U. 3. SUPPLIESIN RUSSIA INCREASE 40 Cars Daily Passing Over Polish Railways-In 80 Car Trains London, May 11.—Every _ district in the Russlan famine areas is now provided with corn for adult Ieed;n‘. says a cable message recelved at the London office of the American Relief Administration, The last district to recelve the food was Kazan, where the corn arrived April 2, Thirty-two hundred horse teams are now distributing it to the outlying villages near Kazan racing against time and the spring thaw which will make the Kama river impassable. Spassk, one of the worst areas, lles across the Kama, and every effort is being made to get the food there in time, / It 25 per cent. of the American supplies reach their destination be- fore the thaw finally sets in ,then the adult program {s assured, in the opin- for of American Rellef Administra- tion officials, That amount will carry the people jn the remote villages through until such time as the river navigation and the hardening of the roads makes them again accessible. The cities therefore are receiving their rations last, because they can always be reached from the rallroads, All American Relizt Administra- tions supplies are now moved in $olid trains of 30 cars or more and are routed straight through to thelr ulti- mate destination. One hundred and seventy thousand tons of supplies left Russian ports for the interior during the month of March. When the thaw prevents transpor- tation in the outlying districts, the movenient from the ports will still continue, but the cars will be routei to Ribinsk and Tzaritzin. Here the corn wil: be stored until the opening of river navigation makes its ship- ment by water possible. Warsaw, April 19.—An average of 49 csrloads a day of American food supplies are passing over Polish rail- ways to Russia, to relieve the starving populations of the famine districts. Heavy congestion of Polish traflic is resulting from the failure of the Russian authorities to furnish trans- ports at the frontier for the transfer of supplies. As a consequence, Polish rolling stock, is seriously tied up along the Russian border. Most of the relief supplies for the famine districts are transported free of charge by the Polish government.
