BERLIN, Aug. 18—Russia needs
the sympathy rf every human heart
and tho aid of every charitable hand.
The news embargo of the government
is quite as disastrous as the commer
cial embargo of the Allies.
Not Only is there material starva
tion. There is-also religious'and in
tellectual starvation. Medical andj
scientific men have had no Journals
and no communication with confreres
abroad for years.
Few newspapers are published and
these contain no real news. Also
these have little circulation, being
placed on billboards for accidental
readers.
The government controls all press
es , and no special publications, eith-
er religious or scientific, are possiblo.
