ALEXANDRA)POL, Armenia.—Mia
£ Rath Stuart, formerly of the Chil
- dren's hospital, Boston, and thi
“* Sloane hospital, New York, but nov
a member of the American Ret
Cross, has arrived here from Tiflis
after traveling three days anc
nights in a boxcar with a bag con
taining 1,000,000 rubles for the us<
of the American hospital and or
phanage in this city.
In the Transcaucasus. which i;
without, police, money is usuallj
it
brought from Tiflis by a corporal’:
guard; but as funds were urgent!)
required and no guards were avail
able, the bank decided to entrusi
3 the money to the good sense of th<
American nurse. She left withoui
3 a soldier convoy and unarmed.
c’ j As the train left Tiflis the nurs<
was handed a sack containing «
bushel of the tri-republic notes (o!
Armenia, Georgia, and Azerbaijan)
As soon as the train was enroute
Miss Stuart emptied her persona
effects from her suitcase and re
. packed it with the money. Sh«
placed the suitcase under the blank
et on her bed and sat upon it. be
ginning her watch of 72 hours.
"j At Meganlo, three men enterec
y her car. They made signs that the)
were customs inspectors and mus1
e search for contraband. Miss Stuari
knew that the cars of foreign mis'
sions are not subject to search b)
J: the Georgian government, but she
‘‘ said nothing and did not leave hei
seat. The alleged inspectors search
ed thoroughly, seemed puzzled, anc
d ,
left.
Outside Karakilis, three horsemen
in the uniform of Cossacks, gallopec
out of a wood, firing at the train
Forty shots were exchanged be
tween riders and passengers, non;
taking effect. The riders attemptec
to overtake the locomotive, ".vhrei
was slowly making a grade, bui
were stopped by a deep gully. Dur
ing the encounter Miss Stuart die
not look out of the car. She sa

What’s Bred in the Bone
During his recent visit to the

’if it were true that the German;
were hissing American troops dotna
’ duty in Germany. “It is true," re
plied the secretary, “but don’t he

MONEY TO BEAT
> TAX COLLECTOR
—
> j BERLIN.—A brand new way has
been found to beat the new Erz
berger taxes, and a German noble
I
!
I
I
j
man, who served throughout the
war as a cavalry captain, is the one
who has made the discovery. It is
very simple—you simply spend all (
your money before the taxes fall !
due.
The baron, of ancient family,'
whom the correspondent has known
for year's, telling of his plan, seem-!
ed not to care who heard him, for
he spoke in a loud voice. He was
immaculately clad in a new suit!
that probably cost 2,000 marks, and :
wore a new pair of shoes that Ber-1
lin’s most famous bootmaker would
make for 500 marks.
“That suit is just about the fin
est thing that can be bought or:
made in Germany," said the baron.
“And what is more. I have several
.of them. All brandy-spandy new.
‘ I have suits to keep me for the;
next five years.
i “See those shoes? Well, I had
them made, and nine more pairs.
! I never had so many shoes in my
.life, but I've got enough now to
ilast some time. And everything
, else in accordance. New shirts,
.socks, underwear, the best money
jean buy. I haven’t spared a mark,
; because I am going to get rid of all
jl possess before the first of Janu
ary, when I have to make my tax
j declaration."
The baron then continued to tell
| of having gone from Berlin to Co
logne, from Cologne to Frankfort,
ifrom there to another city, and
finally back to Berlin, to avoid the
tax collector. The agent had caught
the baron finally in Berlin, had
I served him with the legal papers
making it necessary to make a tax
declaration within three months. So
the baron began to see whether he
could use his fortune up before that
time.
He declared that he had served
through the war and had given up
his comfort, many marks for uni
forms. and had had in general a
, wretched four or five years. He
had no intention, he said, of making
further sacrifices. He was going to
be “broke" by January 1, and then
would go to America and make a
new fortune.
The baron then told of others in
his class of society who were not
only doing the same thing, but
stuffing themselves with two or
three meals of an evening, just for
the sake of getting rid of money,
accompanying the meals meanwhile
with the most expensive of the very’
expensive wines in Germany today.
The baron seemed to think there
would be no difficulty about getting
to America, nor about his enthusi
astic reception when he got there.
He has been ia the States before,
back in the old peace days, when
a German officer 3nd baron was
rated somewhat higher than at pres
ent. and so he pictures himself in
stalled on a ranch as manager by
some of his wealthy friends that
were, or given a banking job in
a New York bank by some one of
the bankers he knew when he was
over on business.

WM. RODIGKEIT : Proprwlor
Announcement is made today by'
Mike Cooney that he has secured a
full load of baggage for his first;
trip over the Broad Pass trail to I
the end of steel in the Anchorage j
division. There is more in sight, in
fact, than he can handle on this :
trip, and it is probable that he will j
be accompanied by several mushers i
besides. Cooney will get away from ;
Xenana on Wednesday, and after
making a survey of conditions, will j
inaugurate a regular service over;
the •‘hump."
The stage man suggests that those j
desiring to get parcels in for the j
holidays, have them addressed to1
Talkeetna, where they will be de- !
livered by train from the coast, and
where they can be called for by 1
him. The uncertainty of parcel de- I
livery by way of the Richardson
trail makes the Cooney proposition
a very attractive one. and there
doubtless will be many who will
avail themselves of the opportunity
presented.
