RELIEF WORKERS
TYPHUS VICTIMS
Three Dead, -Four III Of Dread
Disease in Russia.
FAMINE HORRORS GROW
Americans say 100000 May Die Of
Hunger--Piles Of Frozen Bodies
Await Burial.


Moscow. - Russia has begun the
year 1922 with eight months of
unspeakable horror before her and the
terrible dread that next summers crop
may only slightly relieve the gnawing
famine.
At Tsaratsyn, Saratof, Samara, Ufa,
Orenburg and Kaoan, frozen bodies
are stacked high awaiting burial In
trenches which workmen cannot pre-.
pare fast enough for the victims OF
famine, exposure and typhus-and
every day the situation Is growing
worse.
American relief workers, who orig.
inally cautiously placed the number
of probable deaths in the famine area
this winter at 100000, now say that
100000 is a low estimate, and many
say the number may reach 10,000,000
or even more. This is possible par.
ticularly since the shortage Of horses
oxen and camels makes it impossible
to reach the more remote sections and
since it is predicted the typhus cpl
demic probably will be the worst that
Russia has ever suffered.
The Americans are feeding nearly
100000 children, and the British ant
various other organizations are fur
nishing nourishment for at least LOO,
900 under the most dangerous condi
tons.
Dr. Reginald Farrar, Of the cpl
denies commission Of the League Of
Nations Miss Mary Patterson, Of ths
English Quaker Relief Mission. ane
Dr, Guertner of fhes German Rec
Cross, have died within the last weel

Miss Nancy Bobb and William Ken

are Ill with typhus at Busueiuk, near
Saratof, and Anna Louise Strong, OF
English Quaker organization, is reoov

relief administration, is convalescine
from the disease at Ufa.
These cases have occurred among
less than fifty foreign relief workers
lin the famine area, who exerted every
precaution to avoid contracting ty.

throughout all of the Volga region
and in Turkestan that. the soviet gov

service to and from these regions.

frozen bodies, many Of whom were
children, buried in trench at Sara.

refugee children, underfed and scan.
THY clad, are riding from the famine
area In such pitiable condition that
the living children are worse off than

The soviet government has agreed
ito grant the American relief admins

locomotives, required to move the sup
plies which the $20,0OOO0O Just ap
propriated by the United States viii
provide. 1t is estimated that 2g0 cars
and five locomotives will be required
daily for forty days.

Bolshevist government are giving the

CHORAL CLUB NEWS

The work of Prof. Frank Charl-
ton with the local Choral Club since
Christmas has been splendidly sup
ported, Notwithstanding the unfav-
orable health conditions, bad wea-
ther, etc., and creditable progress is
being made. About fifty voices are
in training preparatory to spring
concert to be given at Easter. A
choral club is very progressive
and ambitious movement for town
the size of Mt. Sterling. 1t is being
conducted here more successfully
than in many of the larger places.
Our neighboring city of Lexington
has long wanted choral society,
and recognizing the fact that the
cultural value of the work is not
alone to those who are taking the
training, but to the community at
large, her newspapers and leaders
in educational circles strongly en-
dorse such an organization for their
community.
All the churches in Mt. Sterling
are working together in the choral
club and the song service in the va
rious churches shows marked i'm
provement.
The enterprising spirit manifested
by those who are making the cho-
raj club success is the spirit that
is responsible for Mt Sterling's
progress along civic lines. Every
body can contribute to the success
of this fine work by taking enough
interest to boost and encourage
those engaged in making the choral
club a credit to Mt. Sterling.
