Ruin for Middle Glasses.

The position is accentuated by the
deprivation of the middle classes of
their incomes. The banks have been
natlonaiized and normal banking op-
erations are forbidden. Annuities no
longer exist. Some families e.u
their furniture room by room, or sell
the stacks of books in their libraries
Thus are Petrograd's intelligent peo-
ple-Russia's most civilized and most
Europeanized people-being ruined.
If one group of people were pre-
dominant the misery could be all
1eviated somewhat. but the manual
1aborers In whose name the bolsheyiki
dominate are also dissatisfied. Indus
try has been ruined and the number
OF unemployed increases daily The
Few men who are still working can
not exist on a wage that was ade-
quate six months ago. Neither are
the red guards content. They are
asking 800 rubles (s15o) a month. in
stead of the $50 rubles ($75) they
have been receiving. Moreover, bar
rack life is no longer pleasant since
Leon Trotzky ordered that strict
discipline be maintained. The sailors
of the fleet lying along the Neva
quay will have enough to eat so long
as the stores aboard last. but they
will soon be exhausted, and then they,
too. will feel the pinch of hunger.
"When now no class of people sup
ports the bolsheviki. it may well be
asked why the yoke is not thrown
off. Lenfne has given a notable
answer in his statement: We have
been dead a long time. but no grave
diggers present themselves Nobody
is willing to take over the gloomy
inheritance and assume the RESPONSE
bility for the inevitable famine
