HORRORS OF RUSSIA.
SIR PHIT,IP GIBBS’ IMPRESSIONS. By Telegraph-—Press Assn —Copyright. Received Nov. 24. 8.15 pm. London, Nov. 23. Sir Philip Gibbs, writing in the Daily Chronicle, says: Thousands of Russians are using clay ground up with apples and leaves, forming a kind of flour, wherewith to stifle the pangs of hunger. What little food there is is practically unpurchasable, and I paid 80.000 roubles for two loaves of black bread. Private charity can only he a drop in a bucket. The track of the famine runs for a thousand versts, and along the track is typhus hurrying apace. Now that winter is in league with lice, the scenes witnessed in the villages visited were of a moat appalling character.”
