COL. HASKELL GETS BACK
Says 100000 People in Rus
sia VIII Suffer for Lack
of Winter Clothes.

Three big ocean liners arriving in
this port yesterday were considerably
delayed and extensively damaged by
the unusually high seas encountered
on the run from Europe to America.
All were behind time.
The Cunarder Berengaria, the worst
sufferer, was a day late in making
this bort. According to Capt. A. G.
Smith, the ship passed through the
worst storm he has experienced in his
thirty eight years Of sailing. Wemes-
day a wave more than fifty feet high
carried away thirty-six feet of the
railing and bulwark on the port side
forward Despite this fact the pas
sengers dancing in the saloon were
undisturbed and knew nothing of the
fury Of the storm until the next day,
the ship riding the waves easily, he
added.
on board the Berengaria were Mr..
and Mrs. Solomon Guggenheim MT
Guggenheim is a member of the firm OF
Guggenheim & Bros. and has been IN
England since November and visited has
daughter, the Countess of Castle
Stewart. in Sussex. He also saw for the
first time his grandson, Viscount Stuart
Stewart. fourteen months old.
Col William ii. Haskell, representa-
tive of the American Relief Administra-
ton in Russia, who was accompanied by
John j. Mangin and the Rev. Laurltz
Larson, head of the Lutheran Nationai
Conference and president of the Nor
wegian Hospital of Brooklyn. DIR. Lar
son reported that Germany and Austria
were in the most serious condition OF
any Of the European nations.
Col. Haskell said that conditions in
Russia have vastly improved, with
hardly any famine except in the Voiga
and Ukraine districts. This can be
stamped out soon, he believes. The main
trouble faced by the Russians now is to
get clothing for the winter. More than
1000. 900 Russians are to be cared for
this winter. he said, and of these the
Soviet Government asserts 1t can handle
about 5000, 600. The American Relief
wants to help an equal number, leaving
100000 for other organizations OF the
United States and other nations TO AID.
