Father and Son Relations.
(Spokane Spokesman Review.

(Spokane Spokesman-ReVleW.)
One of the things that strikes an
American observer of European soci-
ETY. is the greater frequency there than
here of comradeship and close fel-
lowship between fathers and sons. IL
is especially noticeable in France and
Germany, perhaps in less degree in
England and Scotland. The relative
infrequency of it among Americans is
an undeniable loss to the family and
to our social life.
So II Is with satisfaction that one
learns that Robert E. Lewis Of the
Cleveland Y. M c. A. has started a
movement called the father and -son
movement for bringing fathers and
sons into intimate fellowship. The
mayors OF 500 cities in this country
have been asked to urge fathers to
start the new year with increased in
timacy with their sons. The heads of
communities as diverse and distant as
Bangor and Denver have expressed ap-
proval of the idea and promised COM
plianee with the request.
The thought under the movement is
a sound thought. 1t is recognition OF
the fact that on the whole the typical
American father is not In touch with
his son. This is especially the case
during the years when the boy is
growing from childhood into manhood
and most needs a fathers counsel and
wisdom. This movement. If it can
strengthen American fatherhood at a
point where it most requires re-en-
forcement will enrich, purify and
sweeten the social and household life
of the entire country

Peculiarly pathetic is the incident of
Silas Trafton's losing his life in the
fire which destroyed his Colonial home,
filled with antique furniture and heir
looms, at Georgetown Centre. Mr.. Traf-

It is good to march with a French

The regiment marches silently They
have come a long way down the

there is dust in their eyes and threats,
and they have arrived at that moment
in the march when the pack weighs
heaviest, when the shoulder straps be-
gin to rub, when the rifle seems to
wear hole in the shoulder and when
the shoe begins to pinch-an ugly mo-
ment, when black devils poke up their
heads in mems hearts.
But the best hearted man in the regi-

little joke. He begins to speak about
his captain, who is walking a yard
away from him.

German acts of kindness to the
enemies of the kaiser. Here is one 60
ing the rounds in France: A French re-
servist named Aubrey was wounded
by a shell near Nanteuil-le-Haudoui
He was found the following morning
lying helpless in a field by German
patrol. The Germans rushed upon him
with fixed bayonets, but Aubrey, fear
ing that his last hour had come, plead
ed with one gray headed German SOL
der and tried to show him by panto-
mime that he had a wife and children.
You husband and father?'' asked
the German in bad French

Germany Loses Chief Bandmaster.
The London Chronicles correspond
ent at Calais says one of the most GU
rious captures of the war was made
in the neighborhood of Ypres when the
bandmaster in chief of the German
army was taken. A good deal of doubt
at first surrounded the identity of the
much decorated individual in his gor-
geous uniform.
He carried a gold mounted baton, and
his store of music also fell into the
hands of his captors.
It was on the outskirts of Ypres that
number of soldiers came upon this
imposing functionary seated, discon-
solately and deserted, on a tree stump
by the wayside endeavoring to tie up
with his handkerchief slight wound
in his right hand. He was surrounded
and informed that he was a prisoner
This increased his detection. and he
said that he had lost his band.
The bandmaster in chief was march
ed off, but before night fell he made
an effort to escape. Though he may
know great deal about music, he
proved a child in the matter of en-
deavoring to elude his captors. so the
bandmaster in chief of the German
army remains gloomy prisoner.

FRENCH CUIRASSIER RESTING.
bishops of the Church Of England have
made marked decreases in the fees
charged soldiers for marriage licenses
and clergymen throughout the island
are waving their personal fees.
In Germany and Austria fees for
marriages were waived entirely, and in
many cities clergymen married the
warriors and their sweethearts in large
companies.
Gold wedding rings were done away
with and iron rings substituted for
the ceremony. Then the married wom-
en- who already had gold wedding rings
offered them as contributions to the
war fund and replaced them with rings
similar to those worn by the war
brides
The archbishop of Canterbury is en-
deavoring to have the government
waive the stamp fee of $3.50 which it
imposes on each marriage certificate
and diocesan bishops have reduced the
marriage license fee to $3.50 in the
case of soldiers and sailors of limited
means.
Formerly it cost $40 to procure a
marriage license properly stamped by
the government. The cost is now SIS,
and the archbishop Of Canterbury hopes
to have it lowered to $3.50.
Nearly half million recruits are
quartered in camps scattered through
out England. This new army of Hitch
ener's probably will not be sent to the
continent for at least six months.
Many weddings are occurring daily
at the various camps. and new re-
cruits and their sweethearts are often
much distressed to find that under the
English law one Of the parties to a
marriage must have resided in the par
ish in which they are married for at
least fifteen days. The archbishop of
Canterbury has suggested that this OBJ
stacle be removed by statute
