Necessities of the Famine-strick-
en- in Russian Provinces.


According to State Department ad-
vices, nearly three-quarters of mill
lion tons of foodstuff will be required
to alleviate famine conditions in ten
provinces of Russia. These advices
are summarized as follows:
From Saratov to Vjatka-i. e., the
middle Volga district-the famine sit
alton is developing to an acute de-
gree in the Eastern Ukraine, the
North Cauasus and the South Ural
districts. Not less than 60.000,000
pools "a pood is equivalent to thirty
six English pounds) of grain will be
required for food in the Volga dis
tricts. For the purpose of sowing a
new crop. 100000 pools will be re-
quired before September 1. A recent
arrival in Riga from Moscow reports
that 100000 persons are migrating
to Siberia and almost the same num-
ber are moving toward the south.
1t Is stated that within two weeks 10.-
100000 people will be without food.
I'm the Moscow IZvestia for July q,
kamenev Chairman of the all-Rus-
sian commission for combating fam
incl states that 100000 poods of
provinces that are starving. This
amount of grain must be imported
into the precise districts that were
themselves. expected to produce Co.
100000 pools. The cities require 49,
100000 poods. The deficit in the sup
ply of grain is now estimated at 120,-
100000 pools.
Little or no winter grain will be
sown by September /, as it is not be-
lieved possible to obtain from abroad
and transport to the appropriate areas
the requisite food. The hunger
stricken area is spreading!"
