RUSSIANS SUFFER GREAT HARDSHIPS
 FLEEING FROM WAR

Tokio. February 1.-(Correspondence of the Associated Press) "A report on the condition of the Russian refugees Is given by Thomas w. Whittemore of Bos- ton. who has come to Japan for supplies after long services in directing the work of the American committee for the re- lief of Russian refugees in Russia. The forced migration of the people of Little Russia into the heart of the empire was described by him as one of the greatest movements of people in history. He said that the names of as many 100000 refugees were on the official list and al- though the Russian government Is doing everything humanly possible to anne liorate their condition much remains to be done in the way of food, clothing, medicine and shelter Thousands died in the flight. Barely fed, poorly clothed, masses were carried away by contagious diseases and the rest remained helpless, gathered in barracks and other public places vaguely and bllndly waiting for food and for occupation.

The great need was for some form of organization which will provide them with labor and the means of living and while that economic question is be- ing worked out. food, clothing and medi- cine are necessary. He has come to Japan, he said because the lack of ship ping space from the United States made it practically impossible to get the neces- sary supplies from that country.
 T, myself" said Mir. Whittemore, have seen 1000 people dying from ty- phus. The religious fervor of the Rus sian people is wonderful to behold. Death does not appear to them as terri bic or undesirable. All these wonderful sa crifices of the people. both military and civil, are offered to holy Russia. l have seen aged men and women passing away on their miserable beds and l have seen their friends gathered about the death couch with joy on their faces and happy words on their lips So you are going to die they would exclaim.

 The trees are indeed those of a by gone age. In America and Europe shadowy forms of fossil leaves of strange plant species are gathered from the rock and studied with Inter est; in Australia many of these ancient trees are living. The impression that one is looking at a landscape which has forever disappeared from other parts of the world is so vivid that the elms and naples and oaks in some of the city streets strike jarring note.
