ALICE GERMANS
.STARvE RUSSIANS
Relief Workers Declare
Hungry War Prisoners
Eat Even Garbage.

Boston, Aug. 27.-Stores of suffer
ing and illness among Russian prison
ers Of war in German detention camps,
said to be due to lack of sufficient food,
were told by C. Oberoutchef, secretary
Of the central committee organized in
Switzerland for the relief of Russian
prisoners, in statement given out
here to-day through Alice Blackwell,
editor of "The Woman's Magazine"
Information as TO the condition of
the Russians came first through dele
gates TO the international Red Cross
Commission who had visited the prison
camps, and later was verified by per-
sonal talks with former prisoners, ac-
cording to Mr.. 0beroutcheff.
THE daily ration of the prisoners is
very scanty," he said. "ln the morning
they are given coffee. without milk or
sugar, and 200 grams of potato bread
to last them the entire day. At noon
they receive 4 small quantity of soup.
some vegetables and sometimes, but
not often, piece of meat. Supper is
much the same. II is clear the prison
ers must 60 hungry.
"The English, French and Belgian
prisoners often receive supplies of food
from their governments, relief soci-
cites or relatives and friends, but it is
not so with the Russians. For in
stance, in one camp each of the French
prisoners got two l2-pound packages
every week, while Russian prisoners
got only one package apiece in two
months and half. Russian prisoners
often beg help, not only of their own
richer countrymen, but of prisoners of
other nationalities. Many of these
would be glad to give it, but it is for
hidden.
"The hungry Russians, however, take
their soup plates to the French and beg
for their leavings and get them.
Driven TO desperation, they sometimes
even search the garbage and devour
everything they find there that can
possibly be eaten. We have heard of
this from English and French prison
ers who saw it, and | have been told
Of il By Russians who have actually
been obliged to do it."
OF 1000 or more prison camps IN
Germany and Austria, only about 100
are receiving nelp from relief commit
tees, M. Oberoutchef declares.

.GUARDSMEN DROP
ON BORDER HIKE
18th and list Regiments
Suffer for Food and
Water.
rBy Telegraph 10 Tho Tribunal

McAllen, Tex, Aug. 27.-The l4th
Regiment, under Colonel John II.
Foote, got back to-day from its eleven
day hike and proceeded to its camp at
Mission, making an eighteen-mile
march for the day. The men Jagged
to a certain extent as they came into
McAllen, and looked as il the march
from Edinburg, twelve miles away, had
told severely on them. The worst Of
their experience was on the march yes
terday from Sterling's Ranch to Edin-
burg. thirteen-mile hike, which was
made in one stretch, while the list,
which reached camp on Thursday, made
it in easy stages, with four-hour rest.
The fist Regiment had its worst ex-
perience going from Sterling's Ranch
to Laguna SEGA and back, when ap.
proximately 200 men dropped by the
roadside, overcome By the heat and lack
of food and water The fist pioneered
the way and had TO cut out portions Of
the roads through thickets OF mesquite
and cactus. It's water wagon failed TO
reach the regiment and the food wagons
did not get into Laguna SEGA until IL
O'Clock at night. The men were with
out food from o'clock in the morn
ing until that time. But all had recoy-
cred fairly well when they marched TO
Edinburg, and they came back TO Me-
Allen singing. Weather and water con-
ditions compelled cutting out two legs
of their march La Gloria and Young's
Ranch.
The l4th took in the entire hike. But
all day yesterday the regiment WAS
without food and short of water. The
wagons had not caught up with them
when they reached this camp. The men
Hoped and one company sat down in
the road. unwilling TO proceed. The
men threw themselves prone on the
ground and Tapped up the dirty water OF
the mud puddles as the list had done
and filled their cahteens until stopped
by their officers.
The soldiers "rustled" for food as
best they could in Edinburg, but many
turned IN under their shelter tents last
night hungry. The condition was not
improved this morning. Coffee and
what could be garnered in the little
town offered little sustenance 70 them.
They were hungry and tired and there
were several stragglers along the road
from Edinburg. But they went into
camp singing.

ace of the Republic of Venice, the Pal
lazo di Venezia, concerning which there
has been a long popular agitation, has

Weather RetardS Allies
Advance Along Whole
Western Front.
GERMANS EXPECTED
TO SHORTEN LINES
Present Lull Likely To Be
Followed Soon by Years
Greatest Battles.
BY ARTHUR s. DRAPER.

