The Social Problem
of the Excess of Widows.

The existence Of such an abnormal num-
Der Of widows must necessarily create Pc
culiar problems in society. These are con-
siderably complicated by the fact that most
Of the widows are young Army officers
themselves are, as q rule, young, and It is
especially on the young officers, the com
pany and section leaders, that the NOR
tality in war falls most heavily. Hence the
widows that are left must be, in the great
majority Of cases, young also.
There is already considerable pecunIary
distress among the war widows, and it will
become more and more marked for some
time TO come. Women even Of the upper
classes in England are not very well sup
piled with incomes, for most of the money
in the family must go to the man who has
the duty Of keeping up the family prop
erty. IN many cases the woman widowed
by the war will see the property she has
enjoyed pass out OF her hands, in some
cases &c a distant relative
The pensions given TO the widows OF
officers are, of course, very small and DO
not suffice to keep anyone in a good So
cial position.
L IS also to be noted that great distress
IS apparently in prospect for all the noble
families OF England, whether men or
women. It is expected that those who
enjoy fixed incomes derived from estates
and other property will find them greatly
reduced by the enormous taxation needed
to pay for the war. Observers believe
that there viii be more or less Of a social
revolution and that the places Of the pre-
viOus leaders Of society will be taken by
newly rich families who have made for
tunes out Of war contracts or who have
been enterprising enough in some way TO
make money during the period Of distress.
The experience Of the past suggests that
these people viii, in turn, acquire titles
and form an aristOcracy as distinguished
as the preceding.

EUROPEAN high society has become 8

EUROPEAN high society has become 8
community Of widows.
This fact becomes even more In
teresttng when It is added that the widows
are usually young and frequently good
looking.
Their sorrows, their doings and their
future furnish problems OF much general
interest
The dreadful slaughter caused by the
war has fallen with especial heaviness on
the upper and the wealthy classes. They
furnish the officers and these have lost
more heavily in battle, In proportion to
their numbers, than the men
The loss has been particularly marked
n high society in England, for the British
officers are always men OF means and
members Of the upper and wealthy classes.
More than two thousand British officers
have been killed since the beginning Of
the war. This, Of course, is a large num-
Der Of men to remove from one class OF
the community, and their absence is sorely
'elt
A French review Of the war has estt
mated the losses Of German officers at the
enormous number Of 10000. While the
French claim that they have lost fewer
than the Germans, it is hardly likely that
they have lost less than 10000 or two
thirds OF the number they give for their
opponents.
It is probably accurate to say that every
royal, noble and prominent family in the
belligerent countries has lost some mem
Der. The King Of England, the Gar Of
Russia and the Kaiser have all lost near
relatives. The son Of a former President
Of France has been killed.

Lady juliet Duff, daughter Of the late
Earl Of Lonsdale, has lost her husband, Sir
Robin Duff. who was killed while fighting
with the Life Guards, the premier regi-
ment Of the British Army. Lady Juliet,
who Is very prominent and popular in
English society, is really very handsome,
but her very striking figure and strongly
marked features lend themselves rather
easily to caricature. as may be judged from
a Well-known artists sketch Of her.
Mrs William Lawrence Breese IS an
American war widow, whose husband also
was an American, which can be said Of
very few Of the American women widowed
by the war. Her husband, who belonged
to a prominent New York family, strongly
sympathized with the allied cause and had
many relatives in England. After the war
broke out he obtained commission in the
Royal Horse Guards and was killed few
days after going to the front. Mrs. Breese
was Miss Julia Kean Fish, daughter Of
Hamilton Fish, and niece Of Stuyvesant
Fish.
The Honorable Mrs. Percy Wyndham is
one Of the most beautiful young English
women widowed by the war. She Is a
daughter Of Lord RibblesdaIe. She was
only married last year and has become a
mother since her husband, who was very
young, was killed with the Grenadier
Guards. He was a half-brother Of the

Young Casimir Perier was a son Of
former President Casimir Perier and a
member Of a very wealthy family. At
first society, which is more conservative in
France than in England, was shocked at
the marriage, but the two lived very happy
together and Casimir Perier had won a
distinguished public position before his
death.

way to cure it so it will stay cured and

only temporary relief by opening up for q
while the clogged head. throat and nostrils
In a little time the Catarrh comes back as
bad as ever
People who suffer continually from Ca
tarrh should drop such temporary make
shifts and get something that really gets al
the root of the disease and stamps it out.

i335, laborer, from drowning, Chappells,
S. c., March 16, 1912. Nneece and
three other men attempted to cross
the flood waters of the Saluda river and
their boat was upset. Kneece grabbed
a limb of a tree and clung to it in
the main current of the stream. A
man WHO rescued two Of Kneece's COM
panions said it would be impossible
to reach Kneece Hamilton and a
companion set out in a fat-bottomed
boat, witch leaked; and Hamilton,
using paddle, got the boat to a tree
above Kneece, close to the edge of the
swift current His companion un-
dressed there, and the water was
bailed from the boat. Hamilton then
padded vigorously against the current
and drifted to a position beside Kneece.
He and ,.is compinion held the boat
by grasping branches and vines, and
Kneece grasped the gunwale and rolled
over the side The bow dipped, and
considerable water was shipped, but
the bottom of the boat struck limb
and was prevented from sinking far
ther. Hamilton padded strenuously
and reached quiet water and then the
bank at a point 500 feet downstream
from where he4cad gotten Kneece.

LOST SUBMARINE
NAY BE RAISED
Body Believed to Be Lost Boat is
Only an Old AnchOr-EffOrt is
Renewed Today.

Honolulu, March 28--Hope of rails
ing the United States submarine F-4,
submerged outside the harbor since
Thursday morning, was revived again
tonight when vessels engaged in the
rescue work reported they finally had
located TIE missing craft in which 81
persons are believed to have perished.
Three days search for the lost
submarine has resulted only in unful-
filed hopes. Divers who went down
the two cables thought to have been
attached to the submarine found the
heavy body was an old anchor, prob.
ably lost by the battleship Oregon.
The water is so deep at the point
M:ere the F-4 is said to have disap-
peared that navy officers asserted to-
day without diving apparatus which
would permit men to go down 800 feet,
the task of locating the craft and lift
ing it, if it is found, will present great
mechanical difficulties.
wv c. Parks, civil engineer, has
started construction of an immense
diving bell, a 540-inch cast pipe, seven
feet in height, fitted with plate glass
port, witch is expected to be ready
for duty by noon tomorrow.
