10 —_— FAMINE IN RUSSIA T0 BREAK RECORDS F. . Thompson Says Distress to Be Great _— New York, Aug. 24.—Frederick L. Thompson of the American relief ad- ministration, who has returned homs on leave from the Brest-Litovsk dis- trict of Poland, where he had served as Inspector since April, said yester- day in the Hotel Belmont that, from all he could judge, the distress from famine in Russia will be much worse than in Poland or anywhere the war zones. His opinion on accounts of Russian conditions brought by refugees to Brest-Litovsk from over the border. “I met one refugee who had In Chicago and decided to go home after the war,” Mr. Thompson contin- ued. “He had $800 in American mone; when he reached Petrograd. The Rus- sians took that from him and gave him in exchange 1,500,000 rubles. He paid 100,000 rubles for two doughy pancakes without sugar or butter. He sald the price of a loaf of Fread w two horses. His mass of rubles va ished fast. When I saw him he was repining that he had ever been focl enough to leave Chicago. “Another man had lost by seizure $20,000 in American money he took back with him, getting for the money some millions of worthless rubles. “Such persons as these could have spared themselves the loss of money by remaining in the United § where is was safe, but the refuge who are herding into the Polish bo der province are utterly helple Starved out of Russia, they have for months been dragging themselves back, and they may be seen every- where seated in despair in front of the ruins which were once their homes. In four farming counties where there were 3,589 buildings in 1914, only 261 now stand. Out of 900 houses in one town only three are left. In all of that border region are only 1,931 buildings and 2,233 barracks. That i~ the only shelter for the people, who sleep in dugouts that are caving in, o~ in ditches, or under trees. “That cannot keep on if the people are to survive. Our relief has ap- plied in Poland to 1,200,000 children to whom we give one meal a day o 160 grams, consisting of cocoa, and some flour product. The adnlts must look to their wits or to their own government, which is pitifully poor, for food. We must confine ou work to the children indefinitely. The condition of the adults is very dis- tressing.” Have You Piles? Then You Have Something to Learn. Thousands who have piles have not learned that guick and permanent re- lief can only be accomplished with internal medicine. Neither cutting nor any amount of treatment with ointments and suppositories will re- move the cause. Bad circulation causes piles. There is a complete stagnation of blood in the lower bowel and a weakening of the parts. Dr. J. S. Leonhardt was first to find the remedy. His pre scription, HEM-ROID, is now sold by all druggists. Dr. Leonhardt tried it in 1,000 cases with the marvelous record of success in 98 per cent, and then decided it should be sold under a rigid money-back guarantee.

Relief | NEWSIES WILL LEAD AN HAWATIAN LIFE Convention Promises the Real South Pacilic Enchantments Honolulu land T B newspaper Aug. 24.—Main- men arriving in | Honolulu for the first time to attend the World Press here Congress sessions in October will find it hard to be'ieve at first that they are trodding United States territory. For in idiomatic language, traditions, cus- toms, many foods, vegeta- vionand climate, this far-flung out- post of the United States differs from the mainland as night differs from day. As bfifits its position—*at the cross- rcads of the Pacific”—Honolulu prob- ably is the most cosmopolitan com- unity under the American flag. Here are Filipinos, Japanese, Chinese and natives of all other Pacific Ocean lands and islands in profusion. Bearded and turbaned Hindus stalk majestically the narrow streets and representatives of practically every cther race and nation in the world are seen in town or along the exception- ally well built and maintained auto- ‘nobile boulevards that thread the isiand of Oahu, on which Honolulu is stuated Visiting newspaper men will walk through shaded lanes of giant royal ralm trees, crowned with bunches of “reen cocoanuts. In other districts 1 will erunch fallen dates which :arpet the earth. They will eat ‘poi,”" to which is attributed the mighty athlete prowess of Hawaiians. “Poi” is made by crushing he roots ~f the taro plant, which resembles the sweet potato or yam of the main- ‘and. Hawalians eat it with their fingers and the varieties rangs from ‘one finger Poi” to “four finger Poi," ihe variation being in the consistency. The newspapermen will find alligator pears, which are a rare and ex- sensive luxury on the mainland, com- ron and comparatively cheap in Hawaii. But perhaps the greatest difference between Honolulu and the mainland is in the adoption by nearly all resi- dents of several dozen native words wkich are used in preference to Eng- lish equivalents. There is, for South, East or West. Instead of nerth it is “ewa” toward the Ewa plantation in the northern portion of Cahu. South is “waikiki,” for the famed beach. “Mauku,” toward the mountains, is east and “makai,” toward the sea i1 west. No ever instance, no North, ‘kamaaina’ or old-time resident thinks of saying “I am done,” he “1 am Pau,” pronounced “pow,” which also means to stop. Instead of sayinz. “Stop that,” one says “Pau.” \ “Keep out” sign is never seen in Honolulu. Instead it is “Kapu.’’ To almost all mainland Americans the werd “kanake” designates a race of people—the Hawaiians. Aa a mat- ter of fact tho word in Hawailan means “man.” A “Kanaka” is a man; 1 woman ir a “wahine.” Practically every Hawaiian proper name has a meaning. That of Duke Kahanamoku, worlds’ champion short distanca swimmer, a1 an example, means “‘the Boatbuilder,” “Ka means the; “hana” to work, and ‘“moku’ means boat. Haleakala, the great extinct volca- nic crater on the island of Maui means “House of tha Sun” Halemaumau the mighty fire pit in the volcano of Kilanea means “house of Everlasting Fire.” All the namees of Hawaiian priests, priestesses, chiefs and kings endins in “lani" of “Kalani" sigrified that persons bearing those names were associated with heaven. A lileral translatton of ukulele, musical instrument of wide renown, it is the “'bouncing flea,” as “‘uku’ means flea and *lele” to jump. Anything that is good is “ono,” but “‘ona’’ means intoxicated, “Pau’ is flower, but “puaa’ is a pig, a distinction which and the it chins stops No smarti even if the skinis irritated~ only coot comfort. NEW BRITAIN DAILY HERALD, WEDNESDAY, me—— makes an Hawaiian lover extremely careful of his pronounciation. “Aioha,” one of the widest known Hawaiian words on the mainland, is a greeting and an expressibn of fare- well at the same time, circumstances dictating whether it means ‘“‘hello “good bye.” If one thirs whether he has water, a visitor usually is downcast when the Hawaiian seems to reply, “Why no."" What he realy says is “Wai no,” which means that he has plenty of water and that the questioner is welcome to help himself. and ask; ainland It is expected that with all these words of general use and many more which are common, the visiting news- paper men will return to the main- land with far greater vocabularies than were theirs when they came to Honolulu. Consular Corps Opposed and Army Itsell Objects Peking, Aug. 24.—Copies of official telegrams sent by General Tachibana of the Japanese expeditionary force in Vladivostok, to his superiors in Tokyo, indicate to some extent the interest felt in the effort of Semienoff to re-establish himself in Siberia, and in the fortunes of Baron Unger-Sternberg in Mongolia Opposition by the consular corps at Vladivostok to Semienoff's return to power, coupled with antagonism to him in the Japanese army itself, has creat- ed a situation which the Japanese com- mander declares has forced an *‘attitud. of conciliation’ toward the Far East- ern Republic, and has caused the Jap- anese command to alter its plans for operations in Siberia. Both telegrams were dated June 20. The first, addressed to General Ouik: hara, Tokyo, is as follow: *'In view of Seo's (a Japanese officer on Semienoff's staff) reports in regard to continuance of negotiations between the Merkuloff government and Ataman Semienoff, 1 am taking an attitude of ‘expectation.’ I have informed Scu that my attitude would change as soon as the Mongolian group opens genera activities and show: me actual re sults in the Transbaikalia region. Thc present situation, I believe, is due to the underground work of some of the extreme radical parties supported by the whole personnel of the Vladivostok consuls. They are entirely ignorant o the real Russian question and aie be ing led by the American representative who has adopted an irreconcilable a titude toward our influence in the Fa East. 1 have commenced negotiations to counteract this movement with se eral of the non-socialist groups and ex pect to find a peaceful way out of the present situation which is very pre carious to the budget question for the Siberian expeditionary force.’ The second dispatch, sent by General Tachibana to General Sudzuki, Tokyo, four hours later on the same day, foi- lows: “‘From all my reports to the supreme military council you may judge whether the situation is truly abnormal so far our expeditionary corps is concerned. Among our own forces a group has formed which is opposed to Ataman Semienoff and is supporting the opposi- tion in the army and among the people. Their position is strengthened oy the consular corps whose nembers nave adopted a hostile attitude ioward Scm- ienoff. “The general situation now tends to force us back to an attitude of concili- ation with regard to the Far Eastern Republic which annuls the plan work- ed out. The position in which we fing the Mongolian army, so small in num- bers that it is out of all proportion to the area of territory occupied and to the military operations on three fronts, naturally delays the solution of the Semienoff problem. “‘The appropriation as a the budget, confirmed by the supri military council, to support the Sem off umits, is exhausted. This condition I ascribe to the frequent changes madc in our program and the hesitating af- titude adopted by the military council as to putting an end to non-interfer ence in Russian domestic affairs. The delay in making a decision may bring very undesirable consequences. Th= situation of our army demands an im- mediate clearing up in regard to the Russian question. Knowing your point of view I request you to use your in- fluence in the matter.” MEXICO HAS BANDITS.
