1t has been our observation that the
meek are most likely to inherit the dearth.
We have been talking with United
States vice consul recently returned to this
country after an unpleasant experience
with the Bosheviki. He was thrown into
jail, together with another American con.

all natonalities and pursuits, on vague
charge OF "counter.revouton," and re.
mained in captivity for over seventy days.
His Imprisonment was marked by every
possible circumstance of hardship and anx.

herded five together into cell intended
only for one; they were allowed nine
minutes a day out of their cells; they were
fed on slice Of black bread and portion
of thin cabbage soup per day. They slept
on the floor; they were continually told
that they were about to be taken out and
shot, and, after the almost daily executions
of some OF their fellow prisoners. one of
their guards used to come and tell them
humorously just where the bullets had
struck the victims.
They were never given any semblance
of a trial, and all these things happened
in spite of the two consuls having complete
diplomatic papers and correct passport
from the Bolshevik official supposedly in
charge of the town where they were sta.
toned. The only explanation that they
could get for their Imprisonment was that
the Allies were killing Bolsheviki in the
northern provinces and the Red govern.

We asked the consul what Washington
said about all this, but he would not COM

Not only are some foodstuffs declin-
Ing in cost to the consumer, but the
price of wearing apparel such as tex

the review says.
Business continues at an extremely
high level" and confidence of satis-
factory solution of the wage and price
problems was reported from all sec
lions of the country
During August factors which had
not hitherto arrested much attention
exercised great influence on the busi-
ness situation" the boards statement
said. reference is made, of course,
/ to the problem of commodity prices,
in particular those going to make up
the cost Of living. and TO the conse-
luent condition of labor unrest.
"A movement toward lower prices
appears to be in progress in certain
directions, prices of certain foodstuffs
are declining. as a feeling of conser-
vatism is noticeable In certain lines,
such as the textile and shoe indus
tries. I'm which price advances had pre-
/ yiously been most marked, 'gesales' at
some concession In price being re-

confidence that satisfactory solution
of the price and wage problems will
be reported The actual volume OF
business transacted continues NJ an
extremely high level for the present
season Of the year although transpor-
tation difficulties and shortage of la
/ Dor have been hampering factors In
certain lines.
'tThe agricultural outlook on the
whole is distinctly less favorable than
4 month ago. although the large acre
age sown in certain cases will COM
oensate for decreased yield per acre.
Cotton in particular is in poor condi-
lion.
'Reaecting the feeling Of uncertain
ty which prevails, the volume of spec
nlation has abated. and declines in
the price of securities have occurred
The general business situation, how
ever, is at bottom strong"
Discussing labor conditions, the
board recorded that reports from the
majority OF districts designate the sit
nation as unsettled"
In certain districts decreasing eff
cheney of labor is remarked, which Is
Ascribed to relaxation from wartime
pressure for maximum production. At
the same time additional demands
made by the workers have been grant
cd, in large part due TO the general
shortage of labor which exists in many
sections.
