proper from 1rkutsk to the Ura1s, where eight months ago Bolshevism was welcomed as a relief from the Ko1chak regime, is ready for another change to anything which will bring economic betterment. Proceeding farther westward the traveller finrs European Russia like a great mobi- lized army in starvation circumstances and cursing the Reds, yet executing their orders passively.
 The apportionment of food as well as the relative proximity to military headquarters apparently is a vital factor in maintaining Soviet support. Everywhere through Si- beria one hears stories that the peas ants are refusing to plant their fields or raise stock because of repeated acquisitions. Throughout the central part of this eastern region where the military oppression has been largely eliminated, efforts are being made to establish card systems for the ex- change of manufactured soous in re- turn for agricultural products.

TRADE GETTING DULL.

Tokio, Aug. 13-The trade between this country and the United States is grad ua.lly becoming dull. due to the financial panic which makes cargo movements inactive. Japanese ships plying between Japanese and Am meri- can ports are carrying very limited cargoes on both inward and outward trips, especially the former.
 The dull shipments on the home ward trip of the ships is mainly due to the cancellation of orders previous ly contracted for by Ja apanese import CTS who had to resort to cancellation because of the financial depression and tight money situation.
