LETTER FROM STARVING RUSSIA Countesa Natasha Razamova writes, Miss Amy McKowan of Awf ul 'Sufferings fnom Hunger In view of the fact that in many churches in Canada special collect- ions are to be taken, next Sunday for the Relief of the Famine sufferers la Russia, the foliowing extnacts fromi a letten necently received by Miss McKowan of this town from Petro- grad are timely. It seems to us that the spirit of courage and cheenful- ness bneathed throughiout this letter witten by a girl of twenty-one whoi has had little but suffering and hard-1 ship for eight yeans, shouid' surely, inspire every Canadian to want to do something to relieve the distressi which is so acute.

A few Russians ýbnought it upon the country; but the ones who are suff ering are not the ones who are responsible f or the situation. This letter fnom wbich we are per- mitted to quote was writea by Count- ess Natasha Razamova who was Miss McKowan's Secnýetany and Interpret- er when she was working with the Amenican Red Cross la Sibenia, and Miss McKowan tells us that the young Countess was 18 when, she came to wonk for tbe Red Cross, 'had seen ber father, a former Judge of the ussian Supreme Court, die from ex- posure wben trying to save his fam- iiy from the terrons of Bolshevism, and hem brother, an officer ln the Guards, înurdered. Thus Countess Natasha was left with a step-mother and a five-year old baîf-brother to support. She had, of course kaown nothing of work, but when the three of them found tbemselves penniiess, homeless refugees, Countess Nat- asha bravely set to work to earn enougb to keep, them ail alive, if possible.
