Staying OF AGED
AND CHILDREN TO
PREVENT STARVING
Doukhobour Chief Tells
Canadian Authorities
of Necessities
BABIES ARE STARVING
Cows We're Taken to Pay
Off Their Income
Taxes

Nelson, B. c., Feb. 27.-The
Doukhobours Of Canada, otherwise
known as the Christian Community
of Universal Brotherhoods, merely
expressed theoretical advocacy of
Massacre of their children and aged,
according to the explanation now Of
fered by Peter Veregin, president of
the band, in a letter to The Daily
News here. In his letter he express
es some alarm at the apparent indig-
nation of Canadians over the an
nouncement of the sect some days
ago that the members were contem-
plating migration to escape taxa
ton, in which event it might be
found necessary to kill off children
and aged persons who impeded the
progress of the, wanderers.
After apologizing to the Canadian
public, particularly the women, the
Doukhobour chieftain explains that
the children of the colony are on the
verge of starvation, being deprived
of milk through the forced sale Of
cows in 1920 for the payment of
taxes. He protests against income
tax collections totaling $4,000, claim
ing earnings of individual members
to be within exemption limits.
The letter concludes with a plea
for an official inquiry to the end
that the Doukhobour reimbursed for
the roads they have built, and asks
$4,000 loan to be spent in irriga-
ton.

AMERICAN RELIEF MAN
SLIGHTLY WOUNDED BY
PATROL IN PETROGRAO

Moscow, Feb. All. B. Murray,
of Woburn, Mass, connected with
the American relief administration,
suffered slight flesh wound when
fired upon in the street early yes
terday. He was accompanied by a
Mr.. Callahan, of Fall River, Mass.
Whether the shot was fired by a
highwayman or by street patrols
who misinterpreted the actions of
the Americans has not been deter
mined.
Murray and. Callahan were home
ward bound from concert when
they saw a sleigh ahead of them
halted, the occupants with their
hands in the air.
Thinking it was holdup and they
would be the next victims, the Amer
leans jumped from their sleigh and
ran. Several shots were fired at
them, one hitting Murray, who, how
ever, was able to continue running
and reached nearby house, where a
crowd quickly gathered.
Neither one understands Russian,
but they succeeded in making the
patrols, who quickly arrived, under
stand that they were Americans and
we're escorted home.
American relief administration
employees familiar with Moscow are
inclined to the theory that street
patrols had halted the sleigh ahead
of the Americans and fired at the
Americans to stop them for investi-
cation.

All Citizens Interested in
Keeping Them Open
Invited
WILL TRY FULL TERN
Community Is Aroused
to Seriousness of
Situation

Members of the county school board
and the board of trustees of the Pa
latka special school district have call
ed for mass meeting of the citizens
of Palatka att the school auditorium
for a o'clock Wednesday afternoon
for the purpose Of devising ways and
means, if possible, to continue the
school term the full nine months, or
as much thereof as possible. Unless
something is done at once the gram
mar schools will close on March Z.
Intense interest has been aroused
by the school situation, and a num-
ber of citizens have already declared
that they viii bear their proportion
ate part of the expense of keeping the
grammar school open. Commander
B. c. Pearce this morning announced
that the Bert Hodge Post American
Legion would donate $1OO to the fund
to be raised. This, he explained, does
not mean that individual members of
the post will not be expected to do
their part in raising the fund.
If the full school term is to be, r.:c
vided it will require $4,000, this not
to include the colored schools. 1t is
assumed that the colored population
will make an effort to take care of
their school. If it is decided to con-
tinue the school one month it will be
necessary to raise $4,000, as there will
be some additional expense overlap
ing, estimated to be about $500.
Teachers Are Embarrassed.
The closing of the schools at this
time would afford many embarass-
ments, one of the most serious being
to the splendid corps of ,tetachers
which Supervising Principal Cassells
has assembled. Mr.. Cassells declar-
ed that in all of his experience he
had never been associated with
more efficient or industrious faculty
than he has been able to secure for
the Palatka school. They have work.
ed, uncomplainingly, under trying
conditions, each teacher having con-
siderable more responsibility in the
number of pupils than is usually i'm
posed on one. Nearly all of the teach
ers had made their plans for the sum-
mer based on full nine months term,
and there is some question as to whe-
ther or not the district would not be
liable for the amounts due them for
the full term.
The situation in which the Palatka
schools find themselves is no differ
ent from that prevailing in other
communities. Many schools through
out the state have already closed, and
in others public subscriptions were
taken up to defray continuing ex-
penses.
Every citizen in PalatlSa who is in
terested in the question is urged to
be present Wednesday afternoon. The
matter will be brought to the atten-
tion of the Rotary and Kiwanis clubs
at their weekly luncheons and it is
assured that they will do everything
possible TO relieve the situation.

SOVIET READY TO.
SELL B|RTHR|GHT.
FOR MESS POTTAGE
Goes to Genoa Willing
to Grant All Conces-
sions for a Loan
ARMY BEGINS STARVING
American Relief Off
cials Now Treated
With Courtesy
(By Associated Press)

Moscow, Feb. 27.-The soviet del
egation to Genoa will carry instruc-
tions to grant all concessions de-
manded, provided big reconstruc-
tion loan can be obtained. If this
loan cannot be arranged then, from
the Russian point of view, the confer
ence has only the moral value Of
recognition Of the present govern
ment.
The basic reason for this attitude
is the famine 1t is only within the
last few weeks that the leaders of
the soviet have realized just how
desperate is the food situation. So
long as the famine starves to death
the peasants and the remaining
bourgeoisie, though it be on a scale
of millions, the soviet leaders are
untouched and rather indifferent.
But the famine now is slowly and
surely encircling their stronghold
Moscow-and soviet representatives
to every part Of Russia for food re-
port there is less and less to be had;
that, beginning with aMrch, the fa-
ovred red army will begin to starve,
and that each succeeding month will
be worse, until July, when harvests,
more or less scant, may relieve the
situation.
Loan Is Imperative.
What may happen between now
and the summer months is troubling
the soviet leaders. If big loan is
arranged, the situation can be saved.
If not, the hundred million or SO dol
lars in the soviet treasury will have
to go for food, and even that may not
save the country from anarchy.
The frightened attitude of the SOW
let is shown by its daily changing at
titude towards the American relief
administration. When the Ameri-
cans first came in September they
were received with scant courtesy,
but with each month they have been
better treated, until now they are
not permitted, but asked, to direct
food shipments.
If the Moscow leaders do not OBJ
tain outside help they realize that
their power is doomed Already the
Ukraine has shown it's independence
and has flatly refused to let any of
its food be drained off to Moscow or
for the red army stationed else
where.
The Caucasus has some food, but
its attitude is doubtful. In the Ku-
ban, where also is food, hostility to
outside shipments has been active
since last summer.
The soviet governments fears are
indicated in another direction. For
the tim eits Oriental policy has bene
thrown overheard. The recent con-
ference of Far Eastern peoples, call
ed by the third internationale for the
purpose of stimulating communism
in Japan, China and elsewhere, was
given but the seantiest attention in
Moscow. The delegates were poorly
housed and turned over to foreign
office clerks.
