TURKESTAN REVOLT.
GRAVE FAMINE CONDITIONS.
SOVIET POWER WEAKENING.
A. and $.7,
DELHI, May 7.
Both the economic and political conditions in Russian Turkestan are very serious. Food supplies, including army rations, are very short, and there are terrible tales of suffering from the. famine areas. Further west the effects of the famine are so bad that it is considered that the power of the Bolsheviks to resist the counter revolution has been seriously weakened. News is lacking "of Enver Pasha's activities, but apparently several separate forces are operating against the Bolsheviks) Enver is co-ordinating the efforts. Frontier tribes are circulating a rumour that the Afghans have joined the anti-Bolshoviks, but the rumour is probably ill-founded.
