ONE MILLION ROUBLES
ARE SPENT IN A DAY
BY A. P. CORRESPONDENT
Sebastopol Has No Real
Cash and Very Little
to Bay.
H« e Annoclated Pnm.
Sebastopol Auk. 27.—Gne inil.iou
Don rubles were purchased for $25 here
today by the correspondent but after he
had paid 60000 roubles for a meal 13-
000 more for a short cab ride at the
close of the day was a banktupl millior-
aire. Crimea is in an unhappy silua
tion. It has 24000000.000 of roubles
but no real money and there is little to
buy here.
The harbor is filled with idle and dis-
abled warships mid merchantmen. There
are no cargoes on the docks; street cais
have been stopped because of the lack of
coal; shops have no stocks and streets
are deserted except for an occasional
carriage some wounded soldiers or
armed patrolmen. The only life het?
is on the beaches at the patk at the en-
trance to the harbor. There bathers —
for the most part women and wounded
officers and soldiers —pass the tune
when not reading bulletins from the
South Russian frontiers at the official
news bureau. These built tins afford
' depressed Crimeans much encourage
dKi-nt. Most women here have no hats
but wear veils or kerchiefs about tiie.r
heads. Many are without stockings
but are charming nevertheless in brignt
inexpensive gowns which they dignity
with an erect and independ'nt carnage
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 ami
give whatever encouragement they can
to men battling with the Bolsheviki
along the Dnieper river and in the Don
and Kuban territories.
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 nt the docks and its indus-
tries are closed. The civilian popula-
tion is awaiting resumption of export
trade which is necessary for the bet-
terment of the exchange situation and
the restoration of normal tiade Conor
tions.
