BAY0NETSUSED IN MASSACRES
 BY BOLSHEVIKl

LONDON, March 22 Correspond ence Of the Associated Press) Re ports of Bolshevik atrocities in the Perm district which has dealt largely in generalities now have been SUD- plemented by statements of results of an investigation by Siberian authori- ties which British officials regard as authentic. They deal with 123 specific cases of death and torture and the examination of 52 bodies of persons alleged to have been killed by Bolsheviki.
 Y One of the worst cases described is that of girl of nineteen years who was charged in December, 1918, with espionage. She was tortured by being pierced thirteen times in the same wound with bayonet. She lived, however, and has made an affidavit to tEese details.
 One group of twenty-two were killed at Irbit by Let's and afterwards the Bolsheviki continued to take ran- som money from relatives of the vic tims from whom the crime was con- cealed, it is asserted.
 At Ekaterinburg eighteen persons were shot at the sewerage dump on January 29, last, despite protests of consuls there, says the Siberian re- port. The consuls were told that the victims met death in revenge for the killing of one Malsheff who lost his life in battle with the Czechs.
 Of 300 priests in the Perm diocese, the report says, 46 have been killed. Two monasteries were pillage6.
 Examination of the 52 bodies, the authorities say, shows a preponder- ance of bayonet wounds in the back but in other instances mouths were slit, fingers and hands cut off and the heads of the victims smashed.

FOOD SITUATION IN
 BOHEMIA IS SERIOUS

BERNIE, April 26 (by Associated Press). - The food situation in Bo- hemia is so serious that the Czecho- Sloyaks are threatened with famine, writes a correspondent from Prague. That city, the normal population Of which is about 600,000 now has be- tween 9OO,OOO and 100000 inhabi- tants and this sudden influx has caused extraordinary difficulties in providing food.
 The last reserves of flour and other bread constituents will be exhausted within a few weeks. Coal is so scarce that the ration is reduced to two pounds a. day for each family, suffi- cient for the most elementary necess1- ties of cooking. There Is utter lack of meat. The deficiency in potatoes is estimated to be nearly 300,OOO tons. Rice, coffee, tea and other foodstuffs have disappeared from the country.
 The mortality rate at Prague among children under fourteen years of age attains the appalling figure of forty per thousand, as compared With ap' proximately ten per thuosand In nor nal times. The mortality rate among child-bearing women has increased from three per cent to thirty-four per cent.

STARVATION IS NOW RAMP ANT
 INPETR0CRAD

LONDON, April 7 Correspondence of the Associated Press). Appalling incidents of the tragedy of starvation in Petrograd are revealed by writer in the Ruskoje Slovo, newspaper published at Libau.
 "Is life at Petrograd really as ter rible as people and as the newspapers describe it?" he asks. Tt is difficult for me to answer this question:; diff f1cult to return to the exciting and fantastic moods evoked by hungry, abandoned Petrograd.
 Educated people beg for aims in the streets and hang around public eating houses gazing piteously into the eyes of those who eat and waiting greedily in case anyone should leave some morsel behind.
 Children rummage in the refuse pits and ravenously devour heads of herrings and all the things dispised even by the hungry Petrograd house. wife, all the things undiscovered even by the lean, enfeebled Petrograd cats.
 I will not tell of the terrible judicial proceedings where ten-year- old dehumanized boys admit with sullen cynicism that they deliberately killed little brother or sister who embittered their lives and devoured all the bread rations. All these things made up the chronicle of daily hap penings when we still had a press,
 How do they live who have not become wild beasts? They are all hungry and hunger tortures them all. But each knows that all the others are hungry and that is why no one speaks of his hunger Human suffer- ing has lost it's individuality. Who will pity me if I nearly die of hunger when everyone is hungry himself? Everyone will turn away and say in surly voice: T, too, am dying
 Men and women cease to com plain. They drop in the streets through sheer starvation but you sell dom hear anyone complain about his hunger his own torturing enervatng hunger They all pretend to be busy with their wonted affairs as though they had come to an unspoken agree nent, as though their customary ex- istence were still going on and noth- ing had altered.
 "A school girl is running along with her bundle of books to catch an from her body, her little face has drawn together so that it is now about the size of fist. She is assuredly hungry, but she runs as she used to run in days long ago to catch the car a though she must run on and on.
 On a garden path little boy is playing His mother calls him and gives him a piece of some doubtful flour substitute. He eats it very care fully and collects all the crumDs ana returns to his game. Nor does his mother groan or sigh, but hurriedly takes from her little basket a worn stocking and mends it. Assuredly she has forgotten the remembrance of food, yet she hurries on with her work.
 You can feel strain, an inhuman effort in the present daily life of Pet rograd You feel that everything is only held together by the power of imagination that may cease at any moment.
