2Sth, 1920.
One year has passed but still we miss
you,
Friends ay think the wound is heal

But there's none who know the sor-
Deep within our hearts concealed.

That we missed our goodby kiss,

without sorrow, toll or care.
We miss You so much son,
We treasure your honOred name,

But we realize our earthly loss
Is heavens sweetest gain
All is sorrow within our dwelling
Lonely are our hearts today,
For the one we loved so dearly
Has for time passed away
He is gone but not forgotten,
Never will his memory fade;
Loving thoughts will ever linger,
Round the grave where he is laid.
One year has passed our hearts are
sore,
AS time flies by we miss you more,
Your loving voice your welcome face
No one can fill your vacant place.
Forget you no we never will!
We loved you then we love YOU still
Your memory is as fresh today
AS IN the hour you passed away.

hibited. On July 10 the ofYlcial tempera-
ture at Paris touched s9.5 degrees the
highest official record for forty-two years.
That temperature, attended by high humid.
ity and absence Of appreciate breeze,
caused intense suffering. For many days
1t was actually dangerous to venture into
the sun and many prostrations were re-
ported.
The Agricultural Department Of France
reported pasturage burned; corn the only
good crop, and all other vegetation in bad
condition. crops extremely short and prod
ucts expensive. The drought covered all of
since the 22d of May, and that was merely
a shower. All wells and waterways were
becoming dry and drinking water was at
premium. Sufferings of live stock, COM
bined with the shortage OF vegetable prod.
ucts and their high prices, caused cattle to
be rushed to market to be sold at any
price, but even those sacrifices did not
deter the upward swing of prices upon all
food products, including meat.
Mr.. Henningsen, vice-Consul for Den
mark at New York, who has Just returned
from his country, says: II left Denmark
three weeks ago, after having experienced
some Of the heat and drought. Things were
in bad condition and have been for some
time, but before left a good supply of
rain came and saved the crops and re-
plenished the wells. Fortunately, Denmark
has very rich soil and recovered very
quickly. Jutland was seriously affected by
H. INI t.J
light. sandy soil there does not retain the
moisture Water was very scarce and every
thing was drying up"
It has been learned from competent au.
thority that Switzerland has suffered very
seriously. The drought began there In May
and since then only few showers have
occurred. Extreme heat has been constant,
many streams and wells have given out and
1t was difficult to obtain sufficient water
for household purposes. The relative lack
Of water In the mountains of Switzerland
and Italy has driven yipers from their
hiding places, and they infest the roadways
and villages, and make 1t rather necessary
to watch ones step. From Zermatt, Swift
zerland, comes the news that never before
have there been more accidents among the
climbers, and the reason is attributed to
the relatively high temperatures, which
have caused snow bridges to melt and be-
come unsafe, and developed dangerous
crevasses among the glaciers, and, Of
course the heat Of other lands has sent
more tourists to meet the accidents. AL
pine lakes have dried to the extent that the
foundations of certain houses, laid some
1000 years ago, have been exposed and
found to be in perfect preservation.
Paris press dispatches indicate that Hun
gary suffers from both heat and drought:
that temperatures Of 100 degrees have oc-
CURED at many places, accompanied by
high humidity, and that all industry has
been impeded.
Mr.. R. Munk, secretary to the Norwegian
Consul at New York. says: while Norway
has been very hot, the crops were not
much affected. 1t will be medium year;
we have plenty Of water, but we need -four
and sugar"

