l YOVELlSTS undoubtedly know great many
~ things and two of them have recently made
perfectly clear the cause of the famine in
Russia. They disagree; but both speak with
ch perfect assurance that it would seem as if both

must be right.
In response to an appeal from the Mos
COW IspestiG, Mr. H. G. Wells has sent the
following message:
at is with the utmost distress that the
liberal thinkers in Western Europe and
America hear of the dreadful famine that
has come upon the regions devastated by
Koltchak and Wrangel.
For these devastations, and for the dis
organization OF the railway system of Russia
by Polish invasions and civil wars, which
prevents the Russian government from any
adequate attempts to cope with the disaster,
the vacillating cruelties Of Atlantic policy
are largely responsible.
ut is with dismay and contrition that the
Western peoples must now themselves
to such assistance as is still possible to
these unhappy regions"
Dmitri Merezhkovski, regarded by many
Russians as one OF the greatest living novel
lists, has written letter to Gerhardt Haupt-
mann in which he excoriates the Boshevik
leaders and especially Maxim Cork, to whose
appeal for aid the German novelist had
made sympathetic reply Dmitri Merezh-
kovski's letter is long and lurid. Cork is
described as "the secret" cunning, hypocriti-
cal, but the worst enemy OF the Russian
people" He then proceeds to show that
Lenin is a much worse enemy than Cork.
"Do you not see, Herr Hauptmann," he
writes, behind the shameless tears and
planetary plattudes of Cork, the calm smile
Of Lenin. He had no pity for the millions
who have already persisted; he will have no
pity for these. The whole question is whether
he needs their destruction. Apparently he
now needs the threat the ghastliness of an
Inhalation as an instrument of extorton di-
rccted AGAINST the whole world. He knows
The Washington herald., 1921-09-04

that if anything is given it will be only little that
it will just be enough to allow him to keep his
people going and rule the others by hunger to lead
the by iron ring. The guarantees too trouble
him little He has fear of guarantees, for in any
they be fulfilled. But if this trick does
not succeed, he has another in reserve, to incite
hungry Russia against welfed Europe Vanqush or
perish. But this is his last trick.
The Boisheviks not the only included
in Merezhkovskis indictment. What the Russian
murderers began the others completed. Lenin laid
the around the neck of the Russian people and
the other nations have drawn it tight. Not one or
another nation but all the nations and the whole of
humanity have shown themselves in the Russian
tragedy devoid of conscience. That is the most
terrible thing of ALL"
Three statements taken from Austrian papers of
August give idea of conditions which is not
reassuring: The Austrian exchange at that date
touched a new low record, kronen in Switzerland
being quoted at e. centimes and dollar in Vienna
being worth 1881 kronen. The last report of the
Austro- Hungarian Bank showed an increase in the
circulation of paper money during the previous week
of z47oooooo kronen bringing the total to approxi-
mately $1,000 ooo Food in Austria at that date
cost oS times as much in July, 1o14 clothing cost
1856 times much.

disaster that has fallen upon the Russian
people, they are practically unanimous in
urging that Great Britain join with America
in supporting relief. 1t is generally held
that the conditions laid down by Secretary
Hoover wholly justified by the record
of the Soviet government and by existing
circumstances. After survey OF the Russian
situation the London Times says: Feelings
of self-prescrvation as well as Of simple
humanity dictate in this case the provision
of abundant and speedy relief. But it is all
important that the principle of relief should
be nonpolitical. The Soviet government that
has destroyed Russia is not fit to be intrust-
ed with relief Mr.. Hoover has strongly in
sisted that any help rendered by his power
full organization must be brought direct to
the starving mutitudes by his own agents.
That, we are convinced is the only possible
mode of action. If the terrible suffering is
to be mitigated, the Soviet government must
give facilities for strong international or
ganization to come to Russia and administer
relief directly through experienced and mn
partial agents without let or hindrance." ..
The Yorkshire Post likewise emphasizes
the necessity of securing guarantees from
the Soviet authorities: Even though the
giving of such help may haye the undesirable
effect of bolstering up the Soviet government
for further period, common humanity will
not permit the outside world to look on
passively while the wretched Russian masses
pay with their lives for the privilege of
Bolshevik rule. We are, however. entitled
to an assurance that whatever assistance we
give shall not be directly to the Russian
government. but to the Russian people, and
the first difficulty to be overcome was. to
prevent their government appropriating any
food sent into the country to their own pur-

GERMANS DENY
Immigration TO
MEXICO HEAVY
Not More Than 600 Germans
Admitted to Country
Since End of War.

