'fail to secure enough, and people ure

It is forbidden to bring- food from
the country to the city privately. The

! NEW YORK. July 4. Russia is not
Btarving to death, as reports indicate.
Parts of Russia nre hungry, some peo
ple as starving, but still others nre
'over-fed. As in th days of the old
.regime, Russia is the land of ex
tremes, in food as in everything else,
i- In the public markets, aloiis the
istreets, of Moscow, you can buy prac
tically any kind of food you want,
j You can net any quantity you are tril
ling to pay for. The famous Moscow
' Butcher Row'- flourishes as never be
'fore with plenty of fresh meat for
jthose who have money. , .
' The soviet government once for
bade the sale of food in these open
markets on the ground that it was
'capitalistic evploitation: At once food
. becot-ie more scarce and prices soared
'unbelievably. - Business continued
j "good' though not "as usual' it was
conducted on the quiet.
: JSuy, SHI oil 7uii't.
' Execution; and other favorite forms
of punishment failed to end buying
and selling on the quiet, ami the bol
sheviks finally adopted a policy of
ignoring private business in food.
It was found that suppression of
open sale of food had a decided effect
on public morale. People became his
tiie and gloomy when they could not
buy if they-had the money,
i The. soviet government aims to
supply the people with food

apple: copts twenty-five -rubles. A ,
ruble formerly corresponded to the i
American quarter. Now it is worth '
five or six cents: Bolshevik rubles,
are plentiful. .
A few Moscow prices ure: cheese
sixty rubles per pound; butter, forty; ;
lemons, sixty; milk,, twelve rubles per
pint; meat, sixty; susar, eighty; ba
con ,one hundred; potatoes, fifteen
rubles per pound. !
Petrorrad prices are higher. Some

I Getting food into cities pays big
money. Much ingenuity Is . shown.
Probably the greatest profiteers Hre
the railroad people. They are amass
ing fortunes. A number of timcs,aIong
the railroad the train will stop at the
edge of a small town or even in a field.
Tho engineer and brakeman make a j
dash for the nearest house and come
running back with sacks of food, i
which they hide usually in the loco-;
motive. Other members of the train
crew also stock tip. often holding a j.
train for fifteen or twenty minutes to
buy food from farmers. , i
; It is' seldom" that trains are exam
ined, and railroad employes are abolt ,
to smuggle their goods to merchants i
under cover of darkness. Poth the
railroaders and the merchants make
from five hundred to a thoummd per
cent on 'their money. Railroad Jobs
are in demand. !

Theoretically restaurants catering I
to tho genmal public are under the j
ban. You are supposed to be assigned
to a certain place to eat all of your
meals, If you do not have a family
and live at home. The city eommls- I
sairo assigns you. If you do not like
it, you can lump it.
As a matter of fact,' restaurants do
run in quiet spots, even in Moscow.
You can get a surprisingly good meal,
sufficient in quantity and qualitv.
Soup, meat, vegetables, dessert and
coffee In one of these places costs you
a hundred and twenty-five rubles.
Hut you can get enough, provided
you have the money. In the country
prices are far better. At railroad sta
tions along the lines other than the
Moscow-Petrograd route you cair buy
milk. boiled eggs, cheese, butter and
bread from the peasants at prices that
are not unreasonable provided, you are
benefiting by the exchange from Am
erican to Russian money.
The big problem is with the poor of
the big cities. They cannot get enough
at the co-operatives, even those who
get the full hard workingman's ra-
ttori, which is allowed to growing chil
dren, also. The light worker's ra
tion is still worse, and the bourgeoisie ,
allowance is not enough to keep one
n health.
Despite the steadily increasing
wages, people who do not have some'
"graft' or outside means of getting
money are hard hit, in Petrogtvid es-
peciiilly. Tn other parts of iiMsia, ,
even Moscow, people look sufficiently I
The country has plenty, but it
cannot be brought the cities, owing in (

roads. j
