The horses are better taken care

into the interior OF Russia-the SOL

No sooner did the Germans begin
to feel themselves masters of the
situation than they levied severe
taxes upon the Russian population
and the proletarian population in
general. a separate passport tax
also was levied. II a civilian Rus
sian desires to leave for Russia he
must pay as high as $50 roubles for
a passport. Taxes have been levied
on windows, window curtains, beds,
and pillows.
The population of the region Is
living in a state Of terror. Instead of
the promised autonomy II has been
given the most outrageous form OF
despotism, petty and large. AS a
result. thousands sought to flee, es-

TRIESTE PEOPLE
BARTER FOR FOOD

The Advertisements which have re-
Gently appeared in the Trieste news
papers prove conclusively the lack Of
food in that locality and the extreme
ends resorted to by the people who in
their hunger are willing. to barter
everything, for enough food just to
exist. -.
. Even those who, before the war,
were. considered in comfortable cir
cumstances, are now reduced to Of
fering their clothing, jewelry, and
household furnishings in return for
the simplest food.
Some OF the advertisements which
appeared in the paper with the largest
circulation are as follows:
Should like TO exchange some flour
for a vaIise and a watch dog.
Bedstead of iron. secondhand, but
in good condition. a pair of black
trousers and q girls top coat will be
exchanged for. a modest quantity OF
eatables.

Am willing to exchange a quantity

LARGE WHEAT STOCKS

According to a food survey OF the
Department of Agriculture dated
October I, 1918, the commercial
stocks Of wheat reported for that
date amounted to 195.0e7.se3 bushels.
as against 114.331 .s42 bushels report
ed in q similar survey for September
!. These figures refer to stocks actu-
ally reported and do not represent
the total commercial stocks Of the
country. nor do they include stocks
on farms.
The stocks reported for October I
were held by 12.970 firms. consisting
Of elevators. warehouses, grain mills.
and Wholesale dealers. These hold
ings, like those Of September /. 1912.
were nearly three times as large as
the stocks held by the same firms a
year earlier, the actual percentage
for October being 1915 per cent OF

Be In Vogue Under New
Enforced Hat Styles

Government regulation has now
been extended TO mems straw hats,
which are to be greatly restricted
in style and variety. Chairman Bs-,
ruch, OF the War Industries Board,
announced yesterday.
The new order is in the interests
of conservation, Baruch announc-
ed. No more will a man weary OF
his wintsr headgear be able to
piek and rhoose At will from q be-
wilderina array of straw hats.
II he wears a sailor-as most
men do-there will be but. eight
styles from which to choose,
There will be but one style OF the
popular telescope variety and two
Alpine shapes.
And, unless he is a farmer, he
must dispense with elastics, cords,
buttons, and eyelets.
There's one faint ray OF sun
shine to the dark outlook. There's
no earthly reason why Alpines
should be expensive. Baruch has
ruled that these must be made to
sell at not more than S1s a dozen.

COMRADES TAKEPA.
DUTCHFOR BOCHE

WITH THE AMERICAN ARMY
NORTHWEST OF vERDUN. Oct. 27.-
Loyal German-Americans from Penn
eylvania- members of the 310th ma
chine gun battalion, of the 10th divi-
sion, nearly drew fire from their COM
rades because they conversed in Ger
man in a front-line trench.
The story was told today by Capt
John Miller Bemright, commander OF
Z company, Michigan gun battalion
former managing editor OF the Phila-
dclphia North American.
A heavy rain was falling and a gale
was blowing when an American unit
received orders to hasten to advanced
positions in the woods on the Argonne-
Meuse front. Owing to the storm and
the darkness, the men got lost and
wandered into no mans land.
Hear German spoken.
Some of the German-Americans who
were in the hrst-line trenches began
speaking to one another in German.
The Yankees out in no mans lan6
: were Just about to open fire, thinking
they were overhearing conversation in
a boche trench, when Lieut.. John Wal.
tiers, OF Altoona, Pa, discovered the
mistake He advanced toward the
trench, but was held up by a sentry
With the menacing muzzle OF the sen
tinePs rifle pointed at him, Walters
explained the mistake, and said that
II was only the mention of Pennsylva-
mia that had prevented the men from
opening FIRE.
"oh. hell, they are only Pennsyl-
venia Dutch boys" drawled the dis
gusted sentry.
The Pennsylvaniaus had quite q
laugh over the incident, but they are
now more careful about using any
German when they are on the hrins
line.
Perform DffneuIt Task.
The seventy-ninth division had a
difficult task advancing across the
rolling country between Argonne
forest and the Afeuse river in the
face OF terrific artillery and ma
chine gun fire without getting a
sight Of the enemy. The only Ger
mans seen were dead men and prison
ers. 1t was an extremely difficult
task for Offensive machine gun work,
but the Americans did superbly.
During the advance a large Ger
man shell broke right in front OF one
American unit Despite the fact that
the troops had never been under fire
before not a single soldier gave an
inch of ground. And not one hinehed,

it and didn't have much resistance.
Then we got orders to continue the

began to get machine-gun peppering
and before long we were in the thick
