RUSSIAN TROOPS
RETURN WRECKS
Stricken SOrely by Poverty
and Disease.
HUNDREDS BEG IN STREETS
Want of Pension System Leaves Man
churian Army Charge on
Public Charity.
HUNDREDS BEG IN STREETS

ST PETERSBURG, Sept. 3o-No
more pitiful sight is to be seen in the
Cars capital these days than that OF
the returning soldiers from the front.
Many Of them suffer from wounds and
disease; all OF them from poverty and
privatfon. The condition which will be
presented when the bulk of the Man
churian army is brought home-if II
ever is=is awful TO consider
Russia has neither a pension system
nor revenues from which to establish
one.
Broken-down soldiers become charges
on their relatives or the villages from
which they went, and these. in most
cases, are too poor TO care for them
The result is that hundreds of these
poor fellows may be seen begging on the
streets any day. -
