AMERICANS REACH
SWEDEN IN SAFETY
PARTY FROM PETRoGRAD AND
MOSCOW REPORT BOLSHEvIk
POWER is WANING.
Starvation Has Become Prevalent in
Moscow, Peasants in the Grain
Sections Refusing to Supply
Food for Cities.

Stockholm.-The American refugees
from Moscow reached Stockholm Sat
urday-twelve days after their depart
ure from the Bolshevik capital In
Finland the Americans were impressed
by the orderly conditions.
When the Amet leans left Russia,
they say, flour sold ut S1.25 a pound
and was seldom obtainable at any
price. Sugar, also scarce, sold at SO
pound.
The refugees say that starvation
had become so prevalent in Moscow
that late in August the food commits
sion was forced to remove all regula-
tons on citizens and permitted them
to enter the city with sixty pounds
of food each. This step, it was as
serted, was an admission of the abSo-
lutte failure of the food commission,
which had no bread and was forced
citizens to let the people take the
food supply into their own hands.
Wheat and other grains were not
available, as the peasants in the grain
sections still under soviet control re-
fused to feed the cities. Potatoes and
other vegetables We're selling at %
cents pound. They are the chief
food supply of Moscow and Petro-
grad.
The wOrkmen of Moscow and Petro-
grad factories cannot obtain food from
the commission, which has advised
them TO shoulder rifles and take the
grain away from the peasants. This
majority of the workmen regard the
peasants as brothers.
Wholesale charges by the Bolshevik
newspapers that the bouregoise are
wholly responsible for the food short
age no longer quiet the hungry labor
ers. whose faith in the Bolshevik is
waning appreciably. The promises of
Leon Trotzky, the Bolshevik foreign
minister to quell the Czecho- Slovak
rising and tap the supply of wheat
no longer a-e generally credited.
Russia, the refugees say has a
bumper wheat and rye crop in virtu-
ally all the grain sections. Much of
the grain has already been harvested,
but the b sheviki have neither the or
ganiZatior nor the transportation IA
cilities to obtain bread for the starv-
ing cities, which scarcely can be ex-
pected to drag through a breadless
winter without turning against a gov
eminent whose policy has lost the
wheat districts.

Onn method the Zuni practice for
ping in trim is their tribal sport,
which was witnessed for the first time
by q number of Americans at the re-
cent ceremonies. The game is known
as "kick-the-stick," and is sort of
hockey played with the bare feet. The
stick is a bit of wood three or four
inches long. and each team tries to
kick it down a long course to goal.
So expert are the players and so fast
do they travel, that number of spec
tntors wore out their horses trying to
keep up with the game.

The loan is tagging now. No knows Just why. Per
haps the German peace offer has caused enough

It is plain therefore, that not only must such league
