All that afternoon one came across
Irishmen talking to other Irlshmen. re-

and the police were making no attempt
to stop them.
The first meeting of the heralded Neu-
trality League was scheduled for the
next day. Early on Monday morning the
notice had been covered up by civic
notice with some reference to the water
works. An hour later the Neutrality
posters were uppermost. Again the local
posters superseded them and the game
Kept UP until the hour of the meeting.
PATRIOTISM STIRRED.
But the talk was merely full of rem
iniscences and sentiment until the one
woman on the platform got up. She was
the Countess Markiewics, an Irish girl
from Sligo, and the leader of the Boy
Scout movement She had recently been
arrested and when her house was
searched the cablegram read that printing
presses with which the latest incendary
papers had been published were confis-
Gated by the Government.
The Countess came to a point after
the first onslaught on the English Gov
ernment.
DO you men of Ireland know what
you are talking? It's treason! And are
you ready to live up to It?
And the crowd got up as one man and
cheered and wept.

European states by making polygamy
legal. When the proportion of males
and females had been readjusted by
the coming of later generations these
laws were repealed.
For the time being the European
parliaments are too occupied with
matters affecting the continuation Of
the war, but expressions on the subject
agree that some sort of legislation Will
be necessary.
Several writer's point out that it will
take two generations before the old
social equilibrium is reestablished. The
tendency of men to marry women
younger than they themselves are is
held responsible for this. Usually the
man marries a woman from three 10
live years his junior, and some author
tiles fear that greater choice, which
the excess of women will give, will
decidedly foster this inclination, so
that only the girl who today is from
twelve to thirteen years old can hope
to be the subject of competition among
men which her mother was.

seven to eight years for most of Eu-

loss of many young men who are now
from fifteen to sixteen years old the
problem would be much harder to
meet In that case the excess of wo-
men over men would be no less than
eleven millions. so that for every male
of marriage age, during the next ten
years, there would be almost two sin
sic women.
1t is impossible to say just how Eu-
ropean legislation will meet the situa-
ton. Legal polygamy is so unwel
come to Europe's social system, and
religion that opposition to it will be
graf The belief is held for this reas-
on, that legally at least illegitimacy
will be abolished and that laws will
be passed giving the children born out
of wedlock every right upon the care
and property of its father 1t is argued
that this measure of expediency would
meet the situation easily, and that it
would violate no social arrangement
now in force, giving in it's most ex
creme application nothing but an ex-
preston to a tendency which has man
ifested itself in Europe for several
years past.

EUROPE FIGURES ON
FUTURE Of PEOPLE
IN MARRIAGE PLAN

VIENNA, Oct. 25.-"Whether or not
Europe will be obliged to change its
marriage laws as the result of the war,
is a question which has recently &C.
cupied sociologists on the Central
States. Most of them are of the opin-
ion that material notifications must
ensue; few think that legalized poly
gamy must be established in order to
provide for the surplus of women
which two years of warfare has made
one of the problems of all Europe.
The total population of the states at
war, the non-Arian elements of Russia
excepted, is roughly 373,00O,O0O of
which, according to best sources, 1885,
100000 are women and 1856 100000 men.
For the countries of Europe where 3x-
act statistics are available, the proper
ton is 105 males to 107 females. For
Europe this leaves in normal times an
excess of three million females of
which a third would be manageable.
To this million women who at pres
ent can find no husband for the reason
that nature, while ensuring an excess
in the birth of males permits more of
them to die in infancy, will be added at
least eight million whom death on the
battlefield and incapacitating wounds
has also deprived of mates. Europe,
therefore, is face to face with the ques-
ton of how these nine million women
are to be cared for.
Part is Solved.
Economically the problem has been
solved by the women themselves, by
showing that in many departments of
industry they are able to fill place.
But sociologists point out that, except
the state makes provision tending to
avert this, certain natural law would
increase greatly the rate of illegit-
imacy of children, which even now is
serious matter.
At the conclusion of the Thirty
Years War, similar conditions prevail
eo. 1t was met in many of the Central

