PARIS. June lO.-The ugly atti-

a fear among bolshevist officials
that the dissolution of the soviet
regime is imminent, according to

sinking ships, the commissaries
keep airplanes, pilots. merchandising

been promised huge rewards for
flying out of Russia when the smash
comes.
Talk of War Peril.

Many high bolshevist officials are
taking their wives and children to

They pretend to be making ON

Peasants Burn Freight Cars,
Famishing peasants are tearing
up railway tracks and burning
freight cars whenever they are left
unprotected, in order to prevent the
