CHITA. Siberia. July 9.-Siberia's s
grim tragedy Is an unwritter drama
and 1t may be witnessed on every
side. There is a "barakholka," or sec
ond-hand market, in every town.
Formerly the reputable citizens did
not go. but now all do. Those who
once had plenty come to sell their re-
naming belongings for a few cents,
so that they may be able to sustain
the terrible struggle while longer.
They are mostly women with rings.
bracelets. trinkets, hand: woven bas-
kets, dishes. laces and worn hats.
They stand in the pitiable. line, which
also includes soldiers carrying watch
es, shoes and undergarments, and rail-
road men with coats, boots and tools.
Boys with playthings and. school
books wander around showing their
wares. -.. ..--..-
The first time I came to a "barak-
holka" / stopped in front of an aged
woman Of refinement with a black
lace cap on her white hair. She had
for sale little silver creamer that
had been used for many years. On 1t
was engraved in Russian. ITO our
loving mother from her children" By
her side was a pretty girl Of twenty.

peddler. who offered Is silver rubles
($3). I'VE need 80 rubles." said the
girl. Father Is ILL.," The Chinaman
refused to give more and the girl
handed. over the shoes. Glancing at
the girls feet I saw that she wore
patched canvas slippers and darned
stockings. 1T is summer now" she
said. with an attempt to smile. '''
'One week later l returned to the
same secondhand market. The same
aged woman was again in the, line,
only now, she had black handker-
chief over her white hair and held
the little lace cap in her hand. When
a Russian woman sells her cap she
has no more to sell.
Where Is the girl?" I inquired.
"She has 20 more clothes to sell" ;"
was the woman's calm reply. Her
furs, dresses and shoes were gone.
She was unwilling to sell herself. SO
she jumped into the river yesterday"
Such an event IL an everyday trag-
edy in Russia.
This Is miy last article" added the
woman. MY sons were killed In the
war. When the food is gone do the
same as the girl did"
A young woman was next IN line.

were cast down bashfully and her
rounded figure suggested that there
