Bread for Theatre Seats
Plan of Russian Relief

a CABLEGRAM from the Rus
sian Telegraph Agency to the
publication Soviet Russia stated
that the All-Russian Famine Re-
lief Committee had sent out two
relief trains from Moscow to aid
6,500,000 starving children in
the Volga drought district.
The despatch said that all
State theatres would devote the
month to benefit performances
for the famine sufferers. The
following poster is typical Of the
methods employed by the the
atrical companies to raise relief
supplies:
Brother peasants, pause and
read: The artists give you spirit
ual enjoyment, you pay for it
with bread for your hungry
brothers. Admission prices: first
row, three pounds of grain, or
four pounds of peas, or fifteen
pounds Of potatoes; second row,
ETC., with the various prices fixed

Hordes of Grasshoppers
Die Rather Than Go Back

QUEBEC, Aug. 5.-Hundreds
y of thousands of dead grass
hoppers floated down the st.
Lawrence River to-day and ex-
cited the curiosity of agricultur-
lists who could offer no plausible
explanation. At Three Rivers
the insects covered the river
from shore to shore at one point.
New York agriculturists ad-
vanced the suicide theory in con-
nection with the discovery of hun
dreds of thousands of dead grass
hoppers floating down the st.
Lawrence. They explained that,
like Napoleon's cavalry, these in
sects never turned back. Scien-
lists believe that, having eaten
everything behind them, the
horde approached the river,
failed to negotiate the broad
jump and plunged ahead to their
death.

Warn Against Unrestricted
Aid From Allies.
Special Gable to THE NEW York HERALD

New York Herald Bureau.
Paris, Aug. b.
The first move by International Com
munists TO checkmate what they suspect
to be the intention OF the Allies or the
United States TO hasten the collapse OF
Bolshevism by obtaining unrestricted
powers for Herbert Hoover's relief or
ganization appeared In an appeal to the
proletariat issued from Communist head
quarters here signed by all the members
OF the Moscow executive committee.
This outburst warns Reds of all srades
against placing confidence in capitalistic
relief, and urges all Communists u sub
scribe at least a days wages to the
Communist party itself, which will un-
dertake to purchase wheat and nledi-
cines IN the best markets to be for
warded 10 the Soviet leaders where the
famine is raging the fiercest.
Secretary Hoover's offer is denounced
as a movement to start counter revolu-
tion by turning hungry hordes against
the Moscow commissaries II the latter
refuse TO open Russia to allied invasion.
THE Governments Of the United
States and England" 1t is stated. or
dinarily prolific with humanitarian
phrases promise to aid Russia in a
roundabout fashion. but insinuate that
the promises will not become acts until
the day Soviet Russia allows full liberty
of action to their diplomats, as well as
to the counter revolutionary bour-
geoisie."
The appeal arriving simultaneously
with confirmation Of reports that Ienine
and Trotzky have agreed to allow the
Menshiviki partial control in dealing
with the famine, the Communists new
attitude has provoked much concern here
as 1t is feared Moscow intends to de-
mand the fullest guarantees that there
will be no political interference once the
foodstuffs begin to arrive at the Russian
frontiers.
The French are admittedly anxious
TO make the issue one for joint action
by the Supreme Council. and Premier
Brands appeal for aid for the Russians
on humanitarian grounds undoubtedly
was inspired by a desire not to arouse
Socialist antagonism to the Government
Mt time when the vital Silesian. the
Near Eastern and the reparatlons issues
are on the point of settlement salts
factory to France.
There is a feeling here that whatever
assistance France contributes to Russian
relief should be placed entirely at the
disposal Of the American Relief Associa-
tion for distribution. The American or
SANITATION. 1t Is said. is capable OF cop
ing with the situation. France in con-
tributing through this organization
would In no way recognize the Soviet
Government.
1t Is argued In certain circles here
that only one possibility now exists of
harmony of action regarding Russia being
maintained. namely. recognition by the
Soviet Government OF Frances financial
claims. and political observers are fol-
lowing closely the reported negotiations
of Erasslne on this point

HUGHES TO BE HEAD
OF U. S. DELEGATION
Probable He Also Will Be the
President Of Conference
to Limit Arms.
Special Despatch TO THE NEW York HERALD
New York Herald Bureau.
Washington, ID. O., Aug. 5.

New York Herald Bureau,
Washington, ID. O., Aug. 8. }
Secretary of State Hughes will head
the American delegat ation at the Wash
ngton conference on limitation Of arma-
rents AMI Far Eastern questions. In
all probability Mr. Hughes also will be
president of the conference.
Before he left for New England, Presi-
dent Harding let It be known that he
had already made up his mind regarding
two OF the men who are to represent
the United States. There is no doubt
but that one OF them is Secretary
Hughes.
1t is customary for the head of the
delegation in whose country an interna-
tionaI conference Of this kind is held
to be selected by tie other delegates as
the presiding officer. So diplomatic cir
cles are taking 1t for granted that Mr..
Hughes will take the chair.
Now that the time for the opening
session has been virtually agreed upon
az November IL. Armistice Day, 1t Is the
desire OF the Administration that the
American delegation be organized as
for the meeting.
The President already has said that
the Senate will be represented on the
American delegation. Senator Lodge.
(Mass.). and Senator Knox, (Pa.). have
been mentioned In this connection. 1t is
also known that the President intends
to make the delegation nonpartisan in
character and some persons have thought
that he might select Senator Shields,
(Tenn.) as The Democratic member
The size of the delegation is a matter
still to be determined by the President.
1t was stated officially to-day that there
may be some interchange of opinion be-
tween the various governments on this
point with view to having all the dele
cations the same, or about the same, in
numbers. The United States may make
some suggestions along this limo.
Another whose name has been sug-
gested as a possibility for the American
delegation Is Chief Justice Taft. Sew
eral women's organizations have asked
the President 10 put one of their sex on
the delegation. The President recently
indicated that he regarded this request
as quite proper and that he was giving
1t serious consideration.
1t is becoming more apparent as the
plans for the conference mature. that
the wishes of the United States will be
followed on practically every important
point in the preliminary arrangements,
The latest indications are that Great
Britain. France. Italy and China are
perfectly content TO have the United
States select the topics for discussion,
thereby virtually fixing the agenda.
Japan alone Is holding out on this
point because Of her desire to exclude
some Far Eastern questions which this
country deems OF vital Importance. But
in the end 1t seems certain that Japan
will have 10 yield to the superior influ-
ence of all of the other participating
nations.

PARTICIPATION BY u. S.
IN COUNCIL EXPLAINED
Embassy Issues Statement as
Harvey Leaves for Paris.
b. the Associated Press.

LONDON. Aug. 5.--In connection with
the departure OF George Harvey, the
American Ambassador. for Paris to at
tend the Supreme Council, the embassy
this evening issued to tho English press
quotations from the American Govern
ment's acceptance of the councils in
vitation to be represented and which
will serve as a guide for Mr.. Harvey.
The general effect Of the statement is
that the United States. while abstaining
from European questions. considers IL
is entitled to participate in economic
questions arising out OF the war.
The State Department at Washington
on May gave out the correspondence
between David Lloyd George, President
of the Allied Conference, and Secretary
OF State Hughes. which contained the
following paragraph:
THE Government Of the United States.
while maintaining the traditional policy
of abstention from participation In mat
ters OF distinctly European concern, Is
deeply Interested In the proper encour-
ngement and In the just settlement OF
matters OF worldwide Importance which
are under discussion In these confer
ences, and desires helpfully TO cooperate
in the deliberations upon these ques-
tions."
