propriating 100000 to be used for the

The United States government can
not escape somet responsibility for
present conditions in Russia, Senator
Borah, Republican, Idaho, declared
in the discussion of the relief meas
ure. He urged change in the atti-
tude Of the American government to-
ward Russia, adding that in his opin-
ion "the de facto government as such
ought to be recognized"
The present government in Russia,
the senator said, had stood for four
years and had demonstrated that it
could stand against the situation.

visement the petition of trustees of

ciety for an injunction to restrain
the directors Of the First Church of

Sherman L. Whipple, counsel for

trustees because the latter had tend
cred their designations to the court
and had asked the court to appoint
their successors.
For the directors former Gov. John

To add to the misery an influenza
epidemic is sweeping the territory.
The death rate has been alarming.
Schools have closed, out of 500 pupils
only 104 were able to attend classes
last week.
! Conditions in Minden and surround
ing mining communities are deplor-
able. The babies cling to gaunt pa
rents, weakened by weeks of literal
starvation. An eyewitness arriving
here tonight said that loaf Of bread
would be hailed as gift from
i1eaven.
Where only one pair Of wearabla
shoes are left in family the children
take turns in wearing them. The
majority are walking about barefoot
ed and shivering in the biting cold.
The mines shut down in early fall.
Lack Of orders was the cause. Five
hundred miners were thrown out of
employment. During the warmer
weather of autumn there was no
serious suffering, but when cold came,
lack of food clothing and medical at
tention brought about pltlful condl-
tions. One man from the stricken
area, who managed to secure money
enough to reach here, said that Min
den was "a he'll on earth" and had
been for several weeks.
The stores have stopped credit and
money is scarce. Many Of the fami-
! lies have not had dollar since the
mines closed.
Charleston has rushed six Red Cross
nurses to The scene. They report I'M
believable suffering. The percentage
Of babies born since food was un-
obtainable has been high for COM
munity the size of Mindcn, and but
few Of the babies have lived. The
death: rate, both for young and old,
has been alarming. ~

With respect to the responsibilities
