Four Hearts Eager to Beat
 As One But Way Is Blocked
Especial lu The Empire)

WRANGELL, Alaska, Dec. H. Wrangell is in a sad plight today with four hearts eager to beat as two and the road to hymen's altar temporarily barred. Two young couple sof legal age made their plans to be married this morning only to find that there is no one in Wrangell who is authorized to issue marriage licenses in the ab&nse of United States Commissioner Wm. G. Thomas, who has gone to Portland to spend Christmas. A message has been sent to Judge Robert w. Jen- nings at Ketchikan requesting his honor to authorize some citizen of Wrangell to issue the licenses.
 Both couples desire to go South on the steamer Jefferson and it has been suggested that they be married aboard the steamer by Capt Liv- ingston but that plan does not meet with approval as both couples desire to walk to the strains of the we'd ding march on the good old terra firma in the presence of relatives and friends.

WILSON ALLOWS
 ARMENIA LIBERAL. BOUNDARY, CLAIM
Presidents Recommendations Delivered to French For
 eign Office at Paris.

PARIS, Dec. I1.-President Will sons recommendations concerning the boundaries of Armenia were de- livered to the French Foreign Office through the American Embassy today for transmission to the Council of the League of Nations, which recent ly named him mediator in Armenia between the warning Turkish Nation alists and Armenians.
 The recommendations make an ex- tremely long note, printed in book form with the Presidents signature attached. and accompanied by thick book of maps.
 Impression in official quarters is that the President has allowed Ar menia very liberal borders.
 Whether tine recommendations ever will be put into effect, in the face of the present complicated situ- ation, admittedly is matter hazard ous of prediction. Latest dispatches regarding the situation in the Near East are disquieting. li
 The Russian Bolsheviki, who re. gently landed an army at Trebizond on the southern shores of the Black Sea. are reported to have captured Erivan and set up a Soviet Republic in Armenia, which. 1t is said, has gained sway over the entire country. Constantinople sadvices yesterday re ported peace signed between the Tur- kifl Nationalsts and Armenians and while details so far are lacking, 1t is supposed here that the Bolsheviki were instrumental in bringing about the cessation of hostilities and prob ably dominate the situation.

 Formal Invitation
 To Return. SITUATION COMPLICATED Allies Stand Causes Greek Cabinet to Request
 Waiver of Claims.
SITUATION COMPLICATED

LUCERNE. Switzerland, Dec. II. Former King Constantine oa Greece today received official notifi- cation of the result of a plebiscite throughout Greece to determine the wishes of the Greek people regard ing his return in the shape of a formal invitation to reascend the throne made vacant by the recent death of King Alexander.
 Whether he will be permitted to accept the invitation remains to be seen. The Allied Supreme Council last week notified the Greek Govern ment that Constantine's return wouia mean withdrawal of Allied financial support of Greece and probably territorial reprisals.
 The new Greek cabinet, although chosen following the downfall of Premier Venizelos, who opposed Constantine, upon the understand ing that it would support Constan- tine, was thrown into a panic by the Allies note and endeavored to secure Constantines consent to waive his claims in favor of the Crown Prince. This Constantine re- fused to do, declaring that it would lead to revolution
 The former King was forced to abdicate during the world war upon representations of the Allies, who charged him with being pro-German in sympathy and actions. His return is opposed on the same ground
