LORD BRYCE FEARS
AIMS OF GERMANY

London-( Correspondence of the AS
ISOLATED ss.)-Viscount Bryce, for
mer ambassador at Washington, has
written an article on 1.-THE Attitude
of Great Britain in the Present War
in which he says:
I'VE in Britain who respect and
value the opinion of the free neutral
peoples of Europe and America cannot
but desire that those peoples should
be duly informed Of the way in which
we regard the circumstances and pos
sible results of the present conflict"
Lord Bryce says there are five prin-
ciples on which the aims and ideals OF
Britain In the present crisis are essen
TALLY different from those of Germany
namely, as to individual liberty; as to
nationality, which sympathizes with
the efforts Of people against foreign
dominion; as to the maintenance OF
treaty obligations; as to the regulation
of the methods of warfare in the inter.
ests of humanity; and as to pacific as
opposed to a military type of civiliza-
ton. He compares the British and
German attitude on each of these prin-
ciples. Continuing, he says:
"Our English ideal for the future is
of world in which every people shall
have within its own borders free ma.

Does the automobile which Sheriff
G. H Richmond levied on to satisfy

C. W. Hink, Moline, or his wife, Mrs.
Carrie A Hink? That is the question

surety. The sheriff levied on an auto,
which Mrs Hink claims was her per-

SUGGESTS NEW WAY
TO SECURE REVENUE

Berlin-(Correspondence Of The AS
sociated Press)-"Why could not the
state take over all copyrights upon
their eXpiration-at the end of 80
years, and thus acquire considerable
new source of revenue?' asks Alfred
Schattmann. a well known German
composer, in the current number of
the Allgemeine Musikzeitung. He
would have the state pay a reasonable
percentage of the profits to the i'm
mediate heirs, so long as any survive,
and, in proper cases, also to the pub
Usher with any vested rights. Herr
Schattmann would have the law made
retroactive, and would also apply II
to German copyrights of foreign books.
The revenue, he believes, would be
very large, and, best of all, it would
be gained with no very perceptible
burdening of the general public. An
especially large income would come
from the theatres. The tax on pieces
still protected by copyright need be
but one or two per cent after the
taking over of the expired copyright
by the state, and, under the retroactive
provisions of the law, Mozart, Weber
Lortzing, Schiller and scores of other
popular authors and composers would
be an additional source of revenue.
Schattmann sees, as a further adVan-
tage, the possibility for the state to
exercise its new powers in encourag-
ing promising talents.

But he didn't have the money to
pay for it. He would deposit So and

be returned to Chester to serve out

WAR AND j. CUPID
GO HAND IN HAND
Love Is Prospecting in France Under
Greatly Altered circumstances
Brought by Struggle.

Paris, Neutrality-suspicious. Of
the Associated Press Genuine court
ship-real love making-as an incident
to marriage is one Of the innovations
that war has brought to France. 1t
may develop into a revolution of the
marriage system, and is almost certain
in any case to be the death of much of
the red tape that has entangled, and
more or less strangled, cupid.
Marriage was hard hit during the
first months Of the war, but by reason
of the authorization of unions by
proxy and the infusion Of war ro-
nance, it is rapidly recovering.
In Paris there were only 76S mar
riages in January, 1915, as against g.
341 in January, 1914. In December,
1915, there were 1893, showing a re
markable recovery under the circum-
stances.
In a great many of these war mar
riages, it is noticed that girls without
fortune are for the time being run
ming their more favored sisters close
race, since in a great proportion of
the marriages celebrated since HOSTILE
ties began the marriage contract has
been dispensed with; no mention of
dover nor talk about money; romance
has taken the place of finance.
Wounded heroes have in hundreds
of cases fallen in love with and mar
ried their nurses; nearly every day
the story is told of some man in a
fighting regiment corresponding with
an unknown sympathizer who has come
home on leave to find that his god
mother" is worth marrying for herself.
Women and girls acting as god
mothers" to unknown correspondents
at the front have developed what is
Rock Island Argus. (Rock Island, Ill.) 1893-1920, 1916-03-28

lightly called "the f1irt at the front"
into formidable proportions, and this
is at this moment perhaps the most
efficient marriage agency in the world.
The sacrifices made by some girls mar
rying soldiers who have been blinded
or MANNED almost to the point of total
helplessness have spread the conta-
gion, and love affairs are born at every
hand by the close communion Of sym
pathetic minds centered on great
events, and through the constant
moving of soldiers coming in contact
with new faces, every one Of which
under present circumstances is bound
to be sympathetic.
Some psychologists have inquired
whether there was not in France a
crying need for deeper affection, and
whether the decreasing natality in the
country was not due in great part to
the, obstacles of marriage and the more
material considerations that always
entered into it. The soul-stirring in
cidents Of the war have unQuestion-
ably brought everyone into closer
union and there seems to have been a
general wiping out Of old scores that
kept acquaintance and even families
apart. There have been many recon-
citations through the exchange Of
news Of the exploits Of mutual friends,
and many instances of divided families
reunited over the tomb of a fallen
hero.
Young people are now being brought
together not by contract nor by the at
traction Of wealth, but simply by the
greater force now asserting itself of
asked whether 1t will continue after
the war, and what effect it will have
upon the future of France; an ideal
istic people, after being held in mate
realistic bondage so far as concerns so
vital a question to the race, is coming
out so strong in the present irresist-
ible appeal to romanticism that many
believe it will result in a transforma-
ton, if not in revolution, of the mar
riage system. Some contend that men
will marry younger and marry for love
instead of for money, will marry more
In reason and sincerity, and that with
the stronger tie of affection taking the
place OF interest, divorces will become
less while the population will grow
correspondingly more numerous.

What to do with the old Fifth ward
sewer is somewhat of problem. 1t is
a 12-inch pipe, but under present cir
cumstances it is certainly too small.
There are many downtown sp0uts
connected in that district and this Is
partly responsible for the unusual
amount Of water that flows into the
sewer. Either these will have to be
disconnected, the sewer enlarged or
another outlet will have to be provid-
ed. 1t is probable that the last course

III effects Of the wet weather Of Sat
urday and Sunday today were more
keenly felt in Rock Island when an
other landslide occurred on Thirty
eighth street and water commenced
filing the cellars in the west end.
Shortly before noon today large
volume Of earth slid from the west
embankment Of Thirty-eighth street at
a point which would be Ninth avenue
if cut through A portion Of the Au-
gusta college terrace, perhaps more
than one hundred feet long, is affected.
The earth covered the entire width
of the street and blocked traffic. The
Thirty-eighth street stub line car was
at the terminus Of the line when the
slide occurred. Passengers are forced
to walk two blocks to transfer at Sew

cars. Other traffic was forced onto
nearby streets.
This is the second time this year
that there has been a landslide on this
embankment. During the February
thaw a volume Of earth slipped to the
street, but it was not as large as the
present fall.
Commissioner j. A. MurTin today
started the sewer pump at the foot of

Because of repairs made at the gate
Of the Fifth avenue sewer the pump is
now better able to carry off the water
and it is believed that despite the ris-

as bad as earlier in the year in the
west end. A number Of cellars have
water in them but yards and streets
are not flooded.
