RESIDENTS OF MOSCOW
 REVEL IN CHEAP BREAD
Calculated on a Gold Basis, it is Cheaper There Than Anywhere
 Else in World.

Moscow, March 16.-When calcu. cheaper in Moscow than in almost any other city in the world, and Mus kovites. after five years of bread shortage, or the consumption of weird and ache producing substitutes. are now revelling in diet of their favo- rite foodstuff. Black bread, which forms the staple diet of most Rus sians, can now be obtained in the markets at the ruble equivalent of about two and one-half American cents a pound. A year ago tho pay of the average workman was hardly sufficient to buy two or three pounds of bread a day, while now the most poorly-paid man can buy Is or 20 pounds and gorge himself and his family to the full.
 White bread costs nearly three times as much as black bread, but nowadays one may see poorly clad men and women carrying huge loaves of it through the streets. bound home to indulge themselves in a luxury which they have not had since the revolution.
 The scale of living in Moscow has greatly improved over conditions pre- vailng a year ago. and with the ex- ception of certain refugee camps, nearlyone in the city now has enough to eat
 Muskovites say that this is the first winter since 1916 when they have been able to keep their houses warm enough for comfort. The fuel supply of the city seems adequate, and wood is no longer rationed. The Moscow hotel, where most foreigners are lodged, surprised it's guests the other day by announcing that the period of semi-monthly baths had ended, and that hot water would now be run ming in all of the rooms every day.

 London, March 16.--The Church of England today is faced with the me- cessity of deciding the long-debated question of whether it's 47 historic edifices in the financial district of London shall be sold for 6.0oo,0o0 or 7,0o0,0o0 pounds sterling. of which the church stands in great need, or whether they shall be preserved as priceless relics of antiquity at a great financial sacrifice.
 Nineteen of the edifices are in sec tions of the city where there is vir- tually no attendance on Sunday. These alone would bring nearly B. 100000 pounds.

TENANTS AT WAR
American Resident of Rome at Dead lock With Italian People Living in Her Houses.

HeF dOllScS.
 Rome, March 16.--An American woman long resident in Rome re- gently bought an old palace in the center of the city, and thereby be- came landlady to a group of Italian families which with true business acumen, were subleasing rooms for 400 lire a month each while they paid from 130 to 200 lire for entire apartments. The old rent laws pre- vented landlords from increasing their rentals. but permitted tenants to sublet at whatever they could get.
 Wanting the palace for her own use, the buyer, who is wealthy, off, fered each tenant 10000 lire to move out. This was scornfully declined. Next she announced rental increase

& Developed
in AntipOdes

New sprinters are sprouting
up on various sections of the
globe. The United States is
not the only country that is
casting longing glances toward
the Olympic games at Paris
next year. Out in the Philip
pines the best sprinter in the
islands, Fortunate Catalon, tore
off the hundred in 8 4-5 Sec
onds, and a runner named San
tos Ruiz ran the $50 in 2 min
utes and 6 2-5 seconds. The in
terest in track athletics has
taken a decided jump since the
athletes have been showing so
much speed, and they want to
take part in the Olympics.
From Australia comes the
news that Edwin w. Carr ran
a sensational hundred at Sgd
ney in 8 AS seconds. This
feat equalled the best perform
ances made in Australia, w. T.
Macpherson and j. H. Hampton
having made the same mark in
1891 and 1892. Carr is de-
scribed as n slow starter with q
wonderful burst of speed after
he gets under way.

Willard was never in real fight
ing humor before. Those who re-
member the big giant when he
trained for Frank Moran and Jack
Dempsey cannot forget the conf
dence that he used to exhibit and
the outward signs of not liking the
fighting game he gave to those
who watched him in his training
stunts.
Many times did Willard tell the
fans that his only reason for be.
ing I'm the fighting game was TO
provide money for his family to
live upon.
Jess announced several times that
when he had capital enough col
lected he would retire from the
game. which was more or less dis
tasteful to him.
Dempsey. out at Toledo, Willard has
been changed man. Changed, We
mean, in his incentive to continue
in the fighting game.
Every one who meets Jess now
appreciates the fact that he has one
aim in life, that being to defeat
Dempsey in championship ring
engagement.
Every minute of hfs time is de-
voted toward this aim in life.
In fact. more than one critic
has called this yearning to fight
Dempsey IN ObsesSion on the part
Of big jess. He talks about IL
from morning until night.
This change In spirit Is going to
assist Willard greatly in his SEIZED.
uIed comeback. It will cause him
to fight with some real object in
view should he prove victorious. So
far as Johnson Is concerned, Jess
considers Floyd nothing more than
a stepping stone to championship
match with Jack Dempsey.
