end Of
July to feed all these millions, and
then the harvest will bring relief;
but there are many hundreds of thou
sands to whom the harvest will not
bring relief, for they have neither
land nor cattle.
"The few cows that are in existence
are in such Ipitiful condition them
selves that they are useless for milk
ing purposes. The result is that
babies and young children are being
forced to eat the coarse black bread
and the indigestihle young cucumbers
which are Injuries to the adult Rus
sian peasant to-day but are death to
the baby, or at any rate spell disease.
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 in of young women
and girls forced to sell themselves to
obtain food. For these suffering PEG.
pie to whom the coming harvest
means nothing, relief must be afford
ed during the whole of the coming
year. Meanwhile epidemics of dis
ease add to the terrible conditions

force in Christhs Kingdom and to use
their God-given energies in His ser.
vice, an altar service was held at
which about fifteen seekers were pres,

of the song service Dr. Morrison spoke
from st. Matthew 2T:0, aad was close

the disgrace Of Judas after ne had
betrayed his Lord and he was charac.
terized as being selfish,--a lover OF
money more than he loved his God
a martyred criminal, and a lost man
beyond hope of redemption. Even
Christ gave testimony regarding him

IOWA BANK CASE.
The State Cannot coheet Tax On
Government Bonds.

Washington, d. O., April 22.-The
Iowa State Bank case was finally de-
termined today by the U. 8. Supreme
Court deciding that the refusal of the
Iowa taxing authorities to deduct from
the assessment of the bank the
amount of Government bonds owned
by them as unjust and improper. The
court emphasized the point that gov
eminent bonds cannot be taxed. Thus
the decision of the state court is re-
versed. .
