Refugees Overwhelm Siberian City Omsk Amid Epidemics
A NLR dispatch from Siberia describes Omsk’s collapse under 450000 people seeking refuge from Russia after the revolution.

Yena Kramkoff, daughter of a Bolshevik killed, pleads for allied intervention, praising Russian women and lamenting internal collapse.
