in pursuance of private interests.
The food shortage in the various countries against which the Italian
blockade is directed is reported t«* be creating chaos and may provoke a reign

HINDENBERG DECLARES GERMANY THREAT
ENED WITH BOLSHEVIKI INVASION
Special to The Nome Nugget by The Associated Press.
BERLIN, March 6—General von Hitulonberg declared in a press in
terview today that the prospect of an invasion of Eastern Germany by tlie
Russian Bolshevists is daily growing more threatening and can be prevented
only through speedy military defense by the inhabitants of the eastern prov
inces.
Hindenberg painted the situation on the eastern frontier in the black
est colors, asserting that the enroachments of the Russian radicals are daily
becoming more bold under the urging of the German Sparticans, whom he
denounced as merely Bolshevists under another name. The disintergation of
the German military forces lias loft the nation practically without protection
against the Russians, he says, and an attempt of the Bolshevik! to force their
way into German territory will meet little or no opposition aside from that
provided by the residents of the invaded districts themselves. Hindenberg
declared that unless the population of Eastern Germany rallies to defend
their homes and families, it will soon be impossible to ward off the attacks of
the Bolshevik! hordes, who are daily displaying an increasing inclination to
ravage German territory adjacent to the frontier. r
