(Delayed") Living conditions in Chita as ob- I served by one who accompanied the Crane party thus Tar on the (journey to America via Russia, are far from being as desperate as I might be imagined from the re 1 ports of political upheavals con 'tinually coming out of Siberia. There is no scarcity of food and almost all of the commodities of personal and household consump tion can be found in the bazaar and market, at prices lower than those prevailing in Harbin and Peking. The public gardens are patron ized by reasonably well dressed crowds. In the city garden two orchestras play and there are fre quent vaudeville performances. Many of the bourgeo'ise families have been reduced to poverty and there is a lack of ready funs in many quarters but the people ! jshow little sign of real suffering. At Chita there is perfect order and no evidence of popular dis content.
