ALLIES DECIDE FOR \
RUSSIANS To FLIGHT
OUT OWN Sal. VAT|O|I

LONDON, Dec. 13.-The allies APP
parently have settled the long-stand-
ing Russian question" by deciding
to let the Russians fight it, out
among themselves.
This decision, according to author
it2tive information tonight, was
reached at conference of Premier
Lloyd George, Premier Clemencealr
Foreign Minister Sciaolia and Amer
lean Ambassador Davis.
The report, as circulated in gov
eminent circles tonight, was that
the allied representatives while de
Gliding definitely to have no dealings
with the Bolsheviki, also had de-
termined to refuse further aid either
to General Denikine or Admiral
Kolchak, the principal anti-soviet
leaders.
No information was Forthcoming
as to whether the allies had decided
to abandon the Russian economic
blockade. While. on the face of it,
the conferences decision was strong
ly favorable to the Bolsheviki, it
was pointed out that should the al
lies continue to isolate soviet Rus
STA and at the same time keep open
10 private and neutral interests the
ports controlled by Denikine and
Kolchak, the Bolsheyi4d would Still
be at a. great disadvantage. .-.
Shortly. before the decision. of the
council Was learned, a Copenhagen
dispatch reported that the american

patch, that their dealings with him
would be limited to negotiations for

copied that the ministers had some
advance information as to the deci-
sion to be reached by allied rep
.resentatfVes in London.
Military Situation Stabilized
The military situation in Russia

bilized since the abortive attempt to

The conferences now under way, &
is apparent now, are intended to clear
away the loose ends left by the
peace conference in Paris. In fact
one British Official referred to them
as "a continuation of the peace con,
ference"
Many we'll Informed persons were
inclined to believe tonight that The
allied decision regarding Russia will
remove Immediately a cause for, con
siderable political unrest in Europe
an allied countries. The rtainty
of the allies policy toward Russia
engendered an, endless chain of fac
-tional pickering.
It is estimated that the money
spent by Uncle Sam on munitions
during the war would be sufficient
to rebuild New York City twice.

sumption of production in virtually
all fields and substantial restoration

sections today brought to the pubic
the greatest measure Of RELIEF since
the coal situation became acute. AT
some mines workers still expressed
dissatisfaction with the terms OF

led to ending the strike officially
and central Pennsylvania operators
also were displeased, but officials re-

next week.
Continuation Of the severe weather

Temperatures in the plains states.

discomfort resulting from depleted
coal stores and fuel restrictions. In
washington and Oregon record cold
weather prevailed and below zero
temperatures were reported from
Utah, Nebraska, Montana, Wyoming,

nesota. A strong north wind swept
into the southwest bringing a cold
wave that was expected to send Their
mometers to 10 degrees below zero

In the plains states, west and
northwest, snow interfered with wire
and rail communication. Trans-con-
tinental trains were ten to twelve
hours late because of Wyoming biz
yards. In South Dakota and north
ern Nebraska a similar situation pre-
vailed.
Dissension from the strike settle
ment today seemed to be greatest in
Ohio and Illinois. Several thou
sand miners in Ohio voted to remain
on strike and number of locals
in Illinois maintained their express
ed determination to remain away
from the mines until more than the
agreed IA per cent wage increase was
forthcoming. Unto nleaders in both
states, however, were optimistic re-

GOVERNMENT REGARDS
STRIKE PRACTICALLY OVER

WASHINGTON, Dec. 13.-The ma
ton found partial relief today from
the rigid restrictions on coal con-
sumption enforced through the rail-
road administration as a result of
the fuel dearth caused by the strike
of soft coal miners. Regional direc-
tors of railroads over practically the
entire country have modified the re-
strictions by authority of Director
General Hines, who issued an order
leaving the enforcement of the regu'
lations in their discretion; g..
Where local conditions permitted
the directors after receiving the or
der, revoked the restrictions on coal
and gave merchants an opportunity
to reap the harvest of the heavy
Christmas trade. Some anxiety HAD
been felt among retailers over the
limitations of business hours and in
dustrial plants were facing heavy
losses by enforced shutdowns.
The order of the director general
was taken as an indication that the
government regarded the strike as
practically settled and that soon coal
would be pouring from the mines
In normal volume.

Sentiment Beginning to Crystallze
Among Main Street Merchants
for Everyreens on White
Way Poles.
HAVE TRADE WEEK, TOO
Some of tho Local Business Men suq-
oest Having Ono the Second
Week In December This
Year.

Why not decorate the white way
poles with ropes of evergreen
This Is the question that lot Of
Main street people are asking these
days, and many of them who have
not previously been keen for such a
display Of Christmas decorations are
favoring something of the kind this
year. as a sort of celebration.
THE white way poles decorated in
evergreen ropes and with loops of
rope between the poles would look
mighty fine and would well be worth
the small item of expense to the mer-
chants" one Of the local merchants
said today. 1--WE could put strings of
the evergreen around the poles and
could loop from pole to pole, if we
thought best Keokuk has never done
this, but other cities have, and it has
added greatly to the holiday shopping
spirit"
1t has been suggested that the Sec
ond week in December could be made
a trade week by the merchants, at
which time it would be planned to
push all of the holiday buying. This
would give one full week, and part Of
another before Christmas and would
help both the buyers and the shop
people. If this trade week plan is
carried through, the decoration
scheme for the white way poles could
be most effectively worked in to the
general shopping scheme.
sKeokuk stores already are putting
their holiday lines in their windows.

Look young! Nobody can tell If you
use Grandm others simple recipe
of Sage Tea and Sulphur.

Almost everyone knows that Sage
Tea and Sulphur, properly compound
ed, brings back the natural color and
lustre to the hair when faded, streak
ed or gray. Years ago the only way
to get this mixture was to make it
at home, which is mussy and trouble
some. Nowadays, by asking at any
drug store for "Wyeth's Sage and Sui
phur Compound" you will get large
bottle of this famous old recipe, inn
proved by the addition OF other In
gradients, at a small cost.
Don't stay gray! Try 1t! No one
can possibly tell that you darkened
your hair, as it does it so naturally
and evenly. You dampen sponge
or soft brush with it and draw this
through your hair, taking one small
strand at time; by morning the
gray hair disappears, and after an
other application or two, your hair
becomes beautifully dark, glossy and
attractive.

Cheating Cheaters" is crook play.
That much the title tells even before
one learns that the Brocktons, an
apparently eminently respectable
family of three, with butler and a
music master in evidence, are in re-
atty thieves The Brocktons have
taken a house near the Palmers, who
are people of wealth and fashion, pos
sessed of large collection of valu-
able jewels. The Brocktons are de-
termined to make great haul, and
have laid their plans very, very care
fully.
Nan Carey, alias Ruth Brockton
has been sent abroad for the sole
purpose of coming back from Europe
on the same steamer with young Tom
Palmer. The elaborate plot succeeds
so admirably that not only do the
young people meet-they fall in love
with each other.
And so it comes about that the
Brocktons and the Palmers are
friends, and everything seems to play
into the hands of the crooks, especial
ly as Ruth is invited to visit with
the Palmers while Mr.. and Mrs.
Brockton are called away from home.
But here Mr.. MARGIN upsets not
only the calculations of the crooks,
but the audience as well 1t develops
that the Palmers are themselves
crooks, and have planned to rob the
Brocktons, whom they thought re-
spectacle and rich, just at the time
that the Brocktons were going after
the Palmer jewels.
The surprise at mutual discovery
Of the "wickedness" of crooks is
