JAPAN LINES UP WITH
 ENGLAND ON THE RUHR
British Statement Say, However, Franco Belgian Disagreement With
 Them Isn't Serious.


 By The Associated Press.
 London, Aug. 7.-While little tangi- hle evidence is at hand to indicate the probability of British and French statesmen arriving at any sort of agreement at present on method of solving the Ruhr and reparation prob lems. British government spokesmen declared today that the situation was not so serious as the weekend press reports and comment seemed to in- dicate. Nss ....
 Prime Minister Baldwin and his ministers will meet again tomorrow to formulate answers to the French and Belgian unyielding statements of the policy they are carrying out with q view to getti-s separations out of the Ruhr district.
 The Japanese opinion on the note Great Britain planned to send an all lied answer to the German reparations commission has been received by the foreign office and expresses general agreement with the British proposals emphasizing the hope that Japaa's European allies would come to final and definite reparations settlement as soon as possible.

CITIES OF RUSSIA
 HAVE MANY ALIENS
Isolation of Few Years Ago
 Is Ended

Moscow, Aug. 7.--Russian isolation < is ended. Three years ago the pres ence of a foreign visitor in Moscow of X retrograd was sufficient to cause the native populace to stare at him as if he were being from some other world. Two years ago foreigners were still so rare that the few American and British newspaper correspondents scented story in each of them and tried to interview all who, came to Russia. Last year they were still sufficiently rare to arouse some curi- osity
 But today, Moscow, Petrograd and the other principal cities are thickly sprinkled with foreigners; daily trains from the outside bring them in by the dozens, and they arouse no more interest than they would in any other + European capital During June more than 1000 foreigners visited Petro- grad, and even more, perhaps, came to Moscow. Most all of them were business seekers.
 Hotel accommodations in Russia are still so limited, particularly in Moscow. that the government has not yet found it advisable to admit large numbers of tourists. Everyone must have some legitimate business reason before he, can secure his visa.
 Within a short time, perhaps in 1924, hotel accommodations are to be improved and it may be that Russia's interesting revolutionary scenes will become a Mecca for tourists. u...
 Only a year or so ago travellers coming into Russia faced an uncom- fortable trip, with crowded and ir- regular accommodations They ar rived in Moscow with the equipment of Polar explorers, and much bug powder, expecting, and in some. cases finding, considerable hardship. Even today some travellers roll into Mos- COW or Petrograd with equipment de- vised for primitive life, much to the amusement of those who are here.
 The trains to Moscow, both from Warsaw and Riga, are now well equipped. There is either a dining car or there are good station res- taurants along the line, and upon ar rival in Moscow or Petrograd the visitor finds reasonably comfortable and fairly clean accommodations. In overcrowded Moscow he may not be able to get a room for several days in which event some fellow country man tucks him away on a sofia, but in Fetrograd. where the hotels are spacious. he can get as good accom- modations as in Berlin or Vienna. S
 In Russian provincial cities, how ever,. the hotels may still be full of insect life. Most of them always were.

TORTURE PRISONERS
Charge is Made That in Some Georgia Prison Camps, UuruIy Prisoners are Tied up by Their Thumbs

Atlanta, Ga. Aug. 7-Charging that 3"convicts in certain counties in Geor- gia are being suspended by their thumbs for hours, or bound to trees with heavy chains, or placed in tor ture boxes" Representative Bennett of Dodge county attacked the system of punishm ent now in use in convict camps at a. hearing last night before committee of the Georgia legisla- ture. The committee before adjourn ing voted against a bill offered by Mir. Bennett. that would restore the use of the strap on unruly convicts.
 The whipping of convicts was or dered abolished early this year by Governor Thomas W. Hardwick.
 It was asserted by others that some counties are threatening to turn pris- oners back to the state on the ground that it is impossible to work them without using the whip.

delaying his drive until Harris had

had overcarried the drive.

BIG SERIES RECEIPTS
REVISION IS SOUGHT

NEW YORK. November 22-The
New York Giants will ask the joint
major league gathering at Chicago
next month to change world series
regulations whereby expenses for the
annual classic will be deducted from
the gross receipts and before any
division among players. advisory
council or clubs Ia made.
This announcement has been made
by ]. ]. Tierney. club secretary. who
asserts the Giants have the support
Of the New York Yankees in the plan.
The suggestion is an outgrowth Of
tho situation In 1922. when the two
Gotham clubs lost money in conduct
Ing the ave-9Ame series won by the
Giants. This was due chiefly to the
distribution to charity b. Commits
sfoner Lands of about $120.000, the
receipts of the tie game.
Competing clubs now pay the series
expenses out Of their respective shares.
Under the proposed method. expenses
would be taken out drst and the re-
matnder of the money divided on q
net, instead Of gross. basis.
