WORK THEIR SALVATION.
Only Chance of Russians Rehabili-
tion nhsnruorc Sav

Ship captains of the Transmarine
Line vessels returning from Russia
are gaining frst-band information OF
conditions at the Russian ports, says
the current issue of Speed Up. At
Reval and Petrograd the stevedoring
is done by medical students, art stu
dents, all classes of women-the ma
jority of them little used TO manual
labor. Under the Soviet regime there
is little maritime protection for YES
sells in the Gulf of Finland and operating
in the hartors of Petrograd and RevaL
There are no buoys, to chart the channel,
and there is no attempt to protect docks
or ships from the hazards of collision
with distractions or other vessels.
Black bread seems to De the principal
food in the cities. In Odessa, when the
grain trucks move through the city
streets, children follow in their wake
TO pick I'D the loose kernels that sift
through the bags and drop on the
wayside. As opposed to the people OF
Petrograd those in the south bear evil
dences of want, and, without exception,
the children are emaciated and very
miserably clothed.
In all the cities there are hundreds OF
factories, but very few, if any, are in
operation owing to the lack of morale,
deterioration OF machinery and INSULT
cheney of capital. The foreign investor
who may eventually rebuild the manu-
! featuring industries OF Russia has little
guarantee at present that he viii re-
ceive any protection for his investment
and, therefore, there IS little foreign
money available to rehabilitate the fac.
tories and railroad equipment.
To the visitor today, says Speed Up
Russia as q nation is completely bank
rupr, not only financially but morally
and industrially. There is little hop
for rehabilitation until the people &C

own salvation and that if one does no

PROBING ZIMMERMANS DEATH
Believed Merchant Might Have Die,
in Fight With Robber.

BY Associated Press 10 Every Evening.
Detroit, Aug. 1s.-The coroner's
staff today started an investigation
into the death OF Edward c. thinner
man. wealthy merchant and theatre
owner OF LaSalIe, Ills. A statement
by friend OF Zimmerman that the
latter usually carried q largo sum OF
money. and that only $14 was found
IN his clothing led authorities to the
belief robbery might have some con-
nection with his death. A physician
who examined the body yesterday said
death was due TO heart disease.
Zimmerman's body was found in a
Mushroom at his hotel. The theory
was advanced that he might have died
in the exertion OF a struggle with a
bandit, or that he was robbed after
death.
