BITTER PRIVATIONS
ENDURED HEROICALLY IN RUSSIA.
FOOD SCARCE AND FUEL UNOBTAINABLE. (By Telegraph—Press Association—Copyright) (Received This Day, 10.10 a.m.) NEW YORK, January 29. The fortitude and sacrifices of the Russian people are unequalled in any free country, according to travellers arriving from Moscow, says the “Herald-Tribune.” Dwellings in Moscow are so cold that frost forms on the walls. Men, women and children live and sleep in all their wearing apparel, including overcoats, boots and gloves. Food is scarce and inadequate. Potatoes cost five dollars a pound. Money is worth little and a barter system has developed, in which even funerals are paid for with goods.
