Washington, July 25.-Alarmed at reports of a threatened "seini-faiine" coupled with an cpidemic of pellagra in a large section of the southern cot ton helt, President J larding today re (iuested both the public health service an( the Ameriican Red Cross to make immiiiiediate investigAtion and report what could be done by the fedemal governiimiienit to relieve the situnation. The fullest cooperation of all fed L'ral agenoles in the relief measures was promised by the Piesident, who leelalred that if found necessary. Con grss woul be asked to pass special legislation. lie urged that no time be lost inl ascertaining tihe actltI conuli tins antd applyinig to them anl elfec ivo remtedy. The thieat of "famine and iplague," the president wrote to tle health ser ice and tile Red Cross, seemed to arise from the fact that depressed markets made it itipossible for the people oft a large section of the south Lt sell their stocks of cotton. The re .ilIting shortage of money, he said, ap paiently had deprived many thousands if the v:triety of food necessary to ward off pellagra. The pr'esident, in his letter .to Su r geoi General Cummings, said: "I have been grteatly colcernield to note the public statement from the pi ulic health service as to the ineneac of pellagra and condition of at least semi-famine in a large section of -the cotton belt. That such a iicondition is obviously a tetmpor-ary incident to the economic dislocation following tIhe war, can not lessen our concern. Pamine and plague are words almost forvi n to our American vocahulary save as we have lear'ne(l their mean ing in connection with the afflictl on of lands less favored, and towaII which (ar people have so mny Itme displayed large and generous hliuity.
