19,OOO,OOO PEOPLE
 ARE STARVING
15.OOO,O ,OOO Are in Danger of Death in Russia From Lack of Food
 Supply.

Geneva, Jan. 26. (By Associated Press)-Nineteen million persons are suffering intensely for want of food in Russia, and 15,000,0o0 will cer- tainly die unless succored, Dr. Fridtjof Nansen told the League of Nations in ternational committee on relief in Russia here yesterday. Dr. Nansen said he was dissatisfied with the way in which the Russian government had acted under the agreement signed on August 27 the transportation situa- ton especially leaving much to be de- sired.
 In giving the new details of the sit uation in Russia, he declared that the total population affected was 33,000,- 900. It was now too late to save all even if the workers were able to use the railroad lines at full capacity. As a matter of fact it would only be pos sible to move 600 tons of cereals be- tween now and the harvest, which even if nothing were withheld for seed, could only save G,000,000 or r. 000,000 persons.
 Furthermore the committee had in sufficient funds at present to buy the necessary stocks the 2S,000,000 gold francs at it's disposal being inadequate More funds must be raised before the month of May after which all help would be in vain.
