Considering the size Of Switzerland
one might expect a mile to be about
as far as one could throw a ball, but
the hardy mountaineers think 9,153
yards the proper thing. even when, as
it generally is, 1t is very much up hill.
The Swiss is the longest mile Of all,
being followed by the Vienna post

The Flemish mile is $3.50 yards, the
Prussian 1921 yards, and In Denmark
they walk 1924 yards and call it a
stroll of a mile. The Arabs generally
ride good horses and call 2,143 yards
a mile. while the Turks are satisfied
with 1926 yards, and the Italians
shorten the distance Of a mile to 1.766
yards, just six yards more than the
American has in mind when the agent

Persia, which the Russians bombarded

only served to make the population
indignant, as it saw its rights violated.
The nationalists, at sight of foreign

try, became exasperated. Fighting
was imminent between them and the
Russian Cossacks. December % the
Russians began a heavy bombardment.
Shells fell everywhere in the city. The
population became maddened. The
flag from the American consulate was
struck off by a shell.
ION the 23d the nationalists seized
the Russian barracks, which are in the
Armenian quarter. More than twenty
Cossacks were killed or wounded.
Atrocities began. The Russians entered
houses, burning, sacking, killing and
pillaging. They struck down the chill

and mothers and carried off the young
girls when they could. Others came
on to the Adgi bridge over the River
Amere and again began a lombard
