" 5rora -the far east to the Finnish frontier-4,000 j miles of disputed territory the spectre j of starvation stalks threatening as the far reaches give up a cry for the neces: I sities of life from a people whose hearts, long sturdy in the struggle fori a "new day" are forced to heed the de- j . mands of want. The Associated Press correspondent 1 just arrived here, has observed these conditions in crossing Russia and Sibe ria all the way from Vladivostok to Moscow and Petrograd. His arrival in Finland followed deportation from Moscow because the authorities had not given advance authorisation for crossing Siberia.

At the end of the second year thai the bolsheviki have assumed direction of the proletariat, Russia remains in the firm grasp of this 'military regime. It is the same force which has beaten back invading forejgn armies on all fronts, the same that has overcome all -counter-revolutionary movements.
