Russian forces in which a French
contingent, which landed from trans

aided by a volunteer Russian army,
had been enabled to extend the
French zone on the water front to
over one third of the city, including
the business section. Hundreds Of
the opposing Russians still are hid

up a continuous fusilade. The extent
of the casualties and the situation
through out the city are uncertain.
Two days ago the Republicans an

French to land but evidently their
soldiers got beyond control when the
French landed this morning. The
French general, Bordus, Is in COM

President Wilson today received a
delegation from the national council
of the Evangelical Free Churches.
The President said:
Gentlemen, am much honored
by this beautiful address that you
have just read, and it is delightful
to feel the comradeship of spirit
which is indicated by a gathering
like this.
"You are quite right, Sir, in saying
that 1 do recognize the sanction of
religion in these times of perplexiry
with matters so large to settle that
no man can feel that his mind can
compass"

did not believe in Providence. 1t
would be maze without a clue. Un-
less there were some supreme evi-
dence we would despair OF the re-
suits Of human counsel.

athy that I acknowledge the spirit
and thank you for the generosity Of
your address.
Receives Delegation.
President Wilson at the American
embassy today received delegation
from the league of nations union. It
was headed by Viscount Grey form
er secretary for foreign. affairs and
it included the archbishop of Cam
terbury and Viscount Bryce, former
British ambassador to the United
States.
The President. in addressing the
delegation said: ],.
am much compliment
ed that you should come in person
to present this address and I have
been delighted and stipulated to find
the growing and prevailing interest in
the subject of the league OF nations.
not only growing interest merely.
but a growing purpose which am
sure will prevail and it is delightful
that members of the government
which brought this nation into the
war because OF the moral obligations
based upon treaty should be among
those who have brought me this
paper, because on the other side OF
the water we have greatly admired
the motives and subscribed to the
principles which actuated the gov
ernment OF Great Britain In obey
ing that moral dictate.
You have shown what we must
organize, namely, that same force
sIid sense OF ODllEdIlOui ana unless
we organize 1t the. thing that we do
now will not stand.
II feel that so strongly that it is
particularly cheering to know just
how strong and imperative the idea
has come. I thank you very much
indeed, IT has been q privilege to see
you personally.
II was just saying TO Lord Grey
that we had indirect knowledge of
each other that I am glad to identity
him feel as IL had met him long
ago and I had the pleasure OF match
ing minds with Mr.. Asquith yester-
day.
