When Romance Intermingled
With Tragedy in Trying
Days With Bolsheviki
Copenhagen, Dec. 29. (Corres
pondence of the Associated Press.)
Romance was intermingled with
tragedy in the trying days when the
foreign colonies were attempting to
get permission to leave Russia. Ar
rests, searches and threats of exe
cution were relieved by marriages
between men of the entente powers
and Russian women.
Th Bolsheviki government would
not grant Russian citizens permits
to go abroad. Consequently foreign
men who hoped to leave Russia
shortly coull not hope to see their
sweethearts for an indefinite period,
possibly never, if they left them In
starving, disreputed Russia, where
food is denied to persons not re
garded as "class-conscious work
men" and all persons not in sympa
thy with Bolshevism are dispos
sessed. 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 Lockhart, the British dip

greater obstacles perhaps, than

By the Associated Press. America

States would feel it had a right to
take an interest In that and would
join no combination that did not
have that end in view.
There is a cordial fraternity de
clared the President, on the part of
those who are willing to give a lit
tle more than they receive. This
co-partnership of power and inter
est has failed because men are not
held together by such instruments.
Devotion to the right is the only tie
that will hold the people of the
world in a solid phalanx.

Carlisle, England, Dec. 30..
President Wilson, accompanied by
Mrs. Wilson, cam to Carlisle yes
terday in rain and a cold penetrat
ing mist to visit the girlhood home
of his mother. But the warmth of
the greeting of the people of the
town and of the thousands of stran
gers from the surrounding country
more than offset, the dreariness of
the weather. " Large crowds lined
the streets and cheered the Presi
dential party lustily as it drove
from the station, where the Presi
dent was received by Mayor Ber
tram Carr and local notables, the
A Mit.rft Htel. where the
President signed the Freeman's
role.
The President visited Annetwell
atrAAt.. whfire the site of his late
frandfather's chapel was pointed
out to him and th9 house in Caven-
Aiah P1nA thnt was built by his
grandfather. Later he attended
service in the Lowther Street Con
gregational church. During the
services the Rev. Edward Booth,
pastor, requested the President to
come into the pulpit and address
the assemblage. This the President
did, delivering a short speech, in
which he touched simply but elo
auently on his mother.
The President epoke as follows:
"It is with unaffected reluctance
that I inject myself Into this ser
vice. I remember my grandfather
very well, and remembering hira, I
can see how he would not approve
I remember what he requred of me
and remember the stern lessons of
duty he spoke. And I remember
painfully about things he expected
me to know that I did not know.
"There has come a change of
times when laymen like myself are
permitted to speak in a congrega
tion. There is another reason why
I was reluctant to speak.
"The feelings excited in me to
day are really too intimate and too
deep to permit of public expression.
The memories that have come of the
mother who was born here are very
affecting. Her "quiet character, the
sense of duty and his dislike of os
tentation have come back to me
with increasing force as these years
f duty have accumulated. Yes,
perhaps, It is appropriate that In a
place of worship I should acknowl
edge my indebtedness to her and
her remarkable father, because, af
ter all what the world now is seek
ing to do Is to return to the paths
of duty, to turn from the savagery
f interests to the dignity of the
perfrmance of right.
"I believe as this war has drawn
nations temporarily together in a
combination In moral force Is irre-
sistable. It is moral iorce, as-, raw
as physical force that has defeated

All coalition with the Unionists
and National Parly may be regard
ed roughly as supporting Lloyd
George. The only opposition will be
formed by the Asquithian Liberals,
Laborites and Independents.
It is difficult to compare the re
sults of this election with that of
1910, owing to the numerous rear
rangements of constituencies under
the last reform act, but a compari
son between the country areas as a
whole shows that London has gone
almost solid for the coalition. Only
three independent Liberals were re
turned and two Laborites returned
are both coalitionists.
The returns in Yorkshire are no
less astonishing. Of the 66 mem
bers from Yorkshire 26 are coali
tion Liberals; two members of the
National Democratic Party which
supports the coalition, are discharg
ed, soldiers and sailors' representa
tives; eight are labor members and
only one ia an independent Liberal.
In Lancashire the sixty-six mem
bers returned do not include a sin
gle independent Liberal.
Even in Scotland the number of
independent Liberals returned can
be numbered on the fingers of one
hand. ,
.Coalition leaders claim that the two
principal factors that contributed to
their triumph are the votes of the
women and soldiers.

FRANCE FAVORS FULL OF
WORK OF PEACE CONERENCE
Wilson was selected as the next
meeting place for Sudan Temple
which will probably be some time
during the latter part of May. This
decision was reached after a spirit

special committee, appointed by the
Potentate, who listened to the con

"Shrinedom" was turned loose in"
New Bern yesterday. Early in the
morning the "fresh meat" were as
sembled in front of the Gaston ho

drum and told to keep beating un
til told to stop. As each new can
didate arrived he was well taken
care of by Sudan Fatrol.
About 11 o'clock, after a parade
around town In which Sudan patrol,
drum corps, and a band from Fort
Caswell led the procession, follow
ed by candidates and shriners, the
sstunts began in full blast.
One of the most interesting and
amusing of these was the one iu
which sacks of flour were sold at 5
cents each and the person buying it
had the privilege of pitching it at
the head of one of the candidates.
It was on the order of pitching balls
at the "nigger's" head which is of
tentimes seen at the county fairs
and carnivals. The flour used for
this purpose was some old worm
eaten and sour flour which was do
nated to the Shriners for this pur
pose. The flour was put up in
small sacks and sold for five cents
each and the money derived from
it was donated to the Red Cross.
Another interesting and comical
stunt was one In which several ap
ples hung on a string and suspend
ed from a rope were dipped In glue
