letters from the Turkish capital.
Every line of news to America
about the tremendous fighting in
Asia Minor had to pass the Brit

cable and radio companies which
are in control of communications.
Until the Turkish advance be-

Smyrna and the sea the censors
gave up in despair.

The Tribune flashed the news TO

The Greeks also had censors at

day in formal statements by the roads.
They are the New York Central. Le-

Lackawanna and Western. Their ac-
ton, the statement said was caused
by a desire to eliminate delay in get

At the same time 1t was learned
there were indications that the short

factor behind the drastic action.

UKRAINE HARVEST
NEARLY DOUBLES
LAST YEARS YIELD
Crop Failures in Some
Districts Call for
Outside Aid.

MOSCOW. Sept. IL. - The har-
vest in the Ukraine will return
100000 poods "a pood equals 36,-
112 United States pounds). against
100000 pools last year.
Although there are a number OF
units where there is practically no
harvest at all. owing to another
drought, the Ckranian government
will be able to take care Of them
and distribute 100000 pools in the
sections where the harvests have
failed. Nevertheless, outside aid is
still needed in the Ukraine. accord
ing to Christian Rakovsky. the
Ukranian Lenin. The Ukraine is re.
garded as Russia's grainery.
Needs Farm Machinery.
This aid. however. meet not be in
distribution of foodstuffs. but
merely in supplying agricultural
machinery and implements, in order
to assist the Ukranian peasants to
bring their small farms up to the
prewar standard. or even increase
the actual output. While the
Ukranian manufacturer OF agricul-
tural machinery has resumed work
to its fullest capacity, it is able to
supply only about one-third of the
needed quantity. Consequently, the
state is in neea of importing agri-
cultural machinery OF all kinds. but,
according to Rakovsky, is willing
to do SO only if able to buy at rea-
credits"
Regarding the present harvest,
RakOvSky said that although the
total acreage sown this year. name-
ly 14.s00.O00 dessatines "a dessa-
tine is 81 acres) was about one mil
lion dessatines less than last year
the output is about double the guam
tity of that of the Famine Year
The highest acreage ever sown
was IN the year of 1916, with 49,
100000 dessatines. In that year
every effort was made to increase
the output because the Ukraine was
directly behind the front and con-
sequently the foodstuffs had not to
be transported from far away.
Shortage Of Animals.
The sO0.OOO,Oo0 poods which the
Ukraine returns this year is about
one-third the total Russian harvest
The Ukraine also needs animals
in considerable quantities, which
could be imported from North and
South America. or Canada. The
number of animals has bean reduced
chiefly during the civil war. the war
against Poland. and finally by the
famine.
we are Strengthening all our ef-
forts to increase the acreage, and
expect to reach the figure of 1915
within two or three years. For this
reason we are also giving agricul-
tural concessions and. as a matter
OF fact. have already concluded such
contracts with German and Czecho-
Slovakian firms"
Turning to the industrial situa-
tion of the Ukraine, Rakovsky re-
marked that the industry is suf-
fering chiefly under lack Of ready
cash. which applies to the industry
of all Russia. But" Rakovsky
added. the favorable harvest will
undoubtedly have a good influence
upon the development of other in
dustry."
