Thousands Face Starvation in Armenia.
Local Near East relief headquarters announced, on messages received from Erivan, that thousands of persons in Russian Armenia face starvation and that hundreds of thousands are homeless after the weekend shocks, with refugees already suffering from a water famine.

By United Press CONSTANTINOPLE, Oct. 28. - Thousands of persons in Russian Armenia are facing starvation, the local Near East relief headquarters announced today on receipt of messages from Erivan, the capitala of the earthquake zone,
The announcement said that "hundreds of thousands of persons" were homeless, and many of them likely to starve unless outside relief swiftly supplementeed slender local resources. The refugees already were suffering from a water famine.
Starving, hopeless outcasts are camping in the parks and on the outskirts of Leninakan, which was described as half-destroyed and a picture of appalling ruin and misery. The refugees were afraid to enter buildings which escaped demolition during the week-end shocks.
Most of the 300 casualties died in peasant homes which collapsed, burying live stock and owners together. It was feared that rural reports might increase the death toll.
