act in some degree as u preventive Of
depopulation
Remove all burdensome taxes from
fruitful families" say the members of
the National Alliance, land let French
women and Frenchmen know that,
even from monetary point of view. it
Will be fortunate for them to have many
children. Then, as the national treas
ury must be supported, let us tax those
parents who have few or no children.
Parents who have no children or only
one or two children may reasonably be
required to contribute a goodly quota
toward the support of the state, whereas
1t Is improper and unjust to suspect
any support from those parents who
have to provide for numerous children.
Do this and France will soon become,
as she was in the past, one of the great
est powers in Europe; fail to do this and
France will soon sink to the level of
Denmark. Belgium or Holland"
WILL WAGE A WAR.
The members lof the Alliance intend
to hold several public meetings and to
publish several pamphlets setting forth
their views. They offer membership to
all who care to assist them, irrespective
to creed or political opinions Many per-
sons throughout France have already
announced their adhesion to the pro-
pramme Of Alliance. and II Is confident
ly expected that I'm the near future the
necessary bills in regard to succession
duties and the abolition of taxes will be
presented to the French Legislature.

told, but DIR. Bertillon and his collea =
gues are confident that their appeal to
French patriotism will not be in vain.
Others. however. who know nothing
about statistics. but who profess to
know good deal about human nature,
maintain that this crusade Will produce
little result for the reason that the op-
posing forces are not mainly economi-
cal. but are the result Of old time hab-
it's and ways Of thinking. against which
1t will be impossible to successfully
combat. Taxes and success on duties.
say these critics. have nothing to do
with the question. French families are
generally small, because such has long
been the custom in France, and this
custom no laws or regulations can do
away with. They point out many
moral and other reasons for this GUS
tom. OH which ii is not necessary here
to lay stress. One ingenious critic
maintains that French women become
50 intoxicate with love and admiration
for the first child that they never care
to have any more. He writes with
some bitterness on the subject. and
even goes 80 far as to say that 4 French
woman as soon as she becomes a
mother. gradually loses her love for her
husband and becomes slave to the
child.
Under the circumstances according
to him. the husband and wife tactly
agree to live separate ives. the newt
able result being that the family tie Is
sundered. However this may be. all
thinking men i'm France agree that the
evil exists. and. while some Of them are
satisfied that it cannot be eradicated.
there is not one who is not satisfied that
the National Alliance is step in the
right direction.

MUST HAVE MORE CHILDREN.
An Organization Formed in France
to Agitate the Subject Of Offering
Premiums for Large Families.

A very remarkable campaign has
been started in France. the object be-
Ing to Increase the population. The Or
yanizers are DR.. Jacques Bertillon. chief
Of the bureau Of statistics Of Paris: NJ.
Charles Richet, professor Of the Faculty
Of Medicine In the same city, and DR..
laval. member Of the Academy OF Medi-
cine. For years these men have noticed
with regret that the population q:
France was not increasing proportion
ately with the population cf % her coun-
tries. and now they come forward with
what they believe to De an infallible
remedy for the evil
That some drastic remedy Is needed
they insist, as otherwise Frame must
soon sink to the rank of a second rate.
or even third rate. nation. A hundred
years ago the great countries-in other
words, the great powers--Of Europe
contained $4,000. 900 inhabitants Of whom
5000. 900, or twentyseven per cent,
We're residents of France. Today these
same countries contain 100000 inhabi-
tants. of whom 3S.000 600. or only twelve
per cent. live in France. These figures
speak for themselves. and the obvious
and his colleagues Is. that IL the births
continue to decrease at the same omin-
Gus rate. France, which was once one
of the most powerful countries In Eur
ope, will soon be one Of the weakest.
FORMED A SOCIETY.
These gentlemen have begun their
novel campaign by founding a society.
which Is styled ''The National Alliance
for the Relief of the French Popula-
ton" The defensive measures which
they propose TO adopt are numerous,
but for the immediate present they
will confine their attention to. three
points. First, they will try to get the
laws relating to inheritances greatly
modified: second. they will try to get all
direct taxes removed from those fami-
lies which have more than three chill
drer. and, third. they will try to have
the laws relating to succession duties
thoroughly reformed. AS 1t IL manifest
that the national treasury would be
seriously affected by the removal Of
taxes in the case Of all families which
have more than three children. II IL pro-
posed to place tax of one-fifth per
cent. on all families which are childless
or have only one or two children.
There is said to be excellent reasons
for these proposed reforms. The larger
mans family Is in France, We are told,
the more he is taxed, both directly and
indirectly. the resul. being that thrifty
do not care to have man, children.
Moreover, the parents property must b,
divided among the children. and If the
children are numerous and the prop
erty small the disastrous results can
ca silly be fofesecn. In ether countries
the law Of entail Is maintained pretty
rigidly,a and though its one yation seems
hardly equitable or natural as regards
younger children, It certainly seems to

