HERBERT DUCKWORTH N. E. A. Staff Correspondent. (Copyright, 1920, by the iNewspaper Enterp: /sssociation.) (Special Cable.) Reval, Esthonia, June 24.—I know \what the Russian peasants think. vi Bolshevism. . ‘I have visited scores of their vil- lages and have spent nights on farms in the provinces of Pskov, Novgorod, Tver, Moscow and Petrograd. ‘Reds Take Food—Halt Production + Strangely enough, the peasants have little more good than the town workers. It is true that between the Esthonian frontier and Pskov the peas- ants have plenty of black bread, but elsewhere in Russia I saw this is not true. 2 The Bolshevists of the towns, while they have given the peasants land, have taken their food from them and have thus stopped real food prodye- tion. The attitude of the peasants was very clear May Day at the mass meet- ing in the Pskov market square. The speaker had no sooner touched on the land question when there was an up- roar from the peasants, drowning out the eloquent communist orator. and breaking up the meting. Near Pskov I saw a peasant greas- ing the wheels of his cart with but- ter. “Don’t you, know,” I asked him, . “that people are starving in the towns?” “It does‘not matter,” -he said, “the tewns do nothing for me.” . * Everywhere I found the peasants hospitable. They were alwmys ready, to give me a\bed and to‘share their food with me. _ There are no mealtimes at the farms —the’members of the family eat -#e they come in singly from the fields.“ As I entered one farmhouse near Qs- trov, a big bearded peasant was just starting to eat milk porridge from a large wooden bowl. He gave me a wooden spoon and invited me to sit down before the rough: board table and eat from the same bowl. ‘It was hardly sanitary but one could mot ask more in the way of hospital- y. Farmhouses Dirty. Inside, the farmhouses are indescrib- ably dirty. Often pigs and chickens live in’ the same chamber behind a curtain slung from. a pole from one side of the big brick oven to the wall. If the peasant has boots he takes them off. when he goes to bed-other- wise he keeps all his clothing on. The peasants hide bread if they have it. One farm girl lifted a trap door in the floor and I looked down and saw at least 50 big 40-pound loaves pf black bread. My trip with the Swiss. refugees from Moscow back to Camp Narva via Tver, Vishni-Volotchok and (ats- china took one week. The train often broke down. \At oth- er times the locomotive was taken away from’ the train. ‘We made many stops: of from:one to six hours and in that time I took the opportunity to wander through the towns and villages and to ques- tion farmers and peasants. The women would come to the stall- ed train with butter, eggs and milk, but would-exchange their produce only Sor bread. The men demanded to- bacco. at one town aot a pint of milk for ree slices of lack bre mouldy. ee mole Peasants Rise. In tha province of Moscow there have recently been peasant insurrec- tions. The peasants deposed the So- viets in the villages and scattered the Soviet committees. These rebellious Peasants want a constituent assembly, in other words, a government by elect- ed representatives. In the country I noticed a total lack of leather. Harness fashioned from Tope made of flax was in use. In most farm houses I saw spinning. wh where the flax was spun for the roug cloth used for clothing. Most rivers, such as the Volga and Volchov, were filled with logs for fuel and reminded me of Maine rivers, At a farm at Tosno I found a. family of six which was entitled to only one eight-pound loaf of bread daily and sometimes did not even get that. se oan. ieomen were going on tramps. les toward Pet: tor break Tograd looking Most of the farmers cannot till the land because the farmers have traded their horses for cows. PASSING SHOW AT AUDITORIUM IS WELL RECEIVED “The Passing Show” came and Passed on. A few more stops at Min- neapolis and other points and the Win- ter Garden show of 1918 will be back on Broadway where the beautiful scen- ery will be torn to pieces by ruthless hands’ and the gowns will pass into the hands of artistic stage designers who prohably will turn them into oth- er gorgeous creations for’ another year. A large crowd greeted the big Shu- bert musical extravaganza last night at the Auditorium, and enjoyed a large part of it. > The, show, be it said to the credit of the men who put it on its long two- year road trip to the coast and back, was substantially the same here last night as when it opened at the Shu- bert Winter Garden in New York. The Howard brothers, with Willie occupy- ing the spot-light most of the time, are among the first rank comedians. They starred when the show opened, and they are starring as it finishes, Some changes have been made in the cast and naturally there was some S| Saas WORLD GROWS RESTLESS; T RE_ CROWDED ~ Youngsters, as well as grown-ups, are heading back over the ocean to their native lands.

Scores of Colum- bia and New’ York University stu- dents are planning ‘to tour Europe during the -holilays on the ‘“work- your-way” plan... Many of them have applied for any possible job on: the steamers and. others have already re- ceived the promise of the few cleri- cal positions that aye open.

And, on the other hand, the in- | coming vessel are even more jam- med, giving the inference that all the world. is restless and on the “go.” The tide .of immigration has risen .at last and figures “made public a few days ago by Immigration Com- missioner Wallis show that the week of Jung 6, brought 13,000 alien steer-, age p&sengers to our shores. More Than 1919 The total number landed. in five months is now about -150,000—more than landed in the entire year i 1919.

The college has an.enrollment of about 300 young wo- men and is one of the largest insti- tions for the higher education of young women in the state. « Miss Price’s letter urges the co-oper- ation of all mothers and guardians in bringing about greater simpicity and modesty in the dress of students, es- pecially evening gowns. The college authorities feel justified in the stand that they are taking because during the last year the fashions in evening dress, they say, have gone to the.ex- reduction in cast for the long tour, but the show still ranks as one of the big- gest theatrical productions. The Sa- lome scene suffers by the absence of George Hassell, but Will Philbrick is a competent comedian. The show, being Shubert’s best, is typically Shubert. Scenic creations and lots of them,! girls and plenty of them, gowns and very beautiful ones and a great many of them, with comedians in the lead-; cing roles, a few good voices and a few, tuneful songs comprise the extrava- ganza. 4 Leta Gorder has a excellent voice and her singing was well received. Em- ily Miles, though not a wonderful sing- er, was more than attractive enough to cause a audience to enjoy her im- mensely, The chorus, generally. con- Aains more weight than pulchritude, the principal idea of the chorus being to show off the beautiful gowns and personal charms. The.chorus and the chorus men, who are not so numerous as they used to be,. couldn't. keep their thoughts off Broadway, appar- ently, but the principals stuck to their Job of pleasing the audience. The show traveled in a special train of eight cars, and left last nigft * the Twin Cities.
