More than three million Russian children, homeless, their parents dead or lost, will be dependent upon America for the bare necessaries of life this winter, according to Walter Lyman Brown r tof the-.

These homes are - maintained by the government and are almost totally in adequate. There are: no heating, sys tems, the food is scarce and cold, and the children, having virtually , no cloth ing, wrap - themselves in all sorts of rags in a vain endeavor to keep from freezing to death. : Tbe - winter Is al ready , well advanced in Russia. Brown- described these "homes" viv idly. There - is almost no furniture and the children sit in huddled groups on the floors, as close to each other as possible. The windows are broken, covered with board and stuffed with rags, so that little light enters the dreary interiors, 'a- .. In the district of " Baxuluk, where there was a. drouth, 25,000 people are denendent " on i outside" aid, while . in other districts, where the crops were good, -there is more grain than is need ed.
