Russian City Cave Dwellers

It appears from the municipal census that nearly one-fifth of Moscow's population lives under ground, says a special cable from that city to the Chicago News. Many families live in one room. Two and often three persons sleep in a single bed in these cavelike cellars. These troglodyte inhabitants include 25,000 workingmen, 24,000 clerks, 55,000 children and aged persons and 25,000 without any means of existence. The Russians, who are proud of Moscow's reputation as the most prosperous industrial city of the empire, are shocked by these revelations.
