not as yet fully prepared their re-
port Of prospective levy to be sub"

49,. Anti-Duelling Bill

PARIS. April 3.-The bill proposing
hne and Imprisonment for dueists and
their seconds has passed the committee
stage with honors, and the chamber Of
deputies may make the bill a law soon.
Some months ago the Able Lemre, a
priest deputy, declared duels to be ut
terly useless and dangerous, and intro
duced a bill at the chamber calling for
Jail sentences of from six days to three
months for those who engage In them
as principals or seconds. And the editor
OF a newspaper which prints an article
insiruating that any man mas refused to
challenge another to a duel or has re-
fused to respond to challenge to one,
will be similarly imprisoned or fined
In several of the recent flood of duels
men who had never had a sword in their
hands were compelled by the so-called
code of honor to fight expert swords
men. Newspapers have taken up the
crusade, pointing out that 1t is rather
doubtful honor for an expert to force
a tyro to duel with unfamiliar weapons.
The anti-dueling bill will come up in
the chamber after the Easter holidays.
