Grounded Schooner Floated by Crew

After having lain ashore on the mud
flats on the Virginia side Of the river
near Fort Foote for over forty-eight
hours the little schooner Ira Crockett
was yesterday foated by the men
aboard her and came to this city with
cord wood for dealers. The vessel
stranded on a fairly good tide, but be-
fore she could be foated the wind
shifted to northwest and caused low
water. The vessel had to lie on the
bank until there was another shift in
the wind. and this brought back tide
high enough to allow her to be worked
into deep water. Where the Crockett
stranded the bottom is soft and the
vessel was not injured. This is the first
visit of the schooner to this city in
several months,

To fight the typhus fever and cholera
plague that has already claimed 10000
victims in Serbia which official reports
show has exceeded the war menace. and
which threatens to spread to all parts of
Europe, the American Red Cross has
started a sanitary commission for Serbia
to take charge Of the desperate situation.
Surgeon General William c. Gorgas,
who won fame by cleaning up the pesti-
lenr:al Panama Canal Zone, says that this
commission to Serbia is the most i'm
portant sanitary work undertaken in
many years.
This commission is acting under the
direction Of the American Red Cross. at
the befest Of Serbia, and under the
patronage Of the Rockefeller sanitation
foundation For the financial support Of
the expedition the American Red Cross
has made an initial appropriation of
$4,000, and the Rockefeller foundation
has contributed like amount. So stu
pendous is the work that enormous sums
will be required for its continued support.
Welcomed by Serbian Government.
A cablegram has been received from
the Serbian government saying that it
will welcome most heartily this commits
sion, and is deeply appreciative Of it's
mission.

The advertised War of Rebel lion" was explained last evening at the Mission" as the condition result ing from the rebellion of man against the law of God as intimated by the conscience. This rebellion was brand ed as an act of folly, ingratitude and contempt of God on whom man ut terly depends for his happiness. The inward wickedness of this rebellion was brought home to sinners by the consideration of the wickedness in herent in the rebellion of son who disowns the good father to whom he owes his existence. The evil of sin was further brought out by viewing the monuments erected by sin in the fall of the angels, and in the rebel lion of our first parents, which brot on humanity such an awful curse that to lift it, the great God Himself had to assume human nature and in that nature expiate sin by making Himself a suffering murdered vic tim.
 In the light of the cruelty of sin which crucified the Goldman the speaker went on to urge his hearers to an aversion from sin to conver- sion to God by a penitent surrender to His suffering love. The subject to be treated this evening at 7:3O will be "The Sting of Defeat"

CURIOUS FINANCE
 STATE IN RUSSIA
War Puts Gold at Discount Because It Cannot Be Exported-Takes Long Time to Close Busi-
 ness Deals.

LONDON, Oct. 4.-Writing in the London Standard, John Foster Fra.
 ser gives an interesting account o1
 curious money conditions in Russia
 and also describes the American
 business representatives in Petro-
 grad. He says:
 "I see there is stern appeal that
 Englishmen should hand all their
 gold over to the banks and receive paper money in return. All the time I was in Russia I never saw a piece
 of gold; there is nothing but paper.
 The exchange has slumped in Russia as it never did before. In normal tires you got to about 98 rubles for 10 tmisey uog to about 9S rubles for 10 pounds. It has been up to 16O and a wayfarer like myself was able to |get 147.5O on it:ter cred;t-or 30 pounds in Russian currency for my twenty pounds of gold which was sup posed to be lying in a bank at home.
 "It is strange that the war puts gold at an actual discount. I want ed to change some English sovereigns for Russian paper money at Petro- grad bank, but I was offered an ex- change of 112, whereas on my check could get 147.50. A check is nego- tiable; it will buy goods in London at its face value. whereas gold is not negotiable, because it's exportation is prohibited.
 "At the Finnish Swedish frontier most travellers arc searched and if there is hidden gold it is taken from them. If it is surrendered there is returned to them 112 in Russian notes. You have no use for them because you are going to Sweden, and if you nurse the paper till you get to London and reconvert it into En- glish currency you are lucky if you get seven pounds for your original ten pounds.
 "Where the intervening three pounds goes you do not know, but you have to be satisfied; it has dis in the mystery of interna- tional currency.
 "You have only to saunter into the restaurant of the Astoria Hotel in Petrograd to imagine that boat load of American tourists had sud- denly landed. The language of the United States strikes the ear like the hum of bees that are swarming.
 "But they are ot tourists. They are American business men, who, knowing that Russia needs things motor cars, aeroplanes, what you will she cannot supply sufficiently to herself, which she cannot get from Germany, and which she has diff culty in securing from her allies, France and England, who are in need themselves. are willing to make con- tracts with the Russian government.
 Things do not hustle in Petro- grad, and it takes a mighty deal of time to get contract through"
