Seven district zemstvo assemblies appropriated for general war necessities, includ- ing the relief of soldiers’ families, the sum of 209,000 rubles. Four district assemblies decided, in principle, to come to the relief of such families without fixing the total amount of their appropriations, while fifty-nine zemstvos allotted for the same purpose a total of 710,000 rubles. Of this sum, 140,500 rubles was allowed for general relief of soldiers’ families without specification.
