Pleading Russia
Sells Her Grain
Says Petrograd Has 35,-
900 Tons Ready to
Export

New York, Feb. 23.-Shiploads
of foodstuffs are being exported
from Russia by the oSviet Gov
eminent while appeals for S,000,-
900 starving Russians are being
sent out and answered all over
the world, according to James &.
Wash of 81 East 'SiXty-ffth st,
who has just returned from Rus
STA, where he served with the
American Relief administration.
Mr.. Walsh left Moscow on Jan.
II, and sailed from HelsingforS,
Finland.
81 was told at Runkle, Fin
nish border town." said Mr..
Walsh, that ffty-four carloads
of grain $50 tonS) were expect
ed the next day, and that during
the month preceding nay arrival
total of POS carloads (3,045 tons)
had passed over the Russian Dor
der. But the most startling fig
ures given me were those dealing
with future deliveries of grain
from country which then was
passing through famine. 1t was
said that the SoviSetS were start
ing to ship from Petrograd alone
more than 1000 tons of grain and
that for spring and summer de-
livery they would have available
$4,000 TONS"
The only raw material accepted
by the Soviet Government in ex-
change for grain, Mr.. Walsh
said, was print paer, and that if
they were unable 70 exchange the
grain for print paper the So
viets demanded payment either in
Finnish marks or American dol
lars. Mr.. Walsh declared that
the export figures obtained by
him tailed with those furnished

States Minister to Finland. Mr..
WALSH served in Mbinsk, Eliza
bethgrad and Saratov for the
American Relief Administration.
He began his relief work in Rus
STA last April.
From Odessa the Soviet Gov
eminent has exported more than
$4,000 tons of grains of differ
ent kinds, according to informa-
ton gathered by Investigators.
Reports from Petrograd indicate
that Mr.. Walsh's figures on food
exports were probably too con-
servative. These shipments in

self, where starvation has made
its greatest ravages. The ex-
ports from Petrograd, it is said,
went to Finland and to the Sean
dinavian countries. The bulk of
the food exports from Odessa is
said to have gone into Germany.
From Novorossisk, an import
ant port on the northeast. side of
the Black Sea, the Russian Gov
eminent is said to have shipped
$4,000 tons Of rye, barley and
wheat. Investigators have OBJ
tanned copies of a statement by
Klishkho, representative of the
All-Russiah cooperative Organic
alton, who said that the Soviet
was not going to ship much
grain out Of the country, and
that the total probably wouId not
exceed 100000 tons. The Russian
export budget of the Board of
Trade includes 100000 bushels
Of wheat, rye and barley.
While the Soviet Government is
exporting foodtuffs the American
Relief Administration is feeding
100000 children daily, and its
program calls for the feeding
of 100000 when the peak of re-
lief requirements is reached in
May. Then days ago the Com
mission on Russian Relief, i'll a
report to its parent organiza-
ton, the National Information
Bureau, Inc, estimated at S,000,-
600, the number of people who
would have to be fed in Russia
this year. According TO tbe'
commission, Kameney said;
"Of course, owing to the cx-
tensivc territory of the Russian
Republic, there may be single
instances Of expectation of GER
Gals, but l can assure you that
this is question of such con-
siderable quantities and at all
cereals as, through transport or
other reasons, cannot be utilized
in the districts in need of bread.
For the work Of the American
Relief Administration Congress
has made an appropriation of $40
100000. For medical supplies the
Red Cross gave $780,
600 which Congress supplemented
with $3,7S9,076 worth of surplus
army medical supplies. When It
discontinued feeding the adult
Kameney begged that
relief be continued among 3,000,-
900 starving children.

the all important thing in the

"Too many fat women make
the mistake of wearing clothes

He suggested that the too-thin

the light colored furs, such as err

dark furs with long hair arc best

Concerning the corset, Bakst
stated that the svelte form of

by abdominal supports and that

of grace even the slender woman
must resort to the artificc of the

Bryan Says Party
Must Name a Dry
Democrats Will Not
Adopt w. Bourke Cock
rams Wet Plank

Washington, Feb. 23.-Wilfiam
jennings Bryan, who is here con-
sulting Democratic leaders in a
series of conferences which have
become more frequent as the
Democratic campaign assumes
some seriousness, declared today
that the majority sentiment in
the country favored prohibition
enforcement. The Democratic
Party, he said, could not go
against that sentiment and would
net adopt the wet plank, suggest
ed by Representative w. Bourke
Cochran of New York and Demo-
cratic eaders IL New York, New
Jerseys Illinois, Massachusetts
and Indiana.
Representative Cochran said
that it was useless for the DEM
ocrats to nominate a candidate
for President unless the platform
contoined wet plank" Mr..
Bryan was told.
-gr"Does Mr.. Cochran expect a
hange in tile Cons tituticn to con-
fine his votes to the under
world?" he asked. at depends
altogether on tho vote to which
the democratic party is going to
appeal. "A large majority of the
American publich is for prohibi-
ton and against any weakening
of the law. The DemodratSt
Party has no chance for success
unless it takes the side of the
people and favors enforcement
of the prohibition law. The DEM
ocrati National Convention in
1920 defeated a dry plank by the
aid of the wet Democrats. The
convention gave twice as many
votes for a wet plank as for a
dry one. Yet We lost the election
by a 100000 majority. At
that rate, by how much would we
have lost the election if We had
adopted a wet plank"
"What candidate is in the lead
for the Democratic nomination."
was the next question.
at is too far from election to

 BY MENACING FOREST FIRE

Advices received in Nenana this afternon state that the town of Liv- engood, in the Tolovana district, r, is threatened with destruction by for est fires which are gradually envel- oping the town. It was thought last night the town was doomed but today the fire is burning in the form of a horseshoe with the town in the center and the town author ities think they now can cope with the situation successfully unless the wind shifts in another direction.
 John Jurich, Eric Nelson, Tony and Joe Escord were overcome by the smoke and nearly lost their lives. Nelson was found on a tailing pile where he fell after losing his way in the smoke, and he would nave perlshed had not hls dog at tracted the attention of Pat O'Con- nor, who rushed to his assistance and carried him to safety.
 Three cabins on Ester creek have been burned. The fire on the right limit of Hess and Myrtle is travelling toward West Fork and another fire is coming over Amy, Lillian and Olive, going toward the left of the town. There is also a large fire on Shorty creek, heading toward the left limit of the Tolovana river.
 Only a little water could be packed up to the town for drinking purposes and the men who are fight ing the fires are given lemons for relief in order to conserve the water supply.

There are no peritoneal symptoms. his lungs are clear and his kidneys are functioning satis- factorily. There is no disturbance of the nervous system except those as sociated with fatigue.
 The attack of poisoning resulted from eating crab in Seattle last week and the attack was aggravat- ed by a strenuous five hours of speaking and entertainment in the Spirit City.

ANOTHER TRADER ESCAPES
 FROM SOVIET RED GUARDS

NOME, July 31-The schooner Silver Wave, which was seized by the soviet authorities at East Cape last fall, arrived from Siberia this week.
 Captain Hammer reports that all of the property of the Olaf Swen- sen company in Siberia has been confiscated on the grounds that the company did not act in good faith with the soviet government. The schooner Blue Sea also was confis- eated and is now being used as a red transport.
 The Captain says one hundred men were killed during the winter within 8 radius of a few miles of his ship. Mrs. Hammers hair turned gray during the winter as a result of the terrible ordeals wit messed by her.
