MENDICANTS OF
PETROGRAD IN
SORRY PUGHT
ARCHANGEL, June 16 (by mail).—
Ivan Davidoff, a wood supply contrac
tor, who has recently returned from
Petrograd, says he found that city al
most unrecognizable. Tramways were
approaching a standstill, and there
was hardly any artificial lighting. He
often saw starved horses fall down and
die in the streets.
“Everywhere one saw starved and
emaciated people, unable to walk, ly
ing or sitting in the streets, begging
for bread,” he said. “Later these
heartrending spectacles were seldom
to be seen, as Red Guards collected
such mendicants and took them away.
No one I knew could tell me for cer
tain their ultimate fate, but often one
heard the communist motto, ‘Anyone
who does not work shall not eat, and
must die.’
“The poor-houses, hospitals for in
firm or helpless wounded soldiers were J
all used as barrack and commune
headquarters, the inmates being
throw-out to die.
“Many starving children of work
men were expatriated to so-called
grain-growing regions, but, unfortu
nately, now no district can grow
enough grain to feed itself adequately.
The lack of food, especially in the cap
ital, was appalling.
“In Petrograd and Moscow many an
honest and educated woman has been
forced to sell herself for food or cloth
ing. The people look like the inmates
of a hospital, and the death rate is
phenomenal.”
FORMER HEADQUARTERS
OF GERMAN EMPEROR
USED BY MAIL SORTERS
COBLENZ, June 21 (by mail).—
American soldiers employed in the
United States postoffice in Coblenz
have been sorting mail in school rooms
which during the early days of the
war were used by the then German
emperor for holding councils of war
with his chiefs.
Soon after the beginning of the war
in 1914 the emperor was in Coblenz,
for several months, spending several
hours each day with army generals,
who were then using the school house
as army headquarters. The school
building is near the center of town,
and several large rooms on the first
floor were taken over for the army
postoffice a few days after the Ameri
cans took over the Coblenz bridgehead
last December.
TO BUILD THEATERS
ON MOTOR LORRIES
LONDON, June 25 (by mail).—A
scheme is on foot here to build the
aters on motor lorries for the purpose
of touring country districts. It would
be a return to the methods of the
drama’s infancy in England. The old
mystery plays of the sixteenth century
were performed on platforms on
wheels, and the theater was wheeled
from point to point.
It’s the flavor and the grain which
make the bread at the City Bakery
famous.
