THE RUSSIAN FAMINE.
AN APPALLING SITUATION. By Telegraph.—Press Assn.—Copyright. London, July 17. The Geneva economic expert has sent Dr. Nansen reports of the appalling famine situation in Kieff, Khardoff, and Odessa, where refugees are crowding the railway station. Bodies are collected daily, some half-eaten by rats or the starving population. The rich agricultural country between Odessa and Poltava is uncultivated and the houses abandoned after the peasants have eaten the thatch off the roofs. Some cities have lost 85 per cent, of the population. Cannibalism is so common that the authorities have ceased to prosecute.
