Says Russia Can Live Apart.
"Once we organize our resources
Russia can go on living apart from
the rest of the world much longer
than the rest of the world can go on
living apart from Russia. We are an
iagrarian country. Every peasant pro-
duces bread. Our railroads are being
re ha biiitated and with the railroads
carving this bread to our large cities
; our people will in the main be toler-
ably taken care of: whiio without
RusSia's raw materials the industrial
icenters of England, America and all
the world will soon be facing the
problem of Unemployment.
However" kamenev resumed after
brief reflection. Il am not really try

cas- problem. | am merely speaking
for Russia. Russia is today the only
united nation or earth. We have no
more jealousies and quarrels in Rus
hot
There are no offended nationalities in
Russia.
Jewish Question Solved.
THE Jewish question. for instance,
has been completely solved in Russia.
There simply is no Jewish question
There is no antiSemitism. The once

bloodshed uselessly"
Are there no opposition parties in
Russia kamenev was asked
There are opposition parties" he
said. But they are less powerful
now than they were two years ago
when the bolshevists first came into
power. The leaders of these parties
are detached from the Russian peo-
pie; they are living abroad. The
only party in Russia that commands
the respect and good will of the bulk
of the Russian people is the COM

and Receive Three
Months Pay.

MEXICO CITY, August 27.-Work
of mastering out the followers of
Francisco Villa, the former rebel
chieftain, was completed this after

Gen. Eugenio Martinez. who su-
perintended the operation. All of
Villas men surrendered their arms
and ammunition and received pay for
three months. The balance of their
years pay. which was promis ed, will
be given them later. Officers were al
lowed to retain their pistols for self
defense. and all the men were given
safe conducts and transportation to
their farms in the states of Chihua-
hua. Durango and Coahuila. All took
an affectionate farewell of Villa, who
advised them to avoid politics and de-
vote themselves to rustic pursuits
Villa and Gen. Martinez will go
tomorrow to Canutillo, state of Du-
range. where the former will be es-
ia bli shed on a farm.

CORRESPONDENCE OF The Star.

Correspondence OF The Star.
REVAL, July 2S.-"Eighty per cent
of Russia's population-that is, near
ly all of her peasantry-is today eat
ing better than it has eaten for three
centuries.
Under the old regime the peasant
had to sell nearly everything he pro-
duced in order to meet his taxes; ne
ate meat on holidays only. The Rus
sian peasant now eats meat every
day: he eats his own milk, eggs and
butter"
Lev Kamenev, head of Russia's peace
delegation, on his way TO England
thus replied to the frequently relter-
ated statement that all of Russia Is
slowly being wiped out by hunger.
How about the cities?' he was
asked.
IN the cities" kamenev replied,
there is considerable want. But give
our railroads for transporting 1000
to cities. instead of rushing troops
and ammunitions to half dozen pat
tie fronts. and in three months our
cities. too. will be we'll fed
NJ. kamenev received the CORE
spondent in his private car in the
railroad yards just outside the city OF
Reval. He was sitting in small ana
marvelously compact office. Ihere
were two more such ofhces IN lhe
same car. in which sat other members
of the peace delegation. IypeWrlters
were clicking and secretaries were
rushing with papers and kilograms
from one to the other of the smail
office compartments. In the dinlnS
room a Steaming SamoNar stooo on
the table and red guard dressed IN

Kamenev is thirty-eight years old
but his blond beard and mustache
are literally streaked with gray and
he gives the impression of being
man of forty-five. He is Jurist by
training, graduate of the University
of Moscow. and his judicial temper
dominates his speech and action. lie
speaks slowly and deliberately. He
speaks with emphasis. but without
gesture. He talks about bolShevism
and communism with the same logic
and tempo with which lawyer dis
cusses a clients business.
Kamenev's father was an engineer
and we'll to do. But for the past
nineteen years Kamenev has been a
revolutionist and spent considerable
time in exile in Paris and elsewhere
in Europe. He was arrested at the
beginning of the war in 1914 and.
with several members of the duma,
was condemned to death. The sem
tence was committed to life imprison-
ment in Siberia.
Broke Prison Gates
He was sent to one of the north
ernmost eniseisk-where
he remained until the revolution of
February. 1917, broke open the gates
of all Siberian prisons. He came to
Petrograd posthaste. took a promi-
nent part in the bolshevist movement
and was soon elected chairman of
the Moscow soviet of peasants and
workers deputies.
The entente has hoped to conquer
us by arms" kamenev continued,
but has failed. 1t is now hoping
that perhaps the bolshevist govern
ment will break down under the
