LONDON, Aug. 9-Plans for the
most gigantic relief work ir the his
tory of mankind are being rushed
to completion today, and before
many days have passed foodstuffs
and medicines will be pouring into
southern Russia as well as northern
Russia
Sbipments from United States.
The American relief administration
is planning to rush shipments Of
food direct from the United states.
Headouarters in New York cabled
this morning, requesting dock facili'
ties in south Russian ports. London
replied that such arrangements were
being made.
II is learned that the gigantic task
of feeding refugee women and chill
dren, which has been in progress all
along the Russian border since the
Russo Polish armistice was signed.
has exhausted the former large
stocks of food held at such points
as Riga, Reval and Helsinyfors.
In the face of the present vast
demands, the relief administration
has on hand only twelve tons OF
fats. milk, sugar and flour at Dant-
zig.
The American relief agents are
preparing to get their work under
way Immediately and will buy food
supplies in Hamburg and Copen-
hagen, but they aim to make the
bulk of their purchases In the
United States as far as possible.
Heat Wave Responsible.
The world heat wave, whicn estah-
lished records in America and Eng.
land, was directly responsible for
the Russian famine, according to
Walker Williams, an American re-
lief worker, 'gho has just arrived
In London.
THE food stocks in southern Rus

cent short of the supplies necessary
to feed the population" said viii.

ROYAL|STS
Candidate for Ruler of Russia
Declared to Be Grand
Duke Dmitry.
By HERMAN BERNSTEIN.

1nt huSSldu InOudICulSls are ~
work all over the world. They are
plotting the overthrow of the Boil
sheviki through a series of whole
sale massacres of Jews in Russia
and are preparing to proclaim a
new Tsar in Russia. Their candi-
date is the Grand Duke Dmitry.
Proof Of Conferences.
1t was generally believed that the
Russian monarchists were engaged in
secret Vaccinations for the restoration
of the Romanoff dynasty and their
own privileges. In a series of articles
published last March in the Hearst
newspapers l showed the connection
between the international anti-Semitic
campaign and the Russian monarch
lists both in America and in Europe.
Now I have succeeded in securing
further proof of this in the form of
stenographic reports of the secret
conferences held in Constantinople in
the spring OF 1921.
The men who participated in the
deliberations of those conferences
were notorious in Russian life dur
ing the last years of the Tsar's re-
gime. WeIl-known generals who fig
ured in the war, the head of the Tsar's
ministry of the interior and of the
secret police department, prominent
dignitary of the Russian church. and
others who distinguished themselves
as pogrom- makers under the Tsar
have outlined at these conferences
ways and means regarding the organ
,xation of massacres upon a scale un-
known even in the days of the po-
groms of Kichineff and Homel.
1t was generally believed, but this
stenographic report of the conferences
establishes 1t beyond doubt, that the
Russian monarchists are working In
every large center of Europe, particu-
Iarly In Germany. The Russian
monarchist organization in New York
is closely connected with the Russian
monarchist net which is spread
throughout the world.
Stamps Of Consulate.
The documents bear the stamps OF
the Russian consulate In CONSTANT
nople. The copy intended for the
archives of the Russian consulate was
authorized by the president of the
organization, who also presided at the
secret conferences, and is marked
strictly confidential and not for pub
lication.'
A Russian officer who was init.
mately familiar with the work OF
tho conference and the organiza-
tion but who was not entirely in
sympathy with the diabolical me
thods proposed, has made 1t pos.
sible for me to secure the authen-
ticated copy of the documents which
are reproduced here in full.

SCHOOL OFFICIALS MEET
ON new FRATERNITY BAN
Discuss Plans to Enforce Recent
Ruling of Board OF =
Education.

Plans to enforce the recent ruling Of
the board Of education designed to erad-
icate the secret societies in the high
schools were discussed at a conference
between Supt. Ballou and principals of
the senior institutions yesterday after
noon at the Franklin School. The new
order debars members of fraternities
and sororities in the high schools from
obtaining any honors or distinction
while in school
Forms which the students will be
forced to sign regarding the organiza-
tions OF which they are members were
considered. However. no definite deci-
sion was reached as to the kind of form
to be used. 1t is understood that Dr.
Ballou will base the form on suggestions
made to him by the high school heads.
The boards new ruling will again be
discussed at meeting of fraternity rep
resentatives with Robert A. Maurer,
principal of Central High School, this
afternoon at the school. 1t is probable
that action will be taken by the repre-
sentatives of such organizations to in
dicate to school authorities what posi-
ton the secret societies will take reia-
tive to the new order.
Supt. Ballou made it clear that he in
tended to strictly enforce the new order.
which he believes will wipe out all the
secret organizations in the high schools
unless they are greatly modified in char
acter.
