MARITAL REFORMS.

The war has prompted Frenchmer
to seriously discuss a proposition to
abolish the "marriage-and.dowry'
contract. 1t is remarkable that 50
chivalrous people as the French
haven't long since eliminated this
dowry relic of barbarism.
Why should any girl, anywhere,
with all the qualities for wifehood,
be barred simply because she or her
folks cannot hand over property to
the bridegroom, under a contract that
could be properly defined as a bill OF
sale?
The basis for this French institu
ton is wholly false. if not positively
dishonorab1e. To be sure, we see Am
erican girls marrying foreigners un'
der contract for the passing of money
consideration, but there is no falsity
in our case; our marriages for title
are plainly marked with the honest
plain.spoken &C. O. D." The French
in passing money at the altar, seem
to feel that the bridegroom should be
paid for some sacrifice he is making.
Maybe war is raising the estimate
put on women. >,','''

DON'T Be HARSH.

1.-THE world owes me a living!"
How often the maker of that remark
is lazy, good.for-nothing fellow with
an empty head and no conception
whatever Of the value or Joy Of good,
hard work.
But don't condemn him yet!
The world did owe him proper
start. Did he get it?
Perhaps }1e did-but more likely he
didn't.
The man who has proper start
physically, mentally. morally-doesn't
often degen crate into the worthless
street corner wilmer who declaims,
"The world owes me a living"
Every child, girl or boy, rich or
poor, black or red or white, is enti-
tied to pure food, clean clothes, fresh
air, sound sleep; to instruction that
will equip him to collect his living
and little joy besides; and to knowl-
edge of the difference between right
and wrong.
Don't be too hard on the man who
believes the world owes him a living.
1t doesn't, of course-but perhaps it
owes him other things.

While wispy. gray. faded hair is

European factories will no doubt be

America will be called upon to fur

rine have shifted the boundaries of
the war zone closer to our shores.
The sinking of merchantmen a short
distance from the peaceful harbors of
United States presents another inter
esttng phase of the war. A profound
impression has been created by the
daring cruise of the. submarine.
Facts are meagre concerning the
construction and operation of the lat
est,itype of the Teuton's undersea
cnftc lit isVkhown generally that
they can be stocked with provisions
snd other supblles, including fuel, to
last two, or three. months. Just how
many stnrpedoes they can carry is q
military secret. There is no reason
why supply submarines cannot be
commissioned to assist those actively
engaged in the work of destruction.
The trip can be made from the Ger.
man base to an American port in sew
enteen days. When the U.53 arrived
at Newport, it was fully provisioned
for three months and did not require
fuel or so much as jug Of water.
The trip of the Deutschland and the
spectacular maneuvers Of the German
submarines In our own waters merely
anticipate a determined effort on the
part Of the Teutons to harass ship
ments of war supplies from America
and Canada. -.
For the first time in the history OF
the war of the nations, the booming
of the belligerents' guns were heard
at Newport and other Atlantic points.
Will Germany be successful in her
attempt to interfere with shipments
to the Allies from ports of the United
States and Canads: Her premier at
tempt was spectacularly successful.
Must England loosen her grip on the
North Sea in order to prevent unim.
peded the flow of munitions and other
supplies to the Allies?,
Between June 1 and September "a
submarines have sunk 277 vessels Of
all nationalities, according to dis.
patches received in Washington on
September 80. OF those, fifteen we're
reported sunk without warning, with
the loss of eighty-four lives. Sixty.
six neutral vessels were destroyed
during that period. This shows that
the submarine activity has practically
doubled during the last two months.
During June, after delivery of the
American note on the Sussex, accept.
ing Germany's agreement not to sink
vessels without proper safeguard to
lives on board. fifty seven vessels
were sunk, of which five were neutral
and six,including three neutrals, were
sunk without warning, with the loss
of twenty-five lives. In July the to
tai sunk fell off to forty-two, includ
ing nine neutrals and two British
sunk without warning with the loss OIL
forty-one lives. In August the tota
sunk more than doubled, with the fig
ure of 1903, including twenty-six neu.
trail vessels. Two allied boats were
sunk without warning with the loss
of three lives.
