PETROGRAD, February 20 (delayed).-
The peoples commissaire. Brouevitch, has
issued a proclamation ordering the Grim
inal elements in Petrograd to quit the
city within twenty-four hours on pain OF
being shot at sight. The soviet govern
ment is decidedly anxious that the reign
of terror here shall cease. People do not
venture into the streets after dark except
in cases of dire necessity. There are any
where from three to fifteen holdups each
night, usually terminating in brutal mur-

Many expert cracksmen are operating

instability Of the banks, are forced to
keep large amounts of currency on hand.
usually in antiquated safes
Two or three times this week there
were pitched battles between the red
guards and soldiers because the latter
insisted on looting the wine cellars
Recently l watched soldiers enter
wine store. Some 900 soldiers formed
in an orderly line which resembled
any of Petrograds hundreds of food
queues. They carried receptac1es of
every known shape for the purpose of
carrying away wine. Soon the soldiers
at the head of the queue became drunk
and fred their rifles in the air until
the red guards arrived. The drunken
soldiers fought because they were
drunk and the sober ones fought in
order to get wine. Eventually armored
cars arrived, with the result that there
were thirty-five casualties. Counterfeit
money is appearing in considerable
quantities.
Probably the increase in crime is
largely due to the intense suffering
from starvation among the unemployed,
of whom there are $4,000 in Petrograd.
These constitute the rabid class. agi-
tation having convinced most of the
ignorant sufferers that the members of
the hourgeoisie are responsible for
their ills and that any method by which
the wealthy and middle classes can be
plundered is morally right and per-

MAINTENANCE OF EARTH ROAD
Same Principles Of Drainage Apply to
Clay Rosds-keep Pipe Line and
bitches Open.

The same principles of drainage as
apply to the earth roads should apply
TO the sand-clay roads. The sand-clay
roads are usually located by an engi-
neer before they are built. and In this
event they are constructed on grade
and with proper provisions for drain
age. 1t remains for the maintenance
force to see that the pipe lines and
bitches are kept open. The surface of
the sand-clay road requires continual
attention and II should be dragged af-
ter every rain or wet spell; IL should
not be allowed to deteriorate and blow
away.
As this class of roads Is more expen-
sive than the earth roads are. SD is
their maintenance more expensive, but,
on the other hand. the service that
they give is much more satisfactory
than that Of the earth roads. The
communities through which they run
are usually more enlightened and pro-
gressive than those on the earth roads.
and therefore are more able and will
ing to bear the maintenance cost.
