Many of the orphanges have near
ly as many attendants as they have
orphans. To American eyes, the rail
ways seem to be overstaffed. Trains
and stations are alive with officials
and guards, many of whom seem un
necessary because of the general
quiet that prevails.
Russia always was document mad
and it seems even worse now thar
1t was under former regimes. Endless
rows of employees are busy making
documents and reports in nearly .ev
cry government building. Statlsti
clans are at work everywhere.
Bolshevist officials are not blind
to the overstaffing of the departments
and the inefficiency of many of the
workers. They fill the Moscow ant
provincial papers with appeals fol
greater diligence on the part of EN-
ployes and a reduction of forces no
engaged in productive labor. Thf
also complain bitterly of the red tap
which slows down all government
business and ,clamor for simplificatiol
and decentralization.
But, after all, the railways and th
telegraphs and the telephones an,
posts are in much the same hand

umphed. The men who knew tn
technic of the various public servic
organizations had to be recalled YER
largely. Many of them make no pre-
tension that they are Communists o
even Socialists and their work !
done in an extremely perfunctor
manner.

Government everywhere, nothing

gets in entering the Bolshevist cap
ital today.
All the hotels are government com
mittee headquarters. The same is
true of department stores, Office build

theaterS.
Queues of Russians and foreigners
are waiting in the streets before most
larger buildings for permits to buy
railway tickets or perform some or
binary transaction such as a New
Yorker would dispose of over the
telephone in five minutes.
The motor cars are all government
cars and are monopolized by govern
ment employees. The street cars are
run by the government and govern
ment employees, especially workmen
have first call on the few cars which
run chiefly at times when workmen
are going to or from work, Other
folks may take the few carriages
which ply the main streets for hire
at prices beyond the reach of ordin
ary government salaries.
Railway trains are few and seem
to be crowded largely with govern
ment employees and soldiers. Passen
ger trains far exceed freight trains
on all lines and every coach has 9

from massing on the trains at sta
