RUSSIA FACING AN

Soldiers Delegates Told Wheat
Shipments Are Far from

IRON SUPPLY is SHORT.
Food Minister Says Great SACRIFICES
Are Needed as Country Is on
Eve Of Catastrophe.

Petrograd, via London, May D.-Thc
food minister, NJ. Pieschehonoff, to-day
unfolded the serious economics situation
to the congress of officers delegates from
the front In explaining that it had been
impossible as Vet to establish grain
monopoly, owing to the complicated Or
ganization required.
On the eve of the revolution he said,
there was virtually no wheat available.
The supplies had increased in March, but
dwindled again in April.
The army requirement was 1900 ,0oO
pools of wheat weekly, but at one time
only 100000 arrived. The shipments now
arriving were bigger. but far from nor
NAL. and the people would probably be
obliged to face still further shortage.
Other grains. especially oats. were also
scarce. He feared that even after the
grain monopoly was organized the situa.
tion would not be improved. because,
suspicious of paper money. the peasants
demanded raw materials and iron i'm
plements in exchange for their produce.
The central committee. which has charge
the regulation of the iron supply. con-
tinued the minister. has only 5000. 900 poods
of iron on hand, while the munitions fac
tories require 3O.O00,oOO Hence. Russia
clared. unless the population. particularly
the peasants, prepared for the greatest
self-sacriice.

States attorneys and marshals were
directed to be present or represented
at the meetings, and to have steno-
graphic reports made Of the addresses
delivered.
These reports will be gone over
carefully and arrests will be made later
in all instances in which the utterances
OF the speakers are calculated to dis
courage registration or to influence in
dividuals into attempting to evade the
provisions OF the law.
The United States attorneys ana
marshals we're also directed to ask
close cooperation OF the local police
authorities in each community.
