child marriages are laying the foun-
dations for new sources of vice and
crime. A campaign of education on
the question of early marriages is ur-
gently needed"
Perhaps some of you think that
to thus delay marriages would be to
Largely increase the immortality among
the unmarried. Heretofore you have
based your judgment in such matters
on common sense, but / am telling
you now that there is sound scien-
tific reason, heretofore overlooked
why such marriages are an injury to
the race. The injury is not to those
who marry, but those who come after
them. The product of those early
marriages is the first step in the pro-
duction of those forms of vice which
we always have upon our shoulders
to eradicate.
I am not asking that all marriages
be delayed to the age of Is or 80
years. That may or may not come in
the future when we know more than
we do now. but at present I am asking
that we put stop to he marriage of
chlldren--a sop to that kind Of repro
duction which breeds the mentally
and morally unfit

GREAT MEN SONS
OF OLD PARENTS
@. L. Redfield OF Chicago, Holds Tha
Early Marriages Are Conducive
to immortality.


San Francisco, July 20.-Contrary
to popular beliefs that early marriages
are particularly conducive to morality,
G. L. Redfield, of Chicago, addressina
the International Purity Congress
here yesterday declared that they
We're more conducive to immortality.
The biographies of the great men
OF the world, particularly the moral
and religious reformers, furnished
evidence, he said, that great men
were the sons of old parents who had
done much work. Confucius, who
was born when his father was ~
years of age; Buddha, whose mother
was As when he was born; Moses
whose three generations of ancestors
spanned 185 years; and King David
who was the son of Jesse's old age:
and who became the father Of solo
mon when So years old, were some
instances he cited.
In contrast, in this age, in This
country, he pointed to- the widespread
practice Of marrying young-so
young that In many states grooms In
knickerbockers and brides in short
dresses were even recognized by law,
and said:
IT say to you, positively. that these

London, July 20.-The Berlin Nord

purports to be the details Of the nego-
tiations In 1912 looking to an Anglo
German rapprochment, in which Wis
Scount Haldane, then British secretary
Of state for war. took prominent
part. The substance of the article is
published "in order to disprove Wis
count Haldane's statement that his ef-
forts for peace were frustrated by
Germany.
according to an official statement
ahe newspaper points out, Germany
offered different forms Of neutrality.
The frst draft of the treaty ran:
Should one Of the contra citing par
ties become engaged in war with one
or more powers. then the other con-
tracing party shall adopt at least an
attitude of benevolent neutrality and
exert every effort to Iocalize the con-
fiict.''
Englands Counter Proposal.
- England declined to accept this,
and made the following counter-pro-
posal:
ENGLAND shall make no unpro-
voked attack on Germany and shall
refrain from aggressive policy with
regard to Germany. An attack on /
Germany forms the basis of no treaty,
nor is such object aimed at In any
combination to which England be-
longs and England will not be a party

such an attack"

Suddenly. almost simultaneously. the
American patrols were driven back all
along the line. On a front that eX-
tended quickly. irresistibly, clear across
Washington county, Rhode Island.
from east to wet the invader army
expanded. 1t seized Watch Hill. King
ston was occupied in force. Wexford
Junction was occupied, Narragansctt
Pier was flooded all at once with men
and guns.
With the swiftness OF blow from

and won the entire railroad system
of the New York, New Haven and
Hartford Railroad in Rhode Island and
commanded the way to Providence.
The foe had filled his divisions
Forty thousand men were ready for
battle on American soil, with 10000

nearly equal to his own. He knew too
that the invader had brought up pre-
pondcring artillery. Every road
every piece of negotiable country, was
held by guns.
The American army held tight. In
its front between it and the foe, there
was not rail line, not a bridge. All
had been destroyed. Behind it lay
perfect railroad system, with long
trains and giant locomotives under
steam. and all the gathered motor vc-
