At Gates of Disorganized Russia

What stands in Germany's way is
not France or England. which are so
far off. Germany is at the gates of
disorganized Russia. and once let her
combine with the bolsheviki and reor-
ganize RuSSia-and she will have the
leisure TO do it in peace time-she
will dominate the world. A strong
Poland alone can block this plan.
From time immemorial it has been
the task OF Poland to protect civiliza-
ton from the hordes of Asia Organ
lied by Germany they would be
machine to crush democratic civiliza-
ton. This Germany would do by
breaking the standard of living OF
the western peoples. For the present
task we need a free nation to CO.
operate with Germany in influencing
the development of Russia.
''Danzig we must have, because with
out it our commerce would always be
at the mercy of Germany. With Dam
zig we roust have the River Eistula,
which is navigable almost to Cracow.
1t is an artery which. with its tribu-
taries, gives life to the body of the
Polish nation.

Yale University, he fell in love Win MISS
Mary Crocker, older daughter of Charles
F. Crocker, of San Francisco, and great
heiress. At the time Harrison was great
favorite in New York and Washington
society, and he was already showing an
inclination for politics.
His meeting with the San Francisco
heiress and beauty almost changed his
whole career, for he wanted to drop col
lege and marry her at once. Miss Crocker
was living with her aunt, Mrs. Charles B.
Alexander, of New York. She had num-
Der of suitors AMI could have married any
one Of several millionaires but her love
for young Harrison was too deep to with
stand. And he was ardently in love with
her.
She agreed to an immediate marriage,
but on the condition that afterward he
return to Yale and finish his course. And
so in June the heiress became the bride
of her young lover in her aunts beautiful
home at Tuxedo Park. They were glor.
iousy happy for several years. Harrison
finished his college work and then they
settled in New York. where Mrs. Harrison
bought a splendid home on Fifth avenue
and entertained royalty. Two children
were born, Virginia and Barbara, and Har-
rison began to shine in political light.
In the Spring of 1905 Mrs. Harrison took
a country place on Long Island, and short
ly after opening the house for the Sum-
mer she was killed In an automobile acct
dent while journeying to her home. The
accident was a terrible shock to Mr. Harri-
son and to society, for this was practically
the first motor tragedy to touch fashion
able society.
Mrs. Harrison's fortune was divided be-
tween her husband and her two children,
each OF the latter receiving about two
million dollars. These funds, by the way,
have greatly increased under their fathers
trusteeship. Six months after Mrs. Harri-
sons death Mr.. Harrison went to Cuba,
and there met a most charming lady who
was living apart from her husband, DR..
Rowland Cox, Jr. Mrs. Cox was the
daughter of the Henry l. Judsons of Brook
Ign, and her marriage, Just five years pre-
viously, to the young doctor had been Q
most brilliant social event.
Mr.. Harrison appeared on the scene in
CUBA at moment when Mrs. Cox was
bitterly unhappy and ready to sue for
divorce She was very beautiful and had

much marital experience. He admits forty

years old My mother also thinks 1t IS
wrong to marry a man who Is divorced.
I think It is better to be divorced half a
dozen times than to live with some one
one hates or is unhappy with. We shall
certainly be married in May
Governor Harrison, who is now in this
country on a vacation, is likewise positive
that the marriage will take place. He is
as impatient as his child fiancee to have
the court hurry his divorce to a finality
and smilingly discounts the Wrentmores'
objections.
as Mrs. Wrentmore realizes how deeply in
earnest we are she will relent. The Dean
is a fine man and always agrees with his
wife, so in the end we are bound to be
happy" is the way the Governor explains
things to his friends in New York and
Washington.
In looking back Manila now realizes how
poetic and altogether romantic the Gov
ernor's latest courtship has been. No set
ting could be more beautiful than the
tropic background of this corner of the
Orient There are good roads for motor
ing, and Miss Wrentmore has driven her
own roadster for a year or two. Last
Summer the Governor usually occupied
the company seat
But large part of the courtship was
put through on horseback. There are won
derful bride paths on the outskirts of
Manila and off in the hills, where the
Wrentmores have a charming bungalow

ish figure eminently fitted for just such q
costume.
In way, however, we are getting bit
ahead of our story, for this love affair, like
all others, had real beginning. Back in
the Summer of 1914 the Governor and his
handsome wife gave garden party.
Every one in Manila was hidden to the
Governors palace" and among the guests
were the Wrentmores, but recently come

at her disposal, and hardly an evening
passed which did not see them cantering
slowly into the town from some pictur-
esque backwoods trail. Very often the
Governors two daughters made up four

ventional, and, anyway, she assumed, like
all Manila, that Betty was friend of the
two daughters rather than of the father.
Every one now knows that 1t was love

the long sailing trips along quiet wooded
rivers, the jolly picnics along the shore
and into the fascinatingly grim interior
were blissful little, journeys with the
world of love. Babs and Virginia were,

frequent dances with both her husband
and the Governor.
Suddenly she dropped from sight, and
the next thing Manila heard that Mrs.
Stella Dunn Kimberly was getting a d.
vorce from Captain Kimberly because she
was tired Of being poor.
When last May, Mrs. Harrison received
her interlocutory decree, gossip immedi-
ately recalled the name and history of
Mrs. Kimberly. With the passing Of time,
however, since then the gossip died away,
because Governor Harrison did not appear
In Mrs. Kimberly's life at all.
And now we find Miss Wrentmore's
scrapbook becoming exceedingly personal!

with masses Of chestnut curls, big blue
eyes and feet that simply could not keep
still. Mrs. Harrison, wife Of the Governor
General, took fancy to the child and
made it point to present her to the
Governor.
All that Summer Betty followed the Gov.
ernor about, adoring him at a distance.
No one Of course, paid any attention to
the child and she roamed at will through
the palace grounds and in and out of
the house. No one knew that the blue
eyed youngster was building a wonderful

first lady Of Manila, for rumor has 1t that
Harrison is eager to resign his post, but
she will, at least, achieve worthwhile
social position. The two Harrison girls,
who are spending the Winter with their
wealthy Crocker relatives, are her firm
friends, and she will. undoubtedly have
them in her household AS each girl has
fortune of about three millions to-day
her position as their stepmother will be
unique.
But all this awaits on the final divorce

should be handed down some time in
May.

Mrs. Harrison liked
having Betty around
because she was
such a good play
mate for her two
step-children, Vir-
ginia and Barbara,
who were about
Betty's age. In the
Fall Betty was sent
back to the States to
a boarding school,
and her acquaintance
with the Governor
was forgotten by ev-
cry one. But not by
the child herself! A
large photograph of
her hero occupied a
corner of her dress

of her parents. And
now Betty began to
make a scrapbook of
clippings about her
hero. This became
almost a sacred tack,
but it had its unfor-
tunate side, for In
the course of time

trouble in the Har-
rison household, and
eventually all about

When September came Betty was
again shipped back to California to
complete her college course. She
went happily to her hero, and her
proudest possession was his frat
pin, the emblem of the Psi Epsilon
of Yale. Then too, she knew that
her hero was to make visit to the
United States within a few months.
Not being entirely blind to what
was going on, Mrs. Wrentmore was
glad to see her daughter sail away.

Due to her anxiety as a mother, Mrs

before the Governor, and when he told he
of his love for Betty, she firmly refused t.
countenance it.
Governor Harrison, however, who il
as determined as he is ardent in his
love affairs. took the matter in his own
hands, and told his most intimate friends
