the scene the crowd of ice-covcred

their bayonets, dragged the woman of

the protection which the presence of

Omsk Dark Through
Long Arctic Night
Electric. Power Fails and Oil
7 and Candles Are Nearly
Exhausted

OMSK, Siberia, Feb. 20 Correspond
ence of The Associated s).-Find
ing the necessities of life for the peo-
pie is one of the great problems of
the au-Russian government having it's
headquarters here. Light is one of the
most urgent needs. Electricity exists
spasmodically in less than half the
city. The burning of an electric power
plant caused big section to depend
entirely on petroleum, kerosene and
candles. But the stock of petroleum
is almost exhausted and candles are
becoming rare.
The loss of Samara has proved a
great blow in this respect, for through
Samara from the rich petroleum dis
tricts of the Caucasus came the Omsk
supply of petroleum, oil and fats. The
lack of grease for the wheels of rail-
way cars is serious matter in con-
nection with transport, already diff
cult on account OF general disorgani-
zation. Candles cost rubes apiece
and are difficult to find.
Light is essential in the dead Of
winter here, because night begins at 4
o'clock in the afternoon and continues
until O'Clock IN the morning. 40
sence Of light in the streets at night
leads to frequent robberies and occa-
sionally to more serious Incidents. 1t
is unsafe to go out at night alone, es-
pecially in dark, unfrequented thor
oughfares.
The only public attraction at .Omsk
is the theatre and a few moving pict-
ure audtoriums. There are one or
. TWO large restauranrs where one may
dine for so or so rubles. But, gener-
ally speaking, Omsk at night is de-
serted and mournful.

lrkutsk is of considerable military and
political interest because it has defi-
nltely marked the westerly limit of the
TransSiberian Railroad, the westerly
limit of the zone of influence of Cen.
eral Semenoff the Cossack leader, and
the beginning of the sphere of terri
tory clearly dominated by the ALL
Russian government at Omsk headed by
Admiral Kalchak.
For the newcomer, unused to the
severity of Siberian winters, 1rkutsk
possessed much of the dramatic and
unexpected. The city is separated from
the railroad station by the turbulant
Angara River, and when we arrived the
pontoon bridge across the river had
been destroyed by floating ice. The

sengers when the bridge was down, was
