FAMINE TAKING
HEAVY TOLL IN
RUSSIAN CITIES
Two Hundred Thousand Die
Monthly From Food Short
i age, According to Hoo
N ver's Estimate.
Paris, April 12. Herbert C. Hoov
ir, the food administrator, has is
ued a statement with regard to the
feeding pf Russia. The statement
; says:
"With regard to the rumors of
food relief to Russia, Mr. Hoover
slaved that numbers of projects from
various sources have been laid be
fore him for provisioning the pco
, pie in the larger cities of Russia. Dr.
Nansen (head of the Norwegian
food mission to the United States)
and other eminent neutrals came to
v Faris sorie time ago with proposal
'or .relief (words missing) of the
first order ; and have therefore ah
been referred to the council of four
as they arose.
"The relief administration has car
ried on a great deal of investigation
a to the actual food conditions in
Russia. The gravity of the, situa
tion cannot be over-estimated. A
very conservative estimate would in
dicate that upward of 200,000 peo
ple are directly op indirectly dying
from the food shortage monthly at
the present moment, and the situa
tion is likely to grow in intensity as
the season progresses.
Feed Children. 7
"Under the distribution system
rigidly enforced bthe soviet gov
ernment in the larger cities, the chil
dren have the first priority on the
food supply by way of meal service
in the schools, which are open to
children of all classes. The red
guard and workmen have the second
priority and the bourgeois and in
tallectual classes, tc. receive the re
mainder. , f
"Our reports would indicate that
the children who attendtd the
schools are being reasonably cared
for, that the red guard is receiving
a sufficient ration, but that the
burden of the shortage falls upon
the middle, upper and intellectual
classes.and threatens their consid
erable extinction before the next
harvest. How far this will be the
practical result, however, is a little
difficult to determine because of the
great migration to the country. The
population of Petrograd has de
creased by 70 per cent,
"The Lenine and Trotzky sociali
zation' of the processes of produc
tion has so wrecked ,both produc
tion and distribution as to create a
state of famine in a country which
formerly contributed so largely to
the food supply of the world."
Council Withholds Relief.
Paris5 advices Friday night stated
that Dr. Hansen and others had
been conferringwkjh President Wil
son and the inter-allied relief coun
cil in an effort to arrange for the
feeding of the larger cities of Rus
sia, and that President AVilson had
presented a proposition to the coun
cil of four Nto send food to soviet
Russia if the bolsheviki ceased hos
tilities. This plan, however, met
with seriou opposition, it' was
added, particularly from the French,
on the ground that it would con
stitute recognition of the soviet gov
ernment. Mr. Hoover was quoted as
stating that as fell projects for feed
ing Russia involved political con
siderations such projects had in
variably been referred to the council
of four. '
MEXICAN REBEL
-
LEADER KILLED
IN MOUNTAINS
, ..v v .,-
General Zapata Run Down by
Ruse of Government
'Troops; Will Be Buried
in Zapista Tomb.
. ; ' . " : V
Mexico City, April 12. (By Asso
ciated Press.)-r-General Emiliano
Zapata, the rebel leader of southern
Mexico, news of whose death reach
ed this city yesterday, was- killed,
Thursday during an engagement be
tween, his troops and government
soldiers who had by a ruse entered
his camp ..t Hacienda Chinemaca,
near the village s of .. Petlalcingo,
Morelos. , : '
The government soldiers,' under
the command ' of general Pablo
Gonzalez, planned to capture the
rebel chief and pretended they were
a part of the 40th regiment which
had come to join Zapata's forces.
When Zapata was asked to review
the men he became suspicious and
took with him. a large number of
rebel troops. This prevented the
carrying ot of the plan and re
sulted in a general fight, v Zapata
fell with many of his follower. A
number of government soldiers also
lost their lives.
1 The government is taking unusual
precautions to establish' the fact of
the rebel leader's death. Official
photographs have been taken of the
body, which has been viewed by
many who knew Zapata, as deposi
tions have been required from those
taking part vin the .battle.-"
, Champion of Peons.
The body will be buried in the
Zapista tomb at Tlaltizapan, More
los, which was erected some year's
ago to receive the bodies of all
those who signed the Zapatista cov
enant know nas the "plan, of Alaya."
In this tomb are buried many rebel
leaders who have died during the
last 10 years, ' including " Eufemio
Zapata, brother of the chief. It con
sists of a great stone, pedestal, in
the base of which . are7 a number of
burial compartments. f
