Manila. April 3o,-The American
Chamber Of Commerce has passed a
resolution iudorsing the action Of the
United states army in the Philippines
in an eudeavor to counteract what the
members of the chamber believe TO be
the opinion prevailing In the United
States that officers and soldiers have
acted in violation of the rules Of war.
The preamble says the chamber Is
composed exclusively Of American bus
iness men, who have been thrown into
immediate contact with the prevailing
conditions everywhere in the archi-
peiago, and IL was resolved that with
out the constant watchfniness of the
army in the Philippines no property
or business interests would be safe,
and that upon its influence depends
the stability of the civil government.
The resolution eulogizes General
Chaffee, whose earnest effort has sus-
tanned and assisted the civil authori-
ties in the difficult task of establish
ment of civil government. and praises
his good judgment and humanity,
which have won him the admiration
and affection of all loyal Americans
in the islands"

among the poorer classes to the extent
that 1t does in Great Britain and conti-

WOMEN IN FRANCE.

Alfred Neymarck. who recently read his
views before society in Paris whose
mission is to listen to just such things.
1t is he who insinuates that the up-to-
date women of France are guilty of lack
OF patriotism.
clares a factor in the decreasing birth
rate, which is OF increasing Importance
Whether woman embarks in business
her duties as mother no longer have
first place In her thought, but second
place only. For a business woman a
family that demands her care is disad-
vantage.
NJ Neymarck thinks that a growing
number Of women in France are coming
to prefer life of independence obtained
by their own efforts to life of depend
ent idleness at home He expects this
cause further to lower the birth rate, and
he hints that it augurs lack of patriot
ism in the women.
How important this cause is now NJ.
Neymarck points out By stating that it
is estimated that 3,500.000 women in
France are engaged in business occs-
patIons OF one sort or another. There
are nearly 100000 citizens of the two
sexes without progeny.
NJ. Neymarck administers little con-
ISOLATION to French susceptibilities that
he may have hurt. 1t is the theory that
the higher the civilization. the lower the
birth rate. And he shows that the birth
rate in France is much lower than in
Germany or England.-New York Sun.

The Washington times., 1902-09-24

The women of France come next TO
those of the United States perhaps in
point of vigor with which they assert
their rights and their wishes. Since
France has been republic they have in
deed been agitating the question of wo-
mans rights with a seriousness that the
movement has not always been able to
command in America
They have all sorts of associations of
their own, and they are pushing their
way into business. The energy they can
act with was shown in the recent dis
turbances over the closing of schools
Of religious orders.
Naturally all this progress has not
been pleasing to the men who imagined
that their sex was entitled to be pre-
eminent in everything. So lots of ac-
cusations have been made against the
progressive women.
The latest involves a charge of lack
of patriotism. 1t is based upon the de-
clining birth rate.
OF course the French have long been
told that their great national duty was
to inflict the long delayed vengeance on
Germany. Equally, of course. there is
little hope of Frances being able to do
this so long as her population remains
stationary while Germany's is growing.
Therefore Frenchman of all profess
sions-statesmen. statisticians, philos-
ophers, etc-have been trying to discover
what is the matter with the birth rate.
The latest of these investigators is
