WARSAW EXODUS
 WITHOUT PANIC
Residents Fled tO Moscow in
 Orderly Manner.
MAJORITY WISHED TO STAY

Russian Government Gave Free Rail-
 road Transportation to All Who
 Wanted to Leave, but Only 15 Per
 Cent Took Advantage of the Offer.
 Retirement Carefully Planned.
 Hundreds of refugees from Warsaw are arriving at Moscow daily. Most of them are without money or means of sustenance and are seeking aid at the American consulate, where an en- larged staff is attempting to supply temporary assistance pending the or ganization of Russian relief commits sion.
 The refugees state that, although the population of the Polish capital was convinced that the Germans ultimately would occupy the city, majority of the citizens elected to remain, only ap- proximately 15 per cent having depart ed. This accounts for the comparative order and the absence of panic which accompanied the exodus.
 W ucll ICl llOu ScclllcO imminent the government issued an order that third class tickets to any point in the interior of Russia should be given free to all citizens desiring to depart The only condition attached by the authorities was that residents so leaving would not be allowed to re- turn without q special permit
 Residents Feared Famine.
 Those choosing the alternative of de- parture foresaw that Warsaw would be visited with conditions similar to those imposed on LOdz and that the town would be cut off from the interior of Russia. whence all provisions were obtainable, and that Warsaw would suffer from famine.
 The refugees compare the orderly and systematic abandonment of the city with the panic caused by the first Ger man approach last October, when an attempt of the city officials, institutions and private citizens to all bolt at once resulted in indescribable confusion.
 The retirement this time was so care fully planned and so systematically ex- ecuted that went off like clockwork, and an onlooker received the impress sion that a no more extraordinary phe- nomenon was occurring than the ordi- nary summer exodus. Sufficient extra trains had been provided so that tray cling conditions on the whole differed little from normal
 Provision Tickets Unnecessary.
 An unusual feature of the present abandonment of the city was the fact that provision tickets were made un- necessary.
 The bulk of the refugees travelled on foot or with wagons along the high ways Most of the refugees were un- able to proceed southward and to Kiev,

 Preliminary plans designed to make available the resources Of the federal reserve system in the annual fall movement of crops have been worked ort hv the federal reserve board. Writing to the twelve regional banks. tbo hoard pointed out how members of the system may help to finance the crop movement
 The boards action was taken. the letter says. to forestall any possibility of congestion of crops this fall or lack of financial accommodation to move them and to avoid n recurrence of the stringency which in the past has mark cd this movement
 Although the board applies its plan to wheat corn and all other cereals. it deyotes most attention to the cotton crop, which, it says. is peculiarly sen sitive to abnormal conditions such as now exist in the export trade. The letter says:
 Hetpinq the Farmers.
 "There should he no difficulty in af. fording the producers the assistance necessary to enable them to market their products in volume corresponding 10 the power of the trade to absorb them
 In order to accomplish this end it is suggested that federal reserve banks adopt definite policy with reference to rediScounting paper secured by doe uments in satisfactory form evidencing the ownership of stored agricultural products. Through such policy. to- gether with proper methods of ware housing federal reserve banks can be potent factor in assisting the normal movement of staple agricultural prod ucts from the field to the factory or to the consumer"
 The board calls special attention to the marketing of the cotton crop be- cause 1t is clearly to the common in tereSt that credits based upon this crop Oe protected as far as possible from the danger of demoralization" It spoWS that no staple commodity is sub. lect to greater variations in prices than cotton which offers an inviting field for the specu'ltor

When Coal Fires Were Barred,

When Coal Fires Wore Barred.
Fires were at one time a great lux
ury in England. and even the right to
use the fire had been bequeathed.
Thus the will Of one Richard Byrchett
(1516) read:
IL will vt sayd Nell my wye shall
have ye chamber she iyes In and lyb-
erte at ye flyer in the house; all yese
thyngs shall she have SO long as she ys
widO."
Coal was first imported into London
at the end of the thirteenth century,
but the smoke produced by burning
it in improperly constructed CRATES
caused such a prejudice against it that
In 1906 a law was passed making it a
capital offense to burn coal in the city.
