LET THEM STARvE
Attitude of European Nations
Towards Enemy Captives.
u. s. Turned Down in Efforts to
Aid Stricken People.

Washington, Aug. 12.-The uncom-
promising attitude of European bel
ligerents in the negotiations through
which the United States had hoped to
extend relief work in the war zones
is causing keen disappointment among
officials here. Several new notes on
the subject were today before the state
department, but none of them APP
peared to open any new avenue for
continuation of efforts It'd aid the
starving and homeless of the war
swept areas.
Great Britain and Austria have de-
clared in vigorous terms their unwill-
ingness to recede from the regulations
which have operated to exclude Amer
lean relief supplies from Poland and
Serbia. Turkey, in a note refusing to
permit a neutral commission to under
take to feed and clothe the war suf-
ferers in Syria, apparently has endeav
ored to forestall any further humani-
tartan efforts in that quarter.
Gloomy as the outlook is, officials
have not abandoned hope that a more
humane view may eventually be i'm
pressed upon belligerents.
No European ruler has responded
so far to the personal appeal made by
President Wilson for permission to aid
Poland and these responses may at
least offer announcement for continu-
ing the negotiations. The representa-
tions to Turkey will be renewed by the
United States ambassador probably
next week.

must be withheld.
Mr.. Clyne said:
IAN investigation of the wheat sit

Falls to SIaVs.
That Official Announcement
Made By PetrOgrad.

Petrograd. Aug. 12.-The Galician
city of Stanislau, eighty-one miles
southeast of Lemberg, has been CAP
turned by the Russians.
The victory of the Russians in gain
ing the stronghold of Stanislau is
the greatest that has crowned the
czar's victorious army in the Balkans
since it started its offensive there
month ago
Stanislau is strongly fortified and is
consider a strong strategic point In
that it opens the way for the Russians
to advance on Lemberg and gives
them the advantage of railroads be-
tween the two cities.
The city was taken by Russian
troops under General Letchiisky, after
a spectacular advance of II miles in
four days in which the Austro-Ge err
mans lost heavily in killed, wounded
and prisoners. The Slavs arrived at
the Bistritza river, three miles east of
the city yesterday. An earlier Off
cial statement today reported they
were throwing bridges across the river
to replace those destroyed by the re-
treating enemy.

the government appropriation to the
one-half of the total cost proposed for
the benefit district to be paid by farm
ers under the Hodges law.

will meet the Kansas City road. Road

Ell Paso, Tex, Aug. 12.-Conditions
in Mexico City are bordering on an
archy, because of food shortages, &C
cording to, arrivals from the capital
here today. The refugees, all of whom
were Mexicans, said that rioters had
seized the electric lighting and power
plant outside the city and that as a
result the town had been without
lights or street car service for more
than a week before their departure.
Poems throughout the country are
suffering from hunger, they added.
The situation in Zacatecas was de-
scribed as pitiable. At railway sta
lions in that state, according to the
refugees, men. women and children
beg travellers for scraps of bread or
bits of fruit peel.
