Value of goods (in rubles) 44,000 240,000 345,000 721,000 861,000 714,000 918,000 1,249,000 1.446.000 Receipts 17,000 15,000 224.000 847,000 461,000 789,000 666,000 646,000 894.000 J& #yq The business of the retail stores continued until the end of 1916 and by December, 1916, the monthly turnover of the stores of the western front reached 8,000,000 rubles. The general disorganiza- tion of transport and supply, however, which was experienced by the end of 1916 affected unfavorably the zemstvo retail stores in the army and in January, 1917, the monthly turnover of the stores of the western front dwindled to 1,200,000 rubles. After the Revolu- tion of February-March, 1917, their position did not improve. The last reports available are those of J uly, 1917. They show that during the first half of that year merchandise to the value of 9,887,601 rubles was supplied to the retail stores on the three fronts (western, southwestern, and northern).®* The number of stores was then considerably more than two hundred. The story of the retail stores on the northern and southwestern fronts is of no particular interest. On the northern front they num- bered 51 in November, 1916, as against 117 on the western front. On the southwestern front the number of zemstvo retail stores on November 1, 1916, was only 48. Depots and Transport of Goods. The consolidation of the zemstvo organizations at the front usu- ally began with the activities of the depots. In December, 1914, a vast depot was opened in Warsaw and this was soon followed by *! Attempts to organize retail stores on the Caucasian front were not suc- cessful, because of the vast distances over which the troops were distributed, and because of the enormous difficulty of securing delivery of goods over mountain tracks.
