Open For Business-Thefts
Gambling, Drinking and
Most Anything

MOSCOW. Feb. 4.--This city has be-
come wide open town for the first
time in its modern history. 1t Is open
for lusiness, for thefts. for holdupe.
for fun, for disease and disaster. for
speculation. for drinking, for any and
all things man or woman. may devise.
The old timers OF the staid pre-war
regime can't recognize anything but
the snow. 1t used to be, before the war,
a sort of country. family town, as COM
pared to the gayer skylarkfngs of st.
Petersburg. a.,
During the revolutions, It lost this
friendly aspect of quIet and, as the
Soviet settled down here, 1t became
strictly moral and severe. with only the
grand opera to tighten the load OF pro-
paganda and thousands OF orders on
how to live and prosper and be happy.
Notwithstanding closed shops, lack iof
bread and medicine and clothes.

Church bells ring out for prayers.
Communists and bourgeoise. peasants
and princesses are all scramblinx for
more money that they may not fall into
the abyss of famine. Cabmen are fight
ing for higher rates. grain dealers for
more rublcs per bushel, bakers for
more per pound. candy and cookery
shops are blooming out on every corr
ncr. wine and vodka are sold in MILL
merry shops and the so policemen of the
town have long since quit botherinE
