Proposal OF M. BrIeux.

Eugene Brieux, distinguished
French academician and noted play
wright, author Of Damaged Goods"
who was In America recently, has a
plan for quickly repopulating France
after the war. He urges the estab-
lishment throughout France Of Off
cial matrimonial bureaus under the di-
rection of mayors Of cities, towns and
villages. He says:
MANY young men are willing to
marry moneyless girls, and many
young girls are willing to marry poor
or mutiIated men, but the marriages
do not occur because the men and
girls do not meet. Special registers
should be kept at ali mayors Offices
where eligible young people can sign
their names and give their age and
profession, SO that anyone desiring to
marry can find life companion with
cut difficulty.
"Since we agree today that the pres
ervation of the race is the greatest
and most sacred duty, 1t is necessary
TO give all help to those inclined to
build new homes

Holy Water Instead q Wine.

Before Sonora de Riano, wife of the
Spanish ambassador, christeaed the
first warship ever built in the United
States for the Spanish government and
bestowed the name Isaac Peral on the
submarine, there took place a formal
religious ceremony. and holy water was
sprinkled on the ship. A prayer was
read as part Of this ceremony. Never
before had a warship built at Fore
River ship yard been blessed and
christened in this manner.
No spectator was more interested
than were the members Of the crew of
the Peral, who had arrived several days
before and who We're preparing to take
the ship TO Spain under its own power.

SCENE OF FAMOUS STORY
shelI.Torn Longueval viii Be Re-
membered by Many Readers for
"L'Abbe constantin."


From Longueval, at present a she'll
torn battlefield of France, the apex of
the British offensive north Of the
Somme, to the much-loved and uni
versally read novel, "Abbe Constan-
tim Of Ludovic Halevy with Its al
most absolute peace, is very long
step.
In comparison with the Longueval
Of today one thinks of the vicarage
Of Longueval of the book, with its
well-cared-for pear and peach trees,
and the simple churchyard, where Alb
be Constantin so tenderIy cared for
the graves Of his friends.
Untold hosts Of readers Of the book
will vainly try to picture the cure,
Jean Reynaud lieutenant In the Ninth
regiment of artillery, Nine. Susie
Scott, her sister, Hiss Bettina Perci-
val and Paul de Lavardens, as part
OF the countryside that has been hope-
lessly wrecked by few weeks Of
present-day warfare.
The book Is to France perfect de-
fcnse against certain radical school
Of writer's, Its family life upheld In
It's praise of Jean Reynaud and his
forbears, with 'srhere are families
like that in France, and many of them,
more than one, one ventures to say. Our
poor country Is In many respects cru
ely illuminated by certain novelists,
who draw exaggerated and distorted
pictures of It,"
One recalls the story of the sale Of
the estate of the Marquis de Longue-
val, the cure, in his simple fear Of
heretics, horror-stricken on being told
that the castle and Its lands had been
bought at auction by an immensely
wealthy American, Nine. Scott. His
fear grows on being told that she had
been q circus rider, and on Paul de Law
ardens telling him that he admired
her shoulders, those dazzling shoul-
ders, on which undu1ated a necklace
of diamonds as big as the stopper of
decanter."
Many will remember the vicarage,
where the cure first received the uri-
conventional Americans, and his hap
niness at being told that they were
to be his parishioners and were not
heretics, the scene Of the simple meal
where Jean first met Bettina and
where the cure again heard his beloved
organ played, or the terraces or gar
dcns where Jean and Bettina met so
often and where their friendship grew.
And that Ninth regiment Of artil-
leryl One thinks of its departure for
camp and Bettina running out to see
It pass, Of being shocked by the peltv
Ing rain while standing clothed In a
filmy ball dress, one piece Of foot
gear gone, caught in the mud some
distance back. Also the Church Of
Longuevnl, where Jean and Rettina
were married in spite Of his simple OBJ
iections because Of Bettlna's wealth.
At its first appearance, "rhe Able
Constantin" was received gratefully
by the French academy and brought
about the authors election to that
body.

The German church. like everything

but the clergy depend on the govern

takes binds him to obedience not only
to the kaiser but also to the state. .

A CHARITY GRAFT EXPOSED.
Some Organizations Use Most of Funds
for Running Expenses.

A typical evil in connection with a
certain kind Of charitable" work is
disclosed again i'm the report from New
York of the plans for grand jury In
vestigation of a minister who is al
legged to have collected funds as an
officer of the "alies' hospital relief
commission. According to the district
attorney. much of the money was used
in organization and expense detail, but
none has been expended for the relief
work for which it was intended.
This recalls the fight Of Pittsburgh
citizens through the chamt er of com
merce and other organizaticn cng to sup
press the professional charity collec-
tors who insisted on something like 80
per cent Of the collections for them
selves. If is impossible to view with
patience any charitable movement
that is conducted on a basis that re-
quires a large amount of the donations

Special to The World
TALIHINA, okla, Sept. 4.-The
long desired and earnestly sought for,
at last has been consummated through
the efforts of the commercial club
a definite promise from the state
board of affairs and the prison
warden to send at once thirty convicts
with guards and sufficient equipment
to build a good road over the Winding
Stair mountain. 1t is estimated that
it will require thirty men ten months
to build this road with the assistance
of seven teams. The work will COM
mence this week and will be superin-
tended by Mayor A. b. Shibley.
\ road over the mountain will
open a wide eXpanse of territory to
Talihina which has virtually been
caught off from the outside world be-
cause of the impossible condition OF
the trails leading over the mountain.
This road is to form a link for a
scenic highway from Paris, Texas, to
Fort Smith, Ark.
The secretary of the commercial
club will proceed to collect all sub
subscriptions for the work as it is
necessary to have the fund complete
at this time.

they would play it. On the other
hand, Mchlester was Just as set

i'm Alaska.

"The department of agriculture" ="
says Farm and Fireside, has Just
published q booklet OF information for
prospective settlers in Alaska. 1t will
give any intelligent reader a pretty
accurate idea in concise form Of
where to go and where not to go If he
wants to farm in Alaska; and ii is
time for people to understand that
Alaska is going to he great country.
ITO open this great country for set
tlement the government Is building
system of railroads of its own. For
the present only about a thousand
miles of these lines are to be built,
but it is fully realized that this is but
q beginning of the system. The rail-
road scheme of the new country is
likely to be the most efficient and
economical in the world. In Europe
and Asia railroads have been built
primarily to meet military require
ments; in this country they were orig
inally rather speculative. Alaska will
have its railroads laid down on scien-
tifically and economically correct
lines"
