Cannibalism is daily occurrence in the districts where the famine is most severe. Formerly the pretext that human flesh was being used only to feed the dogs was resorted to, but now all pretexts have been aban- doned.
 Pieces are being cut from dead bodies and roasted for food.
 Children are daily being slain, the flesh stripped from their bodies and the carcasses thrown into the rivers.
 An industrial director, who fled from the famine, tells me that with watch in hand. he saw 2s bodies of children float past in five minutes.
 He says that the voice of a child is seldom heard in the district now. Thirty-six millions of souls, on the verge of starvation, are returning to cannibalism.
 Mothers Eat Children
 The Apocalyptic prophecy of mothers eating their own children is fulfilled a thousandfold amid the richest markets and resources in all the world.
 Conscience, self interest. humanity and profit call with unanimous voice to those who hold the worlds fate in their hands. Russia is in the black ness of night of most terrible hor- TOT.
 And what can be done?
 The reconstruction of this land, ruined beyond precedent, but intrinsi- cally rich, is all humanity's task to undertake and it is a task which calls for an armless crusade and it de- rnands urgently special conference far from Europe's intrigues. Genoa will not do.

 When Mir. Bryan issued that statement. Senator Trammell hast ened bis announcement. As to whether or not Bryan will decline to run or whether the apparent will ingness of Trammell to meet him in the field will quicken his appetite for political conflict, is matter on which the Florida colony in Wash ington is seriously speculating.
 Senator Trammell is a compara- lively young man. He served Florida as it's governor. He is completing his first term in the Senate. He is an effective speaker. and is regarded as one well posted in the arts of politics.

 Treaty Not Renewed
 The treaty of assurance with Rus sia, so useful to Germany and world peace, was not renewed in 1890 be- cause the Czar disapproved of Will helms effeminatA vanity. Folly's summit was reached when to bring the decadent but older and superior Hapsburg dynasty under the vassa- lage of-4the Hohenzollerns, Austro- Hungary was encouraged to war on Russia, though if the war had been successful 1t would have resulted in an impossible Berlin khalifate and dealt imperial Germany severe blow.
 But. as in Nspoleon's time, inn nense Russia proved invulnerable. So our rulers imported bloshevism into Russia and forced the Bresr-Litovsk peace, which was even more cruel than that of Versailles. Then after defeat in the west at the hands of the allies, instead of seeking an honest understanding with the young giant Russia, then capable of quick recovery Germany behaved like a lonely orphan and cut herself off.
 Later efforts to open trade with Russia proved futile, because Mos coN despised our social democrats on account of their behavior during ths after-thewa period.
 BoIshevism in Cesmany
 So. although Germany was not q fertile field for bolshevism because of the unbroken strength of the bonurgeoisie and the fondness of the workers for order the government pretended tlat the greatest dangers threatened and closed every gap in the frontier, while allowing 15o,00o Czarist sympathizers to settle com fortably in Berlin, where apartments l were so scarce they had to buy board ing houses with Swiss and French money.
 Simultaneously the government was hunting bolshevist sympathizers like they were fever bacill. Ot course, Lenine's supporters had secret nests here and brought money and jewels secretly into the country. But this did not help lawful trade relations.
 Now everybody is courting the boi- sheyists, because the government does not fear longer Independent so- cialist or communist opposition. England and France seem to be W.

MINE RELIEF BILL
 NOW IN HANDS OF
 HOUSE COMMITTEE
Bankhead Seeks Showdown on Measure Would Appro- priate $1,000,000 for
 Relief of Sufferers
By HUGH W. ROBERTS Washington Bureau. The AEe-H Hera
 800 Davidson Bull

Washington, February 25.-(Spe- ciaD-The bill of Representative Bankhead of the Tenth Alabama for the relief of the families of miners in Alabama and other states, many of whom it is reported to Washington. are actually suffering from hunger, is before the House committee on appropriations.
 It was originally referred to the committee on mining. But it was that committee which smothered tue bill of Representative Johnson of Kentucky, also intended to relieve suffering miners. So MT. Bankhead urged the speaker to send his bill to the appropriations committee. There quick showdown can be had, and it can be determined without more ado whether the republican admin istration, which voted s24.000.000 for the relief of Russians. is willing to aid the distressed people of this country.
 The bill in all events, would have had to run the gamut of the appro : priation committee, and Mir. Bank head concluded~that he might as well take the bull by the horns" with out jockeying.
 Mines have been inundated in Donets basin. the richest coal region Sea water floods the Baku oil paradise.
 It is virtually impossible anywhere to prepare the land for the nex' harvest. Even in the most favored districts the production has been but one-fifth of the output in 1913.
 Russian Diamonds
 Despite all this the soviet gov ernment still has billions of rubles abroad. It has thrown diamonds or the Berlin market from church. con- vents and private owners until tho Rand mines have poor sale and thc Amsterdam gem cutters are withou work X
 But shall the soviet government whose empire has returned to a fal greater barbarity than ever wa, known under Peter the Great ans Catherine. whose weakened and be wildered masses endure it only as [ punishment from God; shall this gov ernment daily boast that 1t has helt out for over four years and by clevel intrigues in every European capita prevent Genoa from being as result full as Washington
