RUSSIAN SOLDIERS IN DISTRESS
wounded Men Returning from War
Are Forced to Beg on
streets.

ST. PETERSBURG. Sept. 16.-(specit
Cablegram to The Bee )-There is a great
and growing Indignation In St. Petersburg
over the objectionable Indifference shown
by the Russian government towards those
OF the wounded and crippled soldiers who
have already returned from the east.
In nearly everv street one sees soldiers
with an arm or leg, or both limbs, missing
Others stretch out hands in pitiable appeal
for aims. Some wear on their breasts the
cross Of st. George which Is only given
in a case Of great personal bravery. Tn
doubtedy all Of these unhappy cripples
have right 10 be fed by the state and
TO receive a small pension. Ask them why
they beg and the answer is invariably the
old story Of wholesale peculations among
the officials
Some Of the instances related by these
soldiers are horrfying in the extreme
Wounded in battle they have been obliged
to lay months IN the hospitals, and they
have then been compelled to suffer in
credible privations on the long journey
home, even the money appropriated for
their food having been stolen by the Off
cials. For weeks they have starved on a
diet Of water and a little bread given by
people at stations along the line Of the
Siberian railway. When they arrived at
| their native villages they reported them
selves to the local authorities and claimed
the pensions promised to them. But after
the first instalments, and sometimes even
before the first installments, no money was
forthcoming and the wounded soldiers, un-
able to work. nave dragged themselves into
st. Petersburg, there to expose their
wounds to their fellow countrymen. As a
general thing they come here believing
that The Little Father would see justice
done to them. But the multitude of officials
employed in the distribution of pensions
kept them back with promises In true Rus
sian fashion, and when they became more
pressing sent them away with a few
| shillings. II they returned after that they
were roughly turned out of the offices.
Now that bad crop is in view, now that
the taxes cannot be paid, the pensions of
all of the soldiers are likely to be held back
| to make up the deficits.

MEAT FAMINE IN GERMANY
Leather Follows Tendency of Cattle
and Hogs and Complaints
Become Stronger.

BERLIN, Sept. 16.-(Special Cablegram to
The Bee. .)-The meat famine in Germany is
exciting the entire country. open the
frontier to Russian pork is the cry now
being raised by all classes, but above all by
the labOrers, whose staple article of food is
pork. The price has already risen more
than 10 per cent, making it's purchase by
the poorer classes almost impossible.
The man chiefly responsible for the exist
ing prohibitive prices is Herr Won PodbieI-
ski, the Prussian minister OF agriculture.
He is the most unpopular man In all Ger
many nowadays He Il was who proposed
that the frontier should remain closed 10
foreign meats, though all OF the other mem
bers OF the PTusslan cabinet favored
changes in this particular.
Beef is today much higher in price owing
to last years drouth which caused a re-
ouction In the number of cattle As meat
is so dear consumers are naturally looking
for some substitutes, such as FISH and poul-
try, and the increased demand has caused
the prices OF these commodities to rise.
too. Even horse meat is affected and is
now about penny pound dearer.
Germany is. therefore, practically facing a
famine, though Herr Won Podbielski calls it
merely period OF high prices. The proba-
bility is that these high prices will spread
to other necessities. The shoemakers, for
example, and other trades using leather are
already complaining Of the high prices for
leather, resulting from the scarcity OF hides.
Indignation meetings are being held over
the whole OF Germany and T>>e attended by
all classes, Even the rich protest, for they
perceive that the obstinacy of the minister
OF agriculture is bound 10 help IN swelling
the ranks OF the social democratic party TO
very large extent.
