Conditions In
Russian Cities Is
Growing Worse

LONDON, Feb. 1S.-It has been
learned from very reliable sources,
says Reuters Limited, that the stu
alton in Petrograd and Moscow three
weeks ago were worse than ever. Ex-
ecutions were being continued in the
prisons and often were carried out
to the lively strains of regimental
band the victims being lined up at
the edge of long open grave and
shot by Lettish soldiers.
1.-The lot of the workmen," says
2euter's," is desperate under the Boil
shevist regime. The food situation
in Petrograd has gone from bad to
worse. Hundreds of persons are dy-
ing weekly and the present popula-
tion is little over 100000.
"The Bolshevists cannot rely on
support from any class if there were
intervention that had for its object
the improvement in food conditions
There is not revolutionary feeling
left among the workingman that
could be utilized by the Bolsheviki
against the allies.
"The BoIshevists themselves can
not remain in power indefinitely
The prospect is so appalling that the
people look to Intervention by the al
lies as the only way out of their pres
ent difficulties"

dred condemned army horses and

with the understanding that all the
animals must be killed to relieve the
meat shortage within the occupied
area. All the animals sold had been
inspected and found unfit for mill

termaster Corps, acted as auctioneer,
and butchers from all parts of the
occupied zone attended the sale

this district were worth about $500
each.

man newspapers, and as a result
many inquiries are pouring into Cob
lenz from other cities asking when
the next sale takes place. A great
many of the letters inquire especial
ly regarding mules, as the mule is
said to find better market than a