London. Aug. 27.-The Allied advance
has been retarded for the moment prsc-
tieally al along the line. Official re-
ports from the Allied capitals to-day
show only trifinS advances on the
Somme or near Verdun, while Berlin
declares that heavy attacks have been
repulsed. Bad weather has set in all
along the Western front, and evidently
activity is small on both sides.
But it is clear that the pressure has
not been in the least relaxed, and it is
safe to predict that the years greatest
battles will come in September and Oc-
tober, before the weather shuts down
on movements on the present gigantic
scale.
For nearly three months now the
Central Powers have been fighting al
most entirely on the defensive The
Russians, English. French and Italians
in turn have taken the initiative, with
results that are highly satisfactory
considering the Allied campaign as a
whole.
No Break in Teuton Power.
Il is conceded that no break in the
Teuton power has yet appeared-the
Allies steady, though slow, forward
movement must be interpreted as due
not 10 the weakening of the enemy, but
10 the growth of the military power OF
the Allies in guns, ammunition and
men.
From the British point of view the
situation on the Somme is eminently
80 . =
that they have the guns and the men
not only to advance, but-what is
equally important-to withstand the
counter attacks of the Kaiser's finest
troops and the pounding of his most
powerful guns.
The British will not be hurried. They
are satisfied to let the artillery pave
the way-which is impossible in present
weather conditions-before the infan-
try is called upon to move out of its
trenches and shelters. However, the
present week may see a swift change in
the positions around Thiepval and
Guillemont.
May Shorten Line.
II would be no surprise to the mill
tary observers here if the German High
Command decided to shorten the pres
ent line, abandoning those villages, and
falling back TO positions they have been
preparing, which can be held with fewer
men.
The French positions on the Somme
are also considered good. They have
bright prospects for their next blow.
A very little further progress will Sc
cure Combles; a little more, Peronne
Moreover, the pressure on Verdun has
rot only been relieved, but the French
have been able to take the initiative
there, with excellent results.
To-day's communicates record no i'm
portant action, aside from the lombard
ment, and even that has been checked
by the impossibility of making good
observations in the bad weather. The
lull after the fierce fighting of last
week seems almost complete. The
British have taken 200 yards of a Ger
man trench in the vicinity Of Bazentin-
le-Petit and have made slight advance
northwest of Ginchy. The French re-
port nothing but the defeat Of several
German charges at scattered points
along their whole front. These were
apparently "feelers" rather than move
ments in force.

KATMAI CRATER MILES ACROSS;
 TOP BLOWN OFF
Volcano in Alaska Has the Others of World Put into Shade As One
 of the Wonders.

KODIAK, Aug. 21.-"The main era ter of Katmai volcano is one of the greatest in the world" said Robert F. Griggs. who reached Kodiak to- day after careful study Of the great volcano in the interests of thG American Geographic Society. This crater is miles across and extends down thousands of feet to blue green lake, simmerlng and sputter- ing at the bottom"
 This is the first close examination by scientists that has been made of this volcano since the great erup- ton of June, 1912, when the top of the mountain was blown off and Ko- d!ak Island, across Shelikoff Straits, was covered with foot Of volcanic ashes.
 Tine natives claim that the top Of the high mountain was blown off. Mir. Griggs said that he found to be literally true. Tho walls of the crater were such that his party could stand on the rim and see sul- pmr patches and steam jets hissing through creyasses.
 Reyegetation is beginning on the lower slopes of the mountain and the surrounding mainland after the almost total destruction of all veget. able life in the great eruption Of 1912.
 Mr. Griggs was enthusiastic over thc possibilities of scientific study of volcanoes afforded by Kalmai. He said no such opportunity for scien- unc research was to be found else where in the world.
