Whoever goes hungry in Kurope this
winter, it will not ho the American
soldiers. The daily stocks on hand
reported by the quartermaster's tie
partment of the American expedition
ary forces gives an idea of supplies
only when it is remembered that they
represent reserves held between daily
oonsumption and arrivals known to
bo enroute Potatoes furnish a strik
ing example. The stock in hand at
the last report was X,200.000 pounds,
and yet the American forces art* re
coving :»0,000 tons of potatoes a month,
which makes r»u.uoo,000 pounds, chiefly
trom Ireland. Potatoes being perish
able. it would not be wise to keep
double the daily stocks in hand. (Mb

ARCHANCKL, Nov. 1. via London.
Dec. 30 (Correspondence of the Asso
dated Press). Tales of horrrors
within the territory controlled by the
Bolshevik government are brought
here almost daily by some adventur
ous Russian, often a young officer who
has made bis way through the Bol
shevik lines. These stories are pub
lished in the Archangel newspapers
I under the headline. "The Russian
| Nightmare."
Two of the members of the Arch
angel City diima who recently returned
from Moscow, where they had been
taken under arrest, quoted Nikolai Le
! nine, the Bolshevik premier, as say
ing "Our days arc* numbered. We
know that, but in leaving the power
we will shut the doors in a way to
make- Kumpe shudder."

Another speaker of the Soviet gov

but that the main danger now lay with

AUSTRIANS DO
MUCH DAMAGE
AW PIAVE
ROM 10, Dec 27 (Correspondence of
the Associated Press),—The distress
ing effects of the war and of Austrian
occupation still are evident in the re
conquered Italian provinces north and
east of the Piave. The country in the
vicinity of Oderzo, a small village
about six miles from the lower course
of the Piave. is a scene of utmost deso
lotion. It was here that the Duke of
Aosta's army advanced so swiftly and
deeply into the Austrian lines as to
threaten the communications of the
Austrian army oeeuping ConegUano.
thus forcing the Austrians to retreat, j
So intense was the bombardment that
very little is left standing In tile coun |
try all around Oderzo. Many of the |
houses now are merly heaps of debris.
I lie village ot Oderzo itself was not 1
so seriously damaged as were the out ;
King houses, as the Italian artillery
men tried to spare it, but it beers mi

even the panes of glass from tie- f
windows, the doors, kitchen utensils. f;
and in fact literally everytht.g tliat if

Owing lo the fact that the poptila :f

small children were mired in one :f
