and depart. In this village. however.
the inspector found that the kitchens
were operating more or less on cafe
terra basis. After the first sitting they
remained open until a certain hour
Then. as the children came, they were
served.
The A. R. A. man protested to the To-
cal authorities.
why don't you divide the children
into sections" he said, land feed each
section at a certain time?"
Quite impossible. they told him.
But Why" he demanded.
The reason was simple. So scarce
were clocks and. watches among the
peasants in stavTopol that it was i'm
practical to fix more than an approx
mate hour for feeding. The. children's
stomachs. to be sure. acted as excellent
timepieces. never failing to ring in those
due for the first sitting. But as to
drawing a rigid minute mark thereafter
that was out Of the question, when the
only guide for the parents was the posi-
tion Of the sun.
THE endurance of the Russian
women under their present trials
also comes in for its share of praise
from the relief workers. Women are
always in charge of the government
homes to which refugee children and
starving waits are brought. and
where an attempt is made to feed
them and give them medical care.
In one of these homes typhus had
broken out badly, and all the woman
workers except one doctor had con-
tracted the disease. Many of the
children had it, too. Cleanliness.
only cures for typhus. This home
was crowded. The children had been
for the most part picked up in the
streets and were dirty and ragged.
There was no soap-soap is at
premium in Russia. where there has
been a lack of fats for many years.
Food was scanty and of poor quality
and there were, of course, no drugs.
In short, it was hopeless for any
one person. however strong, to try
to cope with this situation. This
woman doctor was worn by work and
want of food. She could have saved
herself by going, but it never oc-
CURED to her to do so.
"I am needed" was her simple ex-
pianation to the relief worker.
So she stayed. Unless some miracle
has saved her, 1t is almost inevitable
that she herself is a typhus patient
now.
FINALLY, what does the Russian
l think of the American, as re-
veaIed to him through the A. r. a.
worker? A little incident that oc-
Cured in the New York office al

A young man who spoke English

called "Ahra."
"Ahra," he had been informed in q
letter from his sister in Russia, was
an omnipotent. individual who could
even bring her to America, il her
brother could only find rim. The
sister gave the address Of the A. X

was discovered that she referred 10
it frequently. but never by its full
title. She knew 1t only as "Ahra.'
The brother wanted to know whether

powerful individual and enlist his
aid.

RUSSIAN PARLIAMENT
MET IN CzAR'S PALACE

Moscow, June 5-Three hun
dred members Of the All Russ,
IAN Central Executive Committee
the Parliament Of Russia, mostly
peasants and workmen recently
had their first glimpse Of the
n1agniflcient quarters in which
the Cars lived when in Moscow,
The committee met in the Great
Falace at the Kremlin, which
has not been in any way derang-
ed during the revolution, except
for the placing within it's great
reception and ball rooms Of red
covered wooden tables and ordi,
nary benches which contrast
startlingly with the gilded coll
umns, marble walls, jasper fire
places, silk hangirgs, and gilded
and crystal chandeliers.
The throne room was used as
Q meeting hall. The hall Of st.
George in white and gold with
its parquet floor Of rare wood,
which was once ball room
where the royalty and nobility
CT Russia danced when in Mos
cow, was a lounging room tramp
ed over by booted peasants who
lined up like soldiers when the
cail for dinner to be served in an
adjoining room was sounded.
The committeeman were serv-
ed with cabbage soup and black
bread, a meat dish and tea at
tables covered with roval linen
but equipped with cheap china
and tin spoons. While most OF
the members We're rou ghly dress
ed and soft shirts or blouse coats
predominated, higher officials
o. the Soviet government who
to present legislation
wore stiff white collars, and
some of them could even be de- -
scribed as smartly' attired.

SWEDISH BROKERS AFTER
AMERICAN BUSINESS

stockholm, June 3O-Swedish
business men, observing tha5
american commercial houses
have to employ middlemen in
'iaa;lng with Russian concerns,
are interested in the possibility
OF capturing this international
brokerae. Hence they are offer.
ing to relay American products
t" Russian buyers, and to get
the cash involved from Russia
and transmit it to the United
States. The fact that the United
States has not recognized Russia
creates the need for middlemen
and up to the present time these
have been found largely in Eng
land.
Alex Robert Nordvall. Swed-
lsh High Trade Commissioner to
Washington during the war,
says that Sweden is in an excel
lent position to act as intermed-
iary for American business men
desiring to do trade with Russia.
Not only are the Swedish import
ets and exporters financially
able to carry on a great volume
Of business with Russia, he says,
but they have developed mach
inery for carrying on this busi-
ness equal to that Of any coun-
try now exploiting the Russian
Market.
Sweden has expended millions
Of kronor in establishing free
ports at Stockholm, Gothenburg
and Maimoe with commodious
warehouses where goods bound
for Russia can be safely stored.
Moreover Sweden has been act
iyely trading with Russia for
more tkan two years and has
fall knowledge Of what goods
Russia most needs.
