kilograms have been received from Pet
rograd for several days, reports from

mer car, has been proclaimed emperor,
with Grand Duke Michael Alexandra
witch, his uncle, as provisional head OF
the government.
The rumors would be disregarded
here were it not for the fact that q
report from Finland last Thursday de-
clared that the transportation Of Rus
sian civilian prisoners had had to be
suspended because of current dis
orders In Russia"

SHOOK THE BOYS HAND
President Wilson and French Urchin
Exchange Xmas Greeting.

Paris, Dec. 25.-LIntransigeant de-
scribing President Wilson's shopping
tour with Mrs. Wilson, says the couple
while strolling thru the crowded shop
ping center yesterday lost their way
and asked two little boys where they
were. The lads gave the needed in
formation and then one of them
doffing his cap, astonished the presi-
dent by asking:
might one shake hands with Mon
sieur LIE President?" The president
shook hands with both boys heartily
and wished them merry Christmas
before proceeding on his way. After
calling on Premier Clemenceau the
president had his first experience with
Partisan taxi drivers. He went down
town to continue his shopping, intend
iLg to walk home, but rain set in and
he was obliged to call a cab or taxi,
which, in the present crowded condi-
ton of the capital, is as complicated
and often an exasperating experience,
cabmen and taxi drivers being mas
ters of the situation. President Will
son, tho unrecogniZed, got thru the
ordeal without difficulty.
Late this afternoon President Will
son conferred with members Of the
American shipping board and then
called upon Premier Clemenceau to
say that he was going away for q
week. Mrs. Wilson went down town
during the day to purchase store cakes
and candy, which she sent for distribu-
ton among Partisan orphan asylums.

A stable and manager were erected

depicting the alteration of the shep-

men were realistically enacted by
persons appropriately costumed. Miss
Evelyn White impersonated the Ma

The selections from Maunder's can
tata were followed by a short cantata
entitled 1.-THE Christmas Rose" The
subject of the latter Is an ancient
myth of Palestine, in which the pious
wish of a poor little shepherd maid to
present, like the wise men, some rich
gift to the Babe in the manager. Is re-
