LONDON, Oct. 14.-Uneasiness is felt
news concerning concerted allied ac
tion in the Balkans. This is intensi-
fed by news of the dispute in the
French chamber of deputies in regard
to the Balkan danger by Italy's per
sistent silence regarding participation
in the expedition and by the uncertain
ty concerning the British program.
Opinion is divided to some extent as
to the advisability of taking part in
the Balkan conflict. The general opin-
ion is that Great Britain is morally
bound to assist Serbia if this can be
done without dangerous attenuation of
the main front, where, it is felt, the
war will finally be decided, notwith-
standing the Balkan diversion.
Having failed in their attacks on the
British positions on the western front
the Germans have turned on the French
and have made gains cast of Souchez
The advantage is not of sufficient i'm

tion cf the French.
On the western front the Russians
are now in full possession of the mi

LEAGUE FOR MARRYING
OF BROKEN HEROES
Started by a Clergyman, Who Wants
English Women Thus to Sac
rihce Themselves.

LONDON, Oct 14-The Rev. Ernest
Houghton, a Bristol rector, has issued
an appeal to patriotic women of the ma
tion to give their lives to ameliorate
the condition of manned heroes of the
war by marrying them. He has launch
ed League for the Marrying of
Broken Heroes
Mr.. Houghton contends that the ex-
ample of France shows that unions
thus arranged promise a greater per-
centage of happiness than is customary
from the methods in England, because
they are based upon a high degree of
unselfishness.
Strict secrecy is promised as to the
identity of women prepared to imlmo-
late themselves after the plan of the
league until the arrangements for their
marriage are complete.
