There were upward of 10000 Rus

sian refugees in Yalta when the cor
respondent visited the city but the
majority of these were well-to-do
and able to take care of themselves.
In anticipation of Bolshevik invas-
ion many of them were preparing to
leave for Constantinople, France and
England. Those who were temporari-I
ly short of money were peddling
their diamonds and jewels at a frac-,
ton of their cost. Every second
store in the town was clearing
house for valuable furs, rugs, trink-
cts and other personal possessions.
Sebastopol, the chief city of the
Crimea, had 10000 refugees but
most of them were satisfied to re-
main as they felt Sebascopol was
comparatively secure from the Boil
sheviki. There seemed to be ample
food for the population but the hos
pitfalls were short Of vital necessities.
In the area north of Novorossisk,
running as far as Kuban, there are
said to be 100000 refugees who were
forced to flee from their homes in
Kuhsk, Poltava, Kiev, Kharkov and
other cities. Throughout the towns
of southern Russia there IS a general
prevalence of typhus, due to over
crowding, lack of soap, scarcity of
physicians and Indifference to clean
illness.

C. D. P. CONVENTION
TO COST $15o,ooo

Chicago, May 18.-The directing
genius of four republican conven-
tions in the past, Fred W. Upham, re-
publican national treasurer, this year
has planned his fifth and greatest
one. (,
Mr.. Upham has been chairman of
the Chicago convention committee
for 16 years and in that time pnoba-
bly, has promoted more national po-
litical gatherings than any man liv-i
irg. He has organized and financed
the local arrangements for the re-
publican gatherings since 1904.
Every four years the planning of
the big gatherings has become a more
complex and more costly affair. In
1904, the first year the republicans
met at the Chicago Coliseum, the
convention arrangements cost $7O,-
900. In 1916 the expenses had in
creased to $4,000 and this year the ,
sum will exceed $150,O0O.
To raise this money, contract for
building alterations, extra seats, dec
orations, tickets, badges, and all the
other myriad details of staging, big
quadrennial spectacle, in which more
than $4,000 delegate sand spectators
will this year participate, is Upham's
task. !.
Cost of altering the Coliseum and
decorating it will alone cost more
than $4,000 this year. The task of
otaining and then safeguarding the
tickets, is problem in itself. The
admission cards are printed on safety
paper, in special inks and then locked
in vaults until the Thursday before
the convention. None are sent by
mail, all being distributed here. In :
spite of these precautions, many fall
into the hands of spectators, who re-
tail them at anywhere from $50 to
500 each; and even counterfeiting
of the cards is not unknown.
Mr.. Upham, who has been treasur-
er of the national committee since
February 1918, has been associated
with national politics for % years.
In 1892 he was a delegate to the ma
tional convention from the 9Th Wis !
consin district. He represented a.,
Chicago district in 1912 and 1916
and ran on Governor Frank o. Low
dcn's slate for election as GeIegate- (
at-large from Illinois this year. =
He was western treasurer of the
national committee in the first Taft
campaign in 1908 and again in the
Hughes campaign Of 1916. The only
elective Offices he has ever held were
al jclm&r in Chicago in 1896 and
member Of the Cook county board of
tax review for II years. He is presi-

WAR MUSEUM WILL
BE THRILLING ONE
Collection of Mementoes in London
Will Be Large One.

London, May 1S-Sign posts bear
ing the inscription "Hell-Fire Cor
ner," "Piccadilly' and "Haig Avenue
erected by British troops just be-
hind the front lines in France, are
among the more than 10000 exhibits
being assembled at Crystal palace,
London, to form the Imperial War
Museum. 1t will be opened by the
king in June and will continue for
four years.
Exhibits innumerable have been
gathered from every land where the
war cast its trail to show the COM
mon effort of the Empire during the
great conflict. Shortly after the
signing 6f the armistice, the memoir
able sign posts mentioned were found
discarded as lumber. In addition to
those bearing "street' names, which
to many Of the men who knew them
best, had meant so many direction
posts to avenues of agony, there was
found the rallying trench sign of
VerGun with it's ''no thoroughfare.'
They were all rescued and are now
to be preserved as relics of posterity.
There will be on display the gun
that fired the first British shot in the
war-from the decks of destroyer
Lance at the minelayer Koenig
Louise; the E battery gun that open
ed the military hositilities; the anti
aircraft pom-pom which, mounted at
Gresham College, fired the first shot
ever directed at a foreign foe from
London since the days of the Romans
the occasion being the Zeppelin
raid in September, 1915-and scores
of other entries which have equally
vivid associations.
The larger pieces of ornance,
some of which weigh ii tons, are
being arranged on the floor of the
spacious hall. But the galleries will
hold displays of equal, if not greater
interest. These include war paint
ings and trench implements, realistic
scenic models and protective devices
and curbs that throw an Illuminating
light on conditions which existed in
the German army. Some of these
are amusing some tragic '
There is cycle with a dynamo at
tachment for lighting an officers
dugout upon which two of the worst
offenders had to sit in shifts and
pedal in order that those within
might have illumination while they
devised new plans of aggression
Far less amusing is specimen of :
the. enemy's "bear trap" A soldier
exploring, No-Man's-Land might step
into it's ugly spikes, concealed in
the grass, and escape from their grip
was virtually hopeless.
Looking at the lifebuoys of the
Lusitania, the shattered funnel of the
Vindictive, the portion of the Zee
brugge Mole and the formidable min
es that bestrewed the Dardenelles,
the exhibit will recall to "those who
were there" many chapters of a great
epic.

After twenty-one years in the service,

made q first lieutenant in the 47th IN
fantry, later serving on the staff of
