CIT o. MISERY
Desolation Marks the Great
Georgian Capital.
All Gayety and Prosperity Vanished
With Introduction Of the Boil
-. shevik Influence.

Tif1s, Georgia, is today city dreary
by day, terrible by night. The last
city Of Importance to come under the
influence of the Bolshevik emblem of
the hammer and the scythe, replacing
the double-headed eagle Of the en-
pire, here are contrasted the happy
old days Of gayety and prosperity with
the dull. 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
boots, black long coats and flashing
silver belts and swords, are seen few
addressed red soldiers, looking hungry
and uncomfortable in ill-ftting clothes
held together by loose belt. Bare
footed, dirty, white-faced, ragged boys
clamor for chance to carry baggage
Peasant women and bourgeois wom-
en- of the old regime stagger along un-
der loads of baggage or packages
Of food and fruit brought from the
country. Broken-down hacks wait for
fares, pulled by thin, underfed horses.
The streets are dirty and ill-swept,
full of holes. ,.s
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
hnery of their national costumes, all
Is down at the heel.
Women often go stockingless. Their
shoes show signs of patches done over
and over again until they are COM
posed of patches only. Their skirts
may be Of old pieces of silk and their
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 gentility. 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
most part, and when open only have
a few bottles of French or Italian per-
fumes, and little else. A pair of Amer
lean shoes of poor quality was seen in
one window, marked 10000 rubles,
an incredible sum Of money in a city
where monthly salary of soviet en-
ployee is 5000 to 5000 rubles.
Small trading is done on the market
place, where starving families sell off
f1nery and jewelry which escaped the
wrecks of their homes. These homes,
once so comfortable and bountiful in
hospitality, are cold for lack of fuel,
dreary for lack of food, often curtain.
less, with here and there bullet marks
on the outside walls. The toilets and
baths are useless because the city

manders 60 about with set, stern faces,
as if the world was watching.
Cholera in summer, starvation in
winter-this is the lot of Georgia.

WASTING Time,

Lively scenes were witnessed at
Karachi, India, at the opening Of the
trial of the brothers Ali and others,
for conspiracy to seduce Mussulman
soldiers from their duty.
Mahommed Ali, the firebrand of the
party, refused to plead or to recognize
the authority Of the court.
The judge ordered the accused men
to stand up, but they refused to do so.
The seats were then removed, and, at
once, all the men squatted on the
floor, and resisted the efforts of the
police to make them stand up.
Mahommed Ali, when told he would
be charged with contempt of court,
retorted that he would like to be SEN
fenced and shot or hanged at once,
without all this fuss"

LOST RIVERS !. UNDER L0nD0N
Beds Of Once Much Used Streams Ere
quently Come to Light Dur
ing Excavations.

There is something weird in the
very words, ''lost rivers" something
suggestive Of caverns and of the dark,
and, incidentally, of treasure. In the
cases of some departed streams there
are caverns and dark and treasure
truly enough, but the rivers "lost in
the streets of London have gone for
ever, choked up by the great over
bearing city which knows no check in
its mighty growth. ~.
In the ancient days numerous riv-
ers, rivulets and brooks ran through
the land now paved so closely and
crossed and recrossed by streets and
subways. Some Of these rivers of the
past were so large as to cause serious
foundations. Now they have totally
disappeared, and men walk easily on
asphalt pavements instead of picking
their way over stepping stones or
crossing small foot bridgesl 49,
In digging London cellars shovels
often uncover evidences not only of
land but of water life. In 1895 a man
excavating at Cheapside, fifteen feet
below the pavement, came on the chan
mel Of brook, on the bank Of which
was tree sawed into five steps, so
that one could step over the same
brook. In 1884 a river channel was
uncovered with an ancient landing
stage of mosaic pavement.
Laying the foundations of the Ma
tional Safe Deposit building brought
to light at the depth of forty feet the
ancient course of the Wellbrooke, in
the bed of which was found an enor-
nous quantity of broken crockery and
kitchen utensils-evidence that the
careless cook or maid Of English
Rome had ways of concealment not un-
like those of today. The banks Of the
Wellbrooke were .favorite sites for
fashionable villas.
The river Fleet formed an important
part Of London topography. Extensive
gardens ran down to the rivers edge.
Old bridges and piers have been dis
covered, ancient wharves and anchors,
all hidden under the hurry and stir

An Important Decision.

The United States supreme court
this week handed down an important
decision when it ruled that the non
partisan grain grading laws of North
Dakota conflict with the federal grain
laws and are therefore unconstitu-
tional.
An injunction obtained by the Farm
ers' Grain company Of Embden, N. D..
restraining the authorities from en-
forcing the state law regulating the
grading of wheat and it's storage in
elevators was upheld by the supreme

Two Farms.

A conductor on the Pennsylvania

the car came to stop at the federal
building, a mail carrier friend entered
and the conversation started about
hard times. -- ..
The conductor said, Il know you,

Nineteenth Amendment Valid.

The United States supreme court on
Monday declared the woman suffrage
amendment constitutional. Affirming
the Judgment of the state courts of
Maryland, the supreme court ruled
that the nineteenth amendment, CIV

votes with men, does not conflict with

tended in the test suit.

that the Persian population is going to

The very best proof that this is sound
