Important- Problems. - To Be Existence. ; Loudon, Deer 21. (Saturday.) The whole question of Russia is under serU ' us consideration by the allies, Reu- ', ter's agency learns from an authorita- ' tive i "source. No plans, however, has "been formulated-anii, nothing can be settled definitely-until there has. been an opportunity to Miscuss the matter with. President Wilson.' It is fully realized on all sides that "Hhe Russian problem is1 one of the most urgent and important that is to be dealt with and it is hoped that during President Wilson's stay in London it may be found possible to discuss it . with a view to prompt action. -. There have been numerous alarmist reports recently relative to the size of -the bolshevist army, but figures quoted so far are considered exagger- ations. The actual fighting strength is probably not much over 200,000 or 800,000. Discipline h&s been introduc- ed, but only by means that are far more tyrannical than anything known uiTder the old regime. In considering the present position, .it must be remembered that for some . months it has been quite impossible for the opponents ofi the soviet govern ment to express their opinions in pub- lie. All leaders of thought who care or the future of thteir country have been forced to flee, eltner to , Siberia lir to the south. In the latter region there are several anti-bolshevist gov ernments in existence. In the Kuban district, General Alex leff's volunteer army, which since his jdeath has been undervthe command of .yGsneral Denikine, is maintaining a Valiant fight against the Germans and bolshevists. A provisional government b.as been set up there and numbers among its members moderate politic ians such as Sergius Sazonoff, former embassador at London; M. Astroff and M. Stephanoff, social democratic lead ers, and others identified with that party. Support has been given by the ' moderate social revolutionaries. The allies are in touch with this govern ment which possesses a thoroughly efficient army pf at least 100,000 men and a British military mission has been sent to inquire into the military position there. In the Don district fs another anti bolshevist government. Here Gener al Krasnoff's army is operating under the political control of M. Harlamoff, a moderate social democrat. This gov ernment is in . close association with the Kuban government and both work with ,the provisional government in the Crimea, with which they are in close agreement. In the Ukraine the situation is very complicated. , f There is every reason to hope that the policy followed by the allies will promote unity between' these various governments in southern Russia, all of which repudiate tyranny and bol sheyism and whose one object Is' the restoration of order in the- country. A late and satisfactory development has been a steady flow of eminent and loyal Russians of all parties in the direction of London and Paris for the purpose of setting up an organization to deal with the, bolshevist problem and be at hand during the peace con ference. Prince Lvoff with Baron Korff, vice governor of Finland, left London today for Paris. Count Koko.vtzofC, another Kridely known Russian, leaves for France tomorrow. While these Rus sian leaders have been in London they Siave exchanged views with leading - British statesmen. Peter Struve, Rus sia's leading economist, is reported to have escaped - from Russia and to be Jn Finland. It is said he is on his way "Jiere. It is also reported that M. Hav inkoff, who has been thought tobe in China, 'is now on his way to Eu rope. JfEW CONSTITUTION OF GERMANY IS DISCUSSED "President Would Have Powers Midway Between Those Of American Presi dent and British King. Amsterdam, Dec. 22 The Dusseldorf ,Nachrichten says that the conference held at Berlin to discuss the new con stitution of Germany agreed upon the following fundamentals: An elected president, to be head of the government with powers midway between those of the president' of the United States and the king of Eng--IJand; parliamentary principles to gov ern the president in forming a cab inet which, will be assisted by dele gates of the federal republic to the so-called statenhaus which corres ponds to the American senate; the statenhaus, however, must not inter fere with the independence of the in . dividual republics which will number . 14 or 15. The participants in the conference include Hugo Preuss, state secretary of the interior; Prof.-Peters, Prof. Ma'x Weber, of the University of Hidel burg, and the Austrian Minister Hart znan, all well known authorities on constitutional law. PRESIDENT WILSON SEES WOUNDED IN HOSPITAL (Continued from Page One) rfiere were genuine smiles of apprecia tion. Some of the wounded, were introduc ed by the names the doctors and nur ses have given them. There were "Texas Red," "Tennessee Sly," and "Sunny Sam." The last named was introduced as the sunniest boy in the hospital. r The president saw one lad who came to the hospital 18 month's ago with half of his face, shot away. His Btory was almost too terrible o repeat, but the president wanted to hear. So the -doctors told it "to him. The boy entered the hospital with so little of bis face remaining that, his eyes were all that are now shown in tne plaster cast which begins his' re cord. For a year he took his food through a tube. Now by addition of one of his own ribs. m bit of shinbone and .teeth from a soldier less fortunate ; and some scraps 'and odds and. ends he has a face again.,.

