Petrograd from Jassy. Russia was
struggling against internal disorder,
which in the Ukrainian territory was
civil war. Even with the authority

LIKE FRENCH BEDS
American Soldiers Find Them Crude
but Comfortable.

Go where you may behind the allied
lines In France, one style of bed pre-
dominates. 1t is crude, but comfort
able. and very popular among the
troops.
The bed measures about six feet
long by two and one-half feet wide.
The framework is made of any ma
terlal that happens TO be available
and the support is wire netting or
sandbags securely nailed. The legs
stand about IS inches from the floor.
Where the men obtain the material
for their beds is a mystery.
In the trenches, of course, no beds
are TO be had. A waterproof sheet and
a single blanket usually suffice. In the
trench dugouts officers have straw to
sleep on, the utmost comfort they can
expect. Men on leave from the trenches
say that for the first few nights they
are unable to sleep between sheets on
a soft spring bed.
