PARIS, Oct. (By mail to New
York 1.-The real wounded in this war
have not yet been born.
Madelaine is q splendid little French
girl, whose father keeps a store.
have known her for some years Her
friends, year ago. told me that
Madelaine was saving money for her
dot, when she was to marry Andre.
a young French athlete.
But Andre was killed, some weeks
ago. And all the chances are that
Madelaine and Henri, who was Andres
brother, will be married.
Henri is hatchested The army
didn't want him because he couldn't
get enough air in his lungs to march
mile. His eyes are weak and all
the tissues OF his body seem to have
been made OF inferior stun.
It's almost certain that the real
wounded was not Andre: with the
punctured lung that killed him; nor
Madelaine with the broken heart.
The real wounded will be the little
children. yet unborn, who will call
Henri papa"
Everywwhere you 90 in Europe, In
the capitals and country towns, you
see the weak men who have been
wooded out; the army that couldn't
fight
And whenever you think OF this
army you think OF that other silent
army OF the real wounded who are
marching down through eternity to be
born in Europe-the sons and daugh-
tiers Of weak men.
They will be brought into the world
without the strong bodies that they
have a right to; they will struggle
through their wounded lives, suffering
more sorrow and pain than any strong
soldiers will suffer on the battlefields
OF 1914; suffering the pangs Of men
and women who fail in life because
OF weak bodies.
I have been at the front in both
Belgium and France and have seen
the wounded and the dead l have
seen all the sad pomp Of military fun
erals; have seen little children cry
ing because daddy was dead; have
bands place in their company's ranks
and march there behind the casket to
the rude burying ground l have been
sad about it all.
But to me there is something sad
der yet and something that arouses
more pity than 1 have found for the
orphans and widows and that is the
awful army of the real wounded that
is yet unborn.
In Paris see the splendid women
OF France, waiting-for what? Almost
surely for news that their men are
dead
The women of Belgium are waiting.
also: and the women Of Russia and
England and Austria and Germany.
And when the woman's task falls on
them Of repopulating their devastated
countries they must mate with the
leavings, with the remnants Of the
strong manhood of their native lands.
didn't see the full horror OF the
war In Europe until began to under
stand that the real wounded are yet
unborn
Whatever strength Madelaine's chill
dren have will come from her.
There are millions OF Madelaines in
Europe and I'm beginning to believe
that. in spite Of the might Of the giant
armies; the real strength of Europe
will be found in the women, after all,
when the future Of Europe is consid-
cred.

What . Moratorium Is.

The general announcement in Europe
OF moratorium for commercial OBJ
legations Indicates the great gravity OF
conditions which exist in the money
market and the market for exchange
1t is not within the memory OF any
one living that an official moratorium
has been adopted for debts due In eng
land. 1t has always been the PROUD
boast of English finance that drai'
on London represented gold and that
this was not true of any other financial
center.
A moratorium. properly speaking
applies to the maturity OF drafts anc
bills of exchange. In this country
where one-name paper and other forms
of pronisory notes are SO largely USED
in lieu Of bills Of exchange. it would
be necessary to extend the moratorium
to such paper in order to AFFORD nee
essary relief to debtors.
The most important legal question
involved is whether the burden OF de-
Law and possible loss should fan upon
the holder OF bill OF exchange or up
IN the indorsers. This depends upon
whether the holder is debarred by the
moratorium from protesting the paper
at once and taking the usual steps &c
collect it from the indorsers in case o.
inability Of the debtor to pay, of whetn-
err he should have immediate recourse
IN the indorsers and thus cast upor
them the burden Of finding the means
Of payment.
