Famine Condition in
Cape Verde Islands

Lisbon, Jan. 15.-Many residents of
the Cape Verde Islands are advocating
an appeal TO foreign countries for re-
lief from the famine conditions which
have prevailed there for many
months, says Joaquin de Macedo, an
engineer, who has just returned from
The Hands. The Cape Verdes are con-
trollcd by Portugal but the people de-
clare that the mother country appears
to have forgotten it's colony and to
have left thousands of Portuguese to
die of famine.
Senor Macdea described conditions
in the islands as horrible. He said
that 200 persons had died each day in
the town of Praia in the summer
months when the famine was at its
worst and that the bodies were left
unburied to be devoured by dogs, raw
ems and hyenas. The people, like liv-
ing skeletons, staggered about the
streets until they fell dying. The pop
ulation of one island, he said, had been
reduced by one-third and the silent
deserted streets "resembled a gigantic
metropolis"
The chief cause of the famine was

Questioning Poland's Right

Riga, Jan. 15.-The Latvian govern
ment has become irritated by Poland's
attempt to prevent free transit of for
cign passengers through the Danig
corridor without Polish vises on their
passports. The Latvians questioned
Poland's right to this partial closing
of the corridor and declare Poland's
action is in direct contradiction to the
terms of the Versailles Treaty which
set lis the famous corridor giving Po-
land access to the sea.
Poland's practice in demanding that
foreigners crossing the corridor must
have Polish vises on their passports
has caused complaint by travellers be-
tween the Baltic states-Lithuania
Esthonia and Latvia-and Wester''
Europe for more than year.
For many months Polish genoa
merle have boarded trains at the
trance and exit to the corridor that d
vides Germany into two parts and il
many instances. have elected passen-
gers who did not have the Polish vises,
even when they were only in transit
through the corridor between coun
tries OF both sides Of it. An Ameri-
can traveller was required to pay the
equivalent of $40 for his Polish wise.
Mrs. William H. Haskell, wife of
Colonel Haskell, head of the American
Relief Administration in Russia, re-
Gently complained to the American
Commission in Riga because of ex-
pcr,cnccs she underwent at the hands
cf Polish customs examiners while
crossing the corridor.
Now Polish authorities have closed
the corridor absolutely to Latvian cit
Zcns by refusing to visa their pass
ports. Latvians who desire to trayr.
to Western Europe have to take :;

l see in the paper something about
our representatives employing be-.
weevil expert and just wanted tv
know something about ii lam awav
out here trying to rum la little one
horse farm and cant keep up with

this work be done b the county
demonstration agent? Or is his work
so heavy he can't do It? do rot
know Mr.. Wood, or whoever the agent
is, but it seems to me that he would
be the best man to do this work and
l guess he knows as much about the
boil weevil as any one here amongst
us. ~
Mr.. Editor, you give US enough adj
vice to revolutionize the farming bus
mess if it were given more heed, and
there is Moxy with his round of adj
vice, four or five times week and you
both are expected to keep it up; it is
in your line of business and the most
Of US are benefited by your advice, just
in proportion to how near it comes to
our own idea Of things, and let me
tell you, the best thoughts culled from
the best authority and given to US by
our county paper and few examples
&c how to do it by our county agent
is all the advice we need The poor
farmer has been deluged with advice
from every vocation in life since can
remember. A lot of it was paid for
at big price and lot of it has been
apparently free, as we had nothing
to do but hold our hold till the other
fellow could spit in his hands.
Now, since our taxes have been
higher, higher, higher, we have to
lower them by adding another bur-
den?
Now that brings me to the point |
want to get at: Is this new office a
salaried position? Who is this new
man we are fixing for, amt he the
same man that has always been say
ing something about reducing taxes?
Aain't he the same man who ran
against Cole Lyles for the legislature
once, away back yonder and was elect
ed on that platform and when he was
put on committee to do that work I
think we were raised about 1-2 mill?
Now the next point want to know:
If 1T is a salaried Office, who pays the
bill? Does it come out the county
agents fund? Does the delegation
pay him out of funds provided for out
side Of our taves or does the delega.
tion have right to employ any one
to carry on any work without consult
ing any one else? Now am not ask
ing these questions in spirit of crit
icism nor to get up newspaper con-
troversy, but would be glad, Mr. Edi-
tor, if you could just tell me privately
some time when come to town. You
see l get your paper regularly and
when see things of this kind it gets
me to trying to think and the more l
think the more mixed up get and
then go to asking questions, and
when my neighbors come in and be-
gin to ask me things ! don't know
about I tell them if they raise my
taxes SOC more I reckon I will have
to try to pay it and one Of them said
"D-d if it didn't look like thai
that straw was the one that was going
to break the cameps back"

NOT LEAVING CITY
Near East Relief Head Denies
Reports of Flight.
But Supplies and Orphans Are
Ready to Move.

New York, Nov z5.-Charles v.
Vickrey, general secretary of the Near
East Relief today denied that his or
ganization had abandoned Constarti-
nop1e as a base of supplies and as an
orphanage center. Such a step has
been indicated in press dispatches.
I'VE are in constant communication
with Constantinople by cable" Mr..
Vickrey said. Though tentative plans
have been drawn up for the transfer
of workers, children, and supplies in
the event that the situation demands
it, these plans are of a purely precau-
nature,
1.-The only workers who have left
Constantinople for Greece are three
experts sent to look over the ground
in case it becomes necessary to put
these plans into effect.
THE only orphans moved from the
city were 400 from orphanages which
we were obliged to close on the Ash
attic side of the Bosphorus. We have
still approximately 10000 more in the
city who will remain there unless con-
ditions force their removal. The 1900
additional youngsters reported on their
way to Greece are from Samsoun and
other points in the interior of Asia
Minor.
THE warehouses where our supplies
are stored lie directly on the Bos-
phorus. Their contents can be moved
by steamer to whatever destination
circumstances may require in a few
hours. Near East Relief has boats
chartered if evacuation of orphans and
workers should become necessary, but
our people will not leave the city as
long as it is possible for them to re-
main there"
