The stifling dust descended again to the caravans, leaving the able travelers choking and dying. * crossroads became centers of death. Even cattle which had staggered along, attached to their owners’ carts, fa.led to survive heat and dust at the crossings and fell dead In the road. The carcasses were stripped of flesh and used as food. millions or sufferers. While the caravans, heading toward the promise of harvests in the T kral “ e and Russia’s boundary countries continued the most miserable victims of ® u, ‘ sia’s great drought there were millions more of sufferers, according to reports reaching here by way of Reval, Copenhagen and Berlin. The principal developments, accord.n„ to those reports, were: The extension of the soviet relief co mittees’ activities. The threat of mutinies by different regiments who suffered ration cuts. The establishment of a heavy guaru around the Kremlin In Mo.cow where soviet officials stored provisions to withstand a Biese. If necessary. Moscow became virtually a military ramn. Many regiments were taken up to the city and stationed so that every possible gathering place could be commanded. ARMORED CARS GUARD SOVIET AUTHORITIES. The International battalion, Including many foreign enthusiasts for the Bolshevist cause, was assigned the honor of guarding the Kremlin. Soviet authorities have abandoned their policy of mingling freely with the crowds. When recessarv to leave the Kremlin now they go about In closed cars, accompanied by armored cars and squadrons of havalry. The panic has affected all Russia. W ith thousands dying daily In the drought region, the great Volga Valley, every other section was endangered by the shortage of wheat. Flour commands almost any price. In Simbirsk the best of peasant cottages are offered for forty-six pounds of flour. Generally the peasants make no effort to sell. They merely load their portable goods Into a cart and Join the great throngs which are shuffling across the shimmering steppes chasing the mirage of plentiful food. MEAT PRICES QUOTED IN THOUSANDS OF RUBLES. Meat Is valued at thousands of rubles a pound. The minister of food has reported that 70,00i1.000 pounds of corn have been collected in the Ukraine and will be distributed. Even that amount was expected tc make little Impression in Russia, however. The official has gone to the extreme of taking next year’s seed In requisitioning supplies from districts where crops are fairly satisfactory. Reports to the food minister's office showed that rains had fallen In some ary sections but only added to the damage. 20,000 Casualties in Morocco Fighting LONDON, July 29.—Twenty thousand Spanish troops and rebellious Moorish tribesmen have been killed, wounded or capture In the violent battles that have been raging In Morocco, said a Tangier dispatch to the London Times today.

CHILDREN PAY TRIBUTE TO U. S. 6,000 in Tiflis Observe American Independence Day. NEW YORK, July 29—How 6.000 school children in Tiflis, Republic of Georgia, celebrated the Fourth of July in honor of the United States, and as acknowledgement of relief measures administered by American workers of Near East Relief during the acute food shortage, Is described in delayed cables received today by officials at relief headquarters. The demonstration began with a parade of the children, who had received from the soviet authorities. In response to a petition signed by each of them, permission to march, according to the cable. They paraded through the streets to American tunes and waving flags. In the evening a troupe of Russian actors gave a performance In the garden of the old Russian Club for the relief workers, who are weekly distributing 37,000 meals to the starving women and children of the city. The cable reports that government officials attended the performance. The same officials recently guaranteed entire freedom of operation and inviolability of relief supplies to the Near East In whose hands have been placed complete charge of more than 30,000 children of the Transcaucasia. Two other cables reporting acute need In Mesopotamia and the Antoilan areas, were received at the same time as the dispatch from Tiflis. The first from K. \V. McDowell, relief director of Bagdad, announced that 30,000 Armenians had been turned adrift without funds or provision by the closing down of a British refugee camp at Nahrumar, near Bagdad. The second cable received from H. C. Jaquith, of Parian, Conn., in chaTge of relief operations for the UonstantlnopleAnatolla area, protested against the cutting of relief appropriations for that district. This cut, officials at National headquarters declared, was made necessary by decreased contributions in this country. Mr. Jaqulth’s cable follows: “Your cable Indicating reduced contributions received. What shall we do? Shall we turn out children from orphanages, close hospitals or stop feeding the recent refugees. Give us orders and we will obey, but personally are unwilling to assume moral responsibility such an act Involves.”

5 NEW BRUGES FOR EAST END OF NATIONAL ROAD Highway Director Announces Location of Structures to Cost $26,595. Five new bridges the contract price of which Is $26,595.62, will be completed this year on the National road between Indianapolis and Richmond, according to Lawrence Lyons, director of the State highway department. m One mile west of Dublin in Deary county, noteworthy progress Is being made on a 50 foot span concrete bridge. This bridge is going up on the site of the old one and In order that traffic will not be Interrupted and there be no detour, a temporary bridge was thrown across the stream and Is now In use. The stone from the old bridge, one of the oldest In point of service in the State, is being used to rip rap the road for some distance to prevent it being washed by flood waters. Three miles east of Greenfield In Hancock county, the department Is taking the stone abutment of an old bridge being replaced with anew one, and using It to straighten a ditch contiguous to the stream crossing. As it was Impractical to throw a temporary bridge across the stream here, a detour, which Is In excellent condition, was established a mile south, Mr. Lyons said. At a cost of SIOO the highway department has reclaimed an old eightyfoot bridge with wooden floor on Road 21, five miles north of Winchester, where it spans the Mlssisslnewa River, making it serviceable for present-day traffic for at least twenty years. Some of the floor beams of this structure were never properly fastened, according to William J. Titus, chief bridge engineer, and turned sidewise under a heavy load with the result the bridge only had about onequarter Its Intended strength. New bridges going up under the highway department are designed for tha twenty-ton truck and when completed highway travelers will note the absence of such signs as "maximum load on this structure is twelve tons; uncouple the hinder before driving tractor and thrashing outfit over this structure; and $5 fine for driving over this bridge faster than a walk.” to be found on numerous old-time bridges throughout Indiana.

DEPOSITS SHOW LITTLE DECLINE Trust Companies and State Banks Report for 6 Months. Analysis of the changes deposits In the trust companies and State banks of Indianapolis (luring the first six months of this year, as complied and made public today by the Fletcher Savings and Company, shows that, despite the general business depression, that has caused unemployment and slowing down in marty lines of Industry, the depositors in Indianapolis have not seriously depleted their bank account surpluses as a whole. During the sik months, the figures show, there was a decrease in total deposits in the State banks and trust companies of less than 1 per cent of the total deposits Dec. 30, 1920. The exact decrease in total deposits was .79 of 1 per cent. The total deposits In seventeen State banks and trust companies were $51,875,163.26 as of Dec. 30, 1920, and $51,463,193 32 on June 30, 1921, the shrinkage being $411,969.74. The same analysis showed that such depressing factors as the unemployment which has existed in many lines of Industry in the city, and which usually results in depletion of savings accounts by Individuals, have not affected the time deposits of the Indianapolis financial Institutions to so great a degree as had been feared by many bankers, who had watched conditions of business uncertainty develop In other parts of the country. The total decrease In time deposits of the trust companies and State banks In the six months period from Dec. 30, 1920, to June 30, 1921, was $702,231.19. The total time deposits in these Institutions on Dec. 30, last year, was $23,860,384.52, while the total was $23,158,153.33 June 30, this year. Thus, the analysis showed, the decrease In time deposits In the two big classes of financial Institutions in the city during the six months of the winter, spring and early sumer, was 2.943 per cent.
