The paper published cxerpts from the letter and Kates that a well know Latvia ttate official received from hi rela tive in Smara the following note: " Misery Terrible.

In the town people are lying in the streets, half starved, half dead, 'ike lepers in the time of Christ. Those who have strength enough cry for bread. But this appeal has 'the same effect as the old cry of the lepers, 'Unclean, unclean,' and the dying are shunned until they are dead and then in some instances it is a race between the packs of famished dogs and the people as to who will . first tear away the flesh from the ' bones." ' Another letter received by a citizen in Rigo from relatives in the Crimea opens: "We are today writing to you our last letter, for today we eat the last piece of our little daughter who died from typhus." The contents of other letters stag ger the imagination, but the recipi ents, believe every word, for the let ters come from life-long friends and from near relatives. The majority of the letters come from portions of the Ukraine and the Crimea and the western portion of Siberia, districts where up to the present time the American relief administration have not been able to perfect their' organi- ration owing to the lack of bolshevik government control. " Communists Exterminated. , In these districts bands of out lawed peasants and ether anti-bol-slievik groups have gone from village to village and exterminated the com munists. Proponents of soviet Rus sia who favor the recognition of Ihe bolshevik regime before the entire ' country, collapses into a state of an archy will be surprised to hear that soviet newspapers themselves admit that the real authority of the govern ment in many districts only extends ' within an area of 10 versts on each side of the railroads. This situation is practically confined to nonfamine areas-and refugees from the famine, zones report that the power of the , bolsheviks has increased wherever foreign organizations are distribut ing aid.

Louis 14th Statue Stolen From Versailles Museum Paris,. July 29. "Now, ladies an' gents, follow me and you'll see a valu'ble gilded statuette of Louis the Fourteenth. This statue" But the "seeing Versailles" party looked in vain. The guide looked, too, and rubbed his eyes in astonish ment. Attendants at the Versailles palace, hastily summoned, could not explain the mystery. It is believed that the statuette was stolen during the noon hour, but attendants assert the room had not been left unwatched. The statuette was .wrenched from its pedestal. Old guides at the palace say the little .art work was placed in the room it -occupied Louis XIV's sleeping apartment by King Louis Philippe about 1835 and has never been disturbed since. llil 1 L?'i r Drus Mahit Due to Prohibition Frenchman Say Abolition of Saloon, if Nothing EUe, Justifies Yolatfud Act in U.

Centenarians will be commonplace in the next gen eration, for the children of today are far better and finer than the children of .prewar days, according to Dr. Henry Dwight Chapin, AnjeriPan child specialist, whose work is at tracting considerable attention in London.

The same phenomenon has been sesr. in turope also, he oe' clares, an'd :s one of the expectable after-effects of the wat. ' Experiences of Foreigner. "The firrt effect a foreigner ex periences ui)on arriving in America is a feeling of admiration for the great courage of America in attempt ing the great social experiment of prohibition. But I can't say I was converted to prohibition by what I saw. To the average American the difference between America today and, preprohibition days is probably riot so striking as it is to a for eigner, for the change has been more or less gradual. But for a foreigner, accustomed to the thought of law abiding Americans find the average citizen who is of the stable clars that is, the bulwark of the nation to find him, as I say, in the news, at titude of trying to beat the law, to break the iaw, is quite disappointing to our ideals of America. Prohibition Justified. "The abolit'on of the saloon, how ever, if nothing else, alone quite jus tifies prohibition. If I, who believe in light wines and beers, were giv en the choice of accepting either total prohibition or of returning to the old system, I would unhesitat ingly choose total prohibition. But forturiately this isn't necessary. The difficulty is that a decision must- be made." M. Guy's report, to the wine inter ests draws a picture of the grow ing habit of home brewing and the effects of hootch. He quotes a sur geon of Bellevue hospital, New York, an . ardent prohibitionist for years, telling how workmen daily die in his hospital "in convulsions like dogs." One of the difficulties that he foresees is that if light wines are again reinstated, as he predicts that they will be, the definition of "light" wines will still bar French products. He declares that French wines averaging from 8 to IS per cent alcohol cannot be produced with a .,4 per cent alcohol content, and the reinstatement of 4 per cent wines will not relieve the French over-increasing- stocks. - Diary of a Movie Fan State Furniture Company Big August ViPYiceSale Starts Monday See Our Bargains No High Rent No High Prices See Us Befors You Buy .
