South Carolina stands lowest in the

An interesting piece of news has
just been received at the headquar-

Of $1,000. or its equivalent 1000
Swiss francs at the present rate Of

the War Council to he expended
through the Central Committee Of
the Society of Russian Citizens and
two other societies in Switzerland,
under the supervision Of the A r c.
representative in Switzerland. for the
relief of sick or needy Russians in
Switzerland
Mr. Taylor, the Red Cross repre-
sentative at Eerne. cablcd that the
assistance was desperately needed.
He said that there were probably
some 5000 Russians in Switzerland
many Of them people Of education.
who before the revolution lived there
on incomes received from Russia. Of
these a considerable number were
students and there were also many
women and children.
The revolution has prevented these
people from receiving money in RUS
sia. Their resources in Switzerland
have gradually dwindled until with
many it is a question Of food and
shelter. Until recently the Russian
legation, which belongs TO the ker-
cnsky regime. had given aid TO the
most desperate cases but it is no
longer in a position to do so.
Some of these Russians work in
factories and others in fields. Many.
however, are old and unaCCustomed
to physical labor. At least 20o0 are
utterly destitute. OF these 1000 are i'll
of whom q large proportion have tu-
berculosis.
The Swiss Red Cross would have
helped these Russians but il lacked
funds.
This money is considered a suffi-
cient sum TO relieve the most needy
ses for period of three months.
