MOSCOW FACES
FOOD SHORTAGE
Peasants Refuse to Sell Corn
Soviet Officials at kremlin
Have Plenty.

Riga, May 25.-(By the Associat-
ed Press. Moscow is near starva-
ton, it is said in reports from that
city, because peasants refuse to sell
their corn and are keeping it for
seed. The decree issued by the
bolsheviki government restoring
freedom of trade, does not seem to
have removed the menace of food
shortage.
Governmental commissions sent
to nearby villages to purchase corn
are said to have returned empty
handed, and the hope entertained by
the soviet government that it might
obtain supply Of flour from the
Caucasus has vanished, as several
million pools of corn have been
destroyed by rebellious elements in
the Caucasus region.
Workers are leaving Moscow to
hunt for food in the villages. A
pound Of bread sold for 1900 rubles
TWO weeks ago, and it is declared
tne price today is 5000 rubles.
Sugar is selling at $4,000 rubles a
pound. The kremlin, the historic
castle in Moscow and present seat
OF the soviet commissaries, is said
70 be the only place in Russia where
munger is not felt. The high soviet
omclais import large quantities of
