How 1t Seems
To Be Starving

LONDON, April l9.-Appalling in
cidents of the tragedy Of starvation
lin Petrograd are revealed by writer
in the Ruskoje Slovo, newspaper
published at Libau.
rs life at Petrograd really as ter
rible as people and as the newspa-
pers describe it," he asks. at is
difficult for me to answer this ques-
ton; difficult for me to turn to the
exciting and fantastic moods evoked
by hungry, abandoned PetrogrSd.
Educated people beg for aims in
the streets and ahng around public
eating houses gazing piteously into
the eyes of those who eat and waiting
greedily in case any one should leave
some morsel behind.
Children rummage in the refuse
pits and ravenously devour heads of
herrings and all the things despised
even by the hungry Petrograd house
wife, and the things even undiscov-
cred by the lean, enfeebled Petrograd
cats.
II will not tell of the terrible ju-
dicial proceedings where n-yearold
dehumanized boys admit with sullen
cynicism that they deliberately kill
ed a little brother or sister who en-
bittered their lives and devoured all
of the bread rations. All these things
made up the chronicle of daily hap
penings when we still had a press
"How do they live who have not
become wild beasts? They are all
hungry and hunger tortures them all.
But each knows that all the others
are hungry and that is why no one
speaks of his hunger, Human suffer
ing has lost its individuality. Who
will pity me if | nearly die of hunger
when everyone is hungry himself?
Everyone will turn away and say in
surfy- voice: Il, too, am dying
"Men and women cease to com
plain. They drop in the streets
through sheer starvation but you sell
dom hear anyone complain about his
hunger, his own torturing enervating
hunger. They all pretend to be busy
with their wonted affairs as though
they had come to an unspoken agree
ment, as though their customary eX-
ercises were still going on and moth
ing had altered.
"A schoo girl is running along with
her bundle of books to catch an cleo
trio car. Her dress is hanging from
her body, and her little face has
drawn together so that it is now
about the size of fist She is assur-
edly hungry, but she runs as she used
to run in days long ago to catch the
car as though she must run on and on
con a garden path little boy is
playing. His mother calls him and
gives him a piece of bread made Of
some doubtful -four substitute. He
eats it very carefully and collects al
the crumbs and returns to his game
Nor does his mother groan or sigh bu
hurriedly takes up her little basket
a worn stocking and meRds it. AS
suredly she has forgotten the remem
brance of food, yet she hurries OF
with her work.
"You can feel a strain, an inhumal
effort in the present daily life of Pc
trograd. You feel that everything
is only held together by the power o
imagination that may cease at an,
moment.

Germans Hope to
Divide Allies


test of Allied solidarity will come at
the Paris conference when the enemy
commissioners are presented with the
treaty for their signatures. The is
sue will be forced by the German del.
egates in a final effort to sow the
seeds of discord among the nations
that have opposed them, anr to les
sen the severity of the terms in the
interest of a softer peace for the
Huns than thus far has been agreed
upon.
Notwithstanding that the recent
action of the French chamber of dep
uties and the speech before the house
of commons by Mr.. Lloyd George
have shown the great powers to be in
accord with respect to the peace
terms, after a period when danger
Gus spirit of compromise and leni-
! ency seemed to prevail, the Germans
still cherish the hope of striking a
bargain when they go to Versailles.
Hope to Separate Allies.
This they vairqy hope to accom-
plish by separating President Wilson
from the other allied leaders as is
indicated by the emphasis that Ger
man yis now placing upon the neces-
sity, from the Teutonic point of view
of basing the peace treaty upon the
fourteen points," and the general
German chorus that the fourteen
points" have been violated.
The claims that will be advanced
by the German plenipotentiaries have
been put forth from time to time in
various official and semiofficial an
nouncements. They have been sue
entity stated by the Frankfurter Zei-
tung, and are as follows:
All river transport and railway ma.
terial handed over by Germany.
Large supplies left behind by the
Geramns in their retreat to be re-
stored.
Two million tons of seagoing ships
to be restored.
Indemnifcation for damage done
by the bombing of towns.
Suggest Pay for Damage.
Claims on Russia for all damage
done in East Prussia and elsewhere
Damage for destruction of Ger.

