Washington, July 1S.-0f more
than 600 tractor owners on represen-
tative farms in Illinois who reported
in a recent survey conducted by the
United States Department Of Agrl-
culture, a report of which Is pub
lshed as Farmers Bulletin No. @S3,
81 per cent stated that their outfits
were not disabled single day when
needed during the entire season last
year. OF the remaining i6 per cent
he average number Of days their trac-
tors wer out Of commission when
needed was 3. This average, however,
did not include one man, who stated
hat his machine was not usable about

The reports Of tractor owners in

ficient operator gas tractor is a
very dependable source of power. Oc-
casional slight delays probably vii!

be exceptional, whereas with care

delays are apt 20 be frequent.
Of the tractors owned by Illinois

member of mis- family, the best re

class of operators. Thrty-six per
cent Of Illinois owners reported no

trouble with the outfit. This probably
means that the time lost was not

 American Among refugees.
 It is assumed here that the refugees : are American and allied citizens seek ing escape from Russia. Under date of August r the Swedish consul, general at Moscow reported that the German government had refused safe conducts for refugees, including con sular officers, and it was believed this re usal would stand until negotiations were concluded with England concern ing the treatment of Germans in China.
 A report dated August l said the Bolsheviki authorities had agreed to permit the censuls to depart and that the military missions of Great Britain and France were preparing to leave Moscow by way of Astrakhan andt' Persia, ser, i When these dispatches were sax efforts still were being made to ob- tain the releape of British and French ' citizens held as hostages by the Bol- sheyiki. Some were released several days ago, but nearly 100 were held The Swedish consul general said the negotiations would be greatly fa- cilitated if the allies would promise protection to soviets in northern Russia
 1 Long dispatches reaching the de-s partment today through the Swedish Foreign Office described the chaotic conditions existing in the Russian cities. Railway service betw cen Mos
