rclaNcd TO California. where her per
ents are spending the winter that
she and Cohen were married two
weeks ago in Greenwich Village, New

the news will cut short the vacation
OF her parents and that they Will re-
turn at once.
Priscilla has been series OF sensa-
tons ever since she graduated into
the detutante and sub-deb class.
Once she went on the stage. but her
father snatched her from the foot
lights. Then she caused society to
gasp by accepting position in a
Denver department store.
Meanwhile Lester Cohen. the champ
ion of the many poets and near-poets
who inhabit the Din Pickle Club. that
resort of long haired writers. short
haired pianists and sandaled sculptor
csses and sculptors, had risen out
of the ordinary by tuning his Tyre to
sing alphabetically OF the cruel de-
portation of Emma Goldman. Aside
from this effort little is known of
him. His wife Priscilla announces
that she will return TO the stage.

WASHINGTON
DAYBY DAY
(From Our Special Correspondent

Washington, Aug. 1.-THE Gazette
correspondent learned on the highest
authority today that decision of the
Department of Justice on the neceS-
sity of formal proclamation by the
President Of q state Of peace will.
Germany is being he!d up because of
the desire of Secretary of State
Hughes to accomplish by formal
treaty with Germany everything that
could be done by a proclamation Of
peace.
Thirtv-five days have now elapsed
since the Department of Justice was
asked by the President whether 4
peace proclamation was necessary.
1t is forty days since the President
signed the peace resolution of Con-
grcsa and ~ days since the resolu-
tior was enacted.
But when Attorney General Daugh-
erty was ready to make his report to
the White House, he was notified Of
the negotiations which had been start
ed by the Secretary of State for an
entirely new treaty with Germany
and of the opinion of Secretary
Hughes that a peace proclamation
would be entirely superfluous if the
treaty could be consummated. For this
reason announcement of the Attorn-
ey Generals decision is being held
up, although it has been ready for the
President for some days.

Soviet Representative Of
fers Guarantee To Z. S.
Official.
SHEDS PRISON GARB
Capt. Fitzpatrick Shows Greatest Ell
fects of Imprisonment-Good Feel
ing OF Conference

Riga. Lctvia, aug. 11,--A guar
antee that al Americans remaining
in Russia vii! be given an oppor-
tunity to leave that country if they
desired was offered today by Maxim
I.itnivoff, Soviet representative, at
conference held yesterday after
noon with Walter L. Brown, Euro
pean directo. of the American Re
lief Administration, over the. qu!cs-
ton of American relief for famine
stricken Russia.
This offer was made after the
American representative had IN
ouired what the Soviet Govern
ment's intentions were regarding the
freeing Of the Americans in Russia,
other than six men of American
nationality who have just been re.
leased from Soviet confinement and
reached Reval, Esthonia. today.
1t was understood that Director
Brown had made it a condition OF
opening the negotia tions for relief
that all Americans in Russia be
given a chance to leave that coun-
try.
the guarantee rests with Fcroertt
Hoover, Secretary of Commerce ana
head of the American Relief Ad-
ministration, who is expected 20 act
in concurrence with the American
State Department.
Mn. Brown, in informing Lltvl-
noff that the United States was
ready to go ahead with relief meas
ures f Ill Americans in Russia were
released. added:
COZ course. we would not lie up
the conference for several months
while some lone American IN Siber-
ia was deciding whether or not ne
wanted TO go home. -.
Mr.. Brown said there was suite,
lent food, probably enough to teeed
1000. 900 children for one. month,
now in the American Reiiet AsSo7
ciation headquarters in Danzig ,andi
Hamburg and ships ready to load
it. and that it could be laid down
in Petroerad, Riga or Reval within
fortnight. He added that the IN
ferior transport situation was so
complicated, however, that he was
unable 10 say when the food could
reach the actual starving people.
The conference was mraked by
good feeling, though Mr.. Brown
made it extremely plain to L'tvInotf
that Mr. Hoovers note concerning
the release of Americans in Russia
meant those outside as we'll as those
inside prison. Litvinoff guaranteed
that any American desiring . 90 so
could leave Russia.
After The conference NJ. Florinsky'
who was Russian Vice Consul IN
New York n the days of the En-
pire. but who is now Livinoff's sec,
retarv, expressed the opinion that
the entire matter of relief would
be successfully settled on Friday

Next Year In Bedford.

Charlottesville, Va, Aug. l1.-Res-
olutions vigorously protesting against
the removal of the consolidated State
Medical School to Richmond were
passed by the Virginia State Reunion
Association of the B. p 0. Elks, at its
closing business meeting here this
morning.
The resolutions were introduced by
Fred w. Harper, of Lynchburg, for
mer exalted ruler of the national dele
gates representing some 10000 mem
bers of their order and citizens of the
Commonwealth without dissenting
vote.
During the day number OF the
delegates paid a visit to the university
and were shown around the campus
and through the hospital.
Base Hospital No. II, organized and
recruited at the University OF Vlr-
cinia at the beginning of the war, was
equipped and financed by the Elks.
The unit made splendid record b:
its services in France.
"Whereas the Virginia State Re-
union Association of the 3. ?. Q. Elks
comprises the subordinate lodges of
the Order of Elks in State and
represents a membership of nearly
10000 loyal and patriotic Americans
and citizens of Virginia, and
"Whereas the association and its
membership in Virginia are not only
interested in all that concerns the
welfare of the State and its institu-
tions, but feel a peculiar interest in
the medical school of the University
of Virginia, whose splendid Base Hos
pital Unit. No. 41, which made such a
magnificent record in the word war,
was equipped and financed by the
Order of Elks, and
"Whereas in the opinion of the
association it would be most unwise
to disrupt the unity of the university
organization by removing any of its
schools from the seat of the university
itself.
"Now, therefore, be it resolved by
the Virginia State Reunion Assocla-
tion of the B. p 0. Elks, in annual
