CAPITAL PREPARES
 FOR LONG DROUTH

Washington, Feb. 25-Except for the foreign embassies and legations, Washington went "bone dry" today under a provision of the new revenue law withdrawing the immunity which the capital heretofore has enioved from the Reed amendment forbidding the importation of intoxicants into prohibition territory.
 Hundreds of shipments of liquor on their wav from Baltimore were held up outside the District lines. having failed to get within the zone before the bars went up. For days express facilities motor trucks, interurban lines and railroads between Washing ton aud Baltimore have been con- gested with liquor shipments, or with citizens making personal trips to the nearest liouor vending point.
 The only exception to the import prohibition applies to embassies and legations of foreign governments.
 When wartime prohibition becomes effective July, all American terri- tory will be dry except the Phillip pines will not be affected until the constitutional prohibition amendment goes into effect January 16, 1920.

Comrades Borrow Fur Coat From
 Lenine and Skip.

Warsaw, Monday, Feb. 24.-(By The Associated Press. )-Forty pounds of wheat flour is being sold at ;Mos- COW for eight hundred rubles and sugar is fifty rub1es a pound, with both commodities virtually unobtain-, able. Starving horses which fall in the streets are stripped of their flesh
 before they are cold. Money is of lit- tie value and pearls, diamonds, jew
 els, fine bronze clocks and paintings bring little when traded. Buyers in these lines are therefore infrequent.
 In order to get food, trader must of fer clothes. Women refugees from Moscow were recently held up at
 Smolensk, it is said, and their cloth- ing was stolen but the soldiers dis dained to take beautiful pearl neck
 lace so that it's owner was able to sell the necklace heres ' :. Intense cold prevails in Moscow and fuel is so scarce that wooden houses in the suburbs of the, city have been torn down for fuel. Fine furniture has also been used for the same purpose. Stores have been closed by rner- chants, but the soviet government has taken over some of the larger places of business where only Bolsheviki are served. Flower shops and hair dress CTS do fine business, about thirty of these places being open, Leon Trot- zky, the Bolsheviki minister of war
 and marine who is fastidious about his personal appearance and has special lady manicurer, patronizes them. Take 'Premier's Coat.
 Nikolai Lenine, the Bolsheviki pre-
 mier, who is considered quite mad by some of his colleagues is. the only prominent Bolsheviki left who ap- pears to live an austere life. It is re- lated that his automobile got stalled ] in a snow drift and at this moment footpads appeared and appropriated the drivers fur coat. They also de
 manded Lenine's but he explained: "I am Lenine" But the thieves re- torted: "That is all right. We know you don't object SO long as we are
 comrades" and then they. made off.
 Russia is beset by all kinds of dis
 eases typhus being. partially prevail ent. Vodka substitutes are being used
 and have a weakening effect on the people.
 Kerosene and bezine are reported to
 be common drinks. The first thing
 that marauding soldiers on the Polish
 frontier demand is liquor. They ap. pear never to be sober. The large
 number of deaths in Moscow has led
 to decree making the undertaking
