just before Christmas Aboard the tug
Capt. Toby. Capt. Davis came up from
Aquia creek yesterday morning, and
from Hallowing point to this city ne
found the ice from an inch to an men

sible for ice to be. The big Norfolk
steamer had broken it up early In the
morning. but it had frozen again. and
the Capt. Toby had to break her way
through it.

the river for landings as far as VIM

ing the ice hard and knowing 1t would
be impossible to get into the creek,
she returned to her wharf. The Dis

she returned here without completing
her trip.

become an affair of state.
Since he assembled the throne and
Greece Joined the Entente the view
held that the marriage of the Young
King with aprincess of one of the En-
tente countries would be more in the
interests of Greece than private al
lance. King Alexander has made il
known, however, that he did not an
prove of this view, his desire being TO
marry young Greek woman of high
character, the daughter of a court Of
fetal.
The issue thus remains open as to
whether the decision will conform
with what are considered the States
interests or with the private inclina-
tons Of the monarch.
