No one who has not seen the suffer-
ing OF the Russian peasants in the
present famine that is sweeping large
areas in that country can understand
how ghastly 1t Is, said F. J.. Thomp-
son. who since last April has been In
charge of the Brest Litovsk- Pinsk area
for the American Relief Adminis.ra-
tion's children's fund. Mr.. Thompson
arrived In London last night
When l left Brest-Litovsk refugees
Of about 1000 day." he continued.
IT believe there will be a million ond
a half of them there soon. And it Is

fare, until no crops and very few
houses are left. These people have
nothing save ramshackle dugouts In
on their hands and knees to beg food.
They were too weak to stand.

their bodies have become swollen and

their dugouts % die. because. through
weakness and swollen feet. they could
rot walk.
AT one to@i / saw ten OF the
wealthiest families there living on bread
made of straw. grass and mud. ] could
not swallow the mixture. Thousands
are living on grass which, with roots
boiled in water. make thin unpalatable
soup. Occasionally. II there are any
trees in the vicinity of a village. they
will add a few dcorns to their soup.
This country has been the arena OF
warfare since 1914. There has been
no opportunity to grow crops. The
whole country Is devastated.
'In one village a refugee staggered
to me. He spoke English and said that

asked him.
because l was a fool, he replied.
He had arrived in Russia with $500.
which the Bolsheviki took and gave
him in return 100000 roubles. That
day he paid $4,000 roubIes for a uttIe
piece OF bread, but in many places
roubles will not buy anything
The country is infested with verTnin.
Comforts as we know them simply do
not exist. One day / had tea with
several princes--in a stable.
AT one village found an aged woman
who was dying of starvation. She begged
me for the equivalent of two pennies 10

Mr.. Thompson declared that The Boil
shevist troops In the famine area are In
o miserable plight and in many cases
rely for sustenancc entirely on the fish
they can catch.
And this area, know, big as it is
represents only small part OF the
stricken country" he added. II went
through districts where tho people had
never seen a motor car. They shrank

Dir. Crafts stated that Maj. Harry

The blame for increasing crime
