Goodrich told of conditions in the communal kitchens, where an effort is made by the Inhabitants to extend relief to children.

Goodrich said, were j found in a sheep shed by his party. ; Starving and freezing, they had not had ' foor for five days except some carrots ' and cabbage leaves they had managed to ' pick up.

The penalty for steal ' Ing American food is death .and all food ' that is sent In reaches the most needy. Twenty million dollars is needed, 1 Goodrich said, to check the famine and provide seeds for the spring planting. Kellogg described the conditions as the worst he had seen in six years' work in famine regions. V HORSE MEAT ISED He told of children's communal f kitchens, where the rations are horse meat and grits, and the supply of those ) Is not dependable. "The children are gathered in bare , rooms, containing no furniture." said j Kf Hogg. - "There are no chairs, no ; blankets and clothing is inadequate. The children sleep on the bare floors." Refugee camps along the Volga also were described by Kellogg. Thousands .fleeing the country are collected to . gether. he said, making a pitiful effort i to keep alive their children and then- selves. The Russian government already has evacuated 500.000 of these. Kellogg said that the relief admin istration la now devoting itself wholly to children, but , cannot care for the needy. "Where there are several starving," he said, "local committees select for - help the ones that can be saved. The , others die.

"The American people spend $1,000,000,000 a year for tobacco, cosmetics and like unessential.
