Miss Ethel Barrymore,
Taken to Hospital Here

Miss Ethel Barrymore arrived from
Cincinnati yesterday morning, accom-
panied by her uncle. John Drew, and
was taken Immediately to Flower Hos
pital. After she had lain i'll for three
it was decided to bring her to New
York for a consultation of physicians.
The actress stood the journey we'll and
appeared to be better yesterday than
she has been for some time.
DR.. L. L. Danforth, who is attending
her, said her condition was not at all
serious and that her case had been
diagnosed as rheumatism from strepto-
cocci. 1t would be unnecessary to call
a further consultation and she will re-
cover in few weeks, he believed. It is
improbable, however, that Miss Barry
more will plaY again this season

spcctal Dispatch to rhe rribnns

BOSTON, Jan. ao.-MissN Manik Ka-
sambi, p comely young native student
from far-off India, Brahmin of the
highest caste. who has come to America
to study at Radcliffe College, expresses
her amazement at the Shocking
dances" of the people here and at the
Immoral clothing" worn by our
women.- She abhors American modern
dancing and says she cannot under
stand why the authorities permit it,"
Tight skirts and skirts that show
generous portions of the legs also are
beyond her comprehension. sIn India
only servants wear such short cloth
ing" she comments. THE respectable
classes wear the 'sari,' which comes
clear to the feet. Even the English
women in India, who are most like the
Americans, would never think of wear
ing such skirts as I have seen since
coming to this country"
1t Is Miss Kasgr.bi's bslief that
dances such as ours are not only in
moral, but degrading. She plans TO

Russia, Says Sack
13, 600, 600 Moro Begin TO-
Suffer Pangs df Htingeran
Collapse 0f Bolshevisin Is
Near, Bureau Chief Asserts

The desperate situation Of the Boil
shevik regime in Russia has been ten-
dered more acute by d widespread
famine, and the fall Of Bolshevism may
be expected at any niomeht, declared
A. j. Sack, director Of the Russian In
formation Bureau, yesterday.
Mr.. Sack said that 13,00o.00o persons
had begun to suffer the pahgs Of famine
this month, in addition to 1900, 900 who
lacked food last month. These condi-
tions were disclosed in reports from
Paris made by the delegates who are
attending the Russian anti BolsheHik
conference there.
"fhe econsnie life Of the country is
destroyed Mr.. Sack asserted, accord
ing even to the Bolshevik official data.
According to No. 2s6 Of the uhicial
daily, Prayda, which contains a conf
parative table of manufacturing out-
puts for the first half year Of 1920, as
compared with the corresponding pc
riod of 1914, the present output Of iron
in Rolshevik Russia is only 14 per cent
of the output before the war; steel.
per cent; cotton, 90 per cent, and coal
IS per cent. The area Under ealtiva-
tion is "a per cent as compared with
land cultivated III 1914.
"This winter not only the: Russian

decreased area Of land under eNltiva-
tion but alse to fatal crop failures in

Po1es Are Living
On Grass, Acorns,
Bark, Says Writer
Coningsby Dawson, Home
After 2 Months of Relief
Work, Declares Austrians
Are Starving Respectfully

Coningsby Dawson, writer and. cS-
soldier, who has spent two months
abroad az the. representative of the
European Relief Council, reached, this
port Yesterday on the Aquitania. He
said that the people of Poland were
living on grass, s%rk and acorns; that
the middle and upper classes in Aus
trla were starving ''in a respectable
manner" and that entire populations
could be saved from death only by
sending them six months supply Of
The population Of Poland is/made
up mostly OF refugees" said Mr.. Daw-
son, who have been in the path of
seven advancing armies, each Of which
mas picked them bit cleaner. Now
1ney inc are on the verge of starvation
uving on bark, grass and acorns,
ground into -four and baked into bread
that looks like cobblestones. The man
ana women can keep alive in some fash
ION; but the boys and girls will actual
~ de OF starvation without our help.
This is true also of the middle and
upper classes of Austria" said Mr..
Dawson. '"They are slowly starving in
respectable manner. They are proud
people, and they do not parade their
misery IN the streets. A casual OBJ
or any other large city of central Eu-
rope and sees only the neat exterior
OF the streets may come away with the
impression that there is no need or
suffering there. Everything is so neat,
clean and trin1-on the outside. But
60 inside and see what you will see!
Ihelr rooms are picked bare. Every
ing OF the slightest value has been
pawned. Now they have nothing left
80 they are dying. quietly and cleanly"
The present economic troubles of
Lentral - a and Eastern Europe are large
~ due to the foreign exchange values,
Mr. Dawson believes. The currency is
practically WORTHLESS and no one will
use 1t as basis of trade. All trading.
IS done on the dollar basis, and the
payment is made in crowns at what
ever the days market rate may be.
The people who have money, he said
are constantly gambling on the ex-
change rates.
1.-The only possible solution" he said,
lis that the people of the world who
have food must know that they are re-
sronsible for the lives of these hungry
people and must send them food. This
food must come Immediately and not in
skimpy doles. A six months food sup
ply must be shipped over there so that
stability may come at once"
In return for these food redits Mr.
Dawson believes that some oversight
and supervision should be maintained
in Central and Eastern Europe by a
commission, which would be the sole
arbiter of economic questions. The
railroads, especially, need irnm ediate
supervision and reconstruction. Di-
rectors should be placed at the heads
OF the transportation systems to plan
for the nations rebirth. "These di-
rectors should be Americans, prefer
ably" Mr.. Dawson said.

From . spectql corrsspondent


WASHINGTON, Jan. 30.---Quitc like
the conscientious head of the average
American home. Mrs. Warren G. Har-
ding, wife of the President-elect,
steadfastiy declined to accept any of
the invitations which were showered
upon her last week, while she devoted
her attention exclusively to getting
moved.
That the domestic side Of life is a
problem even to IKE new chatelAine of
the White House - shown by the fact
that Mrs. Harding was unable to COM
plete her homely duties within the
first part of the week as planned, in
order to spend the latter part in New
York. The shopping trip to New York,
accordingly, was postponed until this
week, when, following the example of
her predecessors, Mrs. Harding will
purchase hnr outfit for the inaugural
ceremonies in the metropolis.
In the meantime, gossip is rife in
social and official life as to what the
next First Lady of the Land will wear
and do when she has taken her place
in the White House.
1t is pointed out that Mrs. Harding,
although resident of Washington for
five years, did not join the fashionable
Congressional Club, which is largely
made up Of the wives of members Of
the Senate and House, and that she
seldom frequented the country clubs.
Mrs. Harding is spoken Of as a
charming, genial and pleasant dinner
companion, and while inconspicuous in
the matter of dress, it is said that she
always gives tile impression of being
thoroughly well-groomed. with GER
tain simple elegance revealed in ex-
cellence of fabric, simplicity of design
and unobtrusiveness of color.
