Show N Relief of Country Must Bej Made Through Germany. Ger-many. . ;, WASHINGTON. Nov. 14. Relief for the suffering millions in Bolshcvik-l Bolshcvik-l controlled Central Russia furnishes a J p problem -which the allied and American Ameri-can governments have as yet been unable un-able to solve In fact one official said today that not even a method of solution solu-tion had been determined upon. It is now regarded as practically certain cer-tain that it will be impossible to get food to the -50.000,000 people In this territory this winter. With food now ; scarce and anarchy rampant officials here fear that famine is inevitable and that the toll of death may reach astounding as-tounding figures. ; i In their efforts to find some way to ; 1 aid these people, statesmen of the associated as-sociated governments are working on ; ; the conviction that the Bolsheviki are i 1 not representative of the Russian peo- 1 pie. As long as the Bolsheviki remain ; in power, however, it is admitted that ( there is little probability of getting t even the very necessaries of. life to them. The way to Russia is through Ger-l Ger-l many, one official said today and until , that way is opened there is no chance j of aiding Russia. As yet. however, tho f American and allied gOverhmorits have - not determined upon the advisability of sending a military force into central Russia even if the situation in Germany Ger-many becomes stable enough to permit i the passage of troops throughout that country. It also Avas said that no addi-i addi-i tion to the allied and Amercian forces ! ; operating in Siberia and northern Rus-' sia in conjunction with the loyal Rus-; Rus-; sians and Czecho-Slovak army is at present contemplated. Officials said that conditions in Siberia Si-beria and northern Russia were rapidly improving, while in Bessarabia and llkrainia good order is being maintained main-tained The Ukrainians are said to have virtually cleared their country of : I Germans, while Bessarabia, by a pie- 1 biscite, has determined to beconie a part of the Rumanian empire. |
