Dogs and cats are being devoured, while wooden houses are being demolished to pro- vide fuel, as nlso wooden fittings angd furniture from houses whose owners eye, days- { after! Y iy have left. “In"consequence of the nationalizi- thon of the factories and the suhse- quent inability of the bolshevistx to mannge. them, industry is dying. The factories continie w & ountil avail- able stocks of raw 1 rinl are used up, and then, wneh against the will of the workmen, arve closed down, In Petro; tlone during the kst menth VRtrving, the cein harvests of 1915 i the Ural!’ Tumbaoil, 1" nnd N tolf governments are stored, and in sueh gquamities that practieally the whale of holshevist Russin could be fed sand sutlicient left over for export, “A member of the Society of Friends war vietims el committee <tated i the Holsheviki were doing their best for the ehildiéen, and that four retiof colonies had been established at Tambaft, This ix said to be done with the cbject of im ing on the minds of 11 rowi ition that they at least were look er dnring the reign of the holshe Children are allowed 1o (oke part in the manage- ment of the schools, with results best left to the imagination. “The educnted classes are slowly he- ing exterminsted, and withont their fielp the future r iization and ad- ministration of the country will prove enormously difficult, “The Germans arve fully aware of the possibilities in Russia, and as every Russian with any pretense of education speaks either German or French the Germans have a great advantage over the British, and will not be slow to reap the benefit. Many Austrians are becoming Russian subjects, as are, it is stated. also Germans, in order to be prepared for the competition for Rus- slan trade which is bound to come. The Norwegians, too, are planning and preparing for the future, while the Swedes are not far behind.” Moonshining Increased in Tennessee.
