France VIII Excuse Married Men
from P/rt Of Military Service.

london. July l0.--ANother curious rem
ody for the paucity of births in France Is
sugg, sted by Senators Liable and Berthelot,
who have introduced u bill providing that
all married conscrips will only have to
serve year in the RACKS. The promoters
of tho measure express the opinion that
the reason the men do not marry is be-
cause military service comes just at the
time whom youths naturally contemplate
marriage, but they hope by the offer OF de-
Quoting two years from their military ser
vice 10 entice large numbers into matri-
mony In order to ohyiate the probability
of scheming conseripts marrying in order
to escape being drafted into the army and
then divorcing their wives AT the end of
years service. the bill provides that con-
scripts 50 acting Will have to return to the
army and complete their three years SER