British Publisher Thinks President's Trip Will -Do- Immense;' Good -Is Heartily in Favor of a . League Of Nations. - Paris, Dec. 21.-i(Saturday.) Lord Northcliffs, chairman of the London headquarters of the British mission to the United States and England's great est published, tonight gave a reception in honor of American newspaper corre spondents in Par; It was at this func tion that American writers received an invitation to be the guests of the Brit ish government) during 'President Wil son's -visit to England. Lord Jforthcliff e said the gathering of American newspaper men in -Paris was the greatest ever seen in any Euro pean country, and he was sure their visit would have great influence on the relations between the American and European continents. President Wilson, Lord Northcliffe added, would have the greatest wel come ever given a ruler when he goes to England. The speaker referred to the propos ed league of nations, which he said some people had regarded as something pretty to read ' about, but practically impossible of attainment. He gave it as his belief that this was the most important of the fourteen points of President Wilson, and said he was hopeful that means would be found to make it practical. President Wilson, Lord Northclifle said, was a man of infinite courage and had not hesitated to break all American traditions in entering into the war,.t He said he was glad the president was going- outside London and into England to Manchester, for instance, where the people had suffered most from the American civil war because they were dependent upon the supply of Ameri can cotton, but yet had remained con stant in their friendship to the north. There the president would see the real England, for London was no more Eng land than Tew York was America. The speaker, concluded hy saying he was certain the president's visit would do immense good. RESERVE OFFICERS TO TRAIN AT COLLEGES Abont Three' Hundred Units Will Be Established at as Many Schools By War Department. Washington, Dec. 22 About 300 units o the reserve officers' training corps, created by the national defense act of 1916, will be established immediately at as many colleges and schools, said an announcement today by the war de partment. During the war this- or-, ganization from which it was developed to create a forcef of at least 5.000 of ficers for reservei duty, was abandoned in favor of the students' army training corps', demobilization of which has reached an advanced stage; New regulations are being prepared to govern the reserve oflicers' training corps, so as to permit units to special ize in "training officer material for the various corps of the army, such as ar tillery, engineer, signal corps, ord nance, air service and medical corps, instead of the uniform training for in fantry, which was the rule before the war. A total of 115 reserve officers' train ing corps units had deen organized be fore the war. One hundred of the in stitutions included in the students' army training corps have re-established their reserve units, taking over the equipment they had on hand. In, addi tion 200 other schools or colleges have signified their Intention to share in the reserve training work. A special committee has been crea ted . in the war plans division of the general staff to administer to reserve ojcers' training corps which as before will consist of junior units at the High schools as well as the senior units at the colleges.

