Russia Pinning Hopes on U. S.
Relief to Pull Through
Famine Horror.

RIGA. Sept. 5.-The Soviet govern
ment has ordered infant relief homes
established in all Russian cities to
feed the millions of starving babies in
the eleven famine districts. It Is es-
timated that more than: 5000, 900
babies are threatened with starva-
tion, and that half of them win have
to be evacuated from the zones where
their parents have been living.
Russia Ii rpinning her chief hope
can relief organization. Already ef-
ficient assistance is being given in
some quarters by the Americans. Fol-
lowing the receipt Of ten provision
transports at Moscow ten new
bakeries were opened and the bread
was given away free, Of charge with
out even q bread card. The free dis.
tribution caused the price in the Rus
sian bakeries to fall from 1000 to
1000 roubles per pound. a. - -.
To Resume Racing.
The Soviet government Is making
every effort to give financial and ma.
terial help independent Of the assist.
snce from abroad. All the Russian
cities, and especially Moscow, are, ar
ranging charity festivities for the
famine sufferers in the Volga region.
Renowned artists are taking part, and
already several millions Of Russia.n
roubles have been collected. 80
For the first time in four years
hores racing will be resumed Upon the
famous Chodynka course where, at
the coronation of the Car thirty years
ago, several thousand people were
crushed to death. Fifteen race meets
will be run off this month, all the pro-
ceeds going to the starving Russians.
The entrance fee Is 10000 Soviet
roubles.
All the manufacturers in Russia are
sacrificing one days production for
relief purposes. p

Trains with moving picture ma

the proceeds will be turned over to
the starving.
The famous Russian singer, Chalia-

the proceeds from his concerts for the
Russian relief fund.
The misery Is SO extreme and wide