and provokes pestilence and death. The
populace have been instructed not to drink
of 1t and have no means of boiling the
water, in the absence of any sort of fuel.
CONGREGATIONS have denuded the forests of
northern Russia and Siberia, and bear,
deer and other food animals have been
driven away.
The Volga, affectionately called Little
Mother Volga," the gigantic waterway Of
Russia; 1900 miles long, sometimes eleven
miles wide; draining country three times
the size of France, with delta Of seventy
two miles, is the stream the water of
which is fast being evaporated and now so
polluted as to be unfit to drink Our great
Hudson is babbling brook in comparison.
The famous "black earth" districts. the
most fertile agricultural portion of the
Empire, II not of the world, have been re-
peatedly visited by famine. A succession
OF bad harvests has been more disastrous
to Russia than to other countries, except
ing possibly China, and 1t Is in those
fertile districts that the worst famines oc-
.ur.
The very word Siberia has Justly become
synonymous with land of intense cold.
But 1t is also land of intense heat,
which at times Is more insufferable than an
equal degree Of heat at several ATTITUDES
further south. The heat in northern Rus.
STA and Siberia does not prevail long after
the first of September, and cool days reach
southern Russia by the first of October, and
about one month later the mercury ceases
to rise above the freezing point.
China has undergone the trials Of famine
and pestilence since long before Christ.
Those calamities in that country are not
so much due to Climate and atmospheric
conditions as to absence OF sanitation.

her territory toward the relative atmo-
spheric vacuums that linger over her bare
northern spaces.
The Russian Empire in eastern Europe
and northern Asia covers an area exceed
ing 100000 square miles, or one-sixth Of
the land surface Of the globe. 1t is mostly
confined to the cold temperate zones. The
climate Of Russia presents striking uni
formity; the dry, southeast winds extend
over immense spaces Of fiat plains. Warm
weather sets in definitely in June, gener-
ally reaching O maximum temperature in
July, and near the Black Sea in August.
The summers are much warmer than in
corresponding ATTITUDES of the western
countries Of Europe and periods Of extreme
heat such as have just been experienced,
are quite uncomfortable.
The steppes are very fertile plateau land.
intersected by numerous ravines, and fur
nish pasture for cattle and sheep, but for
the past two months those waterways have
been dry. Over those broad plains Of thou
sands of square miles, which are ex.
tremely productive in seasonable weather,
is now only black earth and desolation.
There is no breeze. the air is dry and
sitting: even the hardy Russian must sue
cumb to its deadening influence. 1t is not
q case Of the survival of the flttest, but of
water and food. They who have 1t will
survive; the others will die. In the in.
tense heat an infinite silence broods over
the land enc permsates the human with
terror. 1t is unsafe to venture abroad in
search Of necessities. Suicide is prefer.
able to slow starvation, and is being
adopted. No animals are visible: all
donkeys and horses have been eaten. No
water is to be found. except In the last
dregs Of the volga. and that is polluted

waves and arfdity, those are not the pri.
mary causes, for unusual atmospheric condi-
tions do not occur at such regular intervals
as do the periods of scourge of one sort or
another. 1t is possibly true that some
parts of China are in great distress and
urgently In need Of food at the present
time, but the recent hot wave over Europe
and the East is not the cause of their
suffering.
roland seems to have been we'll cared for
by the elements and to have escaped the
devastation suffered by her neighbors. She
seems to possess a sufficiency of essentials,
ana thereby, presents to the hordes of
starving Russians most attractive forag-
ing ground for those bare necessities Of
which they have been deprived through no
fault OF their own. Thousands Of the starv-
Ing from the Volga districts are already
migrating southwark on foot. Commander
John J. London, U, S. NJ, Of the cruiser
st. Louis, is reported to have said that the
neet OF seven destroyers was kept busy
caring for refugees coming from the Black
Sea ports. He described the condition of
the 100000 Russian refugees in CONSTANT

