ROMANCE AND TRAGEDY.
Were Mingled in the Trying Conditions
During Turmoil in Russia.

Copenhagen, Dec, % correspondence
Of the Associated Press Romance was
intermingled with tragedy in the trying
days when the foreign colonies were at
tempting to get permission to leave Rus
sia. Arrests, searches and threats of
execution were relieved by marriages be-
tween men of the entente powers and
Russian women.
The bolshevik government would not
grant Russian citizens permits to go
abroad. Consequently foreign men who
hoped to leave Russia shortly could not
hope to see their sweethearts for an in
definite period, possibly never, if they
left them in starving, disrupted Russia,
where food is denied to persons not re-
garded as 'class- conscious workmen" and
all persons not in sympathy with bolshe-
yism are dispossessed.
Many officials of the French and Brit
ish colonies married in the last trying
days OF their stay in Moscow and Petro-
grad, but the wedding of Captain w. l..
Hicks, military aide to Bruce Lock
hart, the British diplomatic representa-
tive in Moscow, was accomplished in the
face OF greater obstacles perhaps, than
those of other entente citizens who man
aged to marry between Jail sentences and
searches.
Captain Hicks was one of the French
and English officials who were held as
prisoners in the American consulate gen
eral 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 -revolu
tionary activity and in danger of execu-
ton. Russian priests refused to per-
form the ceremony in the American con
sulate, as the orthodox church requires
that marriages be celebrated in church.
Major Allen Wardwel of the American
Red Cross, who was looking after the in
terests of foreign prisoners, interceded
with bolshevik officials, but Peters, the
head of the commission for the suppress
sion of contra reyolution, was firm in
his refusal to grant Captain Hicks inn
munity if he left the American property
and walked into the Russian church,
which stood in an adjoining court. When
the hour for the departure of the Brit
ish officials from Moscow approached,
the situation became desperate.
Finally one Of the Lettish women who
was guarding Captain Hicks, became in
terested in his plight and telephonel
to Peters, addressing him in the Lettish
tongue Her appeal was needed. She as
sumed responsibility for the delivery Of
the English officer at the train which
was to carry him out Of Russia. A priest
was hastily engaged and the party
stopped in an orthodox church on the
way to the station, where the ceremony
was performed just half an hour before
the bride and groom started for Eng
land.

BELLIGERENT TALK

Republic of Ukraine Claimed

Of Poland

Vienna, Dec 23.-PoIand is anxious to

Ukraine.
Regarding the southeastern frontier OF
Poland, the minister says the situation Is
very serious. He continues:
THE republic of Ukraine has forced
the Poles to fight for their rights in Lem
burg and the whole of eastern Galicia
and diplomatic discussions with Ukraine
are at present impossible. 1t win be a
question of arms until the matter is set
tied. Poland is ready to defend this part
of her territory, where Poles are in the

IN DIRE NEED.
The Cradle of White Civilization Is
Threatened

Declaring that he believed the Amer
lean people could not and would not per-
nit the cradle of the white mans civil
ization to perish, G. V. Vickery, secretary
of the American committee for relief in
the near East formerly Armenian and
Syrian relief, expressed confidence that
the committees need of $30000000 for
relief work among the poverty stricken
and starving Armenians and others in
the near East would be fully realized and
the nations quota would be subscribed
Mr.. Vickery pointed out the dire need
of orphanages for the children of Arme-
mia and other sections Of the Ottoman
empire, orphaned by the wholesale muir
der of their parents by the Turks. by cit
ing one Of the many touching incidents
that come to the committee from Amer
ican missionaries and its relief workers
in the near East. He emphasized that
$4,000000 of the $30,000,000 to be raised
in this country during the week of Jan.
II to 10 will be devoted to the building
of orphanages for the stricken children.
The incident cited by Mr.. Vickery to
stress the need for orphanages follows:
Everybody is dead but us" sobbed
two little brothers, when they were dis
covered living alone in a dugout. Go,
run for your. lives and God bless you,
was the warning prayer of their sister
when she sent them away while she re-
manned behind with their dying mother
For two weeks, the little brothers had
fled from the Turks as their sister babe
them, hiding by day and running by
night. At last they reached the dugout
which had been made by soldiers of one
of the armies fighting in that country
and there the little boys were found by a
passing American missionary.
All the food they had had during their
flight was roots, berries and grass. In a
pitiable condition, they were taken to an
orphanage, established by the American
committee for Armenian and Syrian relief
from funds contributed by the American
people. Here they are being cared for,
with 800 other child refugees.

