'Zi. The recent nn nountcmrnt of tho imminent dispatch nt nn cTecutlro military rxpcilitioii to the Cbwomh was nn erroneous ileilur tion caiied h.v the faet thnt the British had sHen notice of inability to fur nish their quota of troops for the plehiscite urcn. according to n state ment from the foreizn office today. The fact K it i pointed out. the supreme council hai pccifically rejected proposi .ilbns to send even Mnall continpeuts of 'troop to help tlie (leorgians nnd Azer baijans nnd hns derided to confine its aid to material and supplies. Lwiilnit, Jan. -3 A stntement is sued today ofi behalf of Premier l.lojd OeorRe va there i no truth in reports that the British AVar Minister, Win ntnii Sneneer Churchill, and the general staff, mhocntc the sending of troops to the Caucasus or any other part of Itus yia. ItoMiniUI Isolate Crimea Russian soviet forces have virtually rut off the Crimean peninsula from the mainland, nccording to nn official state ment issued nt the -war office in Mos cow and received here by wireless. "Our advancing troops nre fighting about six miles north of Porekop aua have repelled enemy counter-attacks about nine miles west of Gcnichesk." tho statement says. "In the steppe re gion further east we have defeated the third Kuban division, rapturing its divisional staff.' Another Moscow dispatch reports anti-Bolshevik forces evacuating Ellza hethgrad. in the northern part of the government of Kherson, and hurriedly retreating toward the Black sea coast. The British war office announces that on the center and left fronts of the Caucasus army the Bolshevists have been forced back from the line of the Sai rier astride tho Tsaritsyn-Kkater-inodar Railroad. Further west "the Bolshevists have made repeated at tempts to cross the Don east of Rostov and have succeeded in establishing smnll bridgpheads on the left bank at two places. Red Cavalry Defeated To the west of Rostov tlicir nttempts to rross have been repulsed with heavy losses. The Red cavalry here lost twelve guns, 100 machine guns nnd many prisoner.

Palmer in Flight From Sedition Bills Cnntltinnl frm Twee One abandon on the doorstep of Congress, telling how he would "soak "em" if he only had the right legislation, will not be the only person to beat n strategic re treat. One of the nblcst pollticnl ob servers, a journalist of international reputation, said a fortnight ago: "The country seems to want reaction and the Republican party is preparing to give it reaction enough to make itsick." Republicans Seek Cover The danger of this at the time seemed great. One could feel it when the Re publican national committee met here in December. A Republican editor who has been a prominent supporter of Roosevelt, watching the scenes, said: "These fellows are in the mood they were in when they found they could elect Root chairman of the national convention in 1012. They will stop at nothing." All that will be changed by the surt lin hlow-un of reaction. Congressman Cmnnhell. of Kansas, speaking of tn- situation in the House, now says : "There will probably be no sedition legislation, but if there is any it will be the product of cold common sense." The Republi can party policy for 1020 nnd its choice of candidate will now be the product of "cold common sense." It is impossible to tell how far the swing of the pendulum, which hns just begun now. will EO. But the extremity of the "oscillations is diminishing. During the war tne swing townrd idealism was the most extraordinary in the TiiRtory or the country. The natural consequence was that the ensuing swing toward reaction and intolerance was almost unprece dented. But. however far the present counter movement will go, the Repub licans will have until June '- which to observe it. They will regard it with cold common sense. They will be able to act in the full knowledge that the Democracy has in Mr. Hoover the possibility to choose a candidate who will fully express liberalism, which Is once wore mani festing itself. Ho has dcclnred for freedom oFspcech nnd for n faith in American institutions strong . enough not to be shaken by the wild talk of Radicals. And if the return of liberalism brings back with it a certain idenlism regard ing the nation's mission in Europe, the Democrnts have the possibility of a candidate who expresses that too. The return