They gamble every night in the hells
of Pera. throwing down sheaves of ru-
bles in notes of thousand, two and
five thousand, which they feverishly
change at the rate of six cents per ru-

cents.
American ways and energy have
even penetrated into the Turkish
homes. Many Turkish women now go
about with uncovered faces because
the American women do it," and few
are taking an active part in politics,
holding meetings at the famous Hip
podrome to agitate for woman suf-
frage, quoting the woman leaders of
the suffrage movement In faraway
America which they have never seen
and whose language they do not know.

that the Kolchak forces withdrew the
bolshevists had entered the city.
"The first thing the bolshevists did
was to loot the town, and then they
organized their government. At the
head they placed the most cruel and
outspoken of their leaders. They then
appointed committees, one of them the
so-called extraordinary committee on
investigation.
The judges, the aldermen, the coun-
cilmen and other leading citizens

to escape-were promptly arrested.
and all of those who were known to
be against bolshevism or were sus-
pected were taken that night into the
public square and executed. They
were denied trial of any sort.

The bolsheviks lined up all the boys,

them as to their sympathies. All who
were not killed were put to work Of
the most menial kind.

GOVT STUDIES THE PROBLEM
Bureau of Farm Management and DI-
vision Of Land Economics Have
Charge Of Work-Appropria
tion Not Sufficient.

Washington. - A preliminary study
OF cutover timber land in the south,
with view Of determining their best
utilization. is being planned by DIR.
H. C. Taylor, chief of the new bureau
of farm management of the agricul-
tural department, and DR.. L.. c. Gray,
head of the new division of Land eco
nomics in that bureau. Cooperation
in this work is expected from state
authorities, especially those connect
ed with state agricultural colleges and
experiment stations, and also from the
various organizations interested in
the development of the south.
The work this year will be limited
by the appropriations made by con-
gress for the bureau Of farm manage
ment, which are not as large as re-
quested by Secretary Houston.
In considering the problem OF utiIiz-
ing southern cutover lands to the best
advantage it is planned first to mo.
bilize data already in the possession
Of various branches OF the govern
ment that bear upon the subject II
funds admit this will be followed up
next year with a more extended In
vestigation in a number of localities
in the southern states. These inves-
LEGATIONS should include an intensive
study Of certain questions related to
the colonization and development OF
cutover lands. IS 81. < Z.
There is = good deal or general IN
formation available about southern
cutover lands and their possibilities.
Scientists and economists apparently
agree that they are suitable chiefly
for three purposes-namely live stock
raising, farming and reforestration, 'ac-
cording to the character and location
of the land.
The studies referred to above should
result In assembling mass of de-
tailed data that will be of great use
in bringing about agricultural devel-
opment in the southern states, par
ticularly the coastal plain area, ex-
tending from Virginia to Texas, in
which is situated the bulk OF the pine
stump lands.
