THE FAMINE IN RUSSIA

One result of the stern censorship of the press allowed to become cognisant of the fact that in Russia is that the public has not been. famine is stalking over the land until it is almost too late to render effective help. Even last Auturan one of the leading journals in St. Petersburg ventured to speak of the coming trouble, with the result that it was rebuked by the Censor, and partially suppressed for daring to tell the truth Naturally the servile press then became silent until towards the close of winter, when vague talk of the failure of the crops in certain districts and allusions to star vation were allowed to go forth. But now, at the eleventh hour, reserve has been thrown to the winds, and a correspondent of The Globe describes the papers as being filled with letters painting the situation in the darkest colours. Some put the numbers of straving moujiks at the awful figure of 20,000,000. The poor people, regarding the famine as a visitation: from Gad in punishment of their sins, bear their sufferings with amazing patience and resignation, or the interior of the country, would by this time have
