message reads:
"Owlng to hail, rain and field

10000 tons, only sufficient for eight
months for one and half million

tenslhed by new Turkish invasion

been forced to renew the life OF
refugees and fiee towards the In
terror Of Armenia. There are also
large numbers fleeing from Boshe-

Farmers, fearing famine, are I'M

Moscow, Aug. -Multimillionaires in Moscow are money poor. One hun dred American dollars now brings four million rubles, and at that, ruble is still falling in value An apple costs one thousand rubles, half mile taxi ride 30,000 rubles, an order of dinner 50,000 and shoe shine 2,O00 rubles.
 A device said to be used in Bolshevik Russia results in the speedy retire. ment of paper money A different color is issued each month, and one months paper money is not good the next month. A multimillionaire caught at the end of a month with rubles of it's color must set about mak- ing his fortune all over again and the end of the next month is likely to re- suit in the same tragedy.
