FEAR OF STARVATION
|. IN UKRAINE CAUSES
MIGRATION TO CITIES
(By Associated Press.o

ODESSA, April 24-Fear of starva,
ton in the Ukraine, once regarded as
the richest farming country in the
world, has become so acute that thous-
ands Of peasants are abandoning ev.
erything they possess and flocking to
the cities, where they hope to exc out
an existence until all danger of crop
acquisitions by the Soviets has passed
Hope for better crops this summer
seems to have been lost. Merchants
here who formerly sold agricultural
machinery in the Ukraine are making
no efforts to dispose of their stock.
There will be no crops to speak oe
this year. and next season it will b.
worse" they say.
The Ukraine, commonly called the
"granary of Europe" produced nearly
20,000,000 tons of wheat and cereals
in pre-war years. Its annual yield OF
potatoes averaged 100000 tons In
1914 it marketed 27,000,000 head of
horned cattle, 100000 horses and g.
100000 pigs. 1t also exported coal.
iron and manganese, dairy products
and blooded horses.

British Isles and with a pre-war pop
ulation of 40,000,000, is fast becoming
desolate waste, according to the
refugees. The only reason it has held
together until now, they say, is be-
cause of rich stores of grain accumu-
lated in the days of prosperity, which
were shielded from the Soviet Com
missars on the plea that they must
be used for seed. Now that these are
exhausted, the rich, black earth of the
Ukraine must lie idle and worthless

In this section some 10000 acres OF
grain was sown annually before the
war. Today there is not a sbeaf OF
wheat to be seen. In another section
where $4,000, acres formerly were
sown, there is now 100 acres under
cultivation.

DEMAND FOR BETTER
FREIGHT MOVEMENT
; ON WATERWAYS seen
fBv Associated Press.)

ST. LOUIS, April 24-The need for
the increased transportation facilities
that our waterways would furnish
the people of the Mississippi valley
has become apparent and the demand
for the development of water transpor-
tation is daily growing stronger and
more insistant, according to James
E. Smith, vice-president in charge of
the waterways division of the Mississ-
ippi Valley association, which meets
in Kansas City April rs and 26.
1.-THE improvement and use of our
Valleys waterways will be the. major
feature of the program as the trans
portation problem has become the
most vitality important problem which
now confronts the farmers. manufac-
turers, merchants, and in fact, the
valley producers of every class" Mr..
Smith said
THE great victory that was won in
Congress a few weeks ago, through
which an appropriation of $42.815,000
was obtained for river and harbor i'm
provement for the ensuing year, has
given the people of the Mississippi
valley great encouragement.
Appropriation Provisions
1.-THE appropriation provides for $5,-
100000 to be expended on the Ohio
River, 100000 on the Mississippi
river between ST. Louis and the twin
cities, and for other numerous pro-
jects throughout the Mississippi val
ley.
I'm fact, about 40 per cent of the
total appropriation will be expended
on different waterway projects be-
tween the Allegheny and Rocky
Mountains and the Great Lakes and
the Gulf of Mexico.
THE bill has not yet reached the
Senate, but the strong sentiment that
!, is now behind the bill WILL no doubt,
q secure it's passage when it comes be-
fore the body
The people of the Mississippi val
ley are now determined that the great
Mississippi, Ohio, and Missouri river
projects that were approved and
adopted by Congress in 1912 shall be
completed as quickly as possible.
These projects were begun in 1912
with the declared intention of COM
pleting them within a period of ten
years Those ten years have elapsed
and the work is only from 80 to so
per cent completed, and such mex
cusable delay will no longer be toll

IN THE EYE OF THE CAMERA
By X. o'Daker

acrimonious argument; and, even
now, We are not going to indulge
in unwarranted equine exclamation,
but We do want those ardent sup
porters of the bootleggers' trust to
give pause and, with elbows on
knees and face in hands, chew over
this: Rev. j. II. Williamson, recent
ly dismissed as law enforcer for Chi
cago, $4,000 year position ere
ated by Mayor William Hale Thomp-
son, preached his first sermon yes
terday since he left the city hall,
and assailed conditions in Chicago.
He said Chicago is rotten from its
center to its circumference. He
said there are more than 5000 "heli
holes operating throughout Chicago
under the guise of coffee shops.
And" he added, ''last year Chicago
collected only $4,000 out of $l,944,-
444 of forfeited bonds-most OF
them criminal cases." Before we
step on to the next spasm, we rise
to ask, What do you suppose the
parson was engaged in doing while
he was serving as law enforcement
officer at a salary of $4,000 per
year? Isn't it reasonable to suppose
that he was doing just about what
the greater part Of the $140 per
month federal enforcement officers
are doing? Turn eyes now to San
francisco!-a burg nearer home.
This, from Tuesdays Examiner:
"Seventy-two men, all charged with
being drunk in public place, were
released from the city jail yesterday
morning. They represented the reg
ular Saturday night and Sunday
harvest of the police department.
There is something radically wrong
with prohibition that does not pro-
hibit. The answer? .Easy-dead
easy; but blessed few prohibitionists
will favor adoption of the solution,
for the reason that many men, while
eager to say how their brothers shall
deport themselves, deny to their
brothers the right to regulate their
conduct. If this were not true we
would have a prohibition law that
would penalize the buyer, as well as
the seller; and the bootlegger's bust
ness, instead of picking up, would
go bankrupt in much less time than
it takes to make a gallon of moon
shine.

16 to Nothing
A purse containing thirty-two
counterfeit fifty-cent pieces was
found by some garage employees in
an alley between Third and Fourth
streets, Reno, and was delivered to
the police. Officials of the United
States treasury department were ad-
vised of the discovery by Chief of
Police Kirkley.
In the absence of complaints to
the police, it is not believed there
has been any recent attempt to pass
counterfeit coins in Reno, but an in
vestigation was ordered to ascertain
