CITY Of MISERY
Desolation Marks the Great
Georgian Capital.
All Gayety and prosperity Vanished
With introduction of the Boi-

old days Of gayety and prosperity with
the duh misery of the new regime.
At the railway station, on entering
the city, the difference is seen and felt.
Instead Of staggering guards in black

silver belts and swords. are seen q few

and uncomfortable in ill-itting clothes

The streets are dirty and ill-swept.
full Of holes.
People wear clothes that seem TO
belong to another era. Here. where a
dozen tongues were spoken and where
100 tribes used to gather in the proud
fnery of their national costumes, all
Is down at the heel.
Women often go s~toekingless. Their
shoes show signs Of patches done over

posed Of patches only. Their skirts

jackets Of military cloth, or even the
black leather Of aviator coats. ShawlS
have replaced hats.
The men civilians wear clothes that
are a parody on shabby geniiiity. Their
top boots are all top, the soles and
heels long since worn away. All sorts
of military odds, and ends, from all
the armies, of Europe, contribute to
their dress-khaki puttees, yellow
leather jackets, British canvas trous-
ers, French blue caps, United States
army coats.
The stores are boarded up, for the
part. and when open only have
a few bottles Of French or Italian per-

made
The galleries BURST into applause
Under the treaty. the three great
naval powers-the United States,
Great Britain and Japan-will scrap So
great capital ships OF a total tonnage
of 1,S61,643. The smaller number Of
old ships to be junked by France and
Italy contribute to make these figures
even higher.
These ships include the capital ship
building program Of the great naval
powers, the realization OF the dreams
Of Navy e seeking to make their
country dominant in the ever faster
race Of naval competition.
