them now admit that Soviet conditions
did not require more readjustments for
the majority than conditions under the

Russia, but they do net wish to starve
in Russia or in the Far East. The fol-
lowing is an extract from a letter re-
ceived by an American friend from a
girl who used to be his stenographer in
Moscow. This letter was written six
months ago and indicates to what Rus

A Typical Letter
The Russian Volunteer Fleet, how
ever, cannot support the hordes of
Russians who live temporarily in the
Far East. Neither can music lessons
support them. The condition of these
Russians is daily becoming more Sc
rious and some of them now express
the fervent but futile wish that they
had never left Russia. They say that
it would have been better to adapt
themselves to the new conditions Of
the Soviet regime than to live in com
munities where they cannot work and
where they are distrusted. Many of

Yokohama and Shanghai Are
Full of Refugees Who
Can't or Won't Work

SHANGHAI, July 23-When the So
Wet government came into power and
decided that going to bed at 8 o'clock
in the morning and getting up at in
the afternoon was no longer the life of
a gentleman of Russia the erstwhile
Russian gentlemen picked up the fam
lily jewels and made for the East.
There are Russians everywhere in the
Far East, crowds of them, but there are
more Russians in Yokohama, Japan and
Shanghai China. than elsewhere. They
are having difficulties. At first the
family jewels brought lot of yen and
taels. Prices went Up in the Japanese
shops and Chinese stores. Hotels were
overcrowded, and hotel clerks in the
East became as Independent as jade
statesmen. The Western world of the
Far East cursed the Russians.
Now mama's Jewels are gone. Many
Russians have started to work Most
Of them have not. The Western world
of the Far East curses the Russians.
Their credit is no longer good in
Japanese shops along the Benten-d ori,
in Yokohama, or in stores along Nan
king Road, in Shanghai. The chit sys-
TEN, by which one signs all month and
pays at the end OF the month, has long
since ceased to apply to Russians.
Many Suicides
One often reads in the foreign news
papers here small items after this
model: "Boris was found dead
last night in his room on Quinsan Road,
Shanghai. He left q note saying that
it was no longer possible for him to
live in poverty and degradation; The
landlady said that he was unable to
pay his rent for several months"
The refugees from Bolshcvism who
inhabit the Far East are numerous
poor and unhappy. They are far
away from home, with no chance of
returning until Soviet Russia is recog
nized by the world or falls, and the
prospect of honest, hard work con-
fronts them when they get home.
Meanwhile those who are used to
work are trying to work in Japan and
China. In Shanghai we have Russian
BARRIERS, garage men and dancers who
have seen better days bat who do not
think better days are coming. A man
desiring to take lessons in the Rus
sian language in Shanghai or Yoko-
hama should not advertise unless he
is prepared to receive an army of COM
petent instructors of both sexes. Music
lessons by competent Russian artists
are cheap in the East.

LONDON, Aug. 3.-Probably England
has the distinction of performing the
marriage ceremony in more ways than
any other country, but new form has
been introduced. The bridegroom was
Douglas Slayden. q writer and traveller.
and the bride Miss Dorothea Duthie.
MISS Maude Royden was the officiating
clergywoman.
Nobody has been married by a
woman IN this country before" Mr..
Slayden said after the ceremony "My
vile is a great friend OF Miss Royden,
and was determined we should be mar
RED by her. In order to get on the
right side Of the law we first Went to
the registry Office, and Miss Royden
later read the marriage service"
The actual ceremony took place at
the Richmond registry office, but the
chief proceedings were in MIR. Siavdea's
garden, where the guests We've invited
to hear IAN address by Miss Maud Roy
den" There, under the shady cedars,
Miss Royden conducted the service, in
the presence of the married couple and
the invited guests, who included Wis
count Cave. Lady White, Sir Max and
Lady Waechter, Lord Headley and Sav-
age Lander.
Miss Royden read what she termed
the finest poem on love in the world -
John !, Chapter 4-and next delivered
an address with love in the family and
in the world as the theme. She offered
two prayers, and closed with the Lords
Prayer and the Ben adiction.

Some Are Pitied
The Russians who are to be nitied
are those who came East expecting to
work where they could get food. be-
cause in Russia there is not enough
1909 Tor those who can get work. They
ma now that they cannot work be-
cause they do not know English. or
because they are disliked for the sins
of their riff-ratf. The foreign commu
mites do not like Russians because
Russians often do not pay their bills
There is also the fear that they may
want to borrow money. The foreign
communities do not like people who
may want to borrow money and who do
not pay their bills. "Those Russians"

of foreigners of other nations in China
and Japan.
Those Russians are now wondering
where and how to live. They are not
allowed in some countries. Japan
sends some of them to China, if Japan
thinks they are dangerous. China
allows them to stay, but China cannot
use them as day laborers, or laborers
OF any kind, because they cannot
compete with the enormous coolie class
of China, who live on less a day than
any thirty Russians. Russians can
not dig bitches, or act as longshore-
men, because coolies are cheap. Rus
sian women cannot become nurse girls,
because a Japanese or Chinese amah
is cheap and not tempermental. There

become desperate and shoot them

Riggs Recommendations.

(Ketchikan Chronicle )


 While the full report of Governor Thomas Riggs Jr.. not been received the telegraphic summary document received yesterday from the national capitol forth recommendations of the chief of the Territory which do him credit Chief among these is the appeal of the Governor for th2 lassaae Of he Curry bill, providing for development boa rd for Alaska
 Nothing is true than the statement of Gov cIuor Riess that the chief opposition comes from tle bureau chiefs of Washington, who always tatful that they will lose of their domain, and thereby their prestige, their jobs. No de d3plent project can be greater than the man direct its U and this accounts for the lack of development c> many Of resources of Alaska which have been under inc hands of who either know care hing of the work in hand.
 Were f not serious, of the greatest jOke tf tle Federal administration is the fact that Dr, smith the head of the Bureau of Fisheries in charge q the Federal administration of the fisheries in Alaska has not been in the Territory for five And upon good authority it is learned tA1 he will not consider the recommendation of his avn assistants who have a personal knowledge of ] nditions That is but of many instances. There thirty bureaus having a say to the man mcnt of Alaskan affairs, and not three of tsem have been in the Territory in years. Some of thcm have never been here.
 The recommendation of the Governor that the flefadden b giving a bonus gold production, -iaAld be extended to Alaska, is also commendable lof certainly nowhere in the country is the miner in much need of assistance in the land of great distances, costly transportation and freight facil- ties Equally commendable his appeals that the forestry money of the national forests collected in Alaska, should to the Territorial treasury stead of the national srongbox. The applies to the sealeries of the Priblofs.
 With few exceptions wherein concurrence can not be given, the recommendations of Governor Riggs are deserving of tn 5support of the Delegate from Alaska and all commercial organizations the Ter litory, as well as by every citizen individually.
