FOOD CONDITIONS ARE
DESPERATE IN RUSSIA
American Refugees From Moscow
Reach Stockholm After Twelve
Days.

Stockholm, Sept. 9.-The Ameri-
can refugees from Moscow reached
Stockholm IL days after their de-
parture from the Bolshevik capital
They were met by Sheldon White
house, the American charge d'affaires
and party of American and Euro
peans who were anxious to learn the
lot OF friends and relatives in Rus
sia.
Immediately after crossing into
Finland the Americans were i'm
pressed by the orderly conditions
prevailing. There was no shooting
at the railway stations, the trains
were clean and the car windows not
broken and hoodlums were not
breaking down passenger and
freight trains by overlooking them.
The Firms near the border had
sufficient food except -four and su-
gar.
Conditions improved as the special
train approached Tornea. opposite
the Swedish border, and on the
Swedish side they were almost un-
believable for refugees from soviet
Russia. which is staggering on. hun
cry and miserable, toward a hope
less winter.
When the Americans left Russia
they say, -four sold at dollar and
twenty-five cents a pound and was
seldom obtainahle at any price. Su-
gar, also scarce, sold at three dol
lars a pound.
The refugees say that starvation
had become so prevalent in Moscow
that late in August the food com
mission was forced to remove all
regulations on citizens and permit
ted them to enter the city with 60
pounds of food EACH.

transport returned TO a French
port under her own steam.
Vice Admiral Sims reported to the
navy department that the torpedo
struck the transport on the starboard
side, flooding No. fireroom but he
did not state the extent Of the dam

ever, that since the vessel was able
to reach port under her own power,
she was not badly damaged.
The men killed were firemen, en-
ginemen and water tenders and
probably were on duty in the flood
ed fire room. Those from southern

THE THUNDERS OF SILENCE

There is weapon to be used against the war
Stacker more powerful than public humiliation
publicity or denuncation. This weapon will
haunt the man woman it is used against bv
day and by night down to their last breath. It
will make them see fully in the silent hours that
come to every human soul the baseness of their
actions. 1t will meet them constantly on every
corner Of the world as a ghostly spectre more
to be dreaded than charge of grape-shot
Do you know the weapon?
It is silence
The turn of the head the reserve of an eve
and manner you would use toward rattlesnake
Treat the Stacker as though he did not exist
Make him feel by your manner that you despise
him but that you will not argue with him. The
time for argument is past-long past The man
or woman who does not feel in their utmost con-
viction that Americas cause is just cause is be-
yond hope and redemption from without. Only
by inward communion-by forced meditation
may he or she learn the sacred lessons even our
little school children know
Treat the Stacker with your SILENT whitening
contempt. He or she will readily grasp what
you feel without a word from you. Your silence
will overpower and stun. There is no human
creature that does not crave companionship.
Let them know you shun them

OUR OWN EAST WINDOW.

Glow are the bass biting?" was the laconic
wire leaving here few days ago for point
north and east Not to be outdone the reply
came "Good, and this brings to mind that now
is almost vacation time.
Especially is vacation good where the bass
bite and the beach is hard sand where the roll
lers break. Perhaps one stops at farmhouse
set high on bank overlooking good sized lake.
1T is one hundred feet down to the water but
that climb is made many times daily without
tire. Further down mile or two, just above a
little river winding to lake Michigan, are the ru-
ms Of an old mill There if one likes still-fishing
the croppies and sunfsh can be seen in myriad
swarms. ManeuVering hook in front of sun
fish is good fun. Then maybe after dinner when
fish quit biting and one is tired of catching them
a swim on the beach would not be bad-eh? The
breakers come in high but the water is shallow
for matter of mile or so out and riding a
plank in is not half bad. Then the hot sun after
a spell in the cool water feels pretty good too.
Perhaps another dip and then a row home. The
lake is quiet toward evening and boating is i'm
mense.
Each day has its variety. One trip south takes
you through deep woods and over high hills
Wild Strawberries can be found in season and an
occasional mushroom.
In August you pick blueberries by the gallon.
Or if you like them there are plenty of frogs
in the big marsh and their legs are good eating
after they are skinned and fried in butter.
In the evening you take another row along the
lake and then home to rest under the big trees
on the cliff above the water. This is pretty
good place for quiet reading too when the day
is hot for the beach, The trees are tall and a
seat under their shade is good place for a quiet
afternoon.
Oh-yes, up the lake is a creek and if you can
catch them there are few trout for your fly
Anyhow the river is pretty and diversion.
Why don't you go?-Say bo-we are-next
week!
