MOROCCAN STATE BANK SAFE
European Governments Ready to

AIgec!ras Treaty.

MADRID, June 2-(Special Cablegram to
The Bee )-The Spanish government has
been officially informed that the European
governments who were represented at the
Algeciras conference are willing to make
arrangements with their respective ma
tional banks and bankers to take up the
share assigned to each high contracting
power I'm the Moroccan State bank under
the Algeciras convention. The Bank of
Spain has agreed to cover the Spanish
share in the Moroccan State bank this
having been considered by the government
and the board Of the Bank OF Spain to
be the most advisable course with a view
20 prevent even a part Of the share from
falling into the hands of other foreign
shareholders likely to be eager TO exercise
influence in the State bank and in the
finances Of Morocco. A Spanish auditor,
or censor, according to the phraseology OF
the Algeciras conference, will soon be ap-
pointed by the Bank OF Spain on the same
conditions as the auditors to be selected
by the Banks OF England. France and
Germany.

EFFECTS OF THE ERUPTION
Prof. MAtteucci Examins VesuvIus to
Determine Changes wrought
in Crater.

ROME, June 2.-(Special Cablegram
to The Bee. IAN ascent of Vesu-
vius just made by Prof Matteucci
to investigate the changes made in
the crater and on the summit by the
recent eruption reveals some interesting
facts. Cooks funicular railway. with its
station at the summit, has completely dis
appeared, the very rails and telegraph
poles being destroyed, only a few yards
OF the rails remaining, but all twisted
and wrinkled. The cone has now diame-
ter of about 1900 metres. There is no
more eruption of lava and that OF smoke
has almost ceased but from time to time
sulphurous gas arises The great portion
OF file cone which had fallen is still warm,
so that the persons visiting and walking
on It have to keep constantly moving
lest heir shoes get badly burnt. Mattucci
was desirous of measuring the diameter
Of the crater, but the impetuous wind and
the puffs OF ashes prevented him from
placing the measuring apparatus as 1t was
necessary. A brigadier Of carbineers, to
whom rope was tied, one end of which
was held by his companions, assembled the
edge OF the crater, but he could only get
a glimpse Of this extinct caldron, for the
rise Of sulphurous gases rendered It neces-
sary for him TO descend quickly. He saw,
however. that inside the cone preserves
its funnel-like shape, but that it is very
much enlarged. Matteucci calculates that
the height of Vesuvius has been lowered
by CSC feet during the eruption. That has
been caused by the fall of the cone OF
sides of the crater. Such changes as
these-a lowering and elevation of the
summit-have accompanied the greater
eruptions of this volcano

PARIS AS A DIVORCE MECCA
Commission FormuIntes Plan by
which Separation IL Easily
Obtained.

PARIS. June Especial Csblegram to
The Bee )-Paris like London is having Its
divorce agitation After resolving that
love should be made legally compulsory
in wedlock the unofficial marriage reform
commission, which has been carrying on
its labors for a long time past, has now
come to the vast subject of divorce. Above
all, 1t has affirmed perfect equality between
the sexes as regards the dissolution as
well as the contracting OF marriage.
French law, like English law is harder
on wives than on husbands. and miscon-
duct alone. without aggravating circum-
stances, is sufficient ground for divorce
when committed by the woman. but not
when committed by the man. However,
the radical reform proposed is divorce for
lncompa tibilty, not merely by mutual
consent. but on the petition Of either OF
the parties. French law does not-as
does that Of England-refuse divorce when
both husband and wife are convicted Of
misconduct; that is to say, in cases when
divorce is most needed. But it vetoes
divorce by mutual consent. The latter
should, according to the reform commits
sion, be allowed with the least possible
hindrance of formality. on the principle,
that love, being legally compulsory in
severed when both parties agree that
they love one another no more.
On the same principle either party should
be able to obtain divorce, even without
the consent OF the other. II love has
cooled on one, side and not on the other.
the commission plties the constant one,
but does not feel justified in compelling
the hckle half to go on bearing an irk-
some yoke However. in such cases
divorce would not be made easy. It would
be compulsory for the parties to go on
living together for two years after the
first petition of one of them, which
would have to be renewed every six
months during that time, as a warranty
that the petitioner was quite sure OF his
or her feelings, and not acting on
whim. Among the grounds SUFFICIENT foi
immediate divorce the commission woult
include haoitual drunkenness and somt
diseases.

prophets declared. The and earth
auakes which have afiicted II recently are
proof positive, and all that is required to
fulhn the prophecies is the coming Of
Anti-Christ, who is somewhat unkindly
identified with Napoleon
The chancelleries OF Europe will no
doubt be interested to learn that an entire
readjustment of the political divisions ot
the western world is coming. Between
now and 1919 the twenty-five states into
which the original territory Of the Roman
empire is now divided will he reorganized
in ten allied Kingdoms. and then Anti
Christ, or Napoleon, will arise. He will
make his first political appearance as king
of Syria, but in 1922 he will attack and
conquer France, and then he will extend
his rule over the rest OF the ten Kingdoms.
There will be 100000 Christians in the
world at this time. the prophets declare,
but evidently they will not all be equally
deserving of favor, for in 1924 or 1926, 1A,c0C
of them win be translated to heaven, while
the other 9,s560oO will be transported to a
desert near Mount Sinai. where they will
have to wait three and one-half years.
