Chicago, March 1O.-The following
is from Winnipeg grain man who
is considered one of the best informed
| in western Canada:
1.-THE third year of war finds us with
a serious shortage of labor in Canada.
Much effort is being made by various
people but I do not see how any very
practical help is going to come from
the effort We cannot expect anything
except substantial decrease in acre
age, especially under wheat. I have
had occasion to make an estimate Of
the amount of land now ready for
spring seeding in the three provinces
and make it 6,029,000 acres against
7,574,000 a year ago. This estimate
covers new breaking, summer fallow
and fall plowing and represents the
total amount of land ready for seed
ing as soon as spring comes. The
winter has been severe, but not nearly
SO bad as in 1916.''

RUSSIAN EXILES
ARE RUSHING HOME
Fifty Thousand Sledgers Hur-

from North Siberia.
ALL TRAILS contested

Tyumen, Siberia, April 6,-(Via
Petrograd and London, April 81
Fifty thousand s1edges, carrying vic
tins of the old regime back to free
dom in the new Russia from the
mines and convict settlements OF ST.
IBERIA, are speeding in an endless
chain across the snow of North Asia
toward the nearest points on the
Trans Siberian railway. Their pas
sengers range from members of the
old Terrorist societies to exiles who
were banished by administrative de-
cree without trial or even known Of
fence.
1t is a race against time, as the
spring thaw is imminent and the
roads even in the coolest settlements
of the lower Lena will soon be i'm
passable. Exiles who do not reach
the railroad within fortnight must
wait six weeks or two months until
the ice melts and river navigation
begins.
In order to witness this unprece-
denied migration correspondent Of
the Associated Press came here in
company with member of the
Duma, M. Rosenoff and two men,
bers Of the former council of empire.
The three officials were sent by the
provisional government to explain to
the natives in these remote Russian
outposts the nature of the great
change which has come to the coun-
try. Their mission carries them to
some scores of thousands of heather
Asiatic tribesmen and they are es-
pecially directed to instruct voters in
regard to the coming constituent as
sembly, which will decide the form
of Russia's new government.
The Liberation of Siberia's prison
ers has hardly begun. West of the
Urals the Associated Press corre-
spondent only encountered hand
full of exiles, who, when the revolu-
ton began, were at or near the rail-
road. The first large party was en-
countered when the Siberian Express
reached Ekaterinburg, in the Urals.
It consisted Of $50 political convicts
and administrative exiles, including
twenty members of the Jewish revo-
lutionary band, mostly from the Verk-
holenski district, west of Lake Bal
kal. The exiles were travelling in
special cars and had been on the
road continuously from March "a,
FIVE days after they first heard of the
revolution.
The cars were met by vast crowd
at the Iailroad station, which cheered
them unanimously. The returning ex-
lies returned the cheers, but they were
in a deplorable physical condition,
shaggy, uncouth, unwashed anc ex--
tremely emaciated. Many were Grip
pied with rheumatism, two had lost
hands and feet from frost bites and

the leg when he was recaptured. He
