: Copyright, 1043, by The Indianapolis Times and The Chicago Daily News, Ine. ~~ MOSCOW, Aug. 10.—Moscow, now in its third war year, is beginning to lose some of the aspects of a city under siege
which fell so heavily on the
terrible autumn days of 1941. Officially, the state of siege continues. The proclamation :

danger stemmed that December almost inside the city itself, but it was followed by a winter, then a summer, then an- 18
- other winter of hardship such ‘as few civilian populations, not actually under enemy oc-
cupation have endured. .. Now small, almost imperceptible changes are taking place. There is no guarantee that next winter will not be equally difficult. Much can "happen in the months before the biting, bitter cold of the Russian winter begins its own variety of siege, but the prospects are somewhat lighter. For one thing, there is visible evidence of much more wood in Mr. Nichol Moscow this summer. Huge piles may be seen at regular intervals.
Preparing for Winter
. This wood will be used in those small stoves on which the Soviet people depended for what little heat they had last winter. Relatively few central heating plants ~ pperated at all. Now efforts are being mdde to repair them. Stoves in many instances will again be the only source of heat for many apartments. But this year there will, at least, be a minimum amount of fuel. Last year there often wasn’t any. The basic food position remains unchanged, but two factors are eontributing toward improvement at least during the summer and early autumn. One is greater freedom of travel into and out of Moscow. This means that farmers can bring more products to the city’s 0 markets. Too, in the Moscow district farms are apparently better organized this season than they
“were last.
Food Situation Better
June figures are now available, as example. They show that in addition to rationed deliveries, there | were sold in Moscow markets, 2270 . tons of milk, 2300-tons of potatoes, 1700 tons berries and 190 tons of - mushrooms. . The other factor is kitchen gar-
dens. A million persons—five times |
As many Muscovites—are working | these tiny plots this year as did so last. Potatoes which were almost ‘not existent last year will be the * chief crop. Until last month militia passés were required for any trip beyond Moscow boundaries. Patrols guarded all the roads and checked all documents. ' Now travel is permitted freely within a radius of 60 miles. There has: been no change in the eurfew regulations which are rigidly enforced between midnight and 5 a.m. After 12, Moscow's . Streets are deserted except for army ~ patrols. Nor has -there been any change in air raid precautions and the : blackout. Since the spring of 1942, offices, . bureaus and some of the small businesses which had hgen evacuated, have been gradually returning
