FAMINE VICTIMS
DIE IN STREETS
IN ORIENT TOWNS
Mothers Sell Daughters, Poor
Men Sell Wives to Obtain
Crust Of Bread in Per.
sian Cities.

Petrograd, April 2o.-People are
dying OF hunger in the streets Of the
large towns of Persia, notably in
Hamadan and Senne, says dispatch
from Kazvin to the Rostovskaya
Rech.
sThe spectcr OF famine has become
: fearful reality" the correspondent
writes. "To pass through two or
three streets in Hamadan or Senne is
enough to come upon two or three
dead bodies. Here and there may be
groups Of women mourning over
their dead. Here is beggar woman
. mother with two children. One oil

near the mother, on the ground, is
another child, dying. The mother
herself is already motionless, with a
frozen. unintelligent stare. The Per.
SLAMS, seeing that human being is
really dying, shove some bread into
the dying woman's mouth, but the
belated help, Of course. does not save
her life. The poor villagers throne
from the villages to the towns, hop
ing in vain to be fed there.
Even in Kazvin, this more or less
well-to-do town, it has more thar

it was only the presence OF Russian

EARTH BY TANKS
Three German Companies An
initiated in Few Minutes by
British Machines in Fight
ing Near CaChy.
tBy Associated Press.)

With the British Army in France
April 27.-The slaughter caused by the
small British tanks among a concen-
tration OF the enemy near Cachy in
Wednesdays fighting appears to have
been even greater than was originally
reported. A few of these little en-
gines, which are much faster than the
ordinary big tanks, made the assault
so quickly on two or three batalkons
of the enemy's infantry which were
forming for an attack that the Ger
mans were unable to scatter before
they were being fercely deluged with
machine gun bullets.
Ground Beneath Tanks.
Not only that, but large number
of men was caught beneath the tanks
and ground into the earth. Prisoners
estimate that three German companies
were wiped out in a few minutes.
The machines returned in such hor-
rible condition from. the shambles
that they had to be washed down.
One German prisoner had a rough
experience with the small tanks and
lived to tell the story, although he
was much shaken as a result OF his
experience. He became separated
from the unit and was hiding in a
she'll hole near Cachy when a tank
charged directly over the hole. II
was deep enough to protect the Ger
man, but he was so terrified that he
lost consciousness and was just re-
| gaining his senses when the per-
formance was repeated by second
tank. Again he escaped and saved
himself further trials by being cap
| tured.
Germans Now Using Tanks.
| With the French Army in France
April 27.-Infantry fighting on the
battle field of Picardy eased of
Wednesday after bloody encounters
throughout the night. The Germans
now are in possession of both Han
gard -En-Santerre and Villers-Breton.
neaux, to which they are holding
with desperation, but cannot put q
foot outside because of the stern
determination of the allied troops
who are working in the closest CO.
operation.
The artillery Of both sides now is
very active, probably as the pre-.
liminary to renewed infantry en-
counters.
Tanks of both the allies and the
German played an important part in
the course of the fighting in the last
few days. This was the first oc.
casion in history when these instru.
ments of war met each other.
The Germans did not bring many
tanks into action, and up to the pres.
ent it has been impossible to ascer.
tain whether those that were in the
fight were merely repaired British
tanks which fell into the German
hands at Cambria, or copies of them
or whether a new model of German
tanks was employed.

Seizure of Cereals
On Ukrainia Stirs
Peasants to ReUOlt

Washington, April 26-Requisi-
tons made by the Austro-G Germans
in Ukrainia are so severe the peas
ants are revolving and are holding
soldiers as prisoners. Clashes oc-
cur frequently, said a diplomatic
dispatch today, and many persons
have been killed on both sides. The
dispatch, referring to the food sit
uation in Austria. says:
"An official note published by the
Vienna newspapers shows the
gravity of the food difficulties with
which Austria is struggling. This
note states that the stocks supplied
by the Roumanian harvests are en-
tirely exhausted and that wheat
from Ukrainia cannot be counted
upon before the end of the month.
Under these conditions the govern
rnent must seize the cereal reserves
left on the hands of the peasants
for their personal consumption"
