BOARD PESIDENT - ELECT HARDING S SPECIAL TRAIN, Nov. Starting for a month's vacation trip to southern Texas and Panama, President elect Harding today laid aside the but cares of the presidential campaign for an interim of real rest and recreation be fore he takes up seriously the resDonsl- v J. bilities of his coming administration. -Although his mind already is at work upon the vreliminary details of his first administration policy, a plan for a, new association of nations, Mr. Harding does not propose to let the task interfere with his outing. He has asked several lead ing statesmen to prepare their views on the subject for him, but his conference to receive advice will not take puce until after he returns to Marion about De cember 6. The president-elect has made it knownJ that complication of opinions on the as sociation of nations proposal will be1 his that compilation of opinions on the as first concern in preparing for his responsibilities at Washington taking precedence even over his choice of a cab inet. Cabinet appointments, he has an nounced, will not be given any thought at all during his vacation.

He was born in England, the son of gypsies. By hard work he educated himself and overcame handicaps that would have defeated the average man, until he became "ono of the finest exponents of the possibilities of Anglo-Saxon speech since the days of John Bright," according to one of the great London dailies. He has preached to hunfds of thousands and his con verts have been innumerable. Gypsy Smith, Jr., has been called "a chip off the old block" and possesses, to a marked degree, the power of spirit and speech that characterized his father. Without ostentation or any of the sensa tional methods of evangelism, he deliv ers, in a calm, dignified and effective manner, the fundamentals of th'e plain, pure, simple Gosptd of Jesus Christ. Mr. Smith greatly prefers to conduct meet ings in which all the churchy ff the pity are united, but it was impossible, on short notice, to arrange such a meeting in Gastonia at this time.

Snow has been falling over the Tauridian plains, north of the slender isthmus connecting Crimea to the mainland of Russia, and it has tended to retard the movement of bolshevik cannon and supply trains being brought up from the Dneiper river to force a passage south of Perekop. General Wrangel, who has been en gaged in a life and death struggle against the enemy, did not seriously op pose the onrush of the bolsheviki, but daringly cut around one flank and fell upon their line of communications near Salkovo, taking many thousands of pris oners. Since the passing of the first panic, during which excited people and specu lators paid enormous prices for accom modations on board of Black sea ships, this city has quieted dowh General Wrangel 's troops, after their victories on November 1 and November 2. and before their withdrawal, are said 1o havp sorted from the prisoners and shot hundreds of Jewish bolsheviki com missaries as well as Hungarians, Ru manians, (.'liinese and Germans. Following the total rout of the-bolshevik; on November .'!, General Wrangel slowly withdrew his line toward the Sal kov railway, where it united with units which had been holding the soviet forces below Melitipol. These units took from the bolsheviki twenty cannon, a large number of machine guns and many pris oners. In explaining his retirement, General Wrangel said: "In view of the absolute superiority of the enemy's numbers, which allowed the bolsheviki to replace their losses, it was decided to withdraw to Crimea. Our troops are tired, but their spirits are gooik The retreat was conducted without pressure from the enemy." WRECK. ON SEABOARD AT APEX TODAY fRv The Associated Press.) RALEIGH, N.

