Al Siberia in Turmoil;

ST. PETERSBURG, April 22-Your
correspondent today interviewed one of

protest against the unjust measures
adopted by the government toward the
people In Siberia
He said. In regard to the conditions
there:
All Siberia is in a turmoil The peo-
pie there believe 1t Is too late now TO
save the aafocracy by means of a popu-
lar parliament. Those who are farafliar r
with what IL going on behind the scenes
have lost all confidence in the govern

Apparently there is nobody holding

inc people can trust. Even Prince