The MONROE DOCTRINE

WIN Become . Portion OF the Writt(n
Law of the Land, and No Longer q Mere
Shadowy Myth-The Senate Committe e
on Foreign Relations Adopt. With gre
Joint Resolution.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 1S.-The senate
committee on foreign relations met at
10:45 a. m. for the purpose of consider
ing the Monroe doctrine resolution
now before that committee. All mem
bers were present but one.
MIR. Gray made an elaborate argu.
ment against the adoption of a
resolution affirming the Monroe
doctrine, but his argument fell
upon deaf ears. The committee was
overwhelmingly in favor of such
resolution. 1t was proposed by Mr..
Davis, Minnesota, chairman of the sub
committee, and was, after prolonged
discussion made still stronger in one or
two particulars.
The application of the doctrine, by
various secretaries of state, has led to
contradictory positions, and one men,
Der of the committee maintained, to
dangerous admissions. This the COM
mittee intends to obviate by enact
ing into law resolution of such
broad and general character that
those hereafter charged with the diplo-
matte correspondence of the govern
ment need only to cite its provisions.
The resolutions to be reported to the
senate will cover any and all cases.
The committee adjourned at 1s:45
after voting to adopt the resolution
submitted by Mr.. Davis. The commit
tee voted not to give out the text until
it is reported to the senate Monday.

WHAT TURKEY FEARS

should the Red Cross be Permitted to En-.
ter Armenia-The True Story of the
Massacres Would be Learned by Credi-
DE witnesses and the Most Atrocious
Co1rases in Modern History Become
GENERALLY Known Abroad.
PITTSBURGH, Pa, Jan. I7.-Mr.
George KEENAN,, the celebrated travel
Ter. In talking about Armenia yester-
day said:
1T is absolutely improbable that the
Red Cross will seek to enter Armenia
TO relieve the enormous distress there
Tor two reasons; the sultan has for
hidden it, and, quite Justly, our gov
eminent will offer Clara Barton and
her band no assistance Surprising
the Red Cross should carry their good
samaritan work into the districts
where these massacres are reported;
the results would be that the reports
would give full detail of the atrocities
committed by the Turks on the de-
fenseless Armenians. 1t is these re-
ports that the sultan fears, and it is to
evade broadcasting them that he de-
MES admission to the Red Cross"
The country, he says, is now in the
midst of a rigorous winter; it is very
mountainous, and the roads at best
are hardly more than bride paths
This would make it impracticable at
this season for the members of the So
ciety to carry on their work in Ar
menia.
The sultan would never permit the
necessary military escort to guard the
supplies from the attacks of the kurds,
who infest the mountain highways,
and the sufferings of the Red Cross
people from these causes can only be
imagined.
Mr.. KEENAN, thinks the recent mas
sacres in Armenia the most atrocious
in modern history.

Be1ated tourists in Switzerland are
offered ''sight" which is as unique
as it is satisfactory. The frownlng
rocks around the Devils bridge, be-
tween Goschenen and Andermatt, are
hidden under heavy scaffoldings, put
mp in order to efface the glaring ad-
vertisements which for some time past
have disfgured the grand and grew
some mountain fortress. 1t will de-
light the heart of every climber on the
Gotthart highways and byways to
know that next year he will be spared
the sight of one ungainly advertise
ment crying out in gigantic letters
close to the DEVILS bridge the names
of the best chocolate manufacturers
in Switzerland, and of another stating
the fact that at a certain Berlin hotel
seven hundred beds are at the dis
posal of the traveller in Switzerland.
One wonders whether, together with
the advertisements, the figure with
the cloven hoofs win disappear, which
some native or foreign artist has
painted in red color against one of the
rocks overhanging the road of the per-
sonage after whom the famous bridge
is named. -Westminster Gazette.
