The harbor is, filled with idle, and disabled warships and merchantmen.

The only life here is on the beaches

and soldiers pass the tima when not reading bulletins from the various Russian fronts, at the official news

These. . bulletins afford depressed -Crimeans much encouragement. Most women here have no hats, but wear veils or kerchiefs about their heads. . . . i . i i i . .v a n y are wnnoui tiucmiiss, um aic charming nevertheless in bright, inexpensive gowns which they dignify with an frect and . independent carriage suggestive of American women. Six years of war have not broken the spirit of South Russian women. They "carry on" with the slight means at their disposal without complaint, and give whatever encouragement they can to men battling with the Bolfheviki along the Dnieper river and In the Don and Kuban territory. Sebastopol, with its idle dock yards and railways operated only for military purposes has not, in spite of its 80,000 inhabitants, the dynamics of a city one-tenth its size. The old Russian naval base has lost all its brilliancy, most-of its warships are rusting at the docks and its industries are closed. The civilian population is awaiting resumption of export trade, which is necessary for the betterment of the- exchange situation and the restoration of normal trade conditions.

TREASURER ANSWERS GOV. COX'S CHARGES CHICAGO, Aug. 27. "Governor Cox's statement in some cases assinged the entire quota for state and national purposes to u single city, and in other cases the amount credited to one city exceeded th entire state quota," Fred Upham, Republican na tional treasurer stated today. He cited the Governor's figures for New York at 2,000,000 and said that this was the quota for the entire state for both state and national campaign purposes. The amount credited Chicago in the Governor's table, $750,000, is $50,000 more than the entire quota of the state of Illinois, he said. "Gover nor Cox does not appreciate the difference between a quota and a budget," he added. "The quota is assessed on the basis of what we estimate would be a fair share for each state and is placed high enough to allow for a large shrinkage in the amount actually ob tained." The plan of the financial campaign was laid on lines designed to get away from large collections from the principal centers of the country. In every previous campaign of both parties, not less than 75 per cent of the funds came from New York.
