Description
There was little or no disorder. As though by some deep instinct, these throngs of people kept the peace. The militia police of the Revolution were a meagre looking force, and one might have expected all kinds of crimes with violence. It was not so. There were immense stores of vodka here, but I saw no drunkenness and you could not buy a drink. The price of fire wood was high and mounting higher every week, but I saw huge piles of paving blocks left all night on lonely streets with no watchman guarding them, and there were no pilferers about. There was disorganization in the whole system of supplies. To buy bread or tea or sugar or shoes.
