Russian Peasants Demand Land

The peasants of Russia are demanding land, which is owned in vast estates. A press despatch says that eight hundred land owners in the vicinity of Saratoff have appealed to the government to take measures to satisfy the land hunger of the peasants, in the hope of ending the agrarian uprising. The aid of troops is demanded to prevent the sacking of the remainder of the estates in the Volga region.
