thor Of "Quo Vadis," is. like tens Of

driven from home by the war.
He rs now at Vevey with the men,
bers of the committee on relief for
war victims in Poland, of which he is
president, and Ignace Paderewski, the
famous pianist, is vice president.
No more appalling picture of death,
destruction and devastation has ever
been drawn than that outlined by
Sienkiewicz, who declares it is unique
In history. He said:
Poland has nothing to do with the
war. Conquered and partitioned, she
Is not one Of the belligerent nations,
yet 100000 Of her sons are fighting
fratricidal battles in the armies of
three different warning states. Our
country is made a cockpit and is de-
vastated from end to end.
Think what this means when the
order for charge is given. Hordes
Of soldiers rush on each other, and
when they get within striking distance
commence cutting one another down.
They find the language in which they
are uttering imprecations is the COM

She walked from Warsaw to Lem
berg, passing over places where there
had been hard fighting and gathering
mementos. From Lemberg she went
to the outskirts Of Cracow. She says
she became obsessed with the idea that
her sweetheart had been killed on the
battlefield there. and she wandered for
several days over it, hoping to find
some trace Of him.
She called her experience might

French Scientist Academy Sees Cause

Paris.-The problem Of repopulation
of France is receiving the atten-
ton Of the Academy Of Moral and
Political Sciences. Figures were read
at a meeting Of the academy showing
that the number Of births annually in
. the country in the last twenty years
fell from 100000 to 10000.
1t is estimated if a proportionate de.
crease should continue for another
twenty years the future military class,
es would be 10000 less than the classes
of 1914, 1915 and 1916.
The question was considered so vital
1t was suggested that important ad-
vantaCes should be accorded fathers
Of families having numerous children,
and that the idea be generalized that
the normal family comprises three chill
dren.
1t was suggested that the heads of
such families be allowed to share in q
proposed recompense.

came slightly irritated. Nevertheless.
the list was furnished.
AS Washington looks at it, Mr.. Gard
ner has mapped out a pretty big task
for himself. Inquiries by friends re-
Gently drew from him the smiling in
formation that he had been so busy on
the shipping and immigration bills that
he hadn't time to think much about
the dinner. but that he intended to go
through with it.
There is one feature, however, that
is causing Mr.. Gardeners friends con-
siderable merriment, the matter OF
transportation. The list shows that
there will be one fare to be paid from
Porto Rico, two from San Francisco,
another from Pike county, Pa; ten
from New York and Brooklyn and
others from indianapolis and West
Philadelphia. But Mr.. Gardner is rich
enough to humor his whim.
He has peculiar twinkle in his eyes
at all times. and he gives the impress
sion of being constantly on the point
of strangling good joke lest his con-
gressional dignity be lowered by the
telling: OF late when anybody men,
tons the reserve army dinner his eyes
sparkle more than ever, and Washing
ton Is about equally divided in opinion
as to whether the dinner will ever
come off.
At first there was general impress
sion that Mr.. Gardner In some subtle
way was trying to kid" the war de-
partment and that the war department
resented the attempt. If this was
true the department has had a sudden
change Of heart. for inquiries concern
ing the reserve army, its origin. num-
Der, location. etc.. have been answered
with the greatest good will.
Recently it has developed that the
reserve army once consisted Of seven.
teen men. but last year a reservist
was dropped at his own request to en-
able him to join the navy.
Authority for the creation Of q re-
serve army was given in the 1912
army appropriation act, and the pro-
vision became effective Nov. 1, 1912.
From that time on the war depart
ment raised its enlistment periods
from four years to seven, and 1t was
provided in each enlistment contract
that the soldier serve four years with
the colors and the remaining three
years on reserve, subject to call in
event of war.
This is the invitation that Mr. Gard
ner sent to each member Of the re-
serve army:
my Dear Sir-I am contemplating
inviting the members of the reserve
army Of the United States to be my
guests at dinner in washington. and
so toy have the pleasure Of meeting
each one in person. and I write to ask
whether it is likely that you could be
present.
IF your engagements are such as
to make it impossible for you to be
in washington at that time I would
appreciate it If you would send me
short sketch Of yourself and your
service in the army, together with a
photograph.
Il hope. however, that you will be
able to be present and that the dinner
may be made an informal little re-
union Of the reserve army"
