REDS NEAR TEHERAN
BOLSHEVIK ARMIES ARE SWEEP.
ING OVER PERSIA.
Threaten Subjugation of the Entire
Country-Now Within 200 Miles
of the Capital

Washington, Aug. 16.-Following In
yasiOn of Poland, other soviet armies
are sweeping through Persia. They
threaten the subjugation of that entire
country, according to advices from
United States agents.
One force of 10000 seasoned and
completely equipped troops, including
Cossack cavalry. is driving toward Te-
heran, the capital, and is but 200 miles
away. 1t is being opposed by poorly
equipped Persian army of 10000.
Other soviet armies, operating in
southeastern Persia, are practically
unOppOsed.
The statement by George Tchit-
cherin, foreign minister of Russia, that
until general agreement is reached
with Great Britain the soviet has an
absolutely free hand in the Orient" is
interpreted by state department Off
Gals TO mean that the soviet force In
lower Persia intends to drive right up
to the Afghanistan and Baluchistan
burderS.
From there it will be able to com,
| mand the route to India.
Only 5000 British troops are avail,
able for the defense of Persia even it.

Marriages at Gretna Green.

Although 1t is no longer possible for
any English couple. by simply crossing
the border in Scotland, to be wed "off
hand" as was once the case. Gretna
Green marriages are not altogether
unknown even in these days. Now
and again, a couple for romantic rea-
sons elect to be married at the old
Gretna Green smithy by means of a
simple declaration and the joining Of
hands; but as ever since 1856 the law
has been that one of the contracting
parties must be actually resident in
Scotland for three full weeks before
the ceremony, such weddings are not
very often runaway ones. Provided
the above condition Is fulfilled, how
ever, such a marriage, even if a run
away one, is perfectly legal, though in
a sense irreglar. Apart from the cost
of the railway journey to Gretna
Green station, the expense Is small.
In pre-war days the cost was about
$40. which included an excellent tea
to the bride, bridegroom and witnesses
and refreshments for the priest" The
priest" by the way is the local black
smith, James Dixon "a descendant Of
the original BLACKSMITH of Gretn9
Green" celebrated in song and story.

U. S. EXPENSES GO UP
JUMP FOR SEPTEMBER TO BE
100000, 900.
About TWo-Thirds of Amount Will
Represent Payments to Railroads
Under Esch Law.

Washington, Aug. 16.-Government
expenditures in September probably
will jump nearly $900O00,OOO, it was
estimated by treasury officials.
Nearly two-thirds of this sum will
represent payment to the railroads.
Between $5OO,OO0,OOO and $6OO,OO0,0OC
probably will be paid out under the
earnings protection provision of the
Esch-C ummins plan.
A heavy drain also is expected on
the $30O,0O0,O0O revolving fund by the
transportation act for puchase of new
equipment. Loans to the lines have
been proceeding slowly, but, with the
increased freight rates soon to become
effective, it is thought the roads will
have less difficulty in borrowing the
proportions of their equipment reeds
from private capital required by the
commission for participation in gov
eminent loans.
With this outflow from the treasury
in September, officials believe reduc-
ton of the public debt may be some
what curtailed, although reductions
will continue, it is emphasized.

All five of the bullets struck, but
only one which split into four pieces
