 Horrible food conditions prevail in Austria" said Mcleod today, 'and it is quite possible that a million per sons will. die there this winter from lack of food weakness and disease. This country is quiet now, but another Russia may grow out of the situation as soon as the troops re- turning from the front discover that the end of the war has not brought relief.
 Scenes along the railways are like those on the battlefield. We saw bodies scattered here and there as a result of men crowding on the tops of trains and being swept off by tun- nels. There were also bodies of wounded men who have been taken from Red Cross cars and left to die"

 tente powers and the United States will have great difficulty in affording
 access to Central Europe. Conse- quently, the attitude of the German navy toward the armistice terms is watched with eagerness by Entente officials.
 The United States and the Entente powers have shown no disposition to deal with the Bolshevist government While Russia remains in control of 1 the Soviet, therefore, there seems to be little hope of feeding Moscow, Pet rograd and other large cities there. If the Russian Bolshevist move ment, which has been started against l Finland, should be successful, Fin i land also would be placed temporar- ily beyond relief.
