Paris, March 20,-Inquiry at three

response that It had been decided to

of one OF the banks said the postpone
ment was for such an indefinite period
that 1t was not likely the issuance
would occur for some time to come.
The postponement was attributed tc
the uncertainties Of the war situation.

A JUST DECISION.
Man Encourages Women to Drink
Cannot Get Divorce.


Kansas City. March 20.-"A man
should investigate carefully the char
acter of a girl he is to marry. If he
knows her faults before the ceremony,
he cannot feel himself aggrieved, in
law, If these faults make the married
state intolerable.
IF man knows a girl drinks even
beer, he is taking his life in his nand
when he marries her. The appetite
for liquor is bad enough in a man, but
you know it is tenfold worse in its
in women.
ITO my mind one Of the greatest
evils of our day is the tendency of
girls and young women to drink been