to sense has come in time so that there is no danger of the Re publican party's being left like Mr. Palmer, high and dry, by the sudden rushing out of the tide. The idea thnt n candidate for the presidency might be too conservative, too representative of the old Guard which Roosevelt fought, has not been even discussed up till now. In the counsels of the party nnd in the press more will be heard of it from now on. ATTITUDE SAME, PA LMERTDECLARES Washington. Jan. 2.1. (By A. P.) Attorney General I'almcr declared in a statement today that he had never ap proved the pending Sterling nnd Graham sedition hills nnd thnt legislation ie ap proved was embodied in the bill he sent to the Senate nnd which hns since been introduced in the House by Representa tive Duey. Democrat, of Ohio. "An entirely erroneous impression of my attitude toward the so-called Graham and Sterling sedition bills has gone out through the press," said Mr. Palmer. "My position in regard to se dition legislation is the sumo today ns it has been since I first submitted in response to a request of the Senate committee a tentative draft of a meas ure which, in my opinion, will cover all the needs of the situation. "I have at no time, personally or of ficially, expressed approval of, the nro- isions of any sedition measure except the one submitted in my report to the Senate and which has been introduced in the House by Congressman Dnvey." John D. Moore, of New York, told the House rules committee todny that "no body wants additional anti-sedition legislation." "If I were a Republican T would run like n deer to separate myself from such a measure," he said, adding that Demo crats could capitalize for campaign pur poses on such legislation ir passed while Republicans controlled Congress. Swinboumc Hale1, a former army of ficer, said every syllable, feature or pro vision of the Graham bill was objection able nnd thnt the measure was "filled with jokers." "Most of the bombs we hear about nro planted by newspapers," Hale said. Asked to cite nn instance, Halo snicl some "whitish substnnee, probably bl enrbouate of soda," had been found In a cupboard of the Russian union workers in New York and police without chemi cal examination had told the newspapers it was "TNT." more than enough to blow up the city of New York. "The next morning nil tne newspapers from the Atlantic to the Pacific unfolded what they thought to be n great bomb scandal," the witness ,saii. "Asked if u bomb Could not have been manufactured. Ilnle said 'there were not sufficient facilities to make one, nddlng that the members of the union "would not have done such a thing." Disapproval of the deportation of the radicals and communists sent out on the Buford was expressed by Hale, who said, Iiowumt, Hint l-'mma Goldman and Alexander Berkman should have been expelled "becnuse they nre different." In communications received todny by members of Congress, John L. Lewis, noting president of the United Mine Workers of America, protested against the bills "in behalf of one-halt million organized miners." "Enactment of repressive legisla tion," wrote Mr. Lewis, will only serve to bring about n greater degree of con fusion in our body politic." Think Wood Alcohol Killed Two East Rorhaway. N". Y., Jan. 23. (By A. l'.l John A. Gnniion, of Fitehburg, Mass.. nnd Gustavo Green, whom he was visiting, died, presumably of wood alcohol poisoning, at Green's home here today. They became blind after returning to the house last night. HUNGARY MAY HAVE KING Return of Monarchy la Predicted. Austrian Reactionaries Watched Vienna. .Inn no -. a -n There is a growing belief hero thnt th approaching Hungarian election will re- ami. in me cstauiisnment of a mon archical government. For this reason the activity of monarchists in Austria is being watched closely and there have been rumors that a reactionary coup would bo attempted. While Chancellor Karl Rentier was In I'rngue recently nn agreement was reached with Czecho-Slovakia, by tvhlch that country undertook not to supply arms to Hungary, but Austria covenanted to furnish a certain amount nt armament and munitions to the Czechs. 'It is pointed out that this agreement wns significant because if a monarchy is established in Hungary Austria would be tho front line of defense against the spread 6f the reactionary movement.

