RUINED PETROGRAD PARIAH CHILDREN OF THE STREETS,

[UY "THE TIMES KIGA CORRESPONDENT.].

A letter recently, received from Petro grad, describing the state of affairs in that city, says:

Many things have changed here, re cently. The Government' Ag allotted ten illion god "roubles to "put the town in order, ind some effort, not wholly urisuccessful, 1 being made to repair the rainage system and the water supply If a further thousnud million could be the ten minor, Petrograd added to might really be made coluparatively pre sentable again.

Nothing of the sensational is left for us. We have gone through fre and water, and nothing in beaven or un earth can astonish na my more.

The housing problem is becoming mere and more acute. rere, in spite of the depleted pagulation, we are leaking nearer to real eatastrophe. Ln the suburb there are hard y any habitable houses left. Their forur inmates are! concentrated in the centre of the town, which gives the illusion that the town is kut alive.

But this Blusion is wi rapidly fading away, for the miserable shops, which had a their wares in the windows, are being compelled to close by the overwhelming pressure of the "Soviet taxation.

Bret Harte to describe

Tt is beyond dispute that most of the haurgeul children are atterly-lost, The fate of the children who have no parata or relations is still more terrible. They wander about the town in their tens of housands. Crust though it may sound, I can only compare three to homeless dogs prowline through the streets of Stambal. They are constantly being kill ed by hunger and dishes, but their ranks are as rapidly reled. They are not, as some have suggested, children from the country who have run away from home: they are the children of town workinen, who have no time to look after their offspring.
