WASHINGTON, Sept. is.-Germany
gives some indication OF preparing for
a future withdrawal from the Baltic
provinces.
State Department advices today relat-
ed that The Teutons had begun remov-
al Of all useful material from the
provinces probably chief Esthonla and
Livonia) with the apparent intent OF
getting out later.
The advices came from Moscow via
Kamara and Irkutsk. They said that
hunger and disorder are everywhere in
Russia.
A new light was shed on the recent
Bolshevik treaty, according to this
message. 10 showed the Germans had
tried to form an alliance with some
strong faction against the BOlsheviki.
This effort having failed, the Germans
took the only other available course
and made treaty with the Bolsheviki
whereby the latter was to attempt to
hold the Allies in the north
Lenine's condition was reported i'm
proved.
All the department information,
coupled with press messages. tends to
show that the anti-Bolshevik move
ment and the Allied advances are be-
ginning TO bear fruit and that the Ger
mans apparently will have a new east
ern front or at least a big eastern prob
lem to contend with before long.

presidency OF Delaware Chapter, Sigma
Phi Epsilon Fraternity, which ofilce

ware. he had won distinction in scholar
ship and goOd-felOwship at the VIII
mington High School.
When Delaware College was requested
TO send a detachment Of students to

that young Smith, because OF his high
standing in the student body should be

educated in the public schools here, but
in the fail OF 1916, six months before
the time set for his graduation from
the Wilmington High School, enrolled
as a student at Delaware College, elect
ing the course in chemical engineering.
He evinced marked aptitude for that
profession and, by reason Of his fine
personal qualities, won the high regard
OF the college faculty and the students,
especially those in the Glass OF 20 and
OF the Sigma Phi Epsilon, OF which he
was a member.
Samuel X. Smith, the young lieuten-
ants father, was prominent for many
years I'm the affairs OF the Harlan and
HollingswOrth Company. OF which he
was treasurer. When the Bethlehem
shipbuilding Corporation absorbed the
big shipbuilding and carbuilding plant
on the Chrstiana river Mr.. Smith was
made assistant manager Of the entire
plant. In all he has been connected
with the plant forty-three years. He
also is a member Of the Board OF Police
Commissioners.
Since the news OF their sons good
fortune reached Wilmington, Mr.. and
Mrs. Smith have been the recipients OF
many concentrations.
