RUSSIAN REFUGEES . TRADE JEWELSFOR
 TURKISH CRUMBS
Wife and Children of Wran- gels Staff Officers Exhaust Ships Larders and Fam
 inc Rules
By Associated Press

New York, December 25.-Two tun- ared children of the officers of Cen sral Wrangers staff, sons and daugh- rers of generals, colonels and captat1s, were among the 100000 Russian 'efu- gees brought to Constantinople aar5or by ships of the allied nations when the polsheviki broke down Wrangel's de- tense and overran the Crimea.
 Many of them were orphans their fathers having perished while fighting the bolsheviki. One was the daug lter of the minister of finance of the Nran- gel regime. All were nearly famished when the vessels on which they had taken refuge arrived here, for the ships larders had been exhausted.
 So hard pressed were all the refuS ees to obtain food that they threw dia- monds and weapons or any other val da- bles into the boats of traders from Con- stantinople in payment for anything eatable. A graphic story of their ar rival at Constantinople and how an American destroyer took the 200 chill dren of Wrangers officers off the refugee vessels and landed them at the Trachoma orphanage maintained oy the Near East relief is told in reports re- ceived by that organization in this city. It reads in part:
 The harbor is wonderful and sad sight, One hundred thousand Russians are on ships there, some of them lying, The best of the old Russian families are among these refugees, the men who fought for Wrangel crowded and sick and without food except what the relief people can get to them, and the

bread and water given to them by the French.
 Of course, natives are profite sring,
 and little boats go to the ships and the Russians drop diamonds, firearms nd other valuables to these traders in ex~ change for food. The people on these vessels represent the remains of an old aristocracy, with no country to take them though the French expect to sond many to Morocco.
 The children were packed with grown people like sardines on he tig ships coming from Crimea, and most Of them were sick from fatigue, lack of rourishment and lack of sleep. Miss Gunther and Miss Hastings (ralief workers), went to the ships on board a United States destroyer and 200 ehil- dren were tagged with the names of their fathers and mothers, and the fath- CTS occupation. Many said: Father died in Wrangefs army fighting for Russia. The destroyer brought the children to the landing of the Ira choma orphanage, which is located right on the Bosphorus. Ten mothers were taken with their very young nil dren and babies, and the other children ranged from 5 to 13 years.
 Most of them looked exactly like well-bred American children Some carried their dolls tightly in their arms and one little boy hugged teddy bear boy ef 12 carried a sick little ooy Cf IS years because he came from his town in Russia.

BRITISH INDUSTRY PLAN ID HARNESS
 ATLANTIC TIDES
Cheapest Power, By Biggest System Ever Devised, Will Run Virtually Whole h.
 dustry of South England
nY FLETCHER ALLEN

London, December 25.-fRecipro- cal News Service. J-En gland has only small proportion of the world reserve of coal Her superiority in coal production may pass from her in few years. But government experts and engineers have now devised q scheme which will harness the Atlantic tides and provide sufficient power to run practically all the industrial cen ters of the south of England at phe- nomenally small cost. It is to be done by throwing dam or barrage across the great estuary of the Severn, about 100 miles dis tant from London and 70 miles from Birmingham, and making the tides perform some useful industrial office. such a scheme, when 1t is in full work ing order will, it is estimated, save
 England about 4,000,000 tons of coal per annum, and provide electric power at the rate of less than 1 cent per
 unit. The main features of the plans of the ministry of transport are: concrete dam across the Severn estuary containing turbines driven by impounded tidal water and designed to provide 1000 horse power in a 10-
 hour day.
 A salt water lake at high eleva- ton, to which water would be forced through a tunnel 40 feet in diameter, cut through a solid mile of rock. This lake would be filled by pumps worked from the estuary dam during the high
 tides when there was reserve of power, so that when tides were not so high or the dam turbines not workioAs the fall of water from the reservoir would work subsidiary turbines and keep the power supply constant A level road across the Severn, which will save transport a 50-mile detour for all traffic eastward of Bristol and Newport
 Facilities for the duadruplication of railway lines between South Wales and | the west of England.
 I A locked basin of 27 square miles for 1 shipping purposes on the upper Severn, accommodating the largest ships. 1 The power plant at Niagara will be | dwarfed by the Severn proposal, for while the normal power will be 500,0o0 l horse power the peak load Is estimated 1 at 100000 horse power. Other water power systems at present in operation ] in the world are:
 ] Anal gamated Niagara Falls Power company, 3S5,500 horse power; Big
 Creek Development Pacific Light and Power company, 350,000; Ontario Power
 comp pany. 100000; Capdelia. River l F'lamisell, Spain, 150,000; Toronto
 Power company, 14s,ooo; Keokuk dam
 on the Mississippi, 10000; Kinloch-
 leven, Scotland, 30,660.
 In the Severn scheme there will be
 two power stations, the first at the
 dam across the estuary, within which
 1 will be the tide driven by turbines,
 the second st the lake in connection
 with an immense pumping and turbine
 power house on the banks of the ii k
 1 dal portion of theN Wye. A
 | The estimated cost of the scheme is
 [ 25,O00,000 pounds or approximately
 sS7, ,50O,00o, and will provide con-
 stant work for 25o,0o0 men for seven
 l years.
