CURANS PLAN TO MAKE
 DIVORCE LAW OF LAND

HAVANA. July 8. - Among import ant pieces of legislation now engaging the attention of the Cuban congress are bills legalizing divorce and giving to married women the control of their property. It appears questionable whether there Is any very strong de- mand for the passage of the former law, and it Is said that many of the best Cuban women are opposed to the institution of divorce as being con trary to the tenets of their religion
 and repugnant to the traditions oi Cuban society. The other bill has strong feminine support, but 1t is felt that owing to absorption of interest in the coming presidential campaign. neither measure has much chance of passage during the present session of congress.

GERMAN WOMEN WILL DRESS
 PLAINLY

BERLIN, July 5. The campaign of the Munich police president, Of various generals commanding home departments, and of thirtyfiye wo- mans clubs, against women who dress too modishly and conspicuously does not meet undivided approval Many newspapers have been printing edi- torials and letters from their read CTS protesting against the effort to modify feminine dress. One of these protestants is an officer of battery of artillery in France, who writes:
 He who has experienced for him. self at the front something of the much discussed gravity of the times does not wish at any price to sell all the beauty and joy of life destroyed by an ashengray Puritanic mood. We think with gratitude of the women whose beauty our soul delighted in during the short rest at home from the burdens of the war. and we for bid, with all the straightforwardness of the soldier at the front, that any one, even in his thoughts, accuse these women of lacking a proper apprecia- tion of the earnestness of war. You should ask the furloughed men, from general down to private, whether they would like to see Germany populated merely with spectacles from those thirty-five woman's clubs.
