Vladivostok.-An expedition to
the rich country of Kamchatka is
being prepared by the VladiyostoZ
government, which does not recog-
nize the claim OF the Chita govern
ment that the peninsula has been
overturned to the Jurisdiction Of
the Soviet. A broad Investigation

the object of the proposed expedi-
ton The report is current that
the Bolsheviks have secretly stored
a large amount of gold and furs in
k.amchatka.
The first landing will probably
be OkhotSk. The situation in this
port is at present peculiar. After
the coup of April, when 200 armed
partlsans occupied the old town.
the original residents were driven
out to a place called B~uligan. 10
miles off, where they established
themselves under the leadership
of Mr.. Sentyapoff, the political
commisar of the maritime govern
ment.
The partisaus consisting chiefly.
of refugees from Yakutsk are
working gold in the mines of Fog
Gilman and Koltsoff. There are
about 1000 Koreans who are not
participating IN the political dis
cord of the two Russian groups. A
japanese transport. which called
at Okhotsk in June landed a de-
tachment which adopted a neutral

For the last three years furs and
gold were not exported from KAN

IT COMES
AGAIN D
SWAY OF REE

Brusa, Asiatic Turkey-After COO
years of Turkish occupation. Brusa
is again under the dominion of its
ancient owners, the Greeks. With
IN sight Of the tombs of the first six
sovereigns of the Osmanli dynasty,
thousands of Greek troops are
CHARTERED, and the old capital of
Bythinia has every appearance of
q great modern military base.
Trade is f1ourishing. The hotels
r crowded with business men.
Living is cheap. The Greek occu-
patton has brought about a distinct
revival of local commerce.
The Turkish merchants find the
Greek soldiers good customers,
and they are waxing rich on them.
They have also found the Greek
government good buyers. Some of
them have closed large contracts
o the feeding and equipment of
King Constantine's Anatolian army.
Others may be glad to see the
Greeks 20, but not Brusa's trades
people. They have enjoyed no such
prosperity in years.
Brusa lies on the slopes of YER
dant Olympus, so miles southeast
of Constantinople. 1t is considered
the most beautiful as we'll as the
most healthful city in the Turkish
empire. King Constantine of Greece
selected it as his home during his
Secept visit to Asia Minor. 1t is
noted for its mineral baths and it's
silk products.
According to popular belief it has
a mosque and a promenade for ev-
cry day in the year. so that one
eed pray or walk in the same
place only once a year.
The city's population, which
numbers about 100, 900, is a be
wildering mixture Of Asiatic and
European nationalities. One sees
in the public square and the mar
row eobbled streets groups of COM
mercial travellers, tourists, holy
men, scholars, dervishes. janis
s~aries, eunuchs. yelled women
princes and paupers. millionaires
and mendicants, soldiers and spies.
The market place is a babel of
tongues. Gentiles and Jew, Mos
lem and Greek, Levantine and Eu-l
ropean rub elbows and speak each
others languages. They care lit
tie whether the Greek army or the
Turkish army occupies the town:
they want to be left in peace and
allowed TO pursue their wonted call
ings.
The port of Brusa is Mudania,
the Sea of Marmora, an hours
ride by narrow-guage railroad from
Brusa. Mandania is an important
military base for the Greeks. Scores
of army transports with men, NUM-
tons and supplies arrive weekly
for h Anatolian front. During
the recent operations near Angora,
Mnndania was the main artery of
for the Greek troops. Thou
of Greek and Armenian ref-
ugees, fearing Turkish Nationalist
reprlsals, have sought shelter
within the city of Brusa.
