Days, sometimes weeks, are required

RUSSIANS HIT BY FAMlNES
Shortages of Food Date From 1900
100000 Persons Reduced to Star
walton in Famine of 1911.

Next to the proletariat of India and
China, the Russian peasant feels the
pinch of poverty and hunger more
keenly and more frequently than any
other, says the National Geographic
Society. One of the earliest Russian
famines on record was that of 1900,
with a death toll of 100000 peasants.
Cats. dogs and rats were eaten. and
even the strong overcame the weak.
Human flesh was sold in the markets.
Three Russian famines of recent
date were among the most severe i'm
history-in 1884, 1906 and 1911. Dur
ing the ten years following the first
of these, the government allotted
nearly S125,000,000 for relief, but the
sums were not always judiciously ex-
pended. In 1906 the government gave
40 pounds of flour month to all per-
sons under eighteen years old and over
fifty-nine. Those between these ages
received no allowance, and the older
and younger shared their pittance
with the others.
The famine Of 1911 extended over
one-third the area of Europe and af-
fected 100000 persons, while g.
100000 were reduced TO starvation.
Weeds, the bark of trees and bitter
bread made of acorns, constituted
the chief diet.
