starved or were eaten by famished
peasants.
Unless sufficient relief is sent, the
famine In some districts this winter
threatens to be even worse than that
of last year. due to the fact that tho
peasants then consumed the greater
part OF the resources which they had
accumulated in the past. In addition
to losing their stock, they were forced
TO use many of their matched roofs
TO make either -four or fodder. while
they also sold most of their furniture
and their belongings In order to &c
cure food. This winter their only
hope will lie in receiving relief from
abroad.
