Famine is again raising its dread hand over the Volga regions. The first relief train from Vladivostok with grain was sent off on, the 14th. News from Siberia is bad. People write that in Turgan they are already mixing moss with the flour to bake bread. Over eight million people are in danger from hunger, and the famine this year threatens to be worse than last. Omsk, Novo-Nicolaievsk and other towns in Siberia report shortage in rations, especially, in bread. The Iccal committee for the help of the famine strike is doing all it can, but in view of the fact that the local population is none too well off itself, help from this source will be little.
