The Associated l'ress coi respon

these conditions in crossing Rus

number of refugees made he first
trip of Americans across Russia
in the latst two Eaarf

Everywhere in all this trip
from one end of Russia to tho
other the cry for food and cloth
ing was heard. It wa.s voiced by
the old Russian peasant type ut
the Chinese frontier where the
correspondent was first brought
Into Russian territory. It was
heard again through the heart of
Russia, where the crews of loco
motives were clad in ragged gar
ments, with sandal-lute shoes
braided from the bark of trei a
AS they stoked their engines they
begged for black bread from tho
group of foreign refugees who
Were passengers on the train from
Moscow to tile Finnish frontier
The appeal for the necessities of
living Is universal except Hum
the extra, rationed class of higher
military and civil government au
thorities. VVJLNTl R TO BE PATAU.
To Nikolai Lentne, the soviet
president, according to the ac-
epted report In Moscow, is attrib
uted the statement that the Rus
sian people cannot pass through
another winter like the lust. Even
now stories are circulated for
popular consumption ih-U Lenlne
himself is suffering for want of
food because of his insistence
upon sharing the plight of the
people The story goes lhat he re
fuses more than his allotted share

Attendant upon the sore plight
of the people economically Is an

a giowing difficulty In carrying

supreme.
From east to west the Bolshe
vik soldiers are mlllturily trained
throughout and officered tho
same as any other regularly orga- .
nlzed army. Controlled by the
soviet political commissars, they
stand prepared at all times to fix
firmly upon the people the new
social system prescribed in the
supreme flats Issuing from Mos
cow. At the end of the second year
that the Bolshevikl have assumed
direction of the proletariat. Rus
sia remains In the firm grasp of
this military regime It is tho
same forco which has beaten back
invading foreign armies on all
front3. the same that has over
come all counter-revolutionary
movements
SOME LOVED CZAR.
The sovb-t leaders are capital
izing (heir victories to the ut
most. They are instilling Into tho
minds of the people that the red
forces have defeated the world's
armies seeking lo enslave Russia
and set up another form of Czarlst
government. They are urging
upon them that tho traffic uf
ferlhjgs and sacrifices will firmly
establish national security and
spread the cause of social revolu
tion throughout all lands.
in some cases along the eastern
fromier these pleas fall upon the
unwilling ears of the peasant pi
oneer who looked upon the former
czar as his "little father," Incapa
ble of wrong doing, and who be
lieves still that all Russia's trou
bles began with the downfall of
Nicholas
RUBER STRIPPED.
In their efforts to avert a ris
ing tide of counter-sentiment, th
leaders have resorted to stringent
methods. Siberia, the last great I
food reserve lo be reclaimed to
the Moscow power. has been
stripped of grain and manufactur
ed goods captured after the Kol
chnk ieba le. supplies have been
transferred to relieve Moscow
even to tho point of placing the

il Is de lared. to exchange with
ihe agricultural population for
their products The plan lor such
exchange, handled by the govern

basic point in the Bolshevik pro
gram. Continued requisition of grain
and livestock In return for alleged
worthless paper money Instead of
supplies Is said to have made the
agricultural population the great
est potential enqmy of Boishev -ism.
Observers say that if this
condition Is not remedied it prom
lies to cause the ultimate down
fall of tho regime, despite Us mil
itarist control.
As a result of the deluge of pa
per money throughout Ru&slo and
Siberia, a system of barter whien
is carried on illegally is the only
means of exchange. Small quan
tities of food .supplies e ompensate
