thronged the ahores of the little hays
and nendlanda," and gazed in mute
wonder at the white-sailed ship of Uie
navigators.
Today the Islands stand as they did
more than 350 years ago, but the na

Paris. A graphic, eye-witness de
scription of the fearful conditions ex
isting In Petrograd Is given by the Fin
nish lied Cross In an appeal JiiHt Is
sued to tho Red Cross Societies of the
World. It Is accompanied by docu
uieutH prepaied by Professor Zelder
formerly head of the Petrograd Hed
Cross, but now a refugee In Finland.
Tho documents tell the stpry of tho
r.gony of a dying city. Petrogrnd's
present imputation based on the food
cards, now Is from 500,000 to 000,000,
and the former capital of tho czars Is
described as having shrunk to one
fourth its pre-war size. The report

abdominal typhus.
Wreck Houses for Fuel.
"The fuel situation was nover so

torn down for fuel. Tho material Is
distributed equally among the popula

active citizens stcul the quota of wood
from others.
"Attempts to repnlr the streets,
which nre full of holes, owing to burst
ing water pipes, foiled because tho
wood blocks used for pavement hnd
been stolen during tho night for fuel.
"Lighting Is allowed only two hnlf
hours each day, nnd then not nil
houses nre supplied on tho lines fur
nished by tho authorities. Kerosene
costs 4r0 rubles. There are no can
dles. Most homes are la darkness.
There Is no means of trnasportlng
things by waterway, because the
barges were long since demolished for
fuel. Die railway transportation Is
devoted almost exclusively to the dis
tribution of flour. Oaly 200 persona
nre permitted to leave Petrograd dally
by passenger train.
Workmen 'receivo half n ponnd of
bread daily; seme times other food Is
given. The prices of foodstuffs con
tinue to rise to Incredible heights.

As far as the eye can trace there are