MEXICO CITY, April 26.-Ger-
man immigration to Mexico has so
decreased that not more than 600
have entered this country since the
end of the war. German officials
nave urged their countrymen not to
migrate here at present but rather
to avail themselves of the facilities
offered for settlement in the South
American republics of Argentina,
Uruguay. and Paraguay. Information
to this effect was given at the
German embassy following inquiries
as to newspaper reports here that
an official request had been made in
behalf of Germans for a concession
of about 10000 acres of and in
Coahuilla.
Denial was made that the Coahuila
concession in question pertains to
German citizens, Counsellor Fubr as
sorting that the request was made
by naturalized Germans in the Unit
ed States, principally from Texas,
who wished to form colony near
Las Vacas ,Coahuila and desert their
American homes.
The only pretentiOus emigration
from Germany to Mexico ended in
failure" Counsellor Fuhr asserted
Shortly after the end of the war a
colonization company was formed of
several hundred members who pooled
their resources and purchased Ger
man goods estimated to bring $500,
900 (pesos) when sold in Mexico.
1.-TWO men were appointed to ac-
company the goods but unfortunately
after they disposed of them they
pocketed the money and have dis
appeared Meanwhile. the would-be
colonists embarked for Mexico in
large numbers but since their ar
rival here they have been virtual
wards of the permanent German
colony in Mexico City inasmuch as
they had invested all their funds
in the defunct company One of the
colonists. for instance, was a former
German vice-Admiral He is now
working as a laborer with sur
veying gang and is glad of the
chance"
Declaration was made further that
the Mexican government, as yet has
offered no inducements for German
immigration beyond mere transporta
ton from the port of entry to the
place of settlement. Contrasted tc
this is the policy inaugurated by the
Plata republics, Argentina. Uruguay
and Paraguay, whereby colonists OF
established worth are provided free
passage from Germany and liberal
grants of land Until other facil
tiles are offered by Mexico and
demonstrating is made practical
Counsellor Fuhr said his countrymen
would be advised to stay away.

BESSIE BARRISCALE IN
A COMEDY "A THE PALACE.

Bessie BarriScale will appear to-
night at the Palace in 1.-TWO Gun
Betty" which is said to be a de-
lightful comedy drama, the first of
a series of pictures she is now
filming. The comedy drama is said
to have both the suspense and dram
attic value of heavy drama and the
CHEEKY qualities of comedy.
The art and secret of the matter
is all in the method of combining
these two elements SO as to lose
none of the value of either, and this
it is believed, has been accomplished
in the initial subject. ''Two Gun
Betty is irresistible funny by virtue
CT situation, incident and quaint
characterization; and, at the same
time, has unquestioned dramatic pow
el and love interest.
The production was filmed at the
Srunton Studios in Hollywood, Cal.
and the quaint settings of cattle
ranch and adobe hut, mountain and
plain are used to fine effect.

LEGHORN HEN IN LINE
TO BEAT TURK LAYER

WALLA WALLA, Wash, April %.
A white leghorn hen at Attalia
made her nest up barn loft. A
turkey hen found the nest and de-
cided it would answer her purposes
and began laying eggs in it. Tho
white leghorn viewed the eggs care
fully and the next day the egg she
laid was little larger than usual
The end of the week she was laying
an egg twice the size of the ordi-
nary leghorn. Poultry experts aver
IL at within another week she will
have the turkey hen beaten if she
can keep up the pace. An egg left
at the Bulletin office certainly doe,
not discredit the story.
