 "Iu regard to food supply, Finland ;s worse of than any of the European states whose suferings have been brought before. the American people. For months past, ou people have been atng bread made cut of flour mixed with pine-bark and lichens; but even with this eXpedient we cannot hold out, as the flour reserve virtually is exhausted, and even our hardy popu- lation cannot eat unmixed bark"
