RelatiUes StarUe To Death
 In Barren Siberian Wastes
LOUIS A. WOLFE GETS LETTER FROM RUSSIA TELLING OF TRAGEDY.-FATHER MOTHER TWO SISTERS
 AND ONE BROTHER DIE
Two Brothers and One Sister Who Escape Death Reach Pere
 and Sen, Alarm to Kin In America

Countless refugees were driven eastward from their homes into Si- beria, and among them were the Wolfes, the letter states. How long the relatives of the Putnam MT. Wolfe wandered over the desolate regions of Siberia, undergoing the awful hard ships of starvation and freezing cold winters, is not stated in the letter. Only two sisters and one brother sur vived the frightful experiences all were subjected to, these refugee, reaching friends in pitiful condition.
 Letter Tells of Tragedy
 The tragedy and real horror of the World War and it's aftermath are written into every line of the letter that came to Mir. Wolfe. Its pages tell of the terrible sweep of the refu- gees over hundreds upon hundreds of miles of country, separating them from their homes and friends; of their exile in almost boundless Siberia with its endless wastes; of the death of 10000 of these people-by freezing and starvatiop-as by Bolshevik per mission they endeavored to make their way back to Eastern Russia, eat ing grass and bark of trees in their desperate struggle to sustain life un- til they should reach locality where they would receive aid.
 Though the news of the death un- der such terrible conditions of five members of his immediate family. was an awful shock to Mr Wolfe, he had, however. feared the worst, as he was conversant with conditions in Russia and added evidence of some calamity was the non-arrival of any letters from his parents, brothers, or sisters.

The first letter received from Rus s,a in five years by Louis A. Wolfe, Putnam business man, contained the shocking news that his father and mother. two sisters and one brother. had died from cold and starvation in the barren lands of Siberia. The let ter. written in Hebrew, was dispatch ed from Perem by a friend of the family, at the request of two sisters and a brother, who managed somehow to withstand the terrible privations of the Siberia wastes and make their way to friends in Perem. who, with barelv enough to sustain life. are sharing their meagre supplies with the surviving members of the Wolfe fam fly.
 Immediately upon receipt of the letter. Mir. Wolfe dispatched s235 to Russia, through the agencies of food drafts and New York bankers. this fund to be used in sustaining life in his sisters and brothers by providing them with food and elothing-if such are not received too late, for all three of the family arrived in Perem weak, exhausted. penniless and homeless.
