PROPERTY CLASS OF RUSSIA ASKS INTERVENTION

Even Germans Are Preferred to Bolsheviki Rule by Upper Classes. , (By Associated Pr:ta.t VOLOGDA. Russia, July 1. If the Entente Allies will not intervene, let the Germans come. Is the attitude of the formerly wealthy and middle classes of the people of Russia. Most of them here would frankly welcome foreign intervention. This feeling has been the greatest obstacle in any attempt to bring the Russian internal revolution out of the whirlpool of disorder, according to information in the foreign embassies here. Now that the peasants and workmen are having their innings, the property classes are beginning to feel the pinch of denial and even of starvation, experienced , by the poorer classes in Russia for centuries. This is illustrated by the experience of the "bourgeois" family in whose home The Associated Press correspondent lives as "paying guest." This family, once one of the wealthiest in the Vologda government, owned thousands of timber land, several lumber mills, a dozen ships, two glass factories and more than 2,000 acres of land. This is what has happened to these holdings in the past two months: The lumber land has been declared a government monopoly and confiscated ; likewise the shipping. The glass factories and lumber mills have been taken over and operated by the workmen. The peasants have taken the land. Food Prices High. A few days ago the city government (Soviet) Imposed a special tax on the capitalistic class. The family was as

sessed 50,000 rubles

$300,000 Pledged to W. S. S. Fund in Preble County EATON. O., July 1. Approximately $300,000 in pledges was secured in Preble county in the . recent war savings stamps campaign, according to an estimtae made by Harry L. Risinger, of Eaton, chairman of the campaign. He estimated the cash sales at approximately $45,000. Previous to the campaign f8.000 worth of certificates had been absorbed in the county. With the quota of $478,000 for the county, it will be necessary to raise between $50,000 and $55,000 by the close of the present year to attain the county's quota, according to present estimate of Chairman Risinger.

Prices for foodstuffs, wh

btain-

able, are enormous, even.wh. figured at the present rata of international exchangedwhich these Russians don't get. because their money is old money, invested or made when the exchange was two rubles to the dollar. Compared with old standards of prices in Russia, when living was cheap, the prices now are almost unbelievable. White flour cannot be bought except by stealth and in the tiniest quantities. The black flour which all use now makes the blackest of bread. The poorest peasants formerly ate something similar. The cost of this flour formerly was the equivalent of about 25 cents per pood (36 pounds). At present in Vologda each person is allowed 5 pounds of this flour a month, enough to' permit about three thin flices of bread per day. But more is procurable through irregular channels. The correspondent's host bought a pood yesterday for 150 rublesr, Just S00 times the old price. There is nothing else quite as bad ns this, but, with meat, butter and all other foodstuffs the prices are from ten to fifty times the old amounts. Everything is by card: that is, purchases are limited and city (Soviet) controlled, but it is quite possible, if one has enough money, to secure larger quantities by stealth. But the Soviet has quite an effective

wav of controlling this underhanded' trading the "obusk." "Obusk" is Russian for search. A dozen or so armed soldiers and Red Guard swoop down now and then on the house the correspondent occupies and confiscate the I surplus supplies. I When to these difficulties are added confiscation of bank accounts of the j wealthy families their plight can be imagined.