terests.
The balance in Germany's favor or
account of compulsory liquidations
in the various countries, and the cost
of feeding prisoners.
Payment for the surrendered guns
aeroplanes, machine guns and war
ships.
Payment for the railways in AL
sace-Lorraine.
Compensation for German proper
ties and German expenditures in Pc
land.
General compensation for the in
creased value, owing to German worl
of Alsace- Lorraine, since 1871.
These fantastic claims fail to rec
ognize the fact that the armistice wa
forced upon Germany, and accepted
by superior military power.
Taken Seriously by Germans.
There is no language in the armis
tice which indicates the obligation O
payment by the allies for militar,
materials stores and equipment de
manded and surrendered, and the
clause relating to the railways in Al
sace-L Lorraine, providing that the,
"shall b ehanded over within the per
iod of 81 days, together with pre-wa
personnel and material" does not diff
fer in any respect from the languag
requiring the surrender of othe
German railway equipment, in, sec

Mrs. Hattie f. Foxworth Dead

On July 1st, when Mrs. Hattie Eu-
laIia Foxworth was called to her eter-
mel home, there passed no ordinary
woman.
J-nselfish to a fault, her life was
devoted to bringing happiness TO
others who were less fortunate.
! In all enterprises of a benevolent
nature she was ever ready with her
means to the best of her ability; and
especially interested in the building
of the First Methodist church OF
Marion. Her membership in her
ward-circle can never be reflled. She
stretched out her hand to the poor
and the hungry were fed. AS she
grew weaker and found the reaper
death near she called her husband to
her, gently placed her arms about
him, and said, T shall soon be gone,
but it is nothing but falling to sleep"
She was a modern business women
coming to Marion only few years
ago, purchased home, and by in
dustry soon paid for It with her own
handy work.
Mrs, Foxworth was a daughter OF
the late James Henry Richardson,
and a decendent of that old historic
family of Brittons which came over
to America and settled at polnt
between the Great and Little zee
Dee. now known as Britton's Neck.
Edward Hern Britton her gradnfatn-
er and her uncle Lieut.. James Brit
ton were active participants in the
war between the states.
Mrs. Foxworth was in her forty
eighth year and was twice marr1ed'
first to Mr.. Samuel Frierson OF Will
liamsburg county where she resided
until his death. Moving back to her
native county she married Mr.. Rob-
ert Evans Foxworth who survives
her and three daughters by her pre-
yious marriage, Miss Edna Frierson,
of Norfolk, Va, Mrs. B. F. Gasgue,
of Dillon; Mrs. c. W. Kaglar OF
Gainesville, Ga.
She was funeralized by her pastor,
Rev. J. w. Daniels at her late resi-
dence. Interment was made at Rose
Hill cemetery.

Can it be a "bald" fact that my
Heavenly twin," Hon. p. Davis Oakley
has at last found a successful hair re-
storer, or do my eyes deceive me?
Listen! In recent issue of your

Hartford domes that glisten in the

shining lights"
Now, as charter member of the

Well knowing, however, of your repu-
tation as ever being fair and square,
l am not, of course, going to get hot
headed over this hair-raising affair.
AS | consider it was an oversight I'll
not bother my head over it any more
but nevertheless I'm glad it's off my
mind now. Under the circumstances
feel you will not be headstrong in re-
gard to the matter and will freely for
give me for writing you these SEEM

which it is to be used and the plan
for raising Connecticut's part. 1t will
be for the benefit of the minister, for
it vii save him from worry of a de-
pendent old age. 1t will be for the
benefit of the church, for it will turn
the tide of good men which has been
setting away from the ministry back
toward it, perhaps. For Connecticut
Congregationalists, under present
conditions, to raise $660,000 is adj
mittedly big task, but it can be done
and it will be DONE That is Connecti-
cuts way Mr.. Beard mentioned, in
cidentally, the painfully small salar-
les which ministers are receiving,
smaller than ever in comparison with
the pay which even unskilled labor is
receiving at this time.
Lunch was served by the ladies of
the church, which means in Putnam
that it was what the average man calls
a full course dinner. At the table
Mr.. Beard spoke feelingly of the sad
dening change which had come to this
church since his last visit there in the
loss of its pastor for % years, Rev.
Frank D. Sargent, and added that the
one consoling thought was that the
church had found, as he believed, a
worthy successor in the Rev. Boynton
Merrill. Mr.. Merrill replied, adding
his appreciation for his predecessor,
and his modest hope that he would not
disappoint the expectations Of the
people.
Following the lunch, there was a
further conference and the laying of
final plans for starting the Windham
county campaign.
Several of those present attended
the school of methods at Hartford, on
Thursday and Friday, at the close
which the assignment of speakers for
the Windham county churches on
Sunday, Sept. IA, was made. These
men will present the claims of the
Pilgrim Memorial Fund in the church
es named on Sept. Ia, the rest of the
county churches being visited on Sept.
81, and in most cases will follow the
county campaign to its close:
