CHILDREN IN
RUSSIA STARVE
FOOD SITUATION is VERY BAD
DISTRIBUTED IN THREE
CATEGoRiES.
a Full sS p to Heavy Workers,
Half PortioHt Employees OF Soviet
Government and Those Engaged In
Light Work.

Western Newspaper Union News Service.
Washington.-Addi light on the
situation in the portions of Russia
under BOlshevik control is given by u
summary of reports from refugees
who passed through Helslngfors on
their way from Moscow To Stockholm.
The summary was made public by the
State Department because of the va
rious conflicting accounts of condl-
lions which have been received re-
Gently. "The party at Helslngors,"
said the summary, "was composed of
French, British. Belgian and Italian
citizens, most of them Red Cross work
ers. The reports all agree as to the
excessive cost of all necessarles and
the scarcity OF food Dog meat Is
quoted at 4 rubles ($2) pound, horse
meat at 10 rubles per pound, pork at
60 rubles, and bread Mt - rubles.
The country practically is stripped
OF all manufactured articles, especial
~ wearing apparel, and MI grain and
supplies are requlsitioned by the So
Wet Government from peasants, who
receive nothing In return.
"Typhus Is reported To be spreading,
1000 new cases being reported ut Mos
COW weekly, and the hospitals are un'
able to take care of them. Lack of
milk has resulted IN many deaths OF
children from starvation. The food
situation In Russia IL very bad and the
food Is distributed In three catcgories
IA full portion To those doing heavy
work, n half portion To employees OF
the Soviet Government and private
houses and general Office work
and one fourth portion TO people not
engaged In any occupation. The por-
lions depend on the supplies ut hand,
full portion generally being one
pound of bread daily. Soldiers get an
army portion OF two pounds OF bread,
half pound Of meat daily, and an addl-
tlonal monthly allowance OF two and
one half pounds of sugar and one and
one half pound fats. All clothes and
other necessarles only can be obtained
through permission of Government by
cards and ut fixed prices.
"Thc rumor as to the naturalization
of women Is not true, although such
decree had been issued by the Commits
ear OF Sarntov. but was Immediately
Cancelled by the Soviet Government and
the Commissar promptly dismissed. II
Is not known that any serious con-
fIcts exist between Trotzky and Le-
nine. The Bolshevlk power IL main
tnned by force of arms and terror as
well as by an elaborate system Of spy
ing Most OF the factories have been
Obliged 10 shut down, and those that
stIll are running do not produce one
third of the normal output"

The Emerald In History.

The emerald has been known since
early times both In Europe md in GER
tain parts of the orient, where Its at
tractive color and rarity have endowed
It with the highest rank and a varied
lore. Its npme may be traced back to
an old WORT which appeared in Greek
rs smarnrdos. mentioned by The
ophrastus over 300 years before the
Christian era. and again In Latin as
smaragdus, seen in the writings Of
Pliny. who particularized somewhat
on Its properties and supposed medical
virtues, and was even shrewd enough
to suspect its identity with the much
more com non beryl. although Is GEN.
turtles elapsed Before this suspicion
was confirmed by scientific proof.

PLANS NEARLY COMPLETE
FOR OVER-OCEAN FLIGHT
. Aviators Experimenting With De-
vices Deemed Essential and At
tending to Other Details.

Preparations for the Transatlantic
eirplane flight are nearing compile
tion. Flame and smoke flares. devel-
oped during the war, are to be used
by the aviators to tell the strength of
the wind and the amount of drift Off
the course. These flares will be in
the shape of small bombs and on
striking the water will ignite into
fame, at the same time giving off an
intense smoke. In this way the
course day and night can be studied
ard corrected. as the flame will be Wis
ible at a high altitude at night and
the smoke in the daytime.
Some idea of the nicely of detail
that has to be worked out before a
fight of this kind can be undertaken
can be drived from the fact that spe-
cal and sometimes experimental de-
vice; have to be perfected for each
particular contingency, and this in
sore degree explains the long delay in
arranging the start.
Chcers announced today that no date
had neen set for the start of the flight
from Roc6away Beach to Newfound-
= nd. The destroyer Barney, which has
A.en seeking a suitable starting place
