A LINE O. CHEER
EACH DAY O. THE YEAR
By John kendrick Bangs.

THE MEASURE.
''Tis not your height, but more how
deep you are
That helps you reach up 10 Your
chosen star.
His breadth is more the measure of
the man
To prove the honest value Of his
span
Than any towering stature, and no
strength
Is ever estimated by mere length,
And where the soul it's obstacles sur
mounts
'Tis width OF view plus depth of pur-
pose counts.

Refugee Paints Gloomy Picture Of
Conditions in City Under eoI-

MISUNDERSTANDING Of the magnifi-

rative of emperOrs and statesmen, have
been destroyed, says a refugee from
that city.
Museums, libraries and picture gal
leries have been requisitioned and
their contents removed. The best gov
eminent and private buildings have
been occupied by the soldiers and
workmen's councils.
Military headquarters were located
in the Kremlin when the refugee left
Moscow. Hostages had been taken
from many members of the bourgeOisie
and many executions had occurred.
The city was subdivided into districts
under supervision Of commissions, In
a campaign against counter-revOlu-
ton.
KrylenkO was state prosecutor,
Kameneff administrator of the city.
A common soldier, MuratOff, was COM
mander of the garrison. There was no
municipal duma.
Street cars operated without regu-
larity. Cab drivers charged 20 to 40
rubles $50 to 500 for the shortest
trips.
There is no regular food supply. The
inhabitants depended upon products
brought in from day to day from the
country. A pound of bread cost So;
meat, SO; sugar, $40; potatoes $25
pood (36 pounds.
The population was divided into
four classes. Each person was enti-
tied to one-half to one pound of bread
every other day.
The Muscovtes were fleeing to Tx
rainia. Over 100000 persons already
had gone there. the refugee said.
Many houses of the erStwhile well-to-
do were occupied by workingmen. One
hundred and sixty-One factories and
mills had closed and emptied. There
was no coal, no coal oil, no machinery
nor machine parts, no engineers and
few laborers.
Practically all printers were out of
employment since the soviet organs
were the only newspapers published.
Editors and staffs of all the big pub
LEGATIONS had long since left the city.
