BOLSHEVIKS IN PERSIA
CORNERING FOODSTUFFS. TO FORCE MEN INTO ARMY. (By Canle—-Press A«socia-_on—Copj-rijrht.) I Received 111 n.m.i DELHI, August 15. It is reported from North Persia that the Bolsheviks seizen huge stocks of rice and exported the greater portion to Russia. Indirect assistance in the shape of munitions of war was received in return. The Bolsheviks are endeavouring to obtain control of all foodstuffs, witb a view to starving the population into joining the so-called Persian National army. They also imposed a fine of £100,000 on the town of Rcsht, in North Persia. Advices from Persia state that British troops successfully engaged Bolsheviks i.nd Jungali forces at Yuzbashieliai, on the Karvisi-Hesbt load.—(Renter.)
