RUBLES MAKE THIS
RUSSIAN RlTH MAN
lBy Newsnancr Enlcrnrl.

(By Newspaper Enterprise Assn !
Stockholm, Aug. 24.-While Russia
fights it's revolts and Russian money
values are a precarious quantity. one
Russian who lived in Japan is making
IA fortune out of the ebb and flow In
the value of the Russian ruble. the
standard coin.
He has built up a ruble buying and
selling organization that is said to
brlng him an income of million
rubles a month, a sum equal in normal
times to 100000. Here's how this
remarkable financial genius works.
The value of the ruble differs In
various cities. For instance, 1t NAV
be high at Harbin when it is cheap AZ
VladlYostok or Shanghai, and vice
versa. The essential fact is that it is
never the same in any Chinese, Japan
ese or Russian city.
BY means of his organization this
shreWd Russian continually buys in a
cheap market and sells in O dear one
His system is so simple that ii is a
wonder II is confined to him. Ii re
.quires an immense initial capita,
however, and d perfect knowledge Of
exchange rates.

English grammar while at work.
When still in his teens. a press biog-
rapher relates, he bought second
hand dictionary and spent several
months copying it from beginning to
end In this way he acquired the Vo-
cabulary which he used with remark
able precision in his public speeches.
The books he studied We're the works
of economists. philosophers, poets
and dramatists. Carlyle, MIL
Shakespeare and the Bible were his
chief delight
He became known as d "boy ora

"Clynes and an Irishman used to go
together to the seclusion of a spacious
quarry. rude and wind haunted, and
there practise upon each other the art
of public speaking"
Organized Workers Union.
At twenty-five Clynes was the or
gan!zer for the Lancashire district OF

ers and chairman of the National Fed
GRAFTON of Laborers' unions, which
represents 100000 workers. He has
represented British labor interests in
Canada, France, Germany, Holland

said to have been injured tonight by
the bursting of a steam pipe on an
American transport lying at a dock

Seven of them We're so badly scalded

the accident, and no report was mace

The transport, which is said to have
been one of the largest and most pop.
ular of the German liners before II

has been in the harbor for some time,
undergoing repairs.
1t was later reported that four men

French Raids In Lorraine.
Trench raids by the French in the

tack against the Germans there, but
there is nothing yet to substantiate
this suggestion.
Light sea forces have had a rather
slight encounter off Dunkirk, France.
Both the British and German official
reports state that losses were i'm

as 10000 were at one time current,

number at one-fifth Of that figure.

Without pause the British forces
battling against the Germans are NOV
ing forward in the direction of Ba-
paume. The fighting has been eX-
tremely heavy, but there has been
no stopping Field Marshal Haig's
men, and the latest reports from
British headquarters says that they
are making progress along the entire
front Of the British attack.
The important towns of Bray,
Thiepval and Grandcourti together
with several smaller places have been
captured and more than 2,00O pris-
oners have been taken.
Around Miraumont, which lies a
little north of Grandcourt, the fight
ing has been of great intensity, and
this place apparently has fallen, as
Haig's report says that "the enemy
held out until outflanked by advane-
ing columns"
British detachments have reached
Avesnes- Lez- Bapaume, which lies
very close to i3apaume, whose capture
is expected at an early date, but not
without severe fighting,
American troops holding the ground
around Fismes have moved up to the
Soissons- Rheims road along front
of about half mile, while the French
though not extensively engaged, have
made some progress south of Checy-
Au- Mont
