PAGE FOUR -T RUSSIAN FAMINE IS WIDESPREAD Prisoners Straggling Back Find Fatherland Greatly Changed Since War. MAKE BREAD OUT OF STRAW Returning Soldiers Tell Tafea of Pitt ful Suffering From Hunger in Village! Through Which They Pasted. Vith the American Forces In North Russia.Russian soldiers returning from Germany to their homes in north ern Russia find their fatherland vastly changed since they went to war. Scores of these soldiers ate passing through the bolshevik lines and making their way to the American and other allted outposts. They tell tales of pitiful suffering from hunger In the villages through which they passed. One of them, -F. Evlampleff of Archangel, thus de scribes his experiences: Famine Reigns at Petrograd. "At Petrogiad we were sent to bar racks, where a bolshevik officer start ed to read us the soviet program. The prisoners protested. 'Give us first something to eat, and then read us your program,' they cried. Then the commissar gave up trying to read the program, saying we were not fit ele ments for propaganda, and left us. Each of us received 25 rubles in ad vance on his salary. "Famine was reigning in Petrograd. The first category (working people of bolshevik sympathies) received one pound of oats daily. The second cate gory received one-half pound. The cit izens gtind the oats in coffee mills to make flour for bread. For Christmas the Petrograd inhabitants received two potatoes for each person. A slice of bread is sold for 25 rubles. There was no tobaccc? People smoked cabbage and nettle. Wait for Bread Two Days. "The situation at Vologda was the same as In Petrograd. It was famine, and the population stood In line for bread sometimes two days. There was no private commerce. The shops were empty." On his wav from Vologda toward Archangel a commissar tried to coax Evlampleff into serving in the red army, and on his refusal sent him back to Vologda. A pt-asant hid him in a load of hay and carried him to his un cle's home In Tprozk. In all the vil lages he passed through, he said, there was famine. The peasants cut straw, cook it and moke bread. Eventually, after a long Journey on foot through the snow, Evlampleff reached his home. When such prisoners reach the terri tory of the piovlsional government of the north they are cared for as well as possible. Many of them voluntarily have Joined the white guard army be cause of their hatred of the bolshevtkt. BOYS ATFT^TTfcNCAKES One Hundred and Twenty Lads Ex hausted Salvation Army Cooks.

(United Press correspondent London (By Mail )Amert&tu boxers are reaping a harvest in dol lars and popularity in Great Britain and simultaneously boosting the prestige of American boxers. Eddie McGoorty leads in the mut ter of coin-gathering, the St. Paul, Minn., man having engaged in sev eral bouts which are estimated to have netted him around twelve thousand dollars. His last bout, May 12th, with Harry Reeve, at the Na tional Sporting club, was for an $8,- 000 purse Joe Lynch, the New York bantam, is believed to have cleaned up be tween five and ten thousand Augie Ratner, middle-weight, also of New York, has profited to the extent of several thousand dollars, while Ed die Shevlin, the American navy box er, has added considerable to his bank-roll. If the success of McGoorty, Lynch and Ratner here is any basis for com parison of American and British fighters, Americans have the edge. All three have met and beaten the British champions ot their weights. McGoorty and Ratner have both defeated Boy Mccormick, the British light-heavy-weight holder of the Lord Lonsdale championship' belt. Lynch holds a twenty round deci sion over Tommy Noble, the British bantam champion Shevlin has not fared so well. He has lost two decisions to Britishers, but his gameness has earned him a lot of commendations and prospects of future lucrative matches Terry Martin of Providence, R. 1., is another Yankee scrapper, who is faring well over here. Martin, whose manager is Bob Warner, the Boston ice skater, got a bad start at Liver pool, when he lost to Joe Symonds, ex-bantam champion of Britain, on a foul, but he made up for it in the first week of May by walloping the tar out of Chris Langdon, a Welsh man, at the National Sporting club Martin is being press-agented' for a match with Noble or Jimmy Wilde, but his chances are not considered exceedingly bright against the lat ter Wilde will be a hard man to get into a ring with an American, after his nearly fatal experience with Lynch, unless he is offered an easy mark or a healthy bank-roll WANT AD DEFT.