(By the Associated Press) The allied maritime council de cided today that its new flag would be hoisted for the first time on Austrian merchantmen in ' the Adriatic beside the Italian flag. Dr. Silvio Crespi, min ister of food; discussing the action of the council, said: ' . "The new flag consists of three hori zontal stripes, with top and bottom white and .centefc blue. "This tonnage in the Adriatic will be used chiefly for relief work. . There are also a hundred thousand tons of Austrian merchant ships in Spanish' ports which will be treated like those in the Adriatic. Half of these ships will probably be -entrusted to Spain and half to Italy provision ally. "Thirty thousand more tons of Aus trian merchantmen in the Black Sea will also be taken over by Italy, while an additional 30,000 tons In various northern, European-ports will 'be di vided between England and France. "The same rule Is jto ibe applied to 2,500,000 ton of German merchantmen spread, throughout the world. All these enemy merchant-men ultimately will be divided between the allied pow er alid the United States in a ratio which wi Jl be decided by the peace conference." 7 " - . ' ' In interallied circles the decision of the maritime council la considered one of the greatest importance as it is the first step "toward international control of shipping -ftnd-freights,-and in some circles is regarded : even "--as- the begin ning of the foundation of . league of nations as it gives to the world a hew flag of the allied maritime council to be flown alongside that of each of the aiia vuntrles. y - r - -, HELPS BAND IN HIS BUSINESS Strong and Well Since She Took Tanlae Suffered For Years, She Says. "Ever since Tanlao put an end to my troubles I feel so well and strong that I not only do all my own house work, but help toy husband at the. store besides," said Mrs. James Williams, wife of a well known grocer and mar ketman, who lives at 5667 Metropolitan Ave., Dallas, Tex. , .. ' "For several years' she continued, "I was troubled with severe attacks of Indigestion, and about three months ago I had a spell that was so much worse than anything I had ever ex perienced before that It really alarm ed me. My stomach would bloat up with gas, that pressed so on my heart I could hardly get. my breath, and thought I would smother to death. My. head ached like it would split, I be came so nervous I could "hardly sleep, and In the mornings I would feel so weak and fagged out that it was all I could do to get up and dress." "I had taken all sorts of .medicines and treatments without getting any benefits, but when several of my friends praised Tanlao to me so highly I decided- to. try it. WelL it proved to be just what I needed; for I began to feel better right off. I Improved so fast that I could hardly realize it and am. now eating anything I want and have no' trouble at all with gas and indiges tion. Those headaches are gone, I sleep like a child and get up in the morning feeling fine. I am picking up right along, and have already gained sev eral pounds. "My confidence In Tanlao la so great that I am now telling all my friends about the good it has done me." Tanlac is sold in Wilmington by R. R. Bellamy -and leading druggists everywhere.

(Correspon dence of the Associated Press.) -Romance was intermingled with tragedy in' the: trying days, when the foreign colonies were attempting to feet per mission to leave -Russia. Arrests, searches and threats of execution were relieved by marriages between men of the entente powers and Russian wo meiii " v - v f .The bolshevik government would not grant Russian citizens permits to go abroad. Consequently foreign men who hoped to leave Russia shortly oould not hope to sea their sweet hearts' for an indeftnate period, pos sibly never, if they left them in starv ing, disrupted Russia, where food is denied to persons not regarded as "class-conscious workmen" and all per sons not in sympathy with bolshevism are dispossessed. Many officials of the French and British colonies married In the last trying days of their stay in Moscow and Petrograd. but the wedding of Captain W. L. Hicks, military aide to Bruce Lockharf, the British diplomatic representative in Moscow, was. accom plished in the face of greater obstacles perhaps, than those of other entente citizens who managed to marry be tween jail sentences and searches. Captain Hicks was one of the French and English officials who were held as prisoners ,in the American consulate general at Moscow. He was engaged to marry Madame Melinina but dared not leave the American premises to marry" her. Most of his official associ ates were in prisons charged with contra-revolutionary -activity and in danger of execution. Russian priests refused to perform the ceremony in the American consulate, as the orthodox church requires that marriages be celebrated in a church. Major Allen Wardwell, of the Am erican Red Cross, who was looking after the Interests of foreign prisoners, interceded with Bolshevik' officials, but Peters, the head of the commission for the supression of contra-revolution, was firm in his refusal to grant Capt ain Hicks Immunity if he left the Am erican property and walked into the Russian church which stood in an ad Joining court. When the hour for the departure of the British officials from Moscow approached the situation be came 'desperate. Finally one. of the Lettish women who was guarding Captain Hicks be came interested in his plight and tele phoned to Peters, addressing him in the Lettish tongue. Her appeal was heeded. She assumed responsibility for the delivery of the English officer at the train which was to carry him out of Russia. A priest was hastily en gaged and the party stopped in an orthodox church on the way to the station, where the ceremony was per formed just half an hour before the bride and groom started for England.
