Batum, Sept. 3o.-CBy q STAFF Cor
respondent Of the Associated Press):-
Entrance into Russia through the
Black Sea may be compared to visit
to dreaded battle front. There's lots
of fear Of death and destruction but
somehow one does not find them.
These elements to uneasy sleep seem
to lurk always Just a little farther
along.
The traveller has himself rammed
full of vaccines, vaccines against chol-
era, pest, smallpox and typhoid, Is
made properly Ill in advance. only to
find that these diseases are Just now
out of season. The only thing he
needs Is quinine, not for himself bur
for malaria patients about the sea
ports.
Fear of Russia should not be based
on fear of violence, Of bodily hurt, so
much as to the discomfort Of living In
land where social and economic con-
ditions are very hard. Money is hard
to earn. Dock laborers at Batum,
when they work, may earn 5000 rubles,
or eight cents, per day, and this Is the
price OF two pounds of bread.
After all the stories Of revolutions
and counter revolutions, the murders
and whatnot, one is distinctly sur
prised to find people going about as
usual. There seem to be more people
than ever before. One wonders where
they come from. They swarm about
the cities, tho train stations in the
country. thick as ants.
Yet rich and poor seem alike en-
gagged in the process Of getting out of
Russia. Many of the rich have done
so. Their old life has been broken
up, their social life. their life Of edu-
eating and rearing families. Their
manner Of living and thinking doesn't
fit into the new chaos, and they prefer
to get to Constantinople-so much so
that 1t has become almost a Russian
city-and thence filter through to
Europe and there live on charity and
their wits. Some manage to retain
wrecks of their fortunes. for old Rus
STA was rich beyond the dreams Of
