KEEP MEN TOGETHER
KEEP MEN TOGETHER

Manchester, England, Dec. 30
BY the Associated Press.-America
is not interested in the politics Of
Europe but is interested in he fra
ternity of righteousness that should
exist between American and Euro
pean countries, President Wilson
declared today in addressing the
merchants Of the city Of Manches-
ter who gave him a warm welcome
to that city at Free Trade Hall l..
America, re declared, is not inter-
ested merely in the peace of Europe
but the peace Of the world as we'll.
If the further future held nothing
more than the keeping the world
balanced and poised the United
States would feel it had right to
take an interest In that and would
join no combination that did not
have that end in view.
There is a cordial fraternity de-
clared the President, on the part ot
those who are willing to give lit.
tie more than they receive. This
co-partnership Of power and inter
est has failed because men are not
held together by such instruments
Devotion to the right is the only tic
that will hold the people of the
world in a solid phalanx.

THE RESULT OF
BRITISH ELECTIONS
Lloyd George Has a Big Ma
jority Behind Him in
Parliament
ASOUITH LOSES CONTROL
ASOUITH LOSES CONTROl

London, Dec. 30.-Complete re-.
turns for theelection of the new
parliament give the following re-
suits:
Coalition Unionists 334.
Coalition Liberals 1877.
Coalition Laborites 10.
Unionists 46.
Asquithian Liberals 81.
Laborites 65.
National Party 2.
Independents 5.
Socialists 1.
Sim Feiners 70.
Irish Nationalists Z.
All coalition with the Unionists
and National Party may be regard
ed roughly as supporting Lloyd
George. The only opposition will be
formed by the Asquithian Liberals
Laborites and Independents.
1t is difficult to compare the re-
suits Of this election with that OF
1910, owing to the numerous rear
rangements of constituencies under
the last reform act, but compare
son between the country areas as a
whole shows that London has gone
almost solid for the coalition. Only
three independent Liberals were re
turned and two Laborites returned
are both coalitionists.
The returns in Yorkshire are M
less astonishing. OF the Sc mem
bers from Yorkshire 26 are coali
tion Liberals; two members Of thu
National Democratic Party which
supports the coalition, are discharg
4 ed soldiers and sailors representa-
tives; eight are labor members an
only one is an independent Liberal
In Lancashire the sixty-six mem
bers returned do not include sin
gle Independent Liberal.
Even in Scotland the number
independent Liberals returned cal
be numbered on the fingers of on
hand.
Coalition leaders claim that the tw
principal factors that contributed t
their triumph are the votes of tn
women and soldiers.

SHR7NERS>COMING

SUDAN TEMPLE MET IN

AND so DECIDE D.
GOLDSBORO A CONTEN-
DER

Wilson was selected as the next
meeting place for Sudan Temple
which will probably be some time
during the latter part Of May. Thls
decision was reached after spirit
ed contest and was decided by
special committee, appointed by the
Potentate, who listened to the con-
tending delegations. Goldsboro
finding that Wilson had organized
a Shrine Club and had the cash
pledged, withdrew from the race.
"Shrinedom" was turned loose in
New Bern yesterday. Early in the
morning the "fresn meat" were as
sembled in front of the CASTOR ho-
tel and each was given small
drum and told to keep beating un-
til told to stop. AS each new can
didate arrived he was well taken
care of by Sudan Fatrol.
About II o'clock, after parade
around town in which Sudan patrol,
drum corps, and a band from Fort
Caswell led the procession, follow
ed by candidates and shriners, the
sstunts began in full blast.
One of the most interesting and
amusing of these was the one i'll
which sacks of flour were sold at 5
cents each and the person buying it
had the privilege of pitching it at
the head Of one of the candidates.
It was on the order Of pitching balls
at the "nigger's" head which is Of
tentimes seen at the county fairs
and carnivals. The -four used for
this purpose was some old worm
eaten and sour flour which was do
mated to the Shriners for this pur-
pose. The -four was put up in
small sacks and sold for five cents
each and the money derived from
it was donated to the Red Cross.
Another interesting and comical
stunt was one in which several ap-
pies hung on a string and suspend
ed from rope were dipped in glue
cose, a very sticky substance, and
the fresh meat" were led to those
apples and made to eat them with
hands tied behind them. This was
some tough job but they were told
they could not become Shriners un-
less they did it and they 'stuck" 10
Z their task.
Jack Willis was dressed up in q
! liveryman's, uniform, and was seen
driving some of the mobiles" around
the city in big cadillac car.
l Among the other stunts were dip
ping water out of a, large can with
a thimbIe, pushing peanut around
with a crowbar, and other similar
performances for the, amusement. of
the crowd. ,,
The candidates we're dressed up
as convicts, and 1t is said that two
OF them were lodged in Jail early in
the morning, as joke, on some
frivolous charge.
At one o'clock the Shriners were
entertained at the Dill warehouse al
an oyster roast which was greatly
enjoyed. ~

warehouses with about eight hun
dred Shriners and "Shrineresses' In

WOMEN MARRIED TO
ESCAPE EXECUTION
When Romance Intermingled
With Tragedy in Trying
DAYS With Bolsheviki

Copenhagen, Dec. 29.-(Corres-
pondence of the Associated Press.)
Romance was intermingled with
tragedy in the trying days when the
foreign colonies were attempting to
get permission to leave Russia. Ar
rests, searches and threats Of exc
cution were relieved by marriages
between men of the entente powers
and Russian women.

not grant Russian citizens permits
to 60 abroad. Consequently foreign
men who hoped to leave Russia

sweethearts for an indefinite period,
possibly never, if they left them in

food is denied to persons not re-
garded as "class-conscious work.
men" and all persons not in sympa
thy with Bolshevism are dispos-
sessed.
Many officials of the French and
British colonies married In the last
trying days of their stay in Moscow
and Petrograd, but the wedding OF
Captain w. L. Hicks, military aide
to Bruce Lockhart, the British dip
lomatic representative in Moscow,
was accomplished in the face OF
greater obstacles perhaps, than
those of other entente citizens who
managed to marry between Jail SEN
tences and searches.
Captain Hicks was one of the
French and English officials who
were held as prisoners in the Amer
ican consulate-general at Moscow.
He was engaged to marry Madame
Melinina, but dared not leave the
American premises to marry her.
Most of his official associates were
in prisons charged with contra-evo-
lutionary activity and in danger OF
execution. Russian prisets refused
to perform the ceremony In the
American consulate, as the orthodox
church requires that marriages be
celebrated in a church.
Major Allen Wardwell, OF the
American Red Cross, who was look
ing afte rthe interests OF foreign
prisoners, interceded with Bolshe-
vik officials, but Peters, the head OF
the commission for the suppression
of contra-revolution was firm in his
refusal to grant Captain Hicks i'm
munity il he left the American
property and walked into the Rus
sion church which stood in an ad
