DR, NANSEN'S STIRRING APPEAL TO BRITISH PEOPLES.

"GIVE GENEROUSLY AND GIVE NOW."

CALAMITY WHICH CHALLENGES THE VERY HEART OF THE WORLD.

LONDON, September 14.

The following is the call to the British peoples on behalf of the" Russian crusade," issued by Dr. Nansen from Geneva on September 10.—millions in Russia are confronted with imminent death. Famine and pestilence are | raking merciless toll. The calamity is almost without parallel and challenges the very heart of the world. Taseliness is the prime essential in dealing with it. The distribution of supplies ta the actual famine areas, and in these alone. is safeguarded convincingly, for adequate and binding guarantees have bees offered by the Russian Government, which guarantees have been approved by a joint council of the International Red Cross Committe and the League of Red Cross Societies. These guarantees include the admission into Russia of a representative or representatives of the Russian famine relief fund in Great Britain to supervise and control the distribution of relief

"There remains only the formidable problems of flaxace. Given some prompt and adequate solution of that and the bulk of these stricken people may yet be saved. In these circumstances1 appeal directly to the peoples of the Imperial British Commonwealth who have heretofore responded with a fine spirit of helpfulress in such emergencies to subscribe generously to the national fund organised by the Russian famine relief committee. There has never been a nobler opportunity than the present to render a like urreckoning service. The resources within the British Empire are not lacking for meeting this emergency, but those who possess these resources in money and in food must give generously and give now." Signed Fridtjof Nansen, High Commissioner.

SINN FEIN CABINET APPROVES REPLY TO PREMIER.

FIVE PLENIPOTENTIARIES APPOINTED.

LONDON, September 14. The two Sinn Feia envoys did not present a letter to Mr. Lloyd George. They were merely deputed to discuss certain difficulties. They returned this morning to Dublin where Da Eireann sat for 24 hours. A private session to-day wananimously approved the Sina Pein Cabinet's reply to Mr. Lloyd George and the "view of a possible conference with representatives of the British Government." The Cabinet ratified the appointment of five plenipotentiaries, namely Messrs. Arthur Griffith (chairman), Michael Collins, Barton, Gavan Duffy, and Commandant Duggan.
