CARLOAD OF MONEY
 FOR THREE THOUSAND

Crane, former American Minister to China, attributes the success of his across Siberia and through Russia to the ingenuity of his Chinese cook who, he stated, never failed to return from most precarious scouting trips with eggs and some meat whenever MT. Cranes car halted for foraging purposes.
 "He even succeeded in ferreting out one of his fellow countrymen who would come down to our car and attend to the weeks laundrying," said MT. Crane in the course of an informal narrative of his 7,00o-mile journey.
 The 1oo,ooo,oo0 Soviet rubIes for which MT. Crane paid S3,000, Ameri- can money. were carried in bales which occupied a large part of his car.
 Everywhere along the route, he said, there were evidences of the food shortage multiplying also was the shortage of clothing, many women being seen walking the streets of Petrograd and Moscow without stockings and shoes.
