CATS FOR FOOD
BRING S3 EACH IN
RUSSIAN CITIES
Starvation Killing People
Daily by Thousands in
Territory Governed by
BOISheviki.

London, March 6,-Starvation
prevails throughout bolshevik Rus
sia and is killing off the population
by thousands. Disease due to nm
der-nourishment are rampant and
food is so scarce in Petrograd and
Moscow that cats sell readily for IS
each. The undertakers cannot cope
with conditions as there is not
enough wood for coffins. The
British government received these
reports within the last week from
British subjects recently returned
from Russia.
Food Situation Terrible.
Their evidence is unanimous that
the food situation is terrible and
that if means are not found to al
leviate it the inhabitants of bolshevik
Russia may starve to death, The
Britishers say that the plight Of
Russia is a direct result of the reign
Of anarchy and terror instituted by
LeniEe and Trotzky They declare
that the Russian problem has be-
come a question OF common hui
manity.
Thousands are dying daily in
pctrograd, Moscow, Kiev and
Odessa. In Petrograd alone the
deaths from famine three weeks ago
numbered 200 daily. Typhoid or
'hunger typhus" is carrying off
voug and old everywhere and in
Moscow CHAMBERS is epidemic.
Live in Darkness and Cold.
There is no fuel for lighting and
millions live in darkness after night
fall. The troubles of the Russians
are further aggravated by lack OF
coal and wood which can be obtain
cd only by the very rich or by the
favorites and parasites of the bolsne-
vik government.
The famous Kremlin, in Moscow
accordingto reports is now used as
a boarding place of wood, fuel and
lighting materials for the bolshevik
government. The bolshevik food
distributing system has fallen down
and works only to the advantage OF
the government and its supporters.
Meat, milk and vegetables conf
mand enormous prices when they
can be obtained.
There is a great lack Of medicines
and doctors.
The bolshevik paper money has
no value in the country districts and
the peasants refuse to exchange il
for food.
