TELLS OF THE new
MARRIAGE LAWS
Cardinal Gibbons Says They
Will Not Change Greatly
the Existing Laws

Cardinal Gibbons said yesterday in
Baltimore that the new laws relating to
marriage in the Catholic Church which
have recently been issued by the Holy
See will not change. in any important
particular the existing laws in the
church in this country The new laws
are aimed to prevent hasty and ill-ad-
vised marriages.
''The legislation" said the Cardinal,
will not materially affect the present
laws of the church in this country. AS
you are no doubt aware. the publica-
ton of the banns has always been re-
quired in this country except in cases
in which a special dispensation is pro-
cured from me. This rule will not be
altered by the new legislation. am
not ready at this time to discuss the
details of the matter. but, as have
said, the effect of the new laws win not
change existing rules in America"
The new regulation will. it is said.

countries, according to the Cardinal
The announcement that the Holy See
had revised the DEGREES of the Council
of Trent on the subject of marriage
was made in this country last Septem-
ber.
The decree was issued chiefly on ac-
count of the inconvenience arising in
Europe from what are termed "sponsa-
lia"-that is. mutual promises Of mar
riage privately entered upon. These
sponsalia, it was found, caused the de-
ception of inexperienced girls and gave
rise to dissensions and disputes.
It was ordered that the marriage
should take place before the parish

Admiral Evans Is still suffering severely

has designated Rear Admiral Thomas to

No foundation has been found for the
extraordinary rumor set - foot that

that Japanese would try to blow up one

The Minister has designated special po-
lice boats to patrol the roadstead ARD all

There were some other conditions at

apply to this country, where the safe
guards in connection with marriage
are numerous ana sufficient. The banns
must be published, or there must be a
dispensation for some good reason, and
if wedding is celebrated in a parish
to which neither of the contracting
parties belong, there must be a letter
from the parish priest who had the
right to celebrate the marriage.

The appearance of Daniel j. Kelly. the greatest

the champion middle distance runner, and Frank
Waller the former quarter mile champion and
a fine hurdler- Ramey has reconsidered his inten-
tion of starting in the 100Oyard run, and will ap-
pear in the special race at Co yards.
Word comes from the West that the cha mpion
spFinter is in fine fettle for his debut New York
and his cherished ambition seems 10 be to create
indoor mark that will be difficult to duplicate
While the Go yard will resolve itself into

BELL FAVORS CANTEEN.
Declares Its abolition an Injury to
the SerUice.

Washington, Jan. 21.-To definitely settle cer-
tain important questions Of fact relative to the
| army canteen system, and to meet the assertion
| that the repeated application of the War De-
! partment for the repeal of the law which abol-
| ished the canteen not based facts,
| Major General Bell, chief of staff. has caused
| careful study of the matter to be made and a
full record prepared, with the view of placing
before the Secretary of War in concise form
reasons why the law should be repealed. This
statement forms of the principal chapters
in his annual report just issued for publication.
The conclusion that General Bell reaches is as
follows:
When the canteen in operation there
were fewer desertions, fewer fines and forfeit
ures imposed by sentence of courts martial. less
alcoholism and less venereal disease than prior
to its establishment. / am satisfied that
a careful consideration of the whole subject as
set forth in the special report, together with
the views of the department commanders. will
be convincing evidence that the abolition of the
canteen has resulted in injury to the service.
The morals and discipline of the army have
suffered in consequence, though of course no
should be narrow as to ascribe to the
abolition of the canteen feature all evil effects
observable.
General Bell makes a strong plea for the crea-
tion of a reserve Of $4,000 men under forty
years of age and who have served enlist
ment in the regular army. He would pay these
men from S24 to $50 per annum, holding them
subject to call, wherever they be, at any mo-
ment and to ten days training each year.
General Bell also urges an increase of army
pay and a provision for extra officers and
enlargement of the coast artillery corps and the
medical corps An interesting feature of the
report is complete plan for the reorganization
of the army to meet modern conditions
and enable the President to be prepared to
mobilize 5000 men without denuding every
military station and absolutely breaking up our
peace system of organization and administra-
ton Says General Bell:
Unless other great nations wrong and
wasting time and money they giving us an
object lesson which Americans will have to
some day learn by costly and humiliating ex-
perience and which 1t is the duty of profess
Sional soldiers to point out-namely, that time
and training are both necessary to convert an
unframed volunteer into soldier, whether for
infantry, cavalry artillery, engineers or signal
corps The last great war clearly demonstrated
that the side which is ready and acts promptly
gains the decisive advantage.
