ILL OF
SOVIET REGIME
SEEN AT TIFLIS

Tifis, Georgia.-(By a STAFF Cor
respondent of the Associated
Press.l-Tifis is a city dreary by
day. terrible by night. The last
city of Importance TO come under
the influence of the Bolshevik EN-
blem of the hammer and the
scythe, replacing the double-head-
ed eagle of the empire, here are
contrasted the happy old days of
gaiely and prosperity with the dull
misery of the new regime.
At the railway station, on en-
tering the city, the difference is
seen and felt. Instead of swagger-
ing guards in black boots. black
long coat and flashing silver belts
and swords, are seen a few ill
dressed Red soldiers, looking hun
CRY and uncomfortable in ill-fitting
clothes held together by a loose
belt. Barefooted, dirty, white-faced
ragged boys clamor for a chance to
carry baggage.
Peasant women and bourgeoise
women of the old time stagger
along under loads of baggage or
packages of food and fruit brought
from the country. Broken down
hacks wait for fares, pulled by
thin, underfed horses.
The streets are dirty and i'll
swept, full of holes.
People wear clothes that seem
to belong to another era. Here
where a dozen tongues r spoken
and where 100 tribes used to gath
er in the proud finery of their ma
tional costumes, all is down at the
| heel.
Women often go stockingless.
Their shoes show signs of patches
done over and over again until
they are composed of patches only.
Their skirts may be of old pieces
of silk and their jackets of mill
tary cloth or even the black leath-
er of aviator coats. Shawls have
replaced hats.
The men civilians wear clothes
that are a parody on shabby gen
tiIity. Their top boots r all top,
the soles and heels long since worn
away. all sorts of military odds
and ends, from all the armies of
Europe, contribute to their dress,
khaki puttes, yellow leather jack
cts, British canvas trousers, French
blue caps, United States army
coats.

ceremonies. In one platform was
found a depression which DR..

complicated yet the most interest
