hunger and typhoid. Almost all Of
them began to succumb. Finally the
authorities realized that the new
epidemic might attack the soldiers
too. So they established a kitchen to
provide $50 portions Of food daily.
Among the Christians and soldiers
100 portions were distributed. The
remaining $50 were thrown out every
day. Not n piece OF bread. not a
drop Of hot water was offered to the
hungry Jews. Every day they threw
away quantities Of food and would
not give n crust TO the Jews, who
were dying of hunger.
They kept creating sentiment
AGAINST the Jews and melting each
other more and more. In the mean
time the great blow came which
brought the Russian army nearer to
Warsaw, on the other side OF the
Bzura. The %retreating Russian army
made n pogrom In the city OF
Sachatshev. Only a few hundred
paccs from the spot where the Jewish
relief corps but a few days before had
worked Extraordinarily. calling forth
from all so much admiration and &C.
complishing SO much out OF sheer de-
vot.on. the Russian soldiers were per-
mitted 10 plumber n city where there
were som 1900 Jewish families.
The soldiers broke into the houses
" the Jews. stole their belongings,
ruined their property and beat them
hrutal,y. Ten Jews were hanged be-
cause they were accused Of helping
the Germans. Four Jews were ar
rested because they would not allow
.he plnndsrers To enter their houses.
They were carried of and a day later
their dead bodies were brought hack
and hung up on the doors Of their
houses. where they remained for two
DAYS.
An Old Jew Of 20 told me the fol-
lowing story on the second day after
they brought him TO Warsaw and
freed him:

us until they were themselves ex-

s4,750,000 TO Be Spent
FOR THE FAR MER

The Smith-Lever agricultural ev-
tension act of May S, 1914, provides
for permanent national system of
agricultural extension work to. be
carried on with Federal and State
funds through the State agricultural
colleges in cooperation with the
United States Department of Agri-
culture, by means of instruction and
practical demonstrations in agricul-
ture and home economics to persons
not attending the colleges.
The Smith-Lever Act appropriates
money as follows:
G) $4,000 of Federal funds ann,:-
ally to each of the 48 States.
(2) In addition to the $3.50, 900, the
act appropriates for 1915-16 100000
of Federal Smith-Lever funds. This
sum will be increased annually by
100000 of Federal Smith-Lever
funds until 1923, when the annual
Government appropriation will be set
at $4,580,0O0. The additional appro-
priation is divided among the States
in the proportion that the rural
population of each State bears to the
total rural population of the States.
Any State, however, to share in this
extra Federal Smith-Lever fund must
appropriate and spend in extension
work at least an equal amount of
money from sources within the State.
The money from the States will bring
the joint demonstration fund to
81 $50, 900 in 1856.
In addition to the Smith-Lever
funds, however, the Department Of
Agriculture during 1916 will expend
from its own appropriations for
farmers cooperative demonstration
work and for other direct field in
struction in special subjects over
81 ,025,000. AS the accompanying
table Up. 81 shows, however, the
States will raise from sources within
the State and spend for demonstra-
tion work a total of $2,65O,000. This
will make a grand total of $4,750,000
to be spent in the fiscal year 1915-t6
in bringing practical and helpful in
struction to the farmer and his
family in their own communities.
