STEPS TAKEN TO
REVIVE PETROGRAD
" THE DYING CITY,
(By the Associated Press)

Reval, Esthonia, July 1s.-The Rus
sian soviet council Of labor and defense
mas taken urgent steps to revive Pc
trograd, which even the bolshevil;i
themselves have recently termed a
dying city"
Thousands of workmen, confronted
by starvation, and realizing that Mos
COW was favored over Petrograd in
the matter of food distribution, have
recently left the city, with the result
that scarcely enough man-power was
left to operate what few factories
could be provided with fuel.
AT session Of the All-Russian cen.
tral executive committee held in Mos
COW few days ago it was decided TO
give Petrograd preferential privileges
in regard TO fuel and transport, to
place Petrograd in the same situation
as Moscow with reference 10 food
supplies, 10 establish special distrlc,
from which food supplies should be
drawn solely for the use Of Petrograd
and TO enjoin all OF Russia 10 come
to the aid OF Petrograd in the matter
OF food and fuel supply. A special
commission, headed by Premier Lenine
and including zinovieff, governor Of
Petrograd, was named 10 carry out
the work
It was declared that only one.sixth
OF the pre-war number of Industrial
enterprises were in operation in Pe,ro-
grad. The population Is said TO num-
Der less than 100000 a little more
than third Of the pre-wsr figure.
The committee also decided 10 in.

ing branches of the government,
The percentage spent for war in the
previous fiscal year ended June 80,
1920, was 92 cents out Of each dol
lar collected in taxes. The actual
amount was 4,235, 900. But in
that year the government received in
taxes a total OF s6,4O3, ,S44 900. In the
fiscal year just ended, therefore, war
cost the peace government of the
United States just s2.O97, ,S29, 900 less
than in the preceding fiscal year.
For the first II months of the fis-
cal year Just ended, the government
spent total of sS,493. $4,000 for war
purposes. OF this the largest single
item was the maintenance Of the War
Department and the army, for which
total of 9S7,5S4000 was expended
The Navy Department spent S61O0O0,-
600. This is a total for these two de-
fense departments Of s1,597 ,5S4,OO0
Interest on the public debt, mainly
arising from the great war, cost the
government $3.50 ,65SOOO in the first
II months of the fiscal year. Detailed |
figures for the entire year will not |
be available for several days.
The Shipping Board, created during |
and as a result Of the world war;
spent a total of s191, $4,000, without
counting the loss that was incurred |
when the board was forced to sell |
ships at far below what they cost the
government. This loss is an item that
will increase during the present fiscal
year as more and more ships are dis
posed Of
The government paid 2S,5ss 900 to
the railroads on account Of obnga.
tions incurred during government rail
control brought on during the war
These are only the larger expendi-
lures.

MARCUERs ORDERLY. AND
IN EARNEST. THEY SAY

Racine. W. Va, Aug. 26.--The camp
which spread around this little town
through the Indian Creek valley. was
alive bright and early and camn. fires
which had died down during the
night blazed brightly as the marching
miners prepared their breakfast
There was no haste. but each group
moved as though Il had specified in
structions to get under way with all
possible speed.
The vanguard. far up Indian Greek
from Racine was In motion early. but
IL was about o'clock before the main
body of marchers began to move.
There was still no apparent leader, but
certain ones sprang up in different
sections of the camp who appeared to
have the direction of certain num-
bers of men.
These they formed into a ragged line
and as the parties to the west Of
them took to the~fnad. they fell in
behind.
Inquiry among the people of Racine
developed that no thieving had been
reported and there were no reports of
shooting at the camp. The men who
would discuss the movement said they
were in earnest and proposed To carry
out their project.

VALUABLE BAR PIN RECOVERED

There was quite a scene at the
Thompson's the other evening-when
Mrs. Thompson discovered that she
had lost her diamond bar pin, the one
her husband had given her for a we'd
ding present.
Mr.. Thompson probably had the
hardest time Of anybody. because he
had both his wife and the lost pin on
his hands. so to speak. Next day he
said that he had thought the hardest
job would be to find the pin, but that
really was easier than getting his
wife calrned down.
First of all, he said, he gave Mrs.
Thompson a liberal application of
smelling salts and persuaded her TO
''lie down for a while"
Then he told her about all the people
he could recall. who had lost things
and had them returned. This didn't
seem TO be very convincing, he ad-
mitted.
And then he called 22o6.
And the next day, man, with a
copy of Every Evening@opened to the
Lost and Found ads in the classified
section--under his arm and Mrs.
Thompson's pin in his pocket, called
at the house--and the sun came out
