DEMAND FOR BETTER

FREIGHT MOVEMENT ON WATERWAYS SEEN Uv Associated Prss.) ST. LOUIS, April 24. The need for j the increased transportation facilities' "that our waterways would furnish j the people of the Mississippi valley has become apparent and the demand ; for the development of water transpor tation is daily growing stronger andi more insistant, according to James E. Smith, vice-president in charge of the waterways division of the Mississippi Valley association; which meet3 in Kansas City April 25 and 26. "The improvement and use of our Valley's waterways will be the. major feature of the program a3 the transportation problem haa become the most vitally important problem which now confronts the farmers, manufacturers, merchants, and In fact, the valley producers of every class," Mr. Smith said. "The great victory that was won in Congress a few weks ago, through which an appropriation of $42,815,000 was obtained for river and harbor improvement for the ensuing year, ha3 given the people of the Mississippi valley great encouragement. Appropriation Provisions "The appropriation provides for $5,000,000 to be expended on the Ohio River, $2,000,000 on the Mississippi river between St.- Louis and the twin cities, and for other numerous projects throughout the Mississippi valley. "In fact, about 40 per cent of the total appropriation will be expended on different waterway projects be

tween the Allegheny and Rocky Mountains and the Great Lakes and the Gulf of Mexico. "The bill has not yet reached the Senate, but the strong sentiment, that is now behind the bill will, no doubt, 5.-ecure its passage when it comes before the body." "The people of the Mississippi val

ley are now determined that the great Mississippi, Ohio, and Missouri river projects that were approved and adopted by Congress in 1912 shall be completed as quickly as possible. These projects were begun in 1912 with the declared intention of completing them within a period of ten years. Those ten years have elapsed and the work is only from 30 to 50 per cent completed, and such inexcusable delay will no longer be tolerated." QUARTET PROGRAM GIVEN FOR TUESDAY

FEAR OF STARVATION IN UKRAINE CAUSES (By Associated Press.) ODESSA, April 24. Fear of starvation in the Ukraine, once regarded as the richest farming country in the world, has become so acute that thousands of peasants are abandoning everything they possess and flocking to the cities, where they hope to eke out an existence until all danger of crop requisitions by the Soviets has passed. Hope for better crops this summer seems to have been lost. Merchants here who formerly sold agricultural machinery in the Ukraine are making no efforts to dispose of their stock. "There will be no crops to epeak of this year, and next season It will be worse," they say. The Ukraine, commonly called the "granary of Europe" produced nearly 20,000,000 tons of wheat and cereaU in pre-war years. Its annual yield of potatoes averaged 6.000,000 tons. In 1914 it marketed 27,000,000 head of horned cattle, 8,100,000 horses and 6.300,000 pigs. It also exported coal, iron and manganese, dairy product and blooded horses. Becoming Desolate The Ukraine, twice as large as th British Isles and with a pre-war population of 40,000,000, is fast becoming a desolate waste, according to th-j refugees. The only reason it has held together until now, they say, is because of rich stores of grain accumulated in the days of prosperity, which were shielded from the Soviet Commissars on the plea that they must be used for seed. Now that these are exhausted, the rich, black earth of the Ukraine must lie idle and worthless. Included among those who face starvation are half a million German colonists, descendents of- Germans who settled in the country more than 100 years ago by invitation, of Catherine the Great. In the German colony of Gros Liebenthal. near Odessa, omcultivation.
