Archangel, the most important city in the Arctic Circle, which for _tbeee and a half centuries has silently car- ried on its struggle against its great foe, the ice, has suddenly been brought into prominence by the World war. Many British troopers, who were unaware of the existence of this valiant little city five years ago; are now having their first acquaintance with the bleak winter' of the Far North, and are there meeting people from all parts of the world. For Archangel, through the violent changes brought into its uneventful life by the revolutionizing hand of war, has become one of the most metropolitan of cities. Five years ago its less than 40,000 inhabitants -led a quiet, uneventful life, with their ac- tivities dependent largely upon •the elements; for the chief business, ex- portation and importation for Russia, was suspnded over half of each year by the. ice which &legged up this yv u real et ar,s now.

Demoralized transportation, not lack of food is responsible for the famine conditions in Russian citise and towns, according to Leslie Urqu- hart, a capitalist, with large metal- lurgical and mining interests in Si- beria, says a London despatch. Mr. Urquhart, who recently returned from Russia, --has been appointed by the British Government to assist in the revival of Siberia's economic life: Considering the depreciation of the ruble he told a representative of the Associated Press, food prices in Si- beria are virtually normal. In western Siberia, he said, there is so much food on hand that a considerable surplus could be sent into other parts of itus- sia, and the same applies, he under- stood, to southeastern Russia and to the Ukraine. "Broadly speaking," he declared, "it can be said that in the country, as a whole, there is no shortage of food, and although the large 'towns of north and central Russia ere starting there villages. The isPlenty food in the vi ler of o y difficitity of transport, due to the rl]s- organization of the railways. the in- dustrial strikes and risinrrs which brought about the flooding of tate Don- etz coal mines and the decrense in the supply of fuel to less than 25 nor cent. of normal production, civil war in the country and economic chaos generally aro all reasons for the State border- ing, or. famine in the towns. "Ekibastous, the greatest wheat - producing province in Siberia, with large stocks of wheat lying' less than 100 miles away, is living frim hand to mouth as it is virtually imrossible to transport the wheat for lack of scram iron with which to make tires for wagon wheels.

Ps, sentials of everything indeed that the. peasant wears and uses—and the pea - ant represents 35 per cent. of the population of the country—to twenty and even fifty- tunes their normal value. The town worker, or 15 per cent. of the population, however, would not permit the Soviet government to raise the maximum prices fired for food. This one-sided legislation not unnaturally incensed the .reasant. While he had to pay twenty and fifty times the normal price for ell essen- tial commodities produced by the in- dustrial workers in the towns, he re- ceivedly the normal t double only egos pre-war price for the produce of his own labor. "Therefore, the peasant sits tight on his grain. He refuses to sell wheat to the Bolshevists at the rrci"isition price of 11/2 cents a pound v'hen he can sell it at ninety-six cents a pound 'or even more. When it can be got, bread to -day in Petrograd or Moscow is. sixteen rubles or more a roiled. The peasant is willing to barter his food for cloth, steel, textiles and other necessaries, but the industri'a1 work- ers have rained industry. Nothing is being produced—there is nothing to barter with. The peasants have large accumulations of panes 'money, but this is of no value for they can buy nothing with it.
