Petrograd, July 27.-Petrograd is a
city Of despair and near starvation.
A great majority of the 100000
population now crowded into the
once proud capital Of Peter the
Great. know what it means to be
without food-and know that winter
is coming with worse in store.
The people talk, dream and-when
they can-eat food. Long lines form
early in the morning before the shops
to buy food. Thousands storm in
coming trains in a wild scramble for
food brought in by peasants and
travelling soldiers. In front of every
shop window where foodstufs are
displayed people stand and gaze long
ingly.
Petrograd is a city with its pockets
full OF worthless money. Money
presses are working overtime and
wages are increasing, but neitheS can
keep up with the rising prices. The
Nevsky Prospect, the principal street
of Petrograd, is picturesque evi-
dence of the city's interest in food.
In this season Of white nights every
hour of the 20 of daylight sees it lined
from one end to the other with street
venders/ selling cakes and chocolate
and candies and queer little pancakes
called "bleeneys." and sugar in Jumps

French islands in the West Indies
may be coded to The United States
when territorial adjustments are
made at the peace conference.
British islands. the lesser of Great
Britain's holdings. may also be trans
ferred to America
The suggestion has been made in
the informal discussions among dele
gates to the peace congress.
1t would meet with greater favor
in America than giving to America
any part in the control OF African
territory.
America is not In the war for ter
ritorial gains. But these islands In
the Lesser Antilles would add greatly
to the protection of the Panama ca
nal.
They are of no immense value to
France or TO Great Britain. United
with the American Virgin Islands,
they would form a community of
more han one million people, which
might, in time, become an American
state.
Their transfer to the United States
would leave only Jamaica and the
Bahama group Call British). and the
Dutch West Indies under European
control.
Already there has been talk OF
purchase by the United States of the
Caribbean Islands off the Dutch.
In 1917 the United States bought
the Virgin islands from Denmark as
protection against German occupa-
ton. The price paid was $26,ooO,oOo
and their area is 142 square miles.
The French islands nave an area OF
| about 1900 square miles and a popu-
lation of more than 400, 200.
The British groups In the Lesser
Antilles include 400 square miles
and a population OF above 100000.
The British islands which might
| be ceded to the United States are:
Leeward islands, with 715 square
| miles, of which Dominica is the larg-
! est. with sos square miles and a pop
ulation OF 127, 900.
Windward islands-Grenada, with
1913 square miles and a population or
1867; st. Vincent, 100 square miles
and a population OF 41,S7O; st. Lucia
2S3 square miles and 4S,63I; the
! Grenadiers. the largest of which is
5000 acres in extent.
The Barbados, 1876 square miles

Moreover. the forces that are once

transformed, but their subtle influence
lives on forever. What happens here

one or more links wholly independent

In the sense that we are forever
