A WORD oF SYMPATHY

"It was with the deepest regret that I read in the New York papers of the death of MT. Edward W. Barrett, editor of The Age-Hearld," :" writes Lois Willoughby, formerly one of the best known newspaper women in the east, and now manager for Frieda Hempel, to Dolly Dalrympe.

Because of my friendship with you I have a double interest in The Age-Herald, for first of all, admire the paper and it's policy, and l have genuine personal interest in it.

TWO OF A KIND

TWO OF A KIND The most contented mortal whom I've ever yet beheld Was sitting on a fence rail in the broiling summer sun; He told me 'gainst the filings of fate he never had rebelled 4 And that would be his attitude until his race was run. The longest trip he'd ever made was twenty miles or so- , He had to go to "cote," he said, up at the county seat; About this busy, changing world he didn't care to know, We'll pleased if in the twelve months round he got enough to eat. Close by, beneath stunted bush, lean cur lay asleep, His life was ordered, so I thought, upon the sefsame plan; Save that we say soul doth in the human body keep, There was but little choice between the mongre and the man.

FAMINE RELIEF

"The famine conditions on the
Volga," said DR.. Nansen. in recent
interview, "surpass all our pessim-
say that DR.. Farrar (the representa-
tive of the English relief commits
Sion). who accompanied me thither.
and who has had experience of fam
inc in India, Africa and Asia, had
never before witnessed such a ter
rible nightmare. or such tragic sights
as those he saw in the Volga area"
Together they had visited num-
Der of feeding centers. children's
homes, hospitals, and large number
of cillages. DR.. Nansen discovered
that the majority of peasants leave
their huts only to go for water, and
they live on what is left of the straw
collected in the autumn. This they
grind in stone mortars, together with
sunflower seeds, bark and clay, and
then mix with flour made of the
bones of dead animals. There are
practically no domestic animals left
in the villages. A few households
have one horse left, but these are so
weak that they cannot keep on their
legs. In the Saratov province, which
has no forests, there are not even
mara province as an important sub
roots. which serve in parts of the Sa-
stitute for food.
In the German Volga commune,
conditions are very bad. In many
cottages corpses of people who had
died of hunger are to be found They
lie unburied for days, because the
other members of the family are too
weak to go out to report or bury
them. In a number of huts whole
families are on the point of death,
among them strewn the corpses of
those who had already died of hun
ger.
In the Buzuluk district the fam
me conditions are more terrible than
in other parts of the famine area.
In spite of the considerable relief
work that is being done, the number
of people suffering is so great that
it will be impossible to save even half
of the children of the district from
death by starvation.
Not less than 500 truckloads of
food are required in the Volga area
to provide a bare pound of food per
day per person. In addition. medi-
cal stores. drugs and fodder are
needed. The Volga district requires
170,000,000 pounds 100000 tons) of
food for human consumption. The
district, although formerly the gran
airy of Russia, has produced only
100000 pools this year, leaving a
deficit of 124.000,000 pools (2,132,-
900 tons) which must be provided
elsewhere.
What country can better provide
it than America with her huge sur
ulus of grain?
Soviet Russia is in a crisis. The
next two OF three months will decide
her fate. Relief activity must be
deeply intensified. widely expanded if
Russia is to be saved
The executive committee of the
Friends of Soviet Russia has decided
that one of the most vital ways of
extending and intesifying the work
lies in organizing the special talents.
the intense enthusiasms, the living
sympathies and unbounded energies
of the working class women of Amer
lea. Therefore, a plan is under way

questions affecting world organiza-
ton, reduction of ornaments and
permanent peace.
1t has a legislation committee to
study measures before congress from
the point of view of their influence
for or against war.
1t holds international forums in
Washington and elsewhere.
1t arranges meetings through its
speakers bureau. and places speak
ers throughout the country.
1t issues fortnightly bulletins Civ
ing the trend of thought with rela-
ton to the objects of the Council.
1t complies photographers of re-
cent books related to the movement
1t prints and distributes illumin-
ating posters on the cost of war
1t has begun an intensive organi-
cation campaign forming local and
state Councils to reach the smallest
communities.
It's second task is the development
of an international organization of
peace groups already begun with
England and Japan.
It's third task is to suggest lines
of concerted action to member-organi-
cations.
This program is constantly develop
ing.
The work of the Council is sup
ported by individual contributions.
