Russian Girls We'd Soldiers.

Three hundred or more Russian
war brides" who have gone TO Manila
from Siberia with their American
soldier husbands are TO be sent to the
United States BY the government as
soon as transportation is available.
These girls come from every station
IN life from the peasant girl to the col
lege graduate and a number had been
accustomed 10 the luxuries OF life
before the war and revolution drove
them from their homes.
Their experiences in Manila. proha
ply, have been disappointment TO
most of them, as their soldier hus-
bands on their meager pay of $50
month have been unable to support
family, house rent and food prices hav-
ing almost doubled within the last year.
To prevent these Russian girls from
actual suffering, the Red Cross and
other charitable organizations have
provided them with shelter and food.
They are willing to work. but hav-
ing no knowledge of English or Span
iSh, they are unable to find employ
ment in many of the stores of Manila
and native men and boys are preferred
for house servants.
After several weeks of investiga-
ton as to the best disposition to make
OF the war brides and their soldier hus-
bands the army authorities decided tina,
they, with few exceptions, should be
sent to the United States and there dis.
tributed among the army camps and
posts. where quarters are available for
married enlisted men. These the de-
partment of the Philippines is not able
to provide. Only those enlisted men
with wives who have an income in ad-
dltlon to their army pay will be per
mitted to remain in the Philippines.
Some of the Russian girls who were
disappointed in not obtaining soldier
husbands at NladivoStok disguised
as American soldiers slowed away on
transports and went to Manila. so Gag
er were they TO escape from the turmoil
and suffering which have prevailed in
Siberia almost since the beginning of
the war.
these Stowaways were turned owe
to the authorities to be deported to the
country whence they came. Sever
of them were married at the pier Will
waiting to be put on board a transpor,
for the voyage back to Vladivostok
which made them American citizens
and gave them the right to remain.
One of these stowaways, clad If
male attire, when about TO be placed or
board transport for deportation, with
several thousand Russian rubles in her
hands, appealed to the crowd at the
pier for some man to marry her and
save her life from what she said woulC
be certain death if she were returned to
Siberia. The Russian money which is
of little or no value, appeared to hav,
no influence toward bringing forth
husband fer the woman, and she wa
sent back to Siberia.

candles and the electric lights in every
part of the ancient cathedral were

lights out and sent her homo TO assume
other garments. The marriage cere-
nony was then performed.

Pay Taxes to De Facto Regime.
Washington, April 3O.-American
doing business in the State of Sonora
and other parts of Mexico controlled
by the revolutionists have been au-
thorlled to pay taxes and customs du-
ties to the de facto authorities.
This authorization, it was explained
today at the State Department, is in
today 1T the State Department, is in
accordance with recognized princi-
pie Of international law and does not
amunt to recognition Of q dcfacto
government. The principle has been
observed on several occasions in Mex
lco, notably when the Car~anZa rcv
olution started and his forces OBJ
tanned control Of ports. Inability of
the recognized government Of Mexico
to collect duties and taxes in terri
tory held by the rcvolutionists, it was
SAID, can not be permitted to inter
ferc with regular commercial trans,
actions.
War May Hit Vera Cruz.
The State Department received an
exhaustive report today on conditions
in Vera Cruz from an American in
that city. The report urged that war
ships be kept in readiness for dis
patch to Vera Cruz should the need
arise. Although Vera Cruz was said
to be quiet, possibilities Of trouble
there were described as great.
Official advices today from various
parts Of Mexico indicate a steady
growth of the revolutionary move
ment and rapid coordination with the
Sonora revolt of many of the rebel
bands which have been operating in
depcndently. The possibility of Gen.
Obregon taking the field in person
for an attack on Mexico City was
forecast in these reports which said
that the rebels of Michoacan, Gucrro-
10 and Morclos had declared them
selves unit Of the Sonora army.

acres planted in cotton this year, a

; average increase in condition of 2
10 of one per cent. has occurred.
Should we have this average advance
in the July report, we would have
indicated a condition Of 63R or
seven points lower than the lowest
condition which has even been issued
in July.
Private reports from cur custom,
ers and also the observation on a re-
cent Southern trip of one of the
members of this firm, leac us to con-
clude that there will be no material
advance in condition during the COM
ing month. i
The weekly weather report which
covers the week since the making up
of the Government Condition figures,
was unfavorable and the old saying
"the roses bloom in June" and that
June is usually a bearish month may
mot prove true this year.
There is unquestionably a large
amount of low grade cotton available
in this country, but the mills, who in
years passed have been Tow grade
consumers are now using only high
grade cotton. For the reason that
their yarn out-turn is greater and
second because labor prefers to
work on high grade cotton rather
than on low grades, because of mill
reasons, with which many of our
friends are fully conversant.
Outside conditions continue un.
favorable and although Exchange has
rallied, a further sharp advance is
believed by many to be improbable.
We continue to view the cotton
situation as outlined in our letters of
the past few weeks that IS; purchases
on sharp declines should prove pro-
fitable, but would not advise pur-
chases on advances.
Cotton Seed Oil. /
Weakness in Oriental oils, lack of
export demand for tallows and
grease and poor domestic demand,
leads us to believe that a further
reaction will occur in cotton seed oil.
However, we are bullish for ultimate
results.
Grain.
Predictions of an easing freigh ,
situation under orders of the Inter-
state Commerce Commission will re-
lease interior grain which is now con-
gested at local points. The effect of
these shipments to primary markets
will undoubtedly be bearish, and we
continue to favor sales of corn on
such rallies as have recently occurred
