were particularly popular with tae

ROMANCE AND TRAGEDY.
Dark Days in Russia Relieved BY Ro-
mantle Marriage.
{ Correspondence Associated Press,

CORRESPONDENCE Associated Press
Copenhagen, Nov. 26.-Romance was
intermingled with tragedy in the try
ing days when the foreign colonies
were attempting to get permission to
leave Russia Arrests, searches and
threats of execution were relieved by
marriages between men of the entente
powers and Russian women.
The bolshevik government would
not grant Russian citizens permits to
90 abroad. Consequently foreign men
who hoped to leave Russia shortly
could not hope to see their sweethearts
for an indefinite period, possibly never,
if they left them in starving, disrupt
ed Russia where food is denied to
persons not regarded as "Class-con-
scious workmen" and all persons not
in sympathy with bolshevism are dis
possessed
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 Lockha-t, the British diplomatic
representative in Moscow, was ac-
complished in the face> OF greater OBJ
stacles perhaps than those OF other en-
tente citizens who managed to marry
between Jail sentences and searches.
Captain Hicks was one Of the Eng
lish and French officials who were held
Is prisoners in the American consul
date at Moscow He was engaged to
marry Madame Melinina, but dared
not leave the American premises to
marry her. Most OF hO official asso-
cates were In prison oharged with
contra revolutionary aneHfty and IN
danger Of execution. Russian priests
refused to perform the ceremony IN
the American consulate, as the ortho-
dox church requires thar marriages be
celebrated in the church.

can Red Cross who was looking after
the interests Of foreign prisoners. in

| was firm i'm his refusal to grant Cap
tain Hicks immunity II he LETT the
American property and walked into

came interested in his plight and tele-

engaged and the party stopped in an
orthodox church on the way to the
