NEUTRAL,
IS WAR SUFFERER
TONS AS BAD AS IF SHE
WERE FIGHTING.

Teheran Persia, May 2S.-War is
although the country is neutral. Bust
ness and financial conditions could be
hostilities. Trade has ben at a stand
still since the beginning of the war.
The exchange rate is so unfavorable
that the silver kran, formerly worth
about ten cents, now brings only
about 61a to cents. The government
is at its wits end in an effort to find
money to pay salaries to government
officials. Thers is an Unprecedented
scarcity of silver coins, and many
well-todo citizens have buried all their
savings, fearing the uncertain times
of war
Trade with foreign countries stopped
at the outbreak Of war. Caravan
routes are made dangerous and risky
by the activity of tribesmen and ban
dts. The usual large shipments of
tobacco and opium have accordingly
been stopped, with very serious re-
suits to the considerable sections of
the community dependent on this
trade for their livelihood.
Financially Persia is dependent upon
Russia and England, the two banks,
one English and the other Russian,
are facing very serious difficulties.
The Russian government originally
prohibited exports of petroleum and
all sorts of food supplies into Persia,
fearing that these commodities might
indirectly reach Turkey This Caused
a sweeping rise in the price of petro-
leum, sugar, and other things. The
prohibition was abolished some time
later, and prices went down again, but
not to their previous level.
The industrial centers where woven
fabrics, rugs, silver and leather ware,
sword blades, earthenware and articles
of luxury are manufacturers, are all
in a state of prostration. The AR
menian dealers and agents have re-
ceived notices from all their clients
in England and America that no fur
Their imports are to be expected for
long time.
The alliance between Russia and
England has caused much speculation
and alarm in Persia. With only a
limited acquaintance with the geogra-
ply and current history of western
Europe, most Persians jumped to the
conclusion that the alliance must
hape some foundation in Persian af-
fairs. They soon found an explana-
ton which is still generally accept
ed. The two great nations, this ex-
PLANTATION AYERS, decided to put an end
to their squabbles over Persia by
forming an alliance and dividing Per-
STA between them in accordance with
the spheres of influence" established
by the Convention of 1907.
Accordingly the Persian sympathies
naturally went in most cases to Ger
many The addition of Turkey to the
list of combatants created a tremen-
dous impression, more especially upon
the clergy. The German legation at
Teheran fostered this feeling of friend

Tuesday night Point Sur was envel-

All day yesterday the submarine

efforts of the tender Cheyenne to pull
it out. Late in the afternoon, how
ever, the sea began to rise and a
sudden swell lifted the H-3 at the
same instant that the Cheyenne's
lines frightened.
The sudden jerk pulled the H-3
clear but threw it against another
rock, turning it on its side. From
the almost perpendicular decks five
of the crew slid into the water. Two

them and in few minutes all were
back on board.
When the H-3 arrived here today,

done to Serbia to her hull.
