Paris, Sept. Is Doubts have
arisen in France as to the wisdom of
allowing members of the Chamber
Of Deputies to serve in the army and
while doing so return to Paris from
time to time and criticise the min
lister of war and the conduct of the
war. Two hundred deputies, or one
third of the membership of the low
er house of Parliament, are in active
service, some as privates but most Of
them as junior officers rarely above
the grade of captain. They were re-

OF them are restless intriguers who

men at the wront who with the right
to leave their commands for Paris at
any time the Chamber is in session

Rome, Sept. l5.-The great ex-
tent to which warfare proves an in
centive to religious devotion has been
noted in correspondence from other
belligerent countries, and Italy fur
nishes considerable more testimony
to the same effect. Indeed, with but
little exaggeration it may be said
that the Italian army divides its
spare moments between singing and
praying 1t is believed In Italy that
King Victor's troops are the gayest
and most light-hearted in all the
war, for they always go into battle
singing. Their first thought on re-
turning from struggle, however, is
a mass for the repose of the souls Of
comrades whom they had had to
leave behind on the field. The most
popular song in the camps. after the
devout services are over, Is "Addio
Mia Bella" Goodbye, My Love).
The religious enthusiasm in the
army is also reflected in the fact that
So many of the Roman Catholic
clergy have rallied around the flag
The military authorities have ex-
pressed themselves as greatly pleased
over this, for some of them had en-
tertained doubt that the clergymen
were staunch patriots. but they have
proved that they are ready to give
their lives as willingly for their
country as any other class of citi-
zens.

JAPANESE BRIDES NOT TO
BE CHOSEN FROM PHOTOGRAPHS
(By Associated Press. }

Toxic, Sept. Is. Choosing Jap-
anese brides by pictures is no longer
desirable, according to Mr.. S. va
makami. a Japanese newspaperman
of Seattle, who has just returned to
the United States with eleven girls
who will marry Japanese emigrants.
Eugenics is the basis of selection
now, he holds. In former days the
custom has been for the emigrant to
send for the girl whose picture he
liked.
When Mr.. Yamakami reached ia
pan he received applications from
twenty-nine girls who wished to go
to America to marry Japanese la
borers and he selected eleven pros
pective brides from among them. Mr..
Yamakami discarded the old picture
bride arrangement. He made a
thorough examination of eachwould-
be bride as to education and physi-
cal conditions. He chose only ro-
bust women.
Mr.. Yamakami laments the fact
that promising young Japanese men
are liable to deteriorate after hav-
ing amassed wealth" in America,
and he attributes this demonaliza-
tion to the difficulty of finding suit
able wives.
BY supplying wives of the better
class he proposes to help the moral
conditions of the Japanese emigrants
In America.
