any kind. It was a pity to try to
change all this at once"
ing prices current in Moscow, such as
45 to 60 roubles $3.50 to $500 for
pair of shoes. the latter being de-
manded for American-made goods.
The suit he was wearing-an ordinary
business suit-cost $50 roubles. Food
prices however, are in many instanc-
es lower than those prevailing in Ber-
lin and far below prices asked
throughout Scandinavia. Various ef-
forts have been made to establish
maximum prices, but it has been
found impossible to enforce them.
The two things which made life
most unpleasant for the American in
Moscok were, he said, the difficulties
Of getting about the city, owing to the
inadequate street-car and cab service
(and the dearness Of the latter) and
the 'uppishness" and general inde-
pendence of the servants.
1T Is getting all but impossible to
find good, polite servants any longer"
he said. "They are all making so
much money in factories that they
either will not go into service at all.

and comport themselves in such a
manner that it is intolerable. 1 saw

Coal and petroleum are both dear and
scarce. and the outlook is not for any
, immediate betterment.
There Is great scarcity of lard and
other fats, and the meat supply is
plainly becoming rapidly less. The
informant declared that not only have
the herds of cattle and swine been un-
duly reduced by excessive slaughter.
but that great numbers also perished
last winter, either from cold or hun
ger, due to insufficient care. OF food
stuffs of other sorts. however, there is
no lack, and there can be no question
of anybody going hungry except the
unfortunate Germans and Austrians

among the civil population, but the
soldiers were never so we'll fed, well

empire, and he declared that condi-
tions in Moscow are typical Of what
Is to be found elsewhere, SO far as
prosperity is concerned. but rather
worse in the matters Of housing and
transportation.
Moscow had roundly 100000 in
habitants before the war. This num-
ber, he believed, had been increased
about so per cent, making the popu-
lation 100000 One of the immedi-
ate results has been such a scarcity
of rentable houses that 1t is not at all
unusual to find advertisers offering
bonuses UP to 500 rubles for anyone
finding them a suitable dwelling place.
There are certain restrictions against
increasing rents to tenants already in
occupancy, but these restrictions do
not apply to new renters. and natu-
rally such persons have to pay high
prices when they do succeed in find
ing q house.
The number of cabs has been re-
duced to a fraction of the ante-bellum
number, and a considerable number
from service. Cab prices have in
creased to a point where many per-
sons formerly addicted to the cab hab-
it have given it up. but without find
ing an adequate substitute. the street
cars being continually jammed to suf-
location. So there is nothing to do
but walk, and Moscow Is a city of
I imposing distances.
The one really serious problem
which the city faces this winter, ac-
cording to the informant. is the ques-
ton Of fuel and light-wood, coal and
petroleum.. Wood which cost from
to 10 rubles before the war now costs
as much as so, and the supply is most
inadequate. To be sure. there is wood
enough in the empire, but transporta-
ton facilities are lacking. Indeed,
one of the most unfavorable things in
Russia today is. declared the Ameri-
can, the extreme disorganization, or
