AVIATION FATALITIES 3
LOW RECORD REPORTED FOR WEEK
ENDED JULY SO.
PETROGRAD, June IS. (Correspond
ence of the Associated Press.) Petro
grad is a city of despair and near
starvation.
A great majority of the two million
persons now crowded into the once
proud capital of Peter the Great, know
what it means to be without food and
know that Winter is coming; with worse
In store.
The people talk, dream and when
they can, eat food. Long: lines form
early in the morning- before the shops
to buy food. Thousands storm Incom
ing: trains In a wild scramble for food
brought in by peasants and traveling;
soldiers. In front of every shop
window where foodstuffs are dis
played, people stand and graze long
ingly. Petrograd is a city with its pockets
full of worthless money. Money presses
are working- overtime and wages are
increasing, but neither can keep up
with the rising prices.
Street Vendors Mobilize.
The Nevsky Prospekt, "the" street of
Petrotgtrad. is picturesque evidence of
the city's interest in food. In this sea
son of white nights every hour of the
20 of daylight sees It lined from one
end to the other with street vendors,
selling cakes and chocolate and candles
and queer little pancakes called "blee
neys," and sugar in lumps from care
fully guarded little boxes.
- Persons who formerly owned auto
mobiles and lived In palace-like homes
are selling candy and biscuits In the
streets to earn their living. Their cus
tomers are opulent sailors and work
men who "buy biscuits at fabulous
prices because even they, part of the
time, cannot get bread.
One need not be surprised If the lady
dressed in silks and satins once a
member of the bourgeois who sells a
biscuit on the corner addresses him
In any of the two or three foreign
languages she knows.
All on Working; Basis.
Then one may buy newspapers from
grey beards In frock coats and silk
hats and former army officers in shiny
boots. All are trying to earn a living
in the "commune" of Petrograd. where
property is confiscated and incomes
have vanished.
Some of - those on the Nevsky are
girls, pretty ones, and they walk the
long length of the street all day and
Into the night, asking for the little
postage stamps that pass for money
in Russia now because they are hun
gry. And there are other girls, and
the number grows larger every day,
-who do not exactly beg, but look wist
ful and hungry and sell themselves, in
stead of biscuit or chocolates or news
papers, to the rollicking sailors and
debonnair speculators.
One of the mysteries of Russia is
where the vendors of cakes and bis
cuits get the things they sell. There
is absolutely no flour to be had and
the bread allowance per person which
one sometimes does not get Is half a
pound daily for the proletriat and one
eighth of a pound dally for the
bourgeois.
Mystery Bread Sold.
The bread is black and heavy and
Its ingredients cannot be identified.
Sugar cannot be obtained in the chops.
In the homes, dried cabbage and what
bread is available is the diet for the
majority. Eggs and milk are high in
price and extremely scarce.
Formerly an income of 200 rubles a
month was comparative opulence. Now,
according to the best estimates avail
able, it costs from 2500 to 3000 rubles
a month to maintain a family of three
in anything like comfort. Most of the
families in Petrograd, even with wages
soaring, have less than 1000 rubles
month.
But even the wealthy suffer hunger
pangs because transportation Is crip
pled and the city Is cut off from The
Ukraine, Its principal flour and sugar
producing territory and Irom the near
by Finnish and Baltic communities
that once supplied it with butter, milk,
eggs and vegetables.
Hotels Practice Conservation.
In the city's largest hotels, some
formerly among the show places of
Europe, there is no electric light, no
elevators, no hot water and, generally.
no food.
One provides always his own bread
and must keep it under lock and key.
A dinner in one of the better class
restaurants today costs 40 rubles.
But the city struggles on. Now des
perately, and now nonchalantly. It
strives to adapt itself to the topsy-
turveyness or its present life.
