the immediate object of which was dis
tribution OF Russia s vast agricultural

Tor land q chance to disrupt new Rus
sla and are deliberately flinging their
lands to them.
Adyices received here hold that the
Russian peasants were originally in
clned to support the faction of the So
clallst party headed by Kerensky, now
minister Of Justice. But they have be-
come dissatisfied, it is asserted, because
an OF the economic reforms have been
Tor the benefit Of industrial workers
only.
Word received here indicated utter
polltlcal chaos in Russia, with the con
serVatlYe socialists seeking eagerly for
some powerful leader, strong enough to
unite all forces.
Meanwhile, the morale of Russian
troops at the front has not improved
according to information received by
diplomats. Thouaands of soldiers arc
Said to have laid down their arms and

Various reasons attach 20 the up

bermen to get a higher price for their
product.
What Railroads are Doing
Railroads are giving preference to
the movement of wheat TO the east
This accounts for the exceptional car
shortage now. The government has
ordered that wheat 90 ahead of ev-
crything else and the railroads have
nothing to do but obey. This wheat
was bought months ago aud is now
going forward to reap a handsome
profit for somebody. Upwards Of 600
cars are started east daily, which
means that not far from 10000 cars
will he used in this particular work
during the month of May alone. This.
in itself, accounts in very large meas.
ure for the tremendous shortage of
ears now existing. 1t also tells, to a
great extent. the reason why lumber
mills are not getting ears.
Lumber is being piled up in yards
throughout this state and Washington
every day because of inability to
make shipments. 1t is said the stocks
