HUNGER AND COLD
FACING RUSSIA

London, Sept 26.-(Corespondencc
of the Associated Press.) Russia is
augmented this year because of the
extreme scarcity of fuel whichpre-
walls in all parts of that country.
The lack of coal has been keenly
felt ever since the loss of the Don
etz basin to the Germans early last
spring, 1t affected the railroads and
caused factories to be shut down,
hThe Czecho-Sloyak operations in
Siberia and in the Ural region have
prevented any relief from that direc.
ton
U The stores of wood in Moscow and
Petrograd, owing to the lack of trans.
portation facilities and other diff
culties too numerous to mention, are
far from sufficient to meet the de-
mands Of long winter. A Moscow
paper estimated months ago that
the supplies of wood in that city
would hardly suffice to satisfy the
needs of public utilities this winter,
and that in consequence all private
enterprises and homes could not hope
to get even a quantity OF it.
To one who has experienced the
discomforts. of cold Russian win
Ter even under better conditions, the
situation is far from alarming. The

This vast accumulation of supplies

the whole range so that no division,
no matter what its losses in material,

Each warehouse IS hive OF indus

the other side as the steady streams
of supplies flow in from the Ameri

AT one point machine guns were
being tested before going forward to

Almost as noisy as the machine
guns, were the machines for baling
hay which stretched in long batteries
like threshing machines, devourine
the stacks of loose hay and turning
it out in compact bundles for the ar
tillery and cavalry horses.
Farther on the balloon sheds were
turning out the big gas bags for use
on observation along the front. These

are assembled and packed, and some
of the parts are made here. Like every
thing else the supply of balloons must
be finally regulated here, depending
on the number lost or destroyed along
the front, and varying activities OF
the differnet sectors.
Near by 1900 German prisons were
at work piling fuel wood. 1t was
hot autumn day and the air was
heavy and gray with the dust Of the
immense traffic going cn. But the
prisoners did not seem TO mind the
creature discomforts, but bent to their
work with will, while American
guards with rifles stood ready at the
summit of the hugt piles OF wood to
see there was no Stacking.
Another 700 German prisoners had
arrived the night before, so soon there
vii be $500 of these workers hand
ing picks and shovels instead Of ri
aes.
This is the headquarters also for tho
,alvage carried on at the front, and
for the extensive system of steriliz-
ing and delousing. AS the vast de-
'bris of the battlefields is gathered up
broken cannon and guns, ammunition
harness, ,Tentage, etc, it comes back
lere in huge masses to be assembled
and forwarded to- the big salvage sta
tions at Tours.
The sterilizing system also radiates
iro mhere, and while the actual work
is done at the front, yet the regula-
ting is all done here, with stacks OF
clothing, underclothing, shoes, etc
moving froward constantly to meet
the requirements of this systematic
cleansing.
Gas attacks have developed the
greatest need for thorough cleansing
for often after one of these attacks
every stitch of the clothing of the
gas patients has to be destroyed, and
all the blankets and equipment which
have the faintest trace of the deadly
fumes, and this in turn calls for q
complete re-outfit of clothing and equip
ment of all those exposed to the gas.

descendants Of Psyche win take hold
Of Bill Jones and put the callipers sn

of the Uranium and decide whether
he shall be a sergeant or a private,
a bomber or trench digger. says
the Bedford Standard. It seems rath-
ser rough ON Bill, because he has no
voice in deciding whether the men who
examine him are fit to be rated as
psychologists or should be driving

Perhaps they win have TO cross out

Perhaps they will have to tell what's

confess to being little skeptlcal
about the Introduction of these labora-

Because of its peculiar swaying mo-

called the "ship of the desert" This
title may also have some reference TO

food or drink. with no more urging
than a ship would require from the
