Berlin, july 90.
Famine in the Volga region OF Rus
STA is threatening 25,000,000 persons
there with hunger. starvation and
plague, it was declared by the Soviet
Bureau here to-day. The bureau sup
piled data showing that the famine
was comparable only with the great
dearth which swept Russia in 1891 and
in which thousands persisted. 1t in
Dictated that the Moscow Soviet Gov
ernment was ready to extend every
possible aid to help in the relief work,
which must be undertaken immediate
ly if it is to reach the necessary pro-
portions before Petrograd harbor and
river transportation into the interior
are closed to shipping by the ice early
next November.
Soviet Rule I'm Peril.
Attention here was called to the re-
lief organization in Moscow which Is
now being established under the initia-
tive Of some of Alexandra Krensky's
one-tme Russian Ministers, who have
given guarantee to foreign countries
that 1t would be a straightforward hu-
manitarian project. Among them are
NM. ProkopoWitch, Kuskoff and Kish-
kin, who approached the Soviet Govern
ment regarding the proposed relief work
through Maxim Gorky.
Thousands of peasants are fleeing
from the Volga region, going eastward
and southwark, meanwhile living on
slaughtered cattle and, when this food
supply was exhausted. on herbs and the
bark from trees.
According to the Rote Fahne, the Ger
man Communist organ, the downfall OF
the Russian Soviet Government unless
means are found to prevent the starva-
ton of large numbers of persons because
OF the crop failure is threatened. An
official despatch from Moscow. the news
paper says verifies reports that the sit
uation is most serious.
During the last year the Russian
cities have suffered hunger and COM
plete economic DISCRIMINATION. and the
destruction of traffic between cities
makes the task of feeding now exceed
ingly difficult" the Rote Fdhne declares.
The newspaper expresses the fear that
the "capitalistic countries will take adj
vantage Oh tne confused cOnOltlOnS 10
cause new military action against Rus
sla."
The danger Is not only from the FAM
inc but from the spread of cholera. which
appeared in the territory controlled by
the Russian Soviet Government last
spring. 1t was asserted that there are
now 5000 cases of cholera in Russia,
the epidemic having assumed most resi-
Gus proportions after the exodus from
the regions in which the drought pre-
vailed began. The epidemic now threat
ems TO spread and to become even more
menacing as a result of the inability of
the Soviet authorities to control the
emigration.

The famine is due almost wholly to
the brought. Since last October the
rainfall in Russia has averaged about
one-fourth of normal. The drought

about enough to lay heavy dust.

One OF the most attractive car
rides out Of Washington is the one
to Glen Echo Park up along the
Maryland side of the Potomac, with
the palisades of the Potomac tower

run from the heart of the city at
frequent intervals. just a couple of
minutes apart during the amuse-

highly recommended. This as a side

Imposing Cast Seen
In "Peter Ibbets0n."
Nelr Paramount Film

The screen version of Peter Ib-
betson," production OF which has
been started at the Paramount east
ern studio under the direction OF
George Fitzmaurfce, is declared to
be the most pretentious picture pro-
duced in the company's eastern
studio this year.
Headed by Elsie Ferguson and
Wallace, Reid, as stars. the cast fol
the picture is the most imposing
ever gathered for a Paramount pic
ture with the possible exception of
THE Affair. of Anatol." Elliott
Dexter, Montagu Love. George Faw.
cett. and Paul McAllister play the
principal male roles outside the title
which Reid will have. The two
feminine parts, next in promine nee
to the Duchess of Towers" which
Miss Ferguson will do, will be
played by Miss Barbara Dean and
Miss Vivian Oakland:
A half dozen or more youngsters
will be seen in the irst part of the
picture. Little Gogo Pasquier. who
grows up to be Peter Ibbetson,'''
will be played by Charles Eaton,
eight years old. Nell Buck. an
eight-year-old edition of Elsie Fer
Guson. will be "Mimsey," the little
girl who becomes the Duchess OF
Towers" later in the story.
The opening scenes for the pic
ture are being filmed in a most ar
tistic setting-a French garden in
the village OF Passy, a suburb of
Paris. All four seasons OF the year
will be shown in the garden, open
ing with springtime.
The two mirrors that are to be
installed in the ballroom at Glen
Echo Park have arrived and within

Imposing Cast Appears in
'Peter Ibbetson" Picture
Elsie Ferguson, Wallace Reid and Others
Co-Starred in Fitzmaurice Version.

