T0K10, March 1.—A report on the
condition of the Russian refugees is
given by Thomas W. Whitteniore, of
Boston, who has come to Japan for
supplies after long service in directing
the work of the American Committee
for the Relief of Russian Refugees
in Russia. The forced migration of
the people of Little Russia into the
heart of the empire was described by
him as one of the greatest movements
of people in history. He said that the
names of as many as .'‘,,000,000 refu
gees were on the official list and al
though the Russian government is do
| ing everything humanly possible fo
! ameliorate their condition much re
; mains to be done in the way of food,
clothing, medicine and shelter. Thous
I ands die in flight. Barely fed, poorly
i clothed, masses were carried away by
contagious diseases and the rest re
mained helpless, gathered in barracks,
anti other public places vaguely and
blindly waiting for food and occupa
tion.
The Russian government has finally
; distributed these refugees among dif
; ferent parts of the empire, yet the
j problem, Mr. Whittemore said, was far
I from settled. The great need was for
! some form of organization which will
j provide them with labor and means of
I living and while that economic ques
: tion is being worked out, food, cloth
! ing and medicine are necessary. He
: had come to Japan, he said, because
| the lack of shipping space from the
| United States made it practically im
i possible to get the necessary supplies
i from that country.
“I myself,” said Mr. Whittemore,
“have seen a thousand people dying
of typhus. The religious fervor of the
Russian people is wonderful to behold.
Death does not appear to them as ter
rible or undesirable. All these wonder
; ful sacrifices of the people, both mili
j tary and civil, are offered to Holy
j Russia. 1 have seen aged men and
.vomon passing away on their miser
able beds and I have seen their friends
gathered about the death-couch with
joy on their faces and happy words on
their lips. ‘So you are going to die,’
they would exclaim: ‘How happy you
must be. Now you will be sure to pray
for us when you pass away and we
will be very happy.’
“All that was to make the death of
the beloved ones happy and joyous, yet
when death came the rejoicing was
changed to lamentations. 1 have seen
answered: ‘^Vhy, we are going forth
battle. Friends would ask them where
they were going and they invariably
answered: ‘hyW, we are going forth
to die,’ and then their people would
exclaim: ‘Yes, they are going out to
die.’
“There are ikons and crosses every
where among these people of fait' .
They are borne constantly wii.ii them
as the ever present symbol of this
death that is before them and the
happiness that is to come.”
Local committees are aiding Mr.
Whittemore to secure supplies here
needed for the relief of the refugees.
