BELGRADE, Serbia. July 3.-Nearly
half the former Russian imperial court
have reached Serbia's capital with the
crowds Of refugees now flowing into the
country from salonica, where they have
been shipped by American Red Cross
relief transports.
Roughly 500 of Russia's higher nobil-
lty are here, grand dukes and duchessss,
princes and princesses, counts, barOns
and their families, CARRIED in the soiled
and tattered remnants of their past splen-
dor, ragged, hungry, destitute and for
lorn, rub elbows with common mortals
as they walk the streets of Belgrade, a
hapless pageant of misery.
They are the living semblances Of the
beggars in the old nursery rhyme, some
In rage. some in tags, and some in velvet
gowns"
Most of these fallen stars from Rus
SLAMS imperial constellation of pomp and
grandeur have chung to the priceless
furs they once wore when they shone In
the brilliant circles of the cars court.
1t is a common sight in Belgrade to see
a band of Russian mobiles, men and wom-
en-, penniless and hungry. carrying on
their backs furs that would fetch in New
York a small fortune, fling into some
local relief station for a bowl Of soup
and a chunk Of coarse bread to stay
their empty stomachs.
Their garments Of ermine, kolinsky,
sable, seal, astrakhan and Persian lamb
would make even blase Fifth avenue en-
vious.
Yet these frs are all that remain to
them of their former riches.
Most Of them have not a penny in the
pockets OF their luxurious cloaks and
have no idea from hour TO hour where
their next meal Is coming from or where
they are to lay their heads to rest at
nightfall.

ALASKAN BOOM rs
PLAN OF PAYNE
Intensive Development and
New Capital Is Idea.

| WASHINGTON, July 3.-Intensive de-
velopment Of Alaskan resources through
| policies which Will attract new capital
and improve transportation connection
with the United States is being planned,
| Secretary of the Interior John Barton
Payne announced recently.
Secretary Payne approved recommended
lions made by a special committee which
made a study of Alaskan conditions, and
he directed the committee to put them
| in effect as soon as possible.
Two Of the most important steps taken
| by the department are efforts to con-
solidate the two American shipping lines
now serving Alaskan ports with a view to
greater economy and efficiency, and con
solidation of federal supervision Of
| Alaskan affairs to secure prompt action.
1t Is planned to coordinate the efforts
Of commercial organizations now inter
ested in Alaska.
Secretary Payne expects to conefr
shortly with representatives Of the Pa
cihc Steamship Company and the Alaska
| Steamship Company, at which the plans
will be discussed.
Alaska has immense natural re-
sources which have never been developed
properly" Secretary Payne said.
He said that these resources would be
made available to all, and new cap
ital would be invited.
Exploitation of the resources of the
territory will not be turned over to one
interest or group of interests. Improve
ment of shipping and railroad facilities
Is undertaken with the purpose Of ad-
hitting fresh capital and opening Of the
country for settlement by American
citizens.
THE, first step in this direction Is
lowering of freight and passenger rates
and the improvement of transportation
and mail service through economies In
troduced by combination OF two existing
steamship lines into one, which the de-
partment hopes to effect.
Nearly all of Alaska's resources are
indirectly or directly controlled by the
federal government.
About 90 per cent of the land is fed
eral owned. the development of coal and
oil deposits is under government lease,
and the water power. fisheries and tim
Der are under government ownership

Britain FavOrs Hun
Motors to American

LONDON, July 3.-Only 200 CONNER
cial motor vehicles were imported into
England during the month of April from
the United States, while no less than us
commercial cars were imported from Ger
many during the same month.
This is according to a statement is
sued by the American Chamber of Com
merce in London and the reason given
for this unusual slump" in American
cars Is attributed TO the low value Of the
mark which has enabled purchasers to
obtain German cars at a tempting fig
ure for some time past
There is, however, likely TO be a
change In the situation very shortly, for
the German manufacturers have decided
that from the middle Of May they VIII

Of the country TO which they are sent
This step" is the comment Of the
Chamber of Commerce. logical though
It may seem to German manufacturers, IS
likely to remove the general incentive
OF cheapness for German cars and the
probabilities are all In favor Of IN
crea sed imports Of American cars"
