FACES SEVERE WINTER.
Scarcity of Fuel as Well as of Food
Railroads Down.

LONDON, Sept. 26 Correspondence
Of the Associated Press Russia is
facing n winter of hunger and cold
augmented this year because Of the ex-
treme scarcity Of fuel which prevails
in all parts Of the country. The lack
of coal has been kccnly felt ever since
tie loss Of Donctz basin to the Ger
mans early last spring. 1t affected the
railroad. and caused factories to be
shut down.
The Czccho- Slovak operations in 81
IBERIA and in the TRIAL region have pre-
vented any relief from that direction.
The stores of wood in Moscow and
Petrograd, owing to the lack of trans
portation facilities and other Difficult.
Ties too numerous to mention, are far
from sufficient TO meet the demands OF
q long winter. A Moscow paper esti-
mated months ago that the supplies Of
wood in that city would hardly suffice
TO satisfy the needs of public utilize,
this winter, and that in consequence
all private enterprises and homes could
not hope to get even a limited quantity
of if.
To one who has experienced the dis
comforts of cold Russian winter ever
| under better conditions, the situation
| is far from alluring. The chilly at
mosphere Of an unhcatel apartment
| darkness in the streets and homes. and
lastly, the uncomfortable feeling of al
/ empty stomach-such are the prospect
/ of the coming winter in Russia.
