AMERICAN CONSULS
 JAILED IN RUSSIA
 RED CROSS REPORTS

STOCKHOLM, Monday, Oct 21- (By the Associated Press) s).-The last of the American Red Cross workers in Russia reached Stockholm today, after a four day trip by train from Petro- grad. The party consists of Major Allen Wardwell, Captain J. w. An drews and Dr. H. Davidson.
 Captain Andrews illness detained the party in Russia after the departure of the other members of the Red Cross, but he is much improved.
 The bolsheviki showed the Red Cross party every courtesy, and President Sverdloff of the Russian Red Cross and many bolshevill officials sought to ob- tain the assistance of the American Red Cross to prevent the wholesale starvation of non- -combatants in Rus sia this winter.
 The Americans looked after the en- tente missions and relieved the con- dition of many unfortunates in Rus sian jails. Major Wardwell and his assistants are especially anxious to have food supplies sent to Russia for prisoners and children who are public wards and are facing starvation.
 U. s. Vice Consuls In Jail.
 United States Vice Consul Leonard who held the post at Astrakhan, and Vice Consul Burri were both in jail at Moscow when the Red Cross party left, but the Norwegian legation had been assured that they would soon be re- leased. These two officials have been prisoners for nearly two months and have undergone great privation.
 Food conditions are rapidly growing worse in Petrograd and Moscow. AL though the bolshevik press says the retirement of the Czechs from the Volga districts will make it possible to obtain grain from that. region. No supplies are reaching the two cities as yet. probably because the peasants or ganizations will not release grain to the soviet government.
 Beg Food For Children.
 NEW YORK. Oct. PA message describing famine conditions in Rus sia as 'appalingly critical. and urging that all possible cooperation be given the Red Cross in supplying food, was received here tonight by the joint cen tenary committee of the Methodist Episcopal church from Dr. George A. Simons. Methodist missionary at Petrograd.
 Send food for Petrograd children via Denmark immediately" read the message. "The moral effect of such work would result in increasing Rus sia's sympathy and esteem for America"