WITH 12 MILLIOII CAPITAL NEW ORLEANS, Nov. Bankers from all over the south were here today to plan tho organization of a (12,000,000 foreign trading corporation, which will establish banking facilities to market the agricultural products of the south in Europe. The meeting was called by Robert F. Maddox, president of the Atlanta Na tional Bank and chairman of a special committee appointed to investigate the possibilities of such a corporation at the recent annual meeting of the American Bankers' Association. According . to prospective plans branches will be established in Cuba and South and Central America. While all products of the south will be handled by the corporation it was said the plans provide for cotton receiving first atten tion. It was pointed out by Mr. Maddox in tlie call for the meeting that ' formation of Che corporation was not for the pur pose of controlling the cotton situation or in aiding the holding of cotton . for higher prices, but rather for the purpose of financing the sales of cotton ana other products to foreign countries and provide the banking facilities for this class of business. The corporation is to be organised un der the provisions of the Edge law, ac cording to plans, and as soon as organ ization can be perfected it "will give at tention to the needs of. the south for financing big deals with foreign piarkets in its stapte products cotton, sugar, rice and lumber. The corporation, according to plans, will furnish the machinery through which banks associated in the organization may merge their resources in placing the farm crops on the most profitable markets in the world. New Orleans has made a bid for headquar ters .of the corporation. " Only one organization such as is planned now exists. It was formed in New York with' a $2,000,000 capital shortly after the Edge law made such an association possible. The New York con cern is known as the First Federal For eign Banking Association and the one to bo formed here probably will be known as the Second Federal Foreign Banking Association. RECRUITING FOR NAVY TAKES ON NEftT LIFE WASHINGTON, Nov. 5- Recruiting for the navy is progressing so satisfactor ily that naval officials believe it will soon be possible to send to sen a large number of vessels of nil classes now carried on paper as pacj of the fleets, but actually tied up uf navy ports for lack of crews. Recruits are entering the service at a rate exceeding 2,.'t00 n week and the training stations arc daily sending large numbers of men to tie rlects after the usual four months of training. On November I the navy was only 28,000 men short of the authorized strength of ap proximately M.I, 000 and it is believed at the department that tlie full strength will be reached before March 1 . As a result of the shortage of ex perienced men it became necessary hist winter and spring to place a large num ber of vessels entirely out of commission or to lay them up with greatly reduced crews. Eighteen battleships are now with the Atlantic and Pacific fleets on cruising duty however, while four .others have reduced crewg. Thirteen of the older types are out of commission entire- ly. Of the 243 modern destroyers complet ed and turned over to the navy, only 65 are now in full commission and of these 25 are in European waters or are out fitting for sorvice abroad. Of the re mainder 130 are laid up with crews of 30 men aboard and the others are out of commission entirely. It is explained at the navy department that there is no expectation of ever plac ing full crews aboard all the destroyers in timo of peace as tho navy now has a superabundance of this type of vessel. About 50 per cent of the destroyers eventually will be kept fully manned and on duty with the fleets and the others giv en only large enough crews to keep them ready for duty in time of emergency. The naval force, naval officials say, can always be depended upon to provide trained crews for both destroyers and bat tleships in reserve when occasion de mands. No modern submarines are out of com mission, according to naval officials, but 36 of these vessels of the older types are without full crews. Difficulty has been experienced in training men for the sub mersibles due to the peculiar technical nature of the duty. Of the 55 Eagle boats on the naval list, 31 are fully manned and 24 are in reserve or loaned to the naval reserve force for training purposes, it is stated, with 26 cruisers and gunboats in full commission and 24 in reduced commission or laid up. The substantial increase in pay grant ed the navy at the last session of con gress, together with the recent announce ment of an extended cruise by the At lantic and Pacific fleets this winter to ports in South America, Africa,- Aus tralia sad New Zealand, have served to greatly stimulate enlistments, o facials a the department say. AMERICA!! HlSSIOri ' FALLS INTO THE HAHOS , OF SOVIET FOHSES No Knowledge at Washingta v of Any American Mission ass ' Russian Frontier. LONDON, Nov. S An Americas mission in South Russia has, fallen in the hands of the soviet forces, aeeevdias; -to the Moscow newspaper Pravda, r m -quoted in s wireless dispatch today freas -the soviet capital . The mission, say fl : newspaper, was headed by ."Geweiss Morel." " The Pravda reported the incident fcv recording details of the bolshevik sttacfc ; upon the forces of General Baros Wra . el.

So far as known the only .America mission now in the Crimea is an JkmtiA can red cross unit of about, a doses aseav ' bers, commanded by Major George II Rydon, of Kansas .City, Mo. .There aljo is an American naval and diplomatic ads- ' sion under Rear Admiral Newton A.

The French embassy, however,' had received no report concern t ing the iucideut.and expressed doubt that their diplomatic mission had gotten into such a position as to make possible it capture.
