NORTH RUSSIA LOOKS TO
NAVIGATION FOR RELIEF

Archangel, May 9.-(Correspond-
ence of The Associated Press.)-The
population of North Russia is looking
forward to the pening of navigation
to relieve a general shortage in the
simplest necessities and small luXu-
ries of life from which it has suffered
since the beginning of the BolshevilI
revolution.
An American housewife, accustomed
to buying the little things she needs
without trouble, could hardly picture
the condition of her sister in Archan-
gel.
One waists, for instance, to sew a
new dress. Perhaps one may obta n
the material, at fabulous price, or
fairly reasonably if bought, strictly
rationed, by card. Search for Innings
will prove even more difficult and
then one probably would find is alb
soluteIy impossible to buy packet Of
needles or spool of thread. The
same would apply to a man who had
broken his watch crystal, OF eye
glasses and wished to buy new ones.
In he matter of foodstuffs, the
basic elements of diet, bread and
meat and dried vegetables, can be
purchased fairly reasonably, but, at
this writing a pound of butter costs
the equivalent of two dollars, eggs
sixty to eighty-five cents speice, and,
the other day, when some ting
oranges were brough ashore from a
ship, they sold at the rate of $3.50
each, and wrere bought up eagerly.

WAR HERO in ATLANTA
WOUNDED NINE TIMES

Atlanta, Ga, July 10.-War heroes
are commonplace beings in Atlanta,
situated so close to Fort Mcpherson.
and wounded men are not any more
notice even on the streets, but a young
North Carolina Lieutenant is re-
ceiving a bit of notice just now,' his
claim to fame being that he is about
as we'll pruned as any young fighter
who has returned from the scene Of
hostilities. z. B. Thornburg is his
name and he wears numerous decora
tiOns for Valor.
Thornburg was wounded nine times
and on still another occasion was
struck on the heel in the mud from
high explosive shell, which did not
injure him. His nine wounds consist
in perforations from his mouth to his
ankle, both of which were hit.

AFGHANlSTAN UPRISING
FOSTERED BY BOLSHEVIKI

London. June ~. Correspondence
the Associated Press,--British gov
ernment officials are convinced that
the uprising in, 'Afghanistan, is being
fostered by tf1e Russian Bolsheviki
1t is stated that the government has
positive information that the Amir is
in close touch with the Bolsheviki in
Turkestan and Moscow and that Rus
sian emissaries have been sent to
Afghanistan
1t is believed here that Amir is de-
laying answering armistice terms
which he requested until he can fur
ther concentrate his forces, stir up
more trouble among frontier tribels
and get assistance either in the form
of propaganda or money from Russia.
Recent successes Of the Bolsheviki
in Trans-Caucasia are regarded with
apprehension and as likely to impress
the Afghans.
The Bolshevik aspirations undoubt-
edly are two IBID. Official opinion
here is that they hope through this
method to spread their doctrine among
the people of the near East thereby
widening their influence and enl-
barassing the United Kingdom.
