that has grown up in France recently baseball bids fair to become the most popular and fashionable method of it's expression.
 Several hundred curious spectators journeyed to Colomb a few days ago to see the game played officially for the first time under the auspices of the Racing Club" As the match progressed the Parisians became more and more fascinated, and by the end of the ninth everybody present prom fsed himself a try at the new game, which will, in all probability, be of hcially adopted by the leading Paris athletic clubs.
 F'renchmen to-day take pride in be- ing athletic. It is the fashion to Ego in'' for some kind of outdoor sport. A soft arm and a pallid complexion are coming to be scorned. This change in Frenchmen is one result of what has been called ''the new spirit in France; the spirit of confidence, of action. of morality. It is well ex- empli7ed by Maurice Barres and 8 younger school of writers who believe a man can write just as good poetry and philosophy in ridfng-breeches or after a. game of tennis as with long locks, butterfly neckwear, and a dull and unhealthy eye.
 Frenchmen are determined in 1915 to average their poor performances in the last Olympic Games. The coun- try is being searched systematically for promising athletes. A number of welI-known men. among them the Marquis de Po1ignac, have undertaken a campaign to arouse the country to it's responsibilities in this connection, and already athletic competitions to bring out Olympic material are being arranged in every little village in France. From these the winners will assemble in county competitions, and so on, until gradually by elimination there will be picked out the best team of athletes which France can produce France is making up her mind to sur prise the athletic world in 1915, and the growing popularity of '1e. sport will aid materially to- this az$\

and ''cuImination'' was intended, but let it pass.)
 My daughter shall marry for love, and for love alone" the Kaiser has of ten been quoted as saying-doubtIess with a mental reservation that her love should not be bestowed upon any person not suitable. That Princess Victoria Lutse has fallen in love with Prince Ernest of Cumberland is fortunate for Emperor William, for the matrimonial alliance not only in sures his daughters happiness, but is Of political advantage. The father of the bridegroom is the son and heir of the last King of Hanover, and Prussia's forcfb1e annexation of that country was naturally not tO his Iik- ing. Since then the Hanoverian Guelphs, representing a branch of the house of which King George of Great Britain is the head, have been at log gerheads with the Hohenzollerns. The marriage of the Kaiser's daughter and the Dukes son heals the old wound, ends the feud, restores the duked om of Brunswick to the GueIphs and serves to strengthen the alliance be- tween the imperial families of Eng land and Germany
 All of which is a great deal to be ac- complished by young couple who merely followed the dictates of their hearts, and who are to marry for loves sweet sake alone.
