COPENHAGEN, Nov. 2O.--The Uk-

ed and Kiev has been captured by
troops from Astrakhan, according to
Kiev dispatches to Swedish newspa-
pers. The Ukrainian national assem-
bly, has fed and a provisional govern
ment has been established by the cap

commanded by General Denikine, lead
er of the antiBolshevist forces.
ARCHANGEL, Nov. 19.-The Boil
shevik forces along the Dvina, their
infantry attacks having been repulsed,
today were bombarding the Russo-al-
lied positions on the left bank of the
river at Tulgas. The allied artillery
is replying vigorously.
Since late in September the Bolshev.
Xxi have been trying stubbornly but
fruitlessly, to drive the allied forces
up the wilma to north of its junction
with the Vaga. The small amount of
ice in the river at this time of the year
is helping the enemy gunboats. The
Bolsheviki apparently possess large
number of river craft on which to
mount naval guns brought from Petri-
grad.
AS long as the enemy gunboats are
able to move. the Americans and Brit
ish are combating great odds. But
the enemy infantry is no match for the
allies, the Bolsheyik losses in killed.,
wounded and captured being at least
five times that of the allies.

man naval critic, has chosen the NOM
ent when the finest vessels of the Ger
man navy are about to be surrendered
to the allies, to publish in the Berlin
Tageblatt, sensational article con.
corning revelations regarding the
German fleet. Captain Persius says
the hope that the German fleet would
be able in a second Skagerrak battle
to beat the British fleet rested upon
the bluff and lies of the naval auth
critics
In August, 1914, Germany had about
one million tonnage in war ships,
the writer points out. while Great
Britain had more than double that, and
thanks to the mistakes of Won Tirpitz,
the German material was quite infe-
rior to the British. In the Skagerrak
battle, he declares, the German fleet
was saved from destruction partly by
good leadership and partly by favor

fleet were enormous, and on June l.,
Captain Persius says, it was clear to
every thinking man that the Skager-
rak battle must be the only general
naval engagement of the war.
Subs Prove Ineffective.
At the beginning of this year, Cap
tain Persius states, the German navy
consisted only of dreadnaughts, and
batleships of the Helgoland, Kaiser,
and Markgraf types, and some few
battle cruisers. All the ships which
Won Tirpitz had constructed from
1897 to 1906 at a cost of Vulnerable
millions had been destroyed and the
U-boats that had been constructed,
had proved unable to fight against
British war ships.
In official quarters it was still stat

nous number of U-boats, and that the
losses were virtually MILL

Approves Of Mutiny.
In April, 1917, Germany had 1876
submarines and in October LAG. In
February 1918. she had 1876 and in
June of the same year 113, according
to Captain Persius's figures.
Only a small percentage of these
submarines were actively operating at
nay given time, Captain Persius de-
clares. Submarine crews he said were
not sufficiently educated and trained
and they looked with distrust upon
the weapon.

INSTEAD
OF MARTIAL. ZEAL
IN GERMANY NOW
CBy Associated Press)

NEW YORK, Nov. 20-Marital ardor
has been supplan by marital zeal in
Germany. This is evidenced by the
advertising columns of German news
papers received here. Matrimonial
ads cover whole pages and inserted by
people of all ages and walks of life.
A feature of these advertisements
is that many make appeals for hus-
bands or wives for relatives. Par
ents. brothers, sisters and even friends
of those who seek mates invite cor
respondence from those matrimonially
inclined. War invalids, wealthy ply
sicians, manufacturers and rich wild
ows are among those who resort to
publicity.
One advertiser says he is a widow
er who has property amounting to sew
eral million marks. He admits he is
5S years old, but says he looks
younger" A physician who has an
annual income of 100000 marks seeks
to arrange meeting with "a beauti-
full, stately woman, object, matri-
mony"
Scarcity of tobacco in Germany is
shown by thes large number of adver-
tisements offering to purchase cigars
and cigarettes in any quantity offered.
That the Germans are preparing to
embark on large commercial cam
paigns in the east is inferred from ad-
vertisements asking for statesmen to
find purchasers for German products
in Poland and Ruman!a. Other an
nouncements request manufacturers
to submit samples Of articles which
are suitable for eastern countries. !"

WASHINGTON, Nov 20. Presi-
dent Wilson has set no limits on the
length Of his stay abroad in connec-
ton with the meeting Of the peace
conference. This was the impression
gained by Democratic senators at q
conference with the president last
night.

throughout the sessions OF the formal

the outset is necessary" In the minds
OF senators attending last nights con-
ference there was belief today that
Mr. Wilson would remain abroad in

ference has been completed.
While absent from the United
States, the senators said the president
intends to conduct all the affairs Of
his office, as though he were in Wash
ington. Cables, wireless and dispatch
boats will be used to transact busi-
ness as the occasion demands. The
president is understood to hold that

bassy abroad. he is technically on
American soil and for that reason can
perform practically all Of the func-
tions OF his office.

Special interest in the principle OF
the freedom of the seas as part OF
the peace treaty and the belief that
the foundation for league of nations
should be laid at the peace confer
ence, was understood by the senators
as determining factors in the decision
of the president to set no time for his
return from abroad.
Reconstruction and legislative prob
lens also are understood to have been
discussed at the conference. Crea-
tion of a reconstruction commission
of any sort was said to have been OPP
posed by the president. who, 1t Is un-
derstood fayors the solution yef recon-
struction problems by existing agen-
cies. The senators were said to have
been told that views OF the president
on reconstruction and legislation will
be embodied In his address before
congress at the opening Of the new
session Dec. 2. The American repre-
sentatives at the peace conference
and their staffs will occupy building
on the Place De La Concorde, which
has been the headquarters OF the
American Red Cross since June. Head
quarters for the Red Cross now are