WASHINGTON, Oct. 25.-Bids for
the first fifty-eight ships to be laid
down in 1917 as part of the greater
navy building program are being open
ed today at the navy department. Con-
gress has authorized the beginning of
Sc ships in 1917 as the first install
ment of the 1916 authorized for the navy
increases.
Vessels for which estimates of pri-
vate bidders were examined today in
clude four battleships, four scout
cruisers, twenty destroyers, and thirty
coast submarines. Early in December
bids will be opened for four battle
cruisers and at a later date figures will
be received on one ammunition ship.
Under the terms of the naval bill all
the 1917 ships must be contracted for

First 16-Inch Guns.


The four battleships will be the first
of the American navy to carry 16-inch
rifles in their main batteries. Each
will be equipped with eight of these big
guns-the heaviest known to have been
placed aboard warcraft although it is
currently reported that Great Britain
is preparing to arm an experimental
ship with 18-inch rifles.
Until names have been selected the
ships will be known as Nos. 45, As, Al
and 48. They will be similar in ap-
pearance and general design to the
superdreadnoughts Tennessee and Cal
ifornia, now under construction, but
will be 600 tons heavier in displace-
ment, totalling $4,000 tons. The addi-
tional tonnage is due to more torpedo
protection and side armor.
The ships are expected to have a
cruising radius of nearly 1000 sea
miles without refueling. They viii
have the steam-electric drive and make
at least 81 knots.
In addition to the 16-inch rifles, the
new ships will carry eighteen 5-inch
torpedo defense guns, four of the new
high range 3-inch anti-aircraft guns
and the usual equipment of torpedo
tubes. Their main batteries will be
mounted two guns to a turret, depart
ing from the three gun turret con-
strurtion on the Pennsylvania and lat
e, ships.
Americus times-recorder. [volume] (Americus, Ga.) 1891-current, 1916-10-25
First Scout Boats.

The scout cruisers will be first
scouts, designed for that work alone,
to be added to the navy. The old light
cruisers Salem, Chester and Birming
ham, known as scout cruisers, have
not the speed necessary for modern
sea picket.
The scouts will make a sustained
speed of IS knots All hour. They will
look like big destroyers and be nearly
six times as large as the greatest tor
pedo craft, displacing 100 tons and
having a length of $50 feet. The mass
of machinery necessary to drive them
at express train speed will be covered
by light armor and each will carry
eight long range 6-inch rifles, two g.
inch anti-aircraft guns and four tor
pedo tubes.
The most striking new feature of the
ships will be the installation of cata-
putt devices which will permit the
launching of hydro-aeroplanes in any
weather. Each scout will be fitted to
, carry four aircraft to extend her range
of observation.
The twenty new destroyers will be
virtually the same in design as the lat
est craft of the type laid down except
that they will have a maximum speed
under full load of So knots an hour, an
increase of nearly five knots over the
present high speed mark of the Amer
lean flotilla. The boats are expected
to be as fast as any destroyers afioat
They will carry four 4-inch guns EACH
two 3-inch anti-aircraft guns and four
triple torpedo tubes, giving each boat
broadside fire of twelve 21-inch tor
pedoes, the most deadly naval weapons
ever devised.
Of the 80 submarines q will be OF
the coast defense type, substantially
similar to the L-type boats now in
commission. Improvements and re-
finements of design have been made
but in the main, the present type has
been duplicated in the interest Of
speedy construction. They will have
new features but their nature had not
! been disclosed beyond the fact that all
will carry disappearing 9-inch rifles
| for surface use.
The Big Submarines.
The other three Submarines will vary
il size between 500 and 1900 tons.
Each will be essentially different type
from the others as it is planned TO
make them experimental feet submar-
ines to accompany the battle fleet on
the high seas. The sea going quail
