The Greater Loss.

Through the pelting thunder
shower two tiny figures struggled
on.
The small girl held one arm
firmly and protectingly round the
shoulders of a still smaller boy and
tried to shield him from the fury of
the storm with an umbrella.
In his hands the small boy car
ried carefully a small blue-covered
parcel.
Then, from an upper window half
way down the street, appeared the
head of a woman. Waving her hand
frantically. she shrieked:
"Never mind II 'Erbet do get wet,
Amelier old that umbreller over

Wealth had carried Mrs. Nurich

INTIMATE LETTERS FROM PETRo-

York: Il. p. Dutton q Co.
TT is doubtful II a more accurate
portrayal OF tho atmosphere
prevailing in the Russian cap
ital during the early months of the
revolution. could be given than In
that made in the series OF letters
which make UP this book. Mrs.
Crosley Is the wife of a former mill
tary attache TO the American en-
bassy at Petrograd. and as such
found ample opportunity for the
observations of the chaotic, turpn-
lent conditions existing there In the
months Immediately following the
overthrow OF Gar Nicholas and his
dynasty.
That her position. or that CT the
other Americans attached to the
embassy, was not at all times
safe and enviable one, is witnessed
by her vivid descriptions OF the
street riotings in which machine
guns were frequently brought into
play, several OF which were staged
before her very doors. Yet her let
ters show that she at all times fear
lessly stood by her post. Toward
the latter part Of the year IT be-
came apparent that even an Amert-
can was not safe from Bolshevtk
molestation, her husband and party.
Drawing unusual hardships and
perils, managed to pass the opposing
lines Of "Reds" and "Whites" to
Safety in Sweden.
In an afterword, Mrs. Crosfey
gives her opinions of the causes
leading to the Russian collapse and
withdrawal from the war, principal
among the reasons for which she
assigns to German propaganda, cor
ruption OF Government officials and
the lack of an ally organization to
combat the German efforts in this
benighted country.

MAY Bring IN OIL
we'll next week
Georgia Company Preparing To Set
Casing and Are Confident Of
Good Producer.

Oil excitement in Pascag0ula con-
tinues at fever heat and the public
generally seems convinced that this
vicinity is on the verge of great oil
strike. Officials of the Georgia Com
pany, whose well in 4-7-6 has been
the sole topic of conversation for the
past two weeks, decline to give out a
statement for publication. but the
mystery surrounding their operations,
the spirit of suppressed excitement no
ticeable among its officials, the coming
and going of those connected with the
company, coupled with the fact that
they have no stock for sale and are
engaged in no kind of promotion, Is
very significant.
The Chroicle learns from sources
cosidered trustworthy that preparaH
tions are now being made to set eight
inch casing and at depth several
hundred feet shallower than originally
contemplted. The wires have been
kept hot for the past two days in an
effort to rush an elevator to handle
this casing. 1t is also stated as fact !.
positive that the well will be bailed-in
just as soon as the casing is set, thus
altering the company's original plans
to 60 to greater depth in search for
the big pool which is believed to un-
derlie their location. The depth at
which the present oil bearing strata
has been encountered is known to
no one but the driller and high officials
Of the company, but 1t is believed from
best information obtainable to be con-
less than 1000 feet.
Drilling at the Seacoast well on Pas
cagoula river was resumed Thursday
ten-inch casing having been
allowed several days in which to set.
The drill was down to 1869 feet Thurs
day afternoon, and was then in an ex-
ceedingly hard "gumbo" formation.
Oil men and geologists who have ex- .
amined the log of the well give 1t as
heir opinion that the formations en-
,ountered are highly favorable for an
oil or gas well of big proportions.
The eyes Of the oil world seem TO-
cussed on the PasGagoula territory
Ind scouts of the various big conn
oanies are watching closely all devel-
,pme1ts.

REGISTER STORY UNTRUE.

The story appearing in the Mobile
Register of Friday morning that the
plant and machinery of the Interna-
tional Shipbuilding Co. had been sold
to a Mobile concern and would be
moved to that place is denied by
officials of the company. The only
element of fact is that some Of the
surplus machinery had been sold.
This follows out the policy Of the In
ternational adopted some time ago of
disposing of the equipment pf the
wood shipyard and such portions of
the steel yard as is not used in the
actual construction of ships.

BILLY MATrHlE HERE.

William j. Matthie, auditor of Gus.
toms HI the office Of the General Re-
ceiver of customs of the Republic of
Haiti, at Port au Prince, arrived here
today via New York on the S. S. Pan
anna. Billie Matthie is an ex.printer
of the Gulf Coast and well known Elk.
He says that Haiti Is wonderful is
land and would easily rival Cuba if
there were sufficient hotels and busi-
ness houses under American proprie-
'torship. The island is noted for it's
extensive plantations of coffee and cot
ton and the picturesqueness of it's
scenery. Near the center. but some
what nearer the northern than the
southern shores, there is mountain
group called Cialo, whose highest sum-
mits are about 5000 feet
Haiti is one of the Great Antilles
which extends from the Mona Passage
which separates it from Porto Rico to
the Windward Passage, which lies be-
tween it and Jamaica and Cuba. 1t is
justly considered the most fertile is
land in the West Indies. Port au
Prince, the capital seat of government
is situated between the large plain of
Cul de Sac and the more narrow one
extending along the southern shores of
the bay Gonaves Leogane. The streets
are straight and sufficiently wide and
commodious. The sanitary system un-
der Commander M. T. Mclean, U. s.
P. Fl. Service and Commander E. r.
Gaylor, engineer in charge of road
building, is second to none in the trop-
les for perfect drainage. The exte-
sion of good roads throughout the hab-
liable portion of the island has done
away with the time honored dnkey.
The civil affairs of the island are
under supervision of Brigadier Con-.
mander Col. John H. Russell. Mr.. A. i
j. Maumus of New Iberia, assisted by
Messrs. w. S. Matthews, Jr., w. ].
Matthie and B. Clyde Scott, all of Pas
is the collector general in
charge of all customs business.
Mr.. Matthie predicts bright future
for Haiti on account of it's salubrious
it's fertile lands, it's scenery
and its close proximity to New Or
cans. President Dlrtiguenave has JUST
aiken possession of the new national
palace, structure of stone that would