Motion pictures are changing the
faces Of American men and women.
This is the belief of Henry Give,
well-known artist, who has just
completed portraits of a number of
famous film stars. including Gloria
Swanson, Bebe Daniels, Wallace
Reid, Agnes Ayres and Wanda
Hawley.
Motion pictures are making the
American face more mobile. more
plastic" said Mr.. Give. Because
Of the necessity OF interpreting
thoughts and actions entirely by
means Of facial expression. film ac-
tors have developed faces which
register emotions as quickly as the
surface OF a placid lake records the
passage of a summer breeze. This
IS not only true Of actors and &C
tresses. but its effect is seen in the
faces OF millions Of movie fans.
Gloria Swanson's feminine admirers
have acquired all the facial manner
isms which Miss Swanson shows on
the screen. Wallace Reid's manner
Of lifting his eyebrows has set all
lifting their eyebrows, too.
For years observers. both here
and abroad, have declared that the
typical American face was rather
stern and set This was true-until
the movies came to be such a power
and influence. 1t is true no longer;
the American is becoming as facial
ly expressive as the Frenchman or
the Italian"
Mr.. Give. whose paintings have
for a long time decorated the covers
OF popular magazines, will give an
exhibition of his portraits of screen
Etars In a Fifth avenue gallery next
fall.

Famous Sailing Ship Sunk
To Make Film Atmosphere"
"The Sturdy" Wrecked OFF Oregon Coast
After Big Fight for Camera.

The historic old sailing vessel.
Sturdy was sunk in the Pacific, a
martyr to the cause of the films
The vessel that has seen service for
half a century. plying between Pa
Pacific Coast ports, was sunk far of
the Oregon shore for one Of the
spectacular scenes for Metros spe-
cial production of "Uncharted Seas
which will be the featured attrac-
ton at Moore's Rialto Theater all
week. beginning today.
This story, written by John Flem-
ing Wilson. describes a terrific fight
Of members Of the crew Of ship
engaged in an Arctic exploration
expedition. In order to reproduce
it for the screen with the wealth or
action pictured by Mr.. Wilson, 1t
was necessary to find a crew of men
who were not afraid to board a
vessel that was to be sunk. and
were hardy enough to swim the Pa
cific at a point where it was clogged
with ice.
The crew. as finally signed by Dr.
rector Wesley Ruggles, included
kid" Wagner. well-known light
weight pugilist. and veteran sailors
who had seen service in hazardous
expeditions from Alaska to South
American ports.
The Sturdy sailed to the point
In the Pacific where the scene was
to-, be taken. The fight was staged
with such realism that several Of
the battered sailors required the
plunge into the icy water to revive
them
Then came a rending OF timbers,
and the vessel broke in two in the
middle Sailors leaped into the icy
waters as the wreck disappeared in
what probably is one Of the most
spectacular marine pictures ever
filmed.

GIGANTIC SWINDLES ARE
BLOCKED BY U. S. AGENTS
Banks, Bond Houses and Security
Brokers from Coast TO Coast
Victims Of Gang.

Chicago-Worthless notes, stolen
bonds. fraudulent deeds of trust and
forged certificates OF deposit running
into untold millions Of dollars have

clared to have been victims OF one OF

The revelations resulted from a de-
tailed confession accredited to Alva
w. Harshman, said to have been a
private secretary to French. and who
surrendered to federal officials.
1t was also revealed that the band
was operating in Kansas City. Ac-
cording to John V, Clinnin, acting
district attorney, all Of the notes IS
sued by the band were disposed or by
the Securities Company OF kansas
City. That organization, he said

French, a man named Middleton and
a Chicago attorney, David H. Robin.
Mr.. Clinnin said that he would ask
warrants for the arrest Of Middleton
and Robin.

this bureau would enable the govern

where they can do much harm, unless
their claws and teeth are pulled.
One pleasing thing about the doc.

some s~oreheads, from whom the
