fore congress the necessity o1cutting
down this very clerical force land as

aged any historical students from in
specting the records.
There are those in Washington who
say that General Ainsworth's resigna-
ton has cleared the way for the new
order Of things about to be inaugu~
rated. At any rate, the records here
after will be open.
1t will be difficult to estimate what.
an enormous loss to American history
these regulations have entailed. The
military archives of the United States,
contain much else than simply the rec
ords of military operations. AS one
man has put it:
THE army was so largely the ad"
vance guard Of American civilization
in it's westward march across the con-
tinent that the archives contain a
great wealth of material for the un"
Outstanding of pioneer conditions and
the early history of all parts of the
United States but the Atlantic sea-
board. ~ - -

Birth Rate Probem-Priest
on Marriage.

Paris.--Although its enemies desig-
nate 1t as AN attempt to blackmall
nature" much support, both journals
tic and Legislative, is being given the
petition now before the senate to
pension the French mother for every
child to the extent of 20 francs (S4)
a year during the child's minority.
More than this, under the same meas
ure, the mother of eight children
would receive a medal corresponding
TO the medaille militaire granted in
recognition OF valor. The measure
will probably become law, as tie
senate committee appointed to report
on the matter has signiiied its APP
proval of the scheme to the ministry
of the interior.
Another interesting occurrence on a
similar subject was the first of a
series of lectures by the well-known
priest, Mgr Bolo, on The Marriages
of the Future" in which the ecclesias-
teal speaker took view quite ad-
vanced for his profession.
~ Not only are there more bachelors,
but they are becoming systematic, he
said mo longer do they render hon.
age to matrimony by regretting that
they are bachelors because they can
not do better. Theirs is the philoso-
ply of the good man to whom some
one said, Your son is not old enough
to marry; you ought to wait till he
knows what he is doing to which
this good man replied: You are mis-
taken, for If my son grows wiser he
will never marry"

The regulations of 1897" which
thus clapped the lid on these public
documents is long and elaborate
piece of literature. 1t is signed by
Daniel S. Lamont, as secretary of
war, and specifies as the chief reason
why the records cannot be used ''for
the compilation of statistical and 9th
