CZECH TROOPS
 CLEARED OF GOLD STEALING CHARGE

Tokio, June 19.-The Czcho-Slovak Minister in Tokio, Karel Pergler, has refuted the report that the Czech troops leaving Siberia by the Pres ident Grant were taking hundreds of tons of gold, silver, copper, machin- cry, sugar and other loot. MT. Perg- Ter said: "The fact is that whatever the Czecho-Slovak are carrying away from Siberia, in this case on an American transport is their own prop erty purchased with their own money. 'SThe CZecho-Slovaks have been in Siberia for a long time. These sold iers are educated men, many of them university graduates or intelligent ar tisans and craftsmen. As soldiers they were allotted certain amount of pay. Instead of spending their pay they pooled their financial resources and founded a large trading company and also a bank, the Bank of the Czech Slovak Legionaries. These re- courceS were increased under Russian conditions because the pay was fixed in francs but paid in Russian equiv alent of French currency. These in- stitutions bought considerable sup plies and it is those supplies which are now being transported to the re- public.
 'The men were especially anxious to buy COlLOn WIllCIl IS HS6dSu loC our textile industry and their pur- chases became to extensive that last October the Russian econ omiSt advo- cated a limitation of Ceczh purchases of cotton in Siberia, thus incidentally proving that we are dealing with legitimate trade, based upon the ord mary methods of sale and purchase.

CITIZENSHIP IS
 INEXPENSIVE IN SOME COUNTRIES

ConStantin ople, June 19.-CitiEen- ship is a commercial commodity which is hawked about in the cities of the Levant with an indifference which makes Westerners wonder whether the mixed commercial populations of Near Eastern cities are capable of pa trotism and devotion to any country.
 An American business man in Con stantinople who was recently employ ing some agents asked many appn- cants what their citizenship was. Without exception the men produced passports from most of the Balkan states and expressed a willingness to feign any citizenship which might be necessary and to change as circum- stances might demand. When the American expressed surprise they as sured him it was very easy to get papers fixed up for a considera- ton.
 Most of the Levantines who had German and Austrian citizenship pa pers have very speedily taken Czecho- Slovak papers or say they have be- come Jugo-Slavs. It is just as easy for them to change their nationality as it is for the chameleon to change his colors. Many Levantine firms have shuffled the citizenship of their members in such a manner as to have no difficulty in meeting any business emergencies which may arise, and make claims on the various consul lar and diplomatic representatives for assistance in their commercial operations.
 The fashion in citizenship changes in Constantinople and other Near Eastern ports just as the styles in hats. Greek citizenship has recently become very popular because of the good treatment Greece had at the hands of the peace conference and the general belief that Great Britain IS definitely behind Greek commercial 1n- terests and expects to do it's business largely through Greek intermediates

Never saw such handsome rugs

Yet the fine big gathering is offered at less than usual price.
 Grass rugs have their way into high favor, for Summer on porch and for indoor service all through the year.
 They are cleanly and cheerful and have a city which makes them very welcome.
 Woven from tough wire grass with stout warp of strong twine, they very well.
 Almost from the time they were first manufac- tured their patterns have been confined to plain color effects, often with stencied borders in Greek key and similar designs
 But here is a collection which includes rich de- signs in novel sorts:-allover figures and unique borders And there unusual colors:-rose and tan land splendid blues and brown and such. We have never seen such colors and such pleas ing des1gns-they were attractive that one deal- Ter let his enthusiasm away with his judgment and bought far too many Then he had to find outlet; so he cut his price-and we bought share of his stock

A for the talk about profiteering

TO the statement just issued by the de-

business On the basis of average val

be left an average Of only Si5l to pay
the interest on the value Of the land
and equipment.
THE fact Is that the prices OF food
rose and the rise in land values fol-
