With regard TO the impending le,is-
alton in France abolishing titles Of
nobility, and prohibiting their use, it
is likely TO be carried without much
dimculty, as the use Of titles has de-

that the members OF the old aristocracy
prefer 90 dispense with their titular
dignlues, at any rate when among people
Of their own set. There are laws I'm

CANADIANS PLEDGED
AGAINST AMERICA
Preference League VIII Not
Buy Here.

MONTREAL. Dec. 6.-The movement
TO get the preferential tariff for Canada
from Great Britain has taken several
new phases.
The idea Of the promoters is evidently
that II the United States discriminates
in its tariffs against Canadian goods. the
Canadians should take the same attitude
toward imports from New England or
any other part Of the United States.
Pledges are being circulated through
out the Dominion Of Canada. that the
signers viii not buy American goods. AS
most Of the imports into Canada come
from New England. this plan is aimed
most directly al that section in retalla-
tion to what IS taken here 20 be the New
England attitude.

prohibitions from the further employ

In several other KINGDOMS. notably in

law, and their use prohibited, and

fiance OF his country's laws-it is to all
intents and purposes worthless.
In Russia the titles actually granted
by the Russian crown have been very
few and far between. True. there are a
large number OF members OF the aris-
tOcracy OF that portion OF Poland alb
sorbed by Russia who have been allowed
10 retain the titles conferred upon them
by the former kings Of Poland. II is
the same as regards the German-speak-
ing provinces Of Russia, the local aris-
toCracy using titles that are OF German
or Lithuanian origin. and never con-
ferred by the Russian crown. Then
too, there are several French and italian
families. now Russianized, such as that
Of the present Muscovite ambassador at
Washington. which have been allowed
to retain and to use in Russia the titles
borne by their ancestors in the land OF
their origin.
But the titles actually conferred by
the Russian crown itself are. as 1 have
just stated, very few in number, among
them being the coronets Of count grant

Witte. TO the Mouraviefl family. and TO
