JSSTAN PEASANTS B AR NOW PENMILESS High Prim and No Work Are Reported Causes Archangzel, May 2 (Correspondence of The Associated Press.)—High prices and no work have exhausted the s of the peasants and, ac- cording to advices reaching the Amer-’ 1 ot allied food committees In Archangel, the world will have to feed and clothe the half-million peo- ple who live behind the allied lines Vorth Russia for at least 18 months. months ago almost every peas- ent family in this district had its se- cret hoard of banknotes. While in the cities the people were, in many instances, starving, the peasants had money hidden under mattresses, in socks and buried in the ground and hidden away from possible Red Guard raiders were supplies of grain and other foodstuffs. In August frost killed most of the meager acreage of grain that was sown last year in this territory which s mostly forest. The secret food hoards were eaten months ago. Lum- ber mills and other concerns which wsually gave employment have been whut down, and the peasant, with no source of revenuc, has been digging every day into his money savings to ‘buy the food that came in from abroad when the Allies landed. Theres is no prospect of North Russia feed- ing herself until the next harves and even this is made extremely diffi- cult by the shortage of seed grain. The allied food committees in Archangel are secking a way to help this population. The conditions that prevall in this territory among a pop- wlation of half a million are believed to prevell to an equal or worse ex- tent throughout Central Russia under Bolshevik control. The American Red Cross has ceased civilian relfef on a large scale in the Archangel district, since this work is 1o be taken over by the Hoover federal organization, whose representatives, at this date; have not arrived. The Archangel Viestnik, comment- ing on the situation says: “If the | Northern Region desires to be able to subsist on its own supplies, the nece: not later than in four months. If they are not received in that time, the population is either condemned to starvation or they will depend en- ¥ upon the Allies.” Relief work among the peasants in the hunger stricken territory alon the Murm peninsula and on the t this time of the mpered by the ice. breaker with about 700 tons sent to the Pechora district jad to return to Archangel, unable to penetrate the ice fields. HARDEN CRITICIZES GERMANS’ TACTICS Thinks They Are Making Too Many Threats For Defeated Nation. Zurich, May 1.—Maximillan Har- den in the latest number of Die Zu cunft recalls in connection with pres- ent German tactics the behavior of victorlous Germany in 1871 and the heavy yoke that Bismarck placed on France. “In 1871, at the time of the peace pourparlers,” he writes, “Jules Favre, annoyed , slightly raised his voice; Bismarck then began to speak in Ger- man, although he was perfectly aware that Favre did not know a word of German. When some wonder was manifested at his behavior, the chan- cellor declared that there was no need for him to behave more politely than the F'rench plenipotentiaries did. “When asked what attitude Ger- many would adopt in case of a French refusal to sign the treaty Bismarck replied: ‘We will continue to occupy forts. The armistice is not likely to be prolonged, and in any case we will lock up Paris more tightly than be- fore. Our measures will prove effi- cient when the French feel the pangs of hunger; in the meantime we will ask for their arms and their guns. Let them cry if they like; they would st last realize how ridiculous it is to make formidable threats, which it is Impossible to carry out, to & victori ous enemy.’ “Dn 1919 the situation 1s the same for the Germans, and the iron chan- cellor would think that wo are threat- ening too much. From the beginning | the Weimar assembly has declared that our opponent had adopted an im- pudent attitude. “Herr 'Deruburg recently made again in the Tagcblatt. He also said, according to the formula of Karolyl, that if Germany does not obtain the peace she has a right to, she will open her gates wide to bol- hevism. For the present let us be ontent If the honorable deputy opens wide to us the gates of the splendid villa he possesses at Grunewald.” thre Mexico Ci Advices from e stato of Tal y that Marcos Forr Collado, dire stor of the ne paper Ta co Nuevo of Villahermosa s been shot and several other well town papermen imprisoned by the dominant political-military fac- jon of that state known as the “reds.” The association of Mexican journalists ) that city held a meeting and pa- mded through the streets of the capl- al as a protest against the treatment newspapermen in Tahbasco seed grains must be received | { blow up the Churc Sl il R I] ! ! uny public expression of .»\nl.*;:‘f“"\ o :;n:” = place in the United Kingdom Will Do So if Restored to London, the the Turks had threatened to destrey ( carr the Church of St: Sophia in Constan tinople, if any movement was unde; to res ians has been received by gov- ernment officials of Great Britain. taken L Chris Associated Press.)—Warning that ign ' was appropriated by the Turks as a a4 commun stating that the Turks h of St. intended o A memor 1| signed by the arel terbury and York and nt to Premier 1,loyd that, While the grent VB stendom of * imperial mos of Constant . ution to ‘"“:'"‘L:.,.m-.-nm- should remain in the hands a'c“}’:f,[,,, “justice requires that the Christinny e Al of that city, who form a large majori- palfour replied fRE0 5 hoon ty of its inhabitants should have their et e I(n)“‘EZ\:(\-‘;:li:formauun had priceless building (St. SoDhia) restored [ received but tha Sophia “if bishops of has ber urgin | of tho restit one of the oldest Christid LoDs no offic it sted parties. to them.
