MORE KULTUR
Thousands of Russians and Fin
nish Red Guards imprisoned in a
secret camp at Friedenort, near Kon
igsberg. Germany, are living uni
dying amid terrible conditions, ac
cording to a neutral who arrived in
Holland recently, after a long visit
in Germany. Many of them, be said,
are virtually naked, ,nd tile re
mainder are clad in rags. Featns
are common, and he predicted that
with the coming of .rinter most of
these still alive would lensh frcm
exposure.
Food conditions in West Prussia,
this informant said, are by no means
as good as in East Prussia, the home
of the Junkers. Ample food was
obtainable at fairly reasonable
prices in the East, in consequence
of which the population was com
paratively cheerful. To this situa
tion he ascribed the continued re
sistance of the Junkers to the de
sire for a quick peace, which, he
stated, was growing rapidly in other
parts of the country.
The wreckage caused by the Rus
sian invasion of 1S1A was still evi
dent, according to the traveler, who
found the streets of Gumbinnen in
a ruined condition Reconstruction
military works, however, was go
ing forward steadily by the forced
labor of many Russians and Italian
i risoners, who were being worked
on railways, bridges, barracks n-.i
fortifications.
BOLSHEVIKI FAILURE
Failure of the Bolsheviki to con
trol Siberia was partly due to the
■ fact that the leaders of the Pro
j visional Siberian government have
j organized “co-operative unions”
I throughout the country which have
i welded the people into one great
| family, hostile alike to the blandish
! ments of radicalism and of the Ger
mans.
I
Twenty-nine iV these bodies were
! formed in villages and counties
■ shortly after the beginning of the
j revolution, according to a statement
j made by Arcady Petroff, deputy min
I
• ister of foreign affairs of autono-1
■ mous Siberia, and number about
: 100.000 conservative Socialists,
Democrats an/ army officers of the
i former regime living in the region
I between Ural and Irkutsk These
j organizations are secret and while
1 each is separate and independent
entity, all are united for mutual
benefit for the maintenance of the
provisional government, financing
and the transaction of business.
Mr. Petroff, declared it was owing
I to the assistance of these societies i
in providing arms.' munitions, food
and clothing that the Czeeho-Slovaks
have been so successful against the
Lenine-Trotsky troops. The people
of Siberia, he said, were anxious
when he left Siberia to see the
country along the railway cleared
of the Bolsheviki and order and
tranquility restored by the Allies.

MANY JEWS SUFFERING ■
WHERE KAISER CONTROLS
LONDON'.—Thousands of Jews in
Poland and Lithuania, idle and des
titute, are described as in a “sorry
plight” by a representative of the
Dutch Relief Committee
Shortage of raw material and
lack of machinery have cut the
means of earning a livelihood from
a vast proportion of the Jewish
population in both countries, he*
says, and the mortality is exceed-1
ingly high, particularly among the;
young. j
Conditions in Vilna are said to be .
unusually bad, more than half of I
the 57,000 Jews there being in ab-!
ject poverty. Deaths which normally
were 8 per cent have risen to 44 4
per cent and in Warsaw here in j
1917, the rate of mortality showed
an increase of 4 per cent for non
Jews, the statistics show an in-,
crease in the death toll of the Jews
of 21 per cent.
