RELIEF WORKERS SAYS
FAM|sHED RUSSIANS
RObBINC CEMETE

LONDON, June S.-A shocking
story of despair, death and cannibal-
ism in Russia was narrated to The
Associated Press yesterday by VIM.
Shafroth, son of former Governor
John Shafroth of Colorado, who has
arrived here after a years work
with the American Relief admins
tration in the Russian famine re-
gions.
The desperate people are eating
human beings, diseased horses. dogs
and cats, he said. Cemeteries are
being dug up and long buried bodies
snatched as food. In their hunger
madness the population are stealing
bodies from morgues and hospitals
to eat as food
Mr.. Shafroth, who had charge of
10000 Russians working for the
American relief administra ton in
the Samara district, is lean and
emaciated after his arduous work,
but he gave ample proof that the
famine sufferers did not try to seize
him for culinary purposes as had
been reported while he was in
Russia. lie declared. however, that
a Russian member of the Ara, who
died of typhus, was disinterred at
night and eaten by the crazed in
habitants. This gave rise to the
report that Mr.. Shafroth had been
devoured.
In some respects the young Amer
leans narrative is unequalled even
by the tragic pictures in Daniel De-
Foes journal of the plague year.
81 know one instance" said Mr..
Shafroth, where a distracted mother
of five children killed the youngest
in order to appease the pangs of the
rest of the youngsters; but the
oldest, boy. cried bitterly when
he saw his mother sever his little
brothers head and place the body
into a pot. He refused to eat the
flesh.
without saying anything regard
ing the feeling of the government" ("
said Shafroth, II can tell the people
at home that Russia's population is
genuinely and fervently grateful to
the United States. America is a
holy name in Russia and Americans
are regarded as super beings. People
fall on their knees and kiss the
earth upon which the relief workers
walk The United States can have
a solemn feeling of pride in saving
the Russian race from extinction

ers to not be late at the ring side as
experts that amt prompt on that
occasion will not be able to tell their
readers what happened only by
hear say.
The English public is use to see
= ing Carpenter get through with his
matches in l rd. and they are going
to see the same again, only this
time Georges himself won't be
amongst those that witnesses the
finish as he will be studying can
vases at close range.
The terms of this match is that
Dempsey is to receive 100000 pounds
and Carpenter is to receive $4,000
pounds. This gives Dempsey a ad-
vantage of 10000 pounds or about
the same like he had at Jersey City.
1t is said that Jack is scared to
death about this match as he breads
ocean travel.
The way this match come to be
made was on acct. of the impressive
showing which Carpenter made in
his fight with Lewis. Everybody
thought Lewis would last we'll into
the I'd, rd. but with the referee hold
ing Lewis in his loving arms, Georges
cut loose with a terrific waIlop that
good night Lewis.
This certainly come like a big sur
prise to the experts to see a man
the size of the Frenchman lay out a
man the size of Lewis with one
punch as this Lewis is even bigger
than Jackie Coogan
Why They Wait a Year
It is a well known fact that if
Lewis had of won the match he was
going to be matched with Benny
Leonard and the winner Of that fight
was going to be matched with Tom
Thumb and the winner Of that brutal
affair would of been signed up for a
brawl with a gnat.
Whereas Carpenters victory en-
titles him to a match with Dempsey
and the winner of this match will
hook up with a supper dreadnaught
and whoever gets the best of that
argument will take on the A. A. r.
in one ring. So any way the Car
pentier-Lewis fight had come out it
was going to lead to one champion
ship match after another.
Jokeing to one side some of my
readers may wonder why this next
big contest amt booked for date
in the fall instead of them waiting a
yr. to stage it. Well friends amt
DCtil lOOh 4iAO iiOuOtly > CO1IlQ61IS
but it looks to me like they figured
that maybe in a yr. Georges will of
grew up and got his full strength or
else that Dempsey would catch some
wisteing disease like shingles and
loose 80 or 40 pounds mostly off his
shoulders.
Or maybe they figure that by that
time. Jack viii of contracted pyor-
rhea and his jaw won't be so tough
that when you hit him full force
you don't break nothing but your
thumb
Or it is just possible that they
count on Jack falling in love with
Peggy between now and then so that
by the time he crawls in the ring
with Georges he will be in a mood
to drop his guard and say you may
fire when you are ready Gridley

thing like as follows:

Georges is at liberty to knock him

2. If Dempsey lasts .rd. VS.. this
attack, why when he gets up for the

thumb and use the other hand to

and use all his limbs.

4. If the fight goes into the 4th.
rd. the man that strikes the 1st. blow
will be declared the winner. BY this
time Dempsey will probably be bored
enough to of fell asleep.
These kind of rules might even up
the match and then of course they's
always the possibility of it being
foggy in London so that Georges
might be invisible vile you couldn't t
miss a big hulk like Dempsey.

But anyway it is bound to be

spectators will be of the sex that
has got intuition. 1t was their in

win the last time and they will be
there pulling for him again. You
can't fool woman's intuition all the
time. Only 80 per cent.
However, if the greek god don't
cop this time, why it is the present
plan to match him up in a fight with
a nit and If he gets the best of the
nit, why that will qualify him for
another whack at Dempsey. This
bout will be held in Berlin yrs.
from now and after that the sched-
ule will take the boys around the
world moveing from west to east

ALBANIAN GIRLS
BAN TROUSERS IN
FAVOR OF SKIRTS

Tirana. Albania, April a.
Trousers as national costume
for Albanian women are TO dis
appear within the next gener-
alton. The Mohammedan moth
ers have decreed this after
seeing the smart, comfortable
and sensible dresses worn by
the women members of the
American Red Cross mission
here and observing the results
of their work among the girls.
Immediately after arriving
in Tirana the American nurses
turned their attention to the
proper clothing of the destitute
poor, especially the young girls,
whom they supplied with
dresses, petticoats and shoes in
place of their baggy trousers
Of calico, coats OF sheepskin
and crude moccasfns.
The girls and their mothers
were so delighted with the
change that this mode Of at
tire has become general in the
capital and is now spreading
throughout the country, dis
placing the Turkish style
which has been in vogue five
i centuries.
