FOOD CONDITIONS
IN RUSSIA SERIOUS

Washington, oct. 3.-Food con-
ditions in Russia continually are
growing worse, according to informa-
ton received by the state department
from Swedish sources.
Swedish newspapers carried &C
counts of travellers returning from
Petrograd. They said foreigners were
starving TO death, all restaurants and
hotels are closed, butter was sl2 a
pound and cholera WAS still raging In
the city. A new decree forbids any
one to have more than one suit Of
clothes, two pairs of boots and three
shirts.
The BoIshevik reign of terror, with
it's tax toll of human lives. APPARENTLY
has been brought to a stop. as the ad-
vices said nothing OF bloodshed or
mass executions.