Volga and in remote districts. Reports

STA. Petrograd denies the presence Of cases
of cholera in the city, but Moscow &C.
knowledges many. The health department
is embarrassed by limited means of trans.
portation. More than $4,000 cases had been
reported up to July 81. The health de-
partment has started a system Of compul-
sorry incubation in the hope of retarding
the spread of the disease. Typhus has been
mentioned as a menace that is probable
with the approach of cold weather.
1t is well known that the transportation
facilities of Russia are at their lowest eff
cheney. Railways are very nearly useless,

in the hands Of the Bolshevists and 1t Is
they who insist upon dispensing what may
be donated. Therefore, as Captain Emmett
Fitzpatrick says: "If America starts reliev.
ing the Russians, hope it will watch the
food go down the Threats of the hungry,
otherwise the Communists will be the only
ones provided for. Already the Soviet Is
sending out propaganda urging that only
the fit should get food. All others must
die"
Commenting on this subject, vice-Con.
sui said: 1.-THE Bolshevists took all the
produce from the farmers last year: so this
year they planted only enough for their
own use and that is gone. The supplies
that are sent by America will be delivered
to the Bolshevists and the sufferers will
have hard time getting any. The cities
are always In want"
The Bolshevik newspapers admit the de-
plorable condition OF the railways and say.
"This Reorganization Of the railway traffic
has become worse, despite efforts of the
Soviet Government to alleviate IL. They
further admit that the famine may be- even
worse than in previous years of Bolsheyist
regime"
The most difficult problem to be solved ia
not the furnishing, but the delivery of food
to the starving. 1t will require great in.
genuity to get It beyond the hands of the
Bolshevist. Mr.. Hoover and his skilled
organization will find great difficulty IN

famine stricken are in the heart of Russia
and under the present deplorable trans.

to four weeks to reach them. Cold weather

can possibly be succored.

heat and drought no rain has fallen for
one hundred days or more and It's greatest
dread is Of a water famine, which up to
this writing was fast approaching. Only
heavy rains can prevent great suffering.
England Is now on water ration. 1t Is
being sold by the bucket by those fortunate
enough to have a well sufficiently deep.
Many wells have already become exhausted
and deeper shafts are being sunk. Inhabi-
tants along the River Shannon in Ireland
are paying one cent bucket for water and
travelling long distances to get It,
Col. ]. B. P. Karslake, chairman Of the
Metropolitan Water Board of London, says.
"The water in the Thames and Lea rivers
is likely to diminish further before it re-
covers and the depleted reservoirs are re-
plenshed Both rivers are very much
below normal particularly the Lea. The
boards present abstraction from the
Thames amounts to about 165,000,000 gal.
Ions per day. This exceeds the boards
statutory right by IS, 100000 gallons The
storage supplies are becoming seriously az
fected Their yields have fallen off con-
siderably."
Surrey, England reports all vegetation.
except roses, burned up.
The agricultural correspondent to the
London Times says: Great Britain is ex.
periencing what the older among us say
resembles the memorable 1868 There has
been nothing comparable with 1t since that
year, unless possibly 1893 and 1911. The
contention Is warranted UP to a point. but
inquiries in an extreme season like this
bring out the limitations of human effort
to overcome natural imperfections or infiu.
ences." .-.
Serious Results in
England and on Continent
A London medical correspondent advises
that all water be boiled, "as drought is hav-
ing its effect on sanitation" Deaths, at.
tributable to the heat, have been reported
from many places; cattle are suffering
heath fires have been started and water
from the villages in the valleys Is being
carted and sold. Drinking water on the
Yorkshire wolds is practically exhausted.
Northamptonshire farmers report their
barley to be complete failure and the
farmers of Kent are cutting theirs for hay.
All crops are very pour. III LOnd0n INES
are being imposed for wasting water.
During the early period of the heat wave
Germany was seriously affected, but good
supply of rain has revived the crops In that
country. Austria has suffered, but to what
extent cannot be learned.
The most reliable information upon at
mospheric conditions over Europe is fur
nished by the maps issued by the London
Meteorological Service, which show that
nearly all of the low pressure areas that
have crossed Europe during the past few
months have followed more northern paral-
lels than has been customary. Some of the
centres Of depression have been we'll within
the Arctic Circle, and, lacking defination
and vigor, have remained practically mo.
tionless over northern Russia and Siberia.
Low pressure areas are, as q general rule,
more progressive over moist land or water.

plains. For that reason Rassia is pecu-
