revolt was in progress, and that the Work

troops against it, besides issuing DEGREES
authorizing the local revolutionary garri-

Since then Kaledlnes has also issued a
proclamation announcing that the Cossack
government had established its power over
the famous Donetz region, one Of the great
wheat districts Of Russia. Indeed, it is
precisely in its economic aspects that the
revolt seems most threatening to the pres
ent regime at Petrograd. Some of the dis
patches from that capital pointed out how
the revolt might seriously curtail the al
ready scant arrivals of food there and in
other cities of the north.
The revolt is now extending in a north
erly direction. Already it is mentioned
that Moscow and Kharkov are threat
ened, and that in the Province Of Oren-
burg the Bolshevik government has been
overthrown by General Dutoff. One of
Kaledines's generals is also operating in

7 Jurrying Russia Along Into A
| l State Of Anarchy

That the present authorities are hurry
ing Russia into a state of anarchy was
manifest in several dispatches of the week
under review. Last week IL was reported
that the Council Of National Commission
ers had issued a decree abolishing all
courts and instituting an irregular form
of Justice, under the auspices of the local
Workmen's and Soldiers Delegates. The
central government has this week further
distinguished itself by issuing procla-
nation abolishing private property in
land and confscating the houses Of land
owners. 30 be used as schools, hospitals,
shelters and theatres. II was also re
ported from Russia that the government
had threatened to repudiate all the Rus
sian foreign debt, but in later dispatch
this was authortatiyely denied.
To sum up the news outlined above it
may be said that it all tends TO mark the
further progress Of Russia toward a state
OF hopeless anarchy. The long-eSpected
ray Of light has not yet made its appear
ance, unless, indeed the Kaiedines revolt
should prove to be the salvation Of Russia
But any hopeful predictions whatever
would be extremely rash at this stage Of
developments.

"A e}Governor's Island, n. " pub
fishes very timely article on this SUBJ
iect bv Or. Robert De c. Ward, professof
of climatology at Harvard University.
The most salient facts may find their
place here:
"As one goes east from western across
central toward Eastern Europe, there Is
a gradual transition from a more mod
crate (marine) to a more extreme (conti-
nental) climate, with somewhat colder
winters and slightly warmer summers.
The influence of the Atlantic Ocean and
Of its adjacent seas becomes less marked.
The winds are little less stormy. The
skies are somewhat clearer"
In brief, the eastern war area Is in
termediate, climatically, between West
ern Europe and Central Russia. AS to
the plains of Hungary, they are, roughly
speaking, similar TO our own great plains.
The Carpathians have the usual charac-
teristics of mountain climates, /. G.,
heavier precipitation, especially snowfall,
than the lowlands; more severe winter
cold and less extreme summer heat at the
greatest attitudes.
In the eastern war zone, extending
across Siberia, the mid-winter (January)
mean temperature averages between 20
and 80 degrees.
A few specific items: Koenigsberg
(frontier town between Prussia and Rus
sia), 2S.6 degrees; Warsaw, 25.9 degrees;
Lemberg, 24.3 degrees; Tarnopol (Ga-
licia). 22.l degrees; Czernowitz (Buko-
wina), 22.S degrees; Riga, 22.S degrees.
Boston, Mass, and Buffalo, N. Y, are
much like Poland in their midwinter tenn
peratures.
In the Baltic ice makes trouble in win
ter. Most Of the harbors freeze, but the
winters vary good deal in severity.
The rivers, lakes and streams are ice
bound. The Vistula at Warsaw, for ex-
ample, is usually frozen from the end OF
December until March.
From a military point Of view, snow is
usually more important than rain. The
snow gradually becomes deeper as we go
from west to east across Europe. In
Eastern and Northeastern Prussia the
ground during each of the three mid-win,
ter months is snow covered for from two
to four weeks, the average depth Of snow
fall per month being ten inches at places
from which records are available.
Farther east and southeast, in Russian
and austrian Poland the snow Is deeper,
and the more severe cold keeps II from
melting as rapidly. In Russian Poland
snow lies on the ground from two TO three
months. The rivers are frozen for about
the same length OF time

the other hand, hard packed snow and

foundation for marching and for trans

match reports that "the Bolsheviki were
disappointed by the reserved attitude OF
the German negotiators and their lack Of
sympathy with political idealism.'
Nevertheless, the cable messages from
Petrograd do not agree in forecasting the
probable course of the government after
their efforts TO induce the Allies to JON
in making peace have failed, as fail they
evidently will. Arno Dosch-Fleurot, the
Petrograd correspondent of "The New
York World" is certain that "Russia will
not make a separate peace because this
would be contrary to the entire spirit OF
the recent revolution" Yet he admits that
the demand for peace is Overwhelming, and
says that "a separate peace will be made
only if the Allies break with Russia or re-
fuse to recognize the negotiations with
Germany" On the other hand, the Pet
roprad correspondent of "The London
Times" reports that the government rs
determined to conclude an armistice at
anv cost if the latest appeal by the Rus
sian commissioners to the Allies tslls.
The fact should also be no,ed here that
the armistice was later extended to Ru-
mania. That result seemed uncertain SO
long as General Dukhonin held out on the
Russian left wing against the authority Of
the Bolsheviki: but after he was over
thrown and killed it was inevitable that
Rumania, deprived Of Russian support
would have to join in the armistice. In
deed. according TO a German source, Ru-
mania was compelled through an ulti-
matum from the Bolshevki to make an
armistice. This arrangement on the SOUTH
ern part of the front, it is important 10
note, has already been concluded for three
months.
Meanwhile, it is not wholly clear what
the Allies and this government Will DO win
the armistice note Of the Lenine-1rotzky
government, or what course they VIII take
toward recognizing that government ltseh'
The British Ambassador at Petrograd told
Russian journalists in an interview tha'
Grcat Britain considered 1t necessary FIRST
70 discuss peace terms among the Allies
before taking them up with the enemy, and
on that account could not participate IN
the armistice negotiations.
According to another version ne saio
that the Allies could not send representa-
tives TO take part in the armlstice negoua-
tons. Further statements by the ambas-
sador indicated that England was awaiting
tbe action of the Constituent Assembly be
fore giving recognition to any Russian
government. That seems to be the attl'
tude of the American government; but 1t Is
meanwhile treating the Bolshevik regime
as the dc facto government.

vided Vie country between them for
the purpose of eliminating cOmpoti-

Anderson estimated the annual
crop of onions amounted to two hun
dred million pounds, three-fourths of
which, he alleged, was controlled by
the defendants. He charged the sup

and an association was formed which
issued confidential reports to its

that the bulk of the onion crop Is

statement adds that onion producers
received less than two cents a pound
for early onions while in mid-winter
these onions were sold to retailers
and later to consumers at ten to fiji
