PROTEST AGAINST
RAISE IN FARE

n--(Correspondence OF A. Pr
The question of the increase in the tran
way fares and also those of the mold
omnibuses has caused widespread Dig
content here lately. In some instance
the fares in London and the Suburb
districts have been raised more than c9
hundred per cent over those charged
pre-war days.
The result has been that public oplno
has been worked up to such an exteF
that nearly every day London memoer
of parliament are asking questions
the subje Il in the house of commons ar
Populations are frequently seeking intef
views with the London County couna
and the amnibus companies concerne1
The first step toward the increase VIZ
the abol lion of the half penny fare az
latterly the reduction of the distano
which could be traversed for the pena
fare.
The companies declare that the Y
crease is necessary to meet the eAI'
expenses which have occurred by ~
workmen's demands for shorter hour
and more pay. The public alleges M
the additional cost of running IL mao
up by the extra fares taken since hosL
tiles ended.

COSSACK SELLS
HERDS TO MAKE
TRIP TO PARIS

Paris, July ia cossack herdsman
from the eastern corner of the Black
Sea, in high astrakhan cap and faded
long coat, recently wandered into
American Red Cross headquarters in
Paris. He had sold everything he
owned in order to meet the expense of
journey across Europe to tell the
Red Cross that the Cossacks of Ku-
ban were dying of typhus.
He told his story to the commits
sioner, who ordered an Immediately
investigation. Major Edwin c. Dexter,
of Urbana, Ill, formerly head of the
Montenegrin unit. of the American
Red Cross, was sent to Kuban to re-
port on conditions. He found there
were 100. cases of typhus on the
slopes Of the Caucasus and that
throughout the Kuban district there
was a lack of all drugs and medical
supplies. Not only were the people
dying of disease, but. the wounded
soldiers of the army engaged in from
tier fighting, were without dressings
or anaesthetics for even major opera
tions. Not in the whole of Kuban
was there a single ounce Of ether or
chloroform.
AS a result of these reports. the
American Red Cross has outfitted a
ship to proceed to Kuban with COM
plete equipment for five hundred
bed hospital, 800 tons of drugs and
1,500 tons OF clothing. Ten Red Cross
officers and fifteen American relief
administration workers make up the
unit, which will establish hospital
and distribute the supplies, with the
fun authority OF the de facto govern
ment of the Kuban republic.

day will be shipped as far as Waits

greater number will be consigned to

The consignment unloaded today
belonged to five wholesale houses and

coo sacks is due here in few days,
according to Clarence Penland.

better but fuel is moving into the city
rapidly now. according to Ben Bur-

the Utah mines. Local dealers, he
said. do not find the demand so heavy
now as during the cold snap and are
