The dlstrlets of the Volga valley where acute famine pievalls comprise (S00 000 square miles, or an area com parable to the total urea of the states of Illinois, Wisconsin, Minnesota, Iowa, North Dakota, South Dakota and Kansas. The Volga valley hns a popu- lutlon of UJi.OOO.OUO and Is the great grain growing region of Itiissla. The situation hi Kussla Is much the saui( as it would be In America If practical ly all the crops of the great agricul tural stntes of the Middle West were totally destroyed by drouth.

All vegetation was burned up, and In the few fields where any grain ap peared the sparse and stunted plants were carefully cut, one by one, and what few grains of wheat, rye, or barley they bore harvested by hand. War has been almost continuous In Iliissln since the outbreak of the European con'lllct In 1014 a period of more than seven years and this, with tho economic blockade which has ex isted since 1017, has affected the fam ine region with peculiar severity. One military expedition after another was launched against Russia after the armistice in 1018 which served ,to com plete the work of destruction which the war had begun.

Draft animals were seized nnd carried away nnd wherever grain could be found this too was carted out of the valley by the retreating armies under Kolchak, Donlkon and others. The unprecedented drouth then put the finishing touches upon the devasta tion wrought by seven years of war mid this explains why millions in ihls valley are facing slow death by xtnrvu tlon, Eat Mice and Locusts. In August a cry went out to the world thnt millions were actually starving, living from day to day on acorns, locustN, field mice, grass, hark from the trees and the sun-parched clay of the earth, and that if help were not Immediately forthcoming the famine of the Volga valley of Russia would in the hhort space of Mx or eight months take a greater toll of human !lfo than the World war. Tills acute condition was called to the Immediate attention of the govern ments of tho world nnd the I'nlted States government sent a mission to Russia with n corps of workers to re Hove some of the distress. Colonel Haskell, who Is lu charge of tho Amer ican relief work in Russia, said: "Two weeks ago the children In the Volga valley were dying by tho thousands; today they ar dying by the tens of thousands and tn a mouth more they w III he dying by the hundreds of thousiinds."

Grain lias been purchased jrnil some of It Is already on Us way; but even this amount will feed but 20 of tho stricken people. With the hunger of these people has come the ley blasts of winter with the thermometer dropping many de grees below zero and a blanket of snow and ice covering the whole region. American Committee Organized. Tho American Committee for Hus sion Famine Relief was organized to help meet this emergency. The gov ernment appropriation of $20,000,000 is admittedly Insufficient and although other relief organizations on the ground lire doing heroic work, they are .only rescuing very small propor tions of the famine sufferers in the Volgn valley. The district Is zoned and the American Relief commission and the Quakers do not even touch parts of the territory. It was for this reason that the American Committee for Russian Famine Relief has decided (o distribute directly through the nus- shin Red Cross which has local units organized lu every section of the fam ine region and can get supplies to the people quicker than any other agency without the necessity of building up an expensive organization. The Russian Red Cross is organized exactly as the American Red Cross and has the same International stand ing, it wns recognized at the Inter national conference of the Red Cross In Geneva, which certified that It ad ministered relief without the distinc tion of sex, faith or political opinion, thus satisfying the essential require ments which must be met by every national Red Cross society. All money raised by the American Relief Com mittee for Uu--.siiiii Friuiinc Relief is being used to pun base" supplies In side the I'nlted States. These sup plies will he shipped directly to Rus sia and Uie United States shipping board has made a special rate for this purpose. The American commit tee reserves the right to supervise the distribution of these supplies. Ten I'nlted States senators, many rciiresentatlv.es hi congress, 11 western iiimllllllMf ,11. ....
