GREATER SALISBURY'S BETTER MUSIC HOUSE Bull ITER ALP, SALISniRV, X. C, DSC. BOLSHEVIK ARMY IS BOBBING UP Reported That a Large Bolshevik i Army 1H Causing Some Alarm in RuttNia. ; A Charlotte. Observer speciul says: I-ondon, Dec. 17. Some news papers this afternoon are making a conspicuous feature of a "Bolshevik Army of Three Million Men," a dis patch from Christiana saying prom inent business men who have just re turnee from Russia declare the bol scyiki have nn army of nearly a million men already i3 considered surprising here, but there are no means of testing the accuracy of this report. i It is known the allied fleet is now established on the shores of the White and Black seas; that British warships ; tiro in the gulf of ftnland; that Grand Duke Nicholas is reported heading a crunter-revolutiun in the southeast; i that Petrograd is starving nnd the bolshevik government is about to uio.'e to Nijni Novgorod. Conditions in Pet'ograd are said here to be much woise tlian previous reports sug gested. j The Japanese are reported to have ' arrested a bolshevik leader in Gastrin Siberia who is reported to have been in possession of l.OilO pounds in weight of stolen gold bullion when , caught. Critical in Enthonia The situation in Esthontu is now -e ported critical, the IRussian bolsho . ists following the withdrawing of 'he Germans, plundering as they ad- ance. These maurauders are follow- d by crowds of Chinese armed with Miives and axes who entered Russin n l!lti and now follow trie bolshevik inuits everywhere. The only hope for the inhabitants appears to spring from the presence of a British squad ron at Reval, whero local bolsheviki ate very active, buing arms and ammunition from German soldiers, I The Germans arc spreading reports that the English arc-coming to take possession of the country, also 'Baltic provinces, where as the residents arc reported as regarding the English as their saviors from Anarchy. , An Omsk dispatch of December 3 ttutes (hat although the recent suc j cess crumpled the bolsheviki left wing, their center and permanent front in the vicinity of Kangur has : been heavily reinforced. There are ; indications that the bolsheviki intend to make a strong push towards Ekat jerinburgf. The bolsheviki have made la substantial advance on the Siberian I railway occupying Belebeef. The 'whole position in the Urals seems to ; depend upon the Czechs until Kol- chak :mi had time to mature his. i plans. The bolsheviki arc finding many j recruits among released Gerhian pris ; oners who otherwise would starve. The bolsheviki menace in Russia is I described by the correspondent as probably more serious now than at any time. The correspondent appeals for urgent allied sympathy and help for Kolebak from the troops actually available at Vladivostok. I Trouble at Odessa? A Constantinople dispatch reports that the allied warships' ability to control affairs in Odesfa is very lim ited, the town having Ibcen occupied , by the so-called army of General Pet 'lvura, who is the rival of General ' Skoropadaki, hetman of the Ukraine, j British warships have appeared off .important forts in the Black sea. and sea of Azorff, and also at Tro'bir.ond ;an iSamisdun, and everywhere they were earnestly prayed to remain, j The situation in Sehastopol threat ened to result seriously except for the influence of the allies. Eleven 1 thousand Germans already have been 'send away from the Crimea. These ; formely suppressed bolshevism, which is now reviving, although sub dued by the presence of a strong ! allied fleet there.

WOOL WILL L0NQ BE SCARCE Life ef a Pound of Valuable Product Has Been Shortened on Account of th War. "Even with pence It Is doubtful If Mir clothes will return to normal, In price or otherwise, until long after ;he war," writes Douglas Jnspersen Id Everybody's. "The necessity of re habilitating the millions of men In lilmkl Is n trendy a problem. This vast irinv to be reclothed will be a heavy rtniln npon the world's ulrcudy ex hausted wool and shoddy markets. Then, too, the need of depleted Ger many for wool and shoddy should fur : ther tend to Increase the shortage all 1 over the world. "Ever since the beginning of tho war yltoddy has been dltjnppenrlng from our midst 'at nn alarming rate, while ' the production of wool bus been en tirely Inadequate to the world's needs, "In normal times the life of n pound of wool In Its various Incnrimtlo'is ex 1 tends over a period of years. "But war, Urn most wusteful of all businesses, has changed t,he old order 1 of things. Both the virgin wool and the shoddy that went to make np lhnt . klinlil coat for Home soldier tire buried, i with Its wearer, somewbero 'over there' and will never return to do duty for us again. And so. In a great many lenses, the life of a pound f wool has . been suddenly . reduced from snnic ! where around six years to nn ninny months. Wool alim can never clothe tli world. It has shoddy Hint kept the world's clothing lll down for ' many a yenr, and until the shoddy xup ' ply Is normnl again we enn nil expect to hnve more or less trouble with our , clothes." IN SPANISH HALL OF FAME The Name of Espartero, Duke of Vlfc toria, Has Been Properly Ac corded High Position. Fifty years ago Queen Isabella was dethroned, and Spain threw otT the yoke of the Bourbons and Inmrerurtitfd ' a new order of things, looking at least to the establishment of a constitutional government, If not a government of the people. - Espartero, duke of Vlltorla, wns placed at the head of the state. IIu had occupied that position n two for mer occasions, lie aided In securlug tho succession of Isabella, and success fully led her armies In putting down the Carllsts. In tho Insurrection of 1840, caused by the law suppressing the freedom of speech lu the town coun cils, ERpnrtero become head of the government nnd was confirmed In thnt position by the eortes; nnd was ap pointed regent during the minority of the queen. He was deposed fb 1843 and bad, to fly to London for safety. In 1647 hft was, recalled to Spain aud by the revolution of 1854, which drove the Qneen Mother Chrlstlnla and Nar va ez from the country, he .was again placed at the head of the government, a position which he resigned In 1856. Espartero was born lo 1792. He was the son of a wheelwright, commenced life aa a common soldier la the Span ish army and gained bis honors and titles by his own ability as a soldier and statesman. White Light Best White light seems to be tho most comfortable for the eye. In tests of the effects of various lllumlnants C. H Ferree and J. Rand, as described to tho American Illuminating society, have used kerosene lamps and various Incandescent lamps and It appears from the results that the color of the light has a mailed effect on eye fatigue. With the white light df the tungsten lamp there was the least Io.h to the worker from need of resting the eyes. The fatigue was somewhat greater with the yellow light of the carbon lamp or kerosene lamp, nnd greatest of all with the tungsten lamp having a blue bulb. em Benefit From Poison -Gas. Cheinlgta are planning to use Inven tions devised to protect" soldiers from the poison gus of the Huns for the pro tection of Industrial workers In mines and factories. The absorbents used In gus masks may also serve as safe guards from foul gases which lire generated In certain Industrial process es. Likewise, some of the polsou gases that American chemists have devised In reprisal against German deviltry, It Is believed, can be used In the exter mination of vermin and also for the dis infection of fruit orchards from Insects and other blights, such a San Jose scale. Repopulation Problem. The relchstag Is concerned with problems which threaten the German birth rate. It Is recommended to get the worker away from the cities, where they can have small detached cottages In which light' and country air nnd nutritious food can be ob tained. This course would tend to In crease the number of births. It has been learned that about half of the muti lated soldiers are marrying women old er than themselves, a custom vnlch h pernicious frr repopulation. To check Infant mortality more children' clin ics will be established.

Bill took up lodgings in a palace, that glittered like a sheet of stoel;, ho drank beer from a golden chalice, and had a pie at every meal. His name was known from the Nyizas to the., farthest wast of snow; while I went on producing stanzas that brought me twenty cents a throw.
