SPECTRE OF STARVATION
PLIGHT OF MANCHURIAN BORDER TOWN HARD WINTER AT HAND Australian and ff.Z. Tress Association Reed. 9.5 a.m. SHANGHAI, Friday. With the city’s food supply almost completely cut off as a result of recent fighting on the Manchurian border, in the approaching winter the population of Blagovestchensk will be faced with starvation. The town, which is one of the principal points on the Amur River, is situated on the Russian side opposite the Chinese town of Taheiho, which previously supplied most of the food and clothing of the Siberian town, but with the communications severed, food supplies are practically exhausted. The temperature along the border Is already below freezing point, and terrible privations are feared. In the meantime, the situation is quiet, slight skirmishes only being reported.