NEW YORK HAS
SPEED-UP FINISH
In Attempt to Enroll as Many Red Cross
Memberships as a Year
Ago.

New York, Dec. 23-In a speed up fin
ish that amounted to a good -natured
"hold-up" thousands of Red Cross work
ers to-day gave every New Yorker an
opportunity to subscribe and no excuse
for not wearing 1919 membership but
ton.
Between 10000 and $4,000 men and
women redoubled their efforts to-day to
bring the total past the mark set last
year.
Fifteen thousand workers in the house
toulouse division started early to can
vass and recanvass every fiat, tenement,
apartment house and private house in
the greater city for new members. An
equal number Of men and women police
reserves carried on the work in streets
and restaurants, while the uniformed
police force directed their campaign
against automobiles and pedestrians.

STARS AND STRIPES CONSPICUOUS
Next to the Union Jack They Are the
Most Numerous in London.

London, Dec. % Correspondence Of
the Associated Press If there is not
friendly feeling twoard the United States
in England the flags of London speak un-
truthfully. There are millions of flags.
Where all of them come from is a mys-
terry. They simply appeared from every
where and nowhere, like barrage OF col
or on the day when the armistice was
signed. No coronation or royal jubilee
has seen such marvel of cloth
Hardly a house, however small and
humble, in the whole more than 20-mile
radius of the largest city in the world
was without its decorations. And the
Stars and Stripes were more conspicuous
than any flag except the Union Jack.
Wherever two flags hung together the
American emblem was one of them. The
French flag ranked next, but only re-
spectacle third Walking through the
streets the American colors ssluted the
eye everywhere. Big ones, large enough
to hide an ordinary house, hung in front
of hotels, department stores and fac
tories. Very many people, of the hun
dreds of thousands who tied flags to
their hats and coats and umbrellas, even
TO their dogs, sported the Stars and
Stripes They we're particularly popular
with the girls, but workmen, old ladies
and British soldiers wore them. This
seems to spell appreciation.
Some of the sadder newspapers which
specialize in deploring, incurred bitterly
over the armistice celebration in Trafal-
gar square on Nov. r. Property was

came to hand Huge signboards around
the Nelson monument appealing to citi-
zens to buy war bonds were the first to
feed the flames. Then a wooden hut,
the property of the Y. M. G. A., was
dragged to the pyre. Next came half a
dozen German cannon, camouf1aged with
green purple and yellow, rushed up with
shoutings from st. James park close by.
There were many policemen about but
they were helpless. The soldiers picked
them up and thrust them off the scene.
Then the fire engines came out and
turned streams on the blaze. The Aus
tralians turned the hose on the aston
ished firemen and swept them off their
feet with their own ammunition.

sometimes a question about the col
ored troops reaches the women in
charge of the Hostess House for
white troops.
Last week a negro woman stopped
an officer and asked where her hus-
Bnd could be found The staG col
onel was amused at the ignorsNce
of the woman, and apparently enjoy
ed her question so much that he re-
ferred her to the Hostess in charge
OF the House for white soldiers.
The hostess observed the meeting
from a windo~, and was mildly cur
ious as to why the colonel should
have referred the negro to her rsth-
er than sent her to the house pro-
vfded for her own color. She did
not long remain unenhghtened. The
negro woman said. Miss de Kurnel
