AFTER CONSTANTlNOPLE

London, May 19-Prof. Paul Mill

democrat party in the duma, who is
recognized us one of the great think
crs of Russia, who is now here with

that Russia fully expects to capture

"What, then, will Great Britain get

important thing will be the territory
of Mesopotamia, connecting Egypt
with Asia, and forming bulwark
against future German attempts to-
link Berlin with 'Bagdad. Besides,
she will get many new colonial pos
cessions.
In closing, Prof. Milikuoff told me

EGETTING A TASTE
OF FAMINE.

All THE facts IN connection with THE
silent suffering of the aosntral powers
LOT Europe during the blockade Of Those
countries iby The allies will never be
fully known TO che world, but that
there is suffering is known from the
lstories which manage to filter through
the censorship. Austria is said to
Ebe in bad plight. According to dis
patches, conditions in the land OF
Francis Joseph are more distressing
than those in the Kaiser's realms.
1T is an ancient saying, that what
we do to others, others will do to
us, and although the mills of the gods
grind slowly, they grind exceeding
fire.
The famine in Paris during the pro
gress of the Franco-German war II
| 1370-l871 had almost been forgot
ten until Germany sent up her cry
of woe over the pinch that country is
now feeling in consequence of the
blockade Of her ports. The kaiser
has attempted to.'enlist the sympathy
tof this country by suggesting that
the United States urge England tc
relax her Gordon of steel. Great Brit
Lain has announced that there will be:
no -let-up in the embargo, and there
is no Indication that conditions in
Germany and Austria will change for
the better.
In 1870 when the Franco German
war was precipitad the average weekly
death rate in Paris was below 800 :!
During the last week of the siege
that is, during the fourth week oil
january, 1871 the number of deaths
in the civilian population rose to near-t
ly 5000. This means that more thar!
1000 people in one week died, if not!
actually from starvation, at least be-
cause, weakened as they were by in
sufficient nourishment, they had be-:
come unable to withstand the on
slaught of disease.
1t is next to impossible today tc,
find in France any person that was
born in Paris during that siege
that is, between September II, 1916 \
and January 81, 1871-simply because
the poor little beings born there dur
ing that period came to life so weak
and received such poor sustenanceil
that nearly every one of them dice
in infancy.
At the beginning of November
1870 there occurred lull in the fight
ing. The neutral powers in Europe
had secured Gcrmany's consent to ar
armistice as a preliminary to the
opening of negotiations for peace.
The French Government thereupon
put forward a very moderate anc
request, that while the
lrmistice lasted small amount Of
food should be allowed daily to en-,
ter the besieged city, so that if ne
gotiations failed it should not find it.

time of their inception. This was fiat
