-- 'VL.__ I MANNING, S. C., WEDNESDAY. MARCH 12.1919. HUMAN fifSI SOLD IN CITY Of MOSCOW Chaotic Conditions Described in Re ports to Washington CITIES ARE WITHOUT FUEL Streets Are Deserted With the Excep tion of Civilians Begging for Bread. Washington, March 11.-Chaotic conditions in Russia, particularly in Petrograd and Moscow, were describ ed in reports received today by the State Department. The depths to which the country has been plunged by Bolshevik rule was said by the advices to be indicated in a report from Moscow saying that human flesh had been sold to the famine stricken population by Chinese sol diers, who later were arrested. Both Moscow and Petrograd were reported without fuel of any kind. The supplies of coal, kerosene and gasoline have been exhausted and since wood was natronalized in Sep tember it ha~s not been available for private consumption. Because of the lack of fuel, the ad vices said, the sewer and water sys tems of Petrograd might cease oper ation at any time. Beggers in Streets. The streets of Petrograd were de scribcd as deserted, with the excep tion of soldiers and civilians begging for bread. The deaths in the city chiefly from typhoid and smallpox were estimated at 4,000 daily. The Swiss. Danish, Swedish, Dutch and British embassies were said to have been looted. Conditions in Moscow were repre sented as better than in Petrograd although all industries in the former city, except a few military plants have ceased to operate. The only food available is ,brought to Moscow by peasants, who sell it at excessive prices, sugar bringing twenty rubles a- pound, which at the old value of the ruble would be ten dollars; dog meat seven and horse flesh twenty one rables a pound. Many of the stores in Moscow have been closed, and those remaining open are permitted to sell merchandise and foodstuffs only on the card system. Celebration of. mass in the churches has for the most part ceased. Trac tion and electric light service are ir regular, electricity being available for lighting purposes only two hours each day. --a COURT The Court of General Sessions con vened here on Monday with Judge W.

Washington, March 11.-Secretary Daniels today talked by radio tele- r phone with Ensign Harry Fagenwater in a navy flying boat en route from Washington to Hampton Roads. Com- t munication was established at a dis- I tance of more than 150 miles, by far the longest transmission of radio tele phone signals with an airplane in flight ever achieved. The Secretary used the ordinary desk telephone on his desk at the Navy Department. Officers in charge of the development of radio signaling, 1 including Rear Admiral Griffin, chief of the bureau of steam engineering, were grouped around the desk. Mr. Daniels spoke of his pleasure in making a test of the constantly im proving navy apparatus and asked the , ensign how far away his machine was. After a moment's delay the officer re plied he was then more than 150 miles from Washington and flying at a high altitude. The officer's voice came very indis tinctly toward the end of the conver sation as the distance increased. The experts at the department said the 150 miles was practically the extreme range of radio telephonic communica tion with an aircraft with present equipment, and more than (double any previous distance covered in a similar test. ---- 0 CHARGED WITH CRUELTY Couple in Charge of Orphan Home Indicted.

INV. -11 LES REFUSE TO SHAREFRENCH DEBT Mlies Opposed to Sharing Great War Burden MATTERS BEFORE COUNCIL story of Wide Hun Conspiracy Against Czecho-Slovakia Told by )r. Benes. Paris, March 11.-(By the Associ ted Press.)-France has abandoned or the present at least any hope of aving her great war debt. shared by he Allies. It is authoritatively as erted by one of the American at ending the conference that what had >wen an embarrassing possibility has iow been definitely eliminated from he deliberations, although it is pus ible that France might at some fu uire time attempt to obtain assist mee. The Protest has never been fully )resented at the conference, but con rersations held at intervals since the -onfereince began have served as a nedium. The British and American delega .ions have been quite frank in their Iisapproval and have openly said that he people of their countries would be low to endorse such a plan. Alleged Conspiracy. The council of the great powers eard today a statement presented by Jr. Bones of the Czecho-Slovak dele ration, on the widespread conspiracy alleged to exist against the new State )n three sides--Germany, Austro :ermany and I ungary. According to locuments found on a German cou 'ier arrested at Prague, an extensive )lot is being formented to excite a evolution and furnish arms and am nunition to those seeking to overturn he new government. The council today also considered .he serious internal conditions in Poland, which subject will be con .inued tomorrow, whets Poland's fron icr in Germany will probably be de ermined. The indications are that Poland will secure a sea outlet north vard to the Baltic, and the tendency s to include I)anzing in the Polish orridor across Prussia. Size of Hun Armv. The American members of the su preme council, it is understood, per mitted the military experts to exer :ise their judgment regarding the proper size and character of the fu ure German army. In order to have t basis of discussion, the Americans, it is reported, suggested an army of our hundred thousand men, but only because that was the number men ;ioned in the first armistice proposal. The discussion of the council to lim t Germany to a volunteer twelve-year. army is regarded by Americans as ikely to lead to consideration by the league of nations when it takes up ,he subject of the limitation of arma ments of the policy a general prohibi Lion of conscript armies in all nations. This is on the theory that the great expense of regular long-term armies will be such as to automatically keep lown militarism. Labor Situation. The peace conference committee on international labor legislation today heard statements by various delega Lions on the result of their consulta ions with their governments and with :'mployers and organizations of work ing people in their respective conn tries. The commission then took up the final readinI of the draft of the it ernational labor convention sub enitted by the British delegation anuel Gompers. the ehairman of the omnussion, presided at the meeting. ----- RED CROSS NOT[S AllI me.mnbers of C'larendon C'ounty hapte'r A.
