BEST HATED MAN
LONDON, June 27. (By The
Associated Press) The taxicab
driver is the best hated man in
London. All through the war he
ruled the taxi-riding public with
an iron hand and his sway, ow
ing to the continued shortage of
cabs, probably will have to be en
dured for many more months.
You may ride in a taxicab here
only if the driver finds that your
destination suits his own conven
ience. His decision will be influ
enced by his quick prognosis of
the amount of the tip your ap
pearance and manner indicate.
If you look like a ''close un" you
will save time by joining a queue
for a bus or throwing yourself
into the maelstrom of a tube
crowd, for it is certain you won't
ride in a taxicab.

LONDON, June 27. (By The
Associated Press) --Physically nor
mal persons so longer are to be
found in Petrograd nor in all of
Russia, says T- Hessen, a well
known Moscow journalist and a
member of the second Duma wlio
has arrived in Copenhagen after
a long stay in . Petrograd. The
mental state produced by starva
tion, disease and nervous straw:,
he., says, forces Russian to lose
their mental balance.
L L FT 1 " it t i
ineir mental condition so

ten one cannot recognize on'e
nearest friend. I remember the
impression I had when I met tne
well-known lawyer, Rajjeffspi. At
first I did not recognize him. Soon
afterward I learned that he had
hanged himself.
"Similar things happen daily.
I think it is to be wondered -that
such suicides to not become gener
al. In all the streets one meets
still well dressed people, men and
women, begging. There they
stand some of them with their
heads down, dumb as if turned to
stone, other tonelessly repeating
'I am dying. Give me something

OLDEST CITY
UNDER UJ. FLAG
SAN JUAN, June 27 (By The
Associated Press) The fourth of
July, marks the 400th anniversary
of the founding of the city of
San Juan, making it the- oldest
citv under the American flag, and
a committee is at work arrang
ing for a celebration of that e
vent and the signing of the Dec
laration of Independence.
Cuba, San Domingo and St.
Thomas have been invited to send
representatives to take part in the
celebration.
That July 4, 1519, is the exact
date of the foundation of the city
of San Juan is the opinion ex
pressed by Cayretano Colly Toste,
historian, who has traced the his
tory of the island since the first
landing of the Spaniards in 1509.
I According to Dr. Toste the first
Spaniard to set foot m the island
of "Borinquen" was Juan Ponce
de Leon, who landed, on the 12th
of August 1509-
The next question to be an-
swered is what will become of the
, whiskey glasses and the drinking
songs.
GAME
OF CHAOS. WITH STRIKF.S
Jt ACTION
PARIS, June 27. Unless the
German peace delegates who are
to sign the treaty are heard from
today the Allied and Associated
Governments will send a sharp
note to the German Government
demanding a prompt explanation.
Meanwhile Marshal Foch has
been instructed to hold his troops
in readiness for action.
If the German delegation arriv
es here today, as expected, the
treaty is likely to be signed to
morrow. In that case President Wilson
will sail for home on Saturday.
He will make an effort to reach
America by July 4, if the George
Washington can do it.
COPENHAGEN, June 27.
Germany is skidding along the
edge of chaos. Already disturb
ances, strikes and in some cases
actual riots, havu bronen out in
some of the big cities. Hamburg
always a hotbed of Spartaeism
and one of the starting points oif
the original revolution, is under
martial law.
The fundamental rift threaten
ing civil war appears to be be
tween the troops and the officers
of he refund: Imperial Army on
the one hand and the Redicals
on the other.
Angry at Ministers
Frim Weimar comes word of at-
J tempts by troops to arrest and
hang Dr. Mat bias Erzberger and
i t,,.,. u i -i r
i Philip Schvidemann, the former
' ' I for his sudden face-about, on the
question of signing peace, the Tat
ter for not holding his Ministry
together instead of stepping out
and making room for Gustav
haner and the "signature Cabi
net." A detachment of chasseurs mov
ed on the- castle at Weimar and
demanded the surrender of Erz
berger, frankly saying they want
ed to hang him. They found
that the new Vice-Premier had
fled to Erfurt.
Vorwarts, the organ of the Ma
jority Socialist Party, openly pre
dicts today a reactionary attempt
to plunge Germany into self-annihilation.
