Terms Once Refused.
Attention was called here to the
fact that terms similar to those de-
manded by Herbert Hoover as the
condition of American famine assist
ance were refused to the Swedish
Red Cross. Before the Russian fam
inc became acute that organization
through its president, Prince Charles
OF Sweden, offered to send relief sup
plies to Russia in charge Of a
Swedish commission. According to
Prince Charles, the Soviet authori-
ties would accept the offer only on
condition that the supplies be turned
over to Bolshevist officials. without
any foreign control, once they had
entered Russia. These terms were
refused by the Swedish Red Cross,
which was convinced that larger
part of them would go to fatten So
Wet functionaries only.
Mr. Lu, a brother OF a one time Chi
nese Ambassador to Russia has just
arrived here after trying for ten
months to escape from Petrograd,
where he was connected with the Red
Cross. He said that at least 100000
persons will perish in the Russian
famine. which he characterized as
worse than any in China.
Starving persons are already coming
into Moscow from the stricken dis
trict.. The fight to the towns, which
are themselves without food is one OF
the worst features of the famine.
Millions May Perish.
Mr.. Barraud. an Englishman and
head of the Save the Children Fund,
who has just reached Reval. said he
had personally Investigated the fam
inc in Russia and that millions there
would perish. He declared the Boil
sheviki themselves were very scared
and had promised to allow foreigners
who were administering relief funds
to administer them as they pleased
This Is a surrender of Bolshevist
stand heretofore obstinateiy held to-
that foreign relief in Russia must be
administered through Soviet institu-
tions. He said that the church also
would be allowed to administer Rus
sian relief directly.
Official Bolshevist figures regarding
the cholera outbreak in connection
with the famine state that up to July
13 there were 27.7s0 cases. compared
with 13,476 cases reported up to July
s. The epidemic was reported to be
most severe in Kuban, in the Black
Sea district. in the Don province. in
voronezh, Orel. Astrakhan and Sara
toff.
The cholera epidemic has a strong
grip in the towns. seven hundred and
twerity-three cases were reported In
Rostoff- on the Don and hundreds OF
cases in Petrograd. Moscow. Kief and
Kharkoff. The medical department OF
the Red army is entirely occupied
combating the disease. which. with the
famine. probably will be most acute In
three weeks.