BroidSt ADVKUTI.Sl-TMENT ADVERTISESmNT There is an air of quiet refinement about the store of Marshall & Bush, Inc., and, once inside it, you will find courteous salesmen to attend to your wishes. The store pictured above is located at 1018 Chestnut street, and there is another at 113 South Thirteenth street. During the six years since their business was first established Marshall & Bush have earned an enviable reputation for dependable merchandise and prompt and courteous service. They are the largest distributors of Manhattan shiits in Philadelphia. HOW long since you have had toast and marmalade with your afternoon tea? Or are you one of those who simply must have toast and marmalade with your afternoon tea? If you haven't tasted this delicacy for a lonp time a delicious surprise is awaiting you at Yahn & McDonnell's, 1308 Chestnut street, , A MAGAZINE article, entitled "Kitchen Cosmetics," lays stress upon the importance of having a "light, clean, glistening kitchen." It lauds the use of white paint in making the kitchen "a sanitary and a pleasant place." One feels that the author knew whereof she spoke, especially after one has seen the attractive wnue enameled porcelain- wherc th are now serving tea every Franklin Miller, 1G12 Chestnut afternoon. And if you do have toast nnH mnrmnlnHrt .f A tinnh rim- .,, street. They have bins and drawers , will be pIad to know that cannot which save many a trip tothe pan- fin., more delicious marmalade anv- try, and a pastry board which slides in and out at will. A table such as- this will be an appreciated addition to your kitchen equipment. You' will find them in various sizes to meet the requirements of your kitchen. TT IS fitting that the most beaut!- ful of jewels should commemo rate two such important events as an engagement and a wedding. Ever since the mythical King Zantel bestowed upon the lady of his choice the most precious of gems the dia mond it has been the favored stone for the engagement ring. The Pol ished Girdle Diamond has a brilliance not found in other diamonds, and the process of cutting, which has been patented by Bailey. Banks & Biddle Co., brings out hidden lights which might otherwise be lost. What could be more beautiful for the en gagement ring than this loveliest of diamonds? For the wedding ring a circle of diamonds is most appro priate and makes a fitting accom paniment to the diamond engage ment ring. THE very first glimpse of one of those lovely hand-painted Gift Baskets of Fruit from the store of Henry R. llallowell & Son, Broad street below Chestnut, is bound to bring cheer to even the most languid of convalescents. The baskets are hand painted in bright colors, each boasting a design that is individual and different, and the luscious fruits with which they are filled are most artistically arranged. How tempting they are, with their immense bunches of Hothouse Grapes from Belgium, Florida Strawberries, Beurre d'Anjou Pears nnd Spanish Almeria Grapes! For invalids and those convalescing from illness llallowell's have a Bpecial ba.kct which contains, be sides the luscious fruit, a few jar3 of jams and jellies. Invalids seem to relish these, especially at this time of year find more delicious marmalade anv where in town. Salted nuts are served, too, and you may have lemon or cream with your tea. A toasted sardine sandwich would . make an other delicious accompaniment to your pot of tea, and I cannot resist telling you that you will be delighted with the pretty tearoom. SHE who wears a dress of navy tricotine can consider herself well gowned for very many occa sions. It is appropriate for wear under a long coat when you are shop ping in town, looks well when you remove your coat at luncheon, and those which I saw at tho Margaretta May Toggery Shop, 1600 Chestnut street, are pretty enough for wear at a card party or tea. One had a deen band of chenille embroidery with touches of gold at the bottom of its Russian tunic and a very narrow belt with a tiny buckle. Another was embroidered with cut steel beads and had effective touches of red at neck, sleeves and on the skirt. The sleeves ended above the elbow, as sleeves have a way of doing these days. The dresses are in 14, 16 and 18-year sizes, and reasonably priced. DURABLE, full-fashioned silk half hose at a reasonable price are not to be lightly passed by with a glance these days, especially by the lady who darns them for, after all, it is really she who most appreciates their wearing qualities. She would do well to visit the store of Marshall & Bush, Inc., at 1018 Chestnut street, or 113 South Thirteenth street, or else acquaint her spouse with the fact that there are to be found silk half hose in plain colors. Marshall & Bush also carry all styles of Inter woven socks in lisle, silk and worsted. They make a specialty, however, of the first-mentioned hose, and they are an excellent value and ! will give good service, which is a ' factor in their favor in these days of1 You Should See Men Buying Our Overcoats at About Half Price Tomorrow last opportunity to enjoy the wonderful Savings offered!
