Peasants Can't Buy the
Needed Manufactured
Articles.
KEEP WHEAT AND
OTHER CEREALS
Money Has Lost It's
Value In That
Country.
Associated Press

OMSK, Siberia, April 11-Disin
clination of the peasant and the
huntsman to part with the products
of his land or of his hunt because h:
cannot buy needed manufactured ar
ticles with the money he would obtain
therefore, is one of the cheif causes
of the commercial stagnation in Rus
sia today. Clothing, boots, socks
tools, machinery, necessities for his
household he fain would acquire, but
even a pile of rubles will not bring
them to his door. They do not exist
in Siberia. So the peasant keeps his
wheat and other cereals and the hun
ter stores the furs and skins. Money
has lost It's value here.
Fluctuation of -the Russian ruble
and the difficulty and cost encountered
by the tradesman in getting his goods
to market has reduced commerce to
a minimum. The merchant will not
run the risks involved without expect
ing big profits and this has caused
manufactured commodities to soar in
price.
Another important factor is feeling
Several merchants who have been do
ing business in Russia informed The
ASSOClotCO 1903 COIISSpOllucIIC CildI
the habit of tipping, (bribing they
called it, was increasing. One for
eign merchant who sends goods to
Omsk, said:
"When l forward a carload of mer-
chandise from Harb:n or Vladivostok
I don't know, in the first place,
place, whether it will ever arrive
with the railroad conditions as they
are. l must send representative
with the car to pay out money on the
way to officials and employees. 9th
erwise my car will be side-tracked.
That is the great evil of Russia today.
Business has developed into specu-
lation."
Before the war Siberian wheat was
worth about ten cents per eight
pounds; today it is sold for the nor
NAL equivalent of about 81. That
shows how prices have jumped.
AL authorities agreed that the ar
rival of manufactured articles in ST.
IBERIA and central Russia is an ur-
gent necessity. They have great ex-
pectations of the American War
Trade Board in this respect and point
out that the well-organized Siberian
cooperative associations could easily
attend to the distribution.
The things imperative for the sal
vation and reorganization of Russia
are placed in this order: First, peace
and order; second, efficient opera
ton of the railroads under the direc-
tion Of John F Stevens, the Ameri-
can expert; third. the economic re-
habilitation of the country by the con-
certed help of the Powers. These
things attained, the impression gener-
ally prevails that Russia would be one
of the first great nations to recover
from the war on account of her great
and,- as yet, entirely undeveloped re-
sources.

Floating Mines Still
Endangers Navigation
Associated Press

CONSTANTINOPLE, April IL
Floating mines in the Dardanelles
and Sea of Marmora still constitute
great danger to navigation. Several
ships have been lost since the armis-
tice through mine explosions. The
armistice required Turkey to indi-
cate all mines, but it has not been
possible in all cases to give their ex-
act position. Mine-sweepers have
been at work for some time, but naval
authorities say it will be many months
before vessels can proceed through
he straits with safety. No naviga-
ton is permitted at night On pas
senger vessels lifeboat drills are held
regularly, just as in days when sub
marines menaced the seas.
Even in the broad stretches of the
Aegean Sea the greatest precautions
are taken against floating mines. In
certain areas passengers are required
to wear life preservers, and narrow
lanes Of travel have been marked out
for pilots to follow
But it is in the Black Sea that the
danger exists. Not only are there
numerous floating mines there, but
extensive unmarked mines fields laid
lndlscrlmlnateN by the Germans,
Russians and Bolshevih. They are
constant menace to shipping. The
steamer bearing the American Red
Cross Mission to Rumania narrowly
missed floating mine while proceed
ing to Constanza. Often these mines
are carried down by the swift current
in the Bosphorous Straits to the Sea
Of Marmora, where they are an ever
present danger to the hundreds of
naval and merchant vessels
Naval authorities say it will be sew
eral years before the waters of Eu-
rope are entirely free of floating
mines. Many of the German mines
destroyed by Allied trawlers were
found to have been moored by rope.
When the rope rotted the mines broke
from their anchorages and drifted in
many cases to the main line of steam
er travel.
