LOOSE MORALS IN RUssIb
Marriage Vows Are Broken on Lest
Provocatlon and Severing of Bonds
Is Very Common

Morals In Russian society are get
ting very loose, the sanctity of mar
riage is being challenged by too great
a facility for obtaining divorce. Many
girls marry in haste to get their in
dependence, and look upon their first
matrimonial venture as step to bet
ter themselves in the future, writes a
correspondent. It seems paradoxical,
but 1t is nevertheless a fact that it
is far easier for married woman than
for a spinster to find a husband.
The breaking off of an engagement
creates scandal, but the severing of
matrimonial bonds is becoming quite
the usual thing. The most insignifi-
cant misunderstanding causes husband
and wife to break their marriage VOWS
and go their different ways Gossips
chatter about impending divorces as
much as Of budding engagements. In
Russia a divorced woman does not
lose a tithe Of her reputation, if no
outrageous scandal attaches to her di-
vorce. Should she marry again, she
returns to society with her new hus-
band and enjoys all the prerogatives
of her new position. The victims of
this state of things are the unfortu-
nate children.

GENERAL GROSvENOR
CROSSES THE DIVIDE
Member of Congress Twenty
Years; Was Prominent in
Ohio G. @. P.

Athens.-Gen. Charles H. Grosve.
nor, "a, former representative from
the eleventh Ohio district, died at
his home here after a long illness.
Gen. Grosvenor, many years a
noted figure in Republican politics in
Ohio and for 20 years a member of
congress- had been failing in health
several years, and with the exception
of an occasional appearance in court
in the practice of his professional law
duties, had rarely left his home
He had not taken an active part in
political affairs in Ohio since 1906,
when he was defeated for congress in
his district by Albert Douglas of Chill
icothe.
Gen. GrosVenor was a native of Con-
necticut, born at Pomfret, Sept. %,
/ 1888, of Revolutionary stock. His
father moved in 1888 to Athens coun-
ty, Ohio. He began the study of law,
and in 1857 was admitted to the bar.
Before entering political life he dis
tinguished himself as one of the ablest
lawyers in his section of the state, and
never abandoned his law Office from
the day he was admitted to the bar to
the day Of his death.
In 1874 he was elected to the Ohio
house of representatives and on re-
election was chosen speaker Of that
body. He entered national politics as
member of the forty-ninth congress
in 1885, and served three terms. He
was again elected in 1898 and served
continually from the f1fty-third to the
| ffty-ninth congress inclusive.
| His party chose him as a presiden-
tial elector in 1876 and 1880, and he
was honored with election as a dele
gate-at-large to the Republican nation
al conventions of 1896 and 1900.
Gen. Grosvenor was twice married.
His second wife, Mrs. Louise Gros-
venor, with their three daughters,
Grace and Constance and Mrs. Louise
Leep of Portsmouth, survive.
Funeral services with Masonic hon
ors was held in Athens.

Chevrons of Honor.

The French are quick to bestow SYM
bOls of honor on soldiers who perform
deeds of self-sacrifce or daring. More
than any other of the allies, perhaps,
they recognize the value of emblems
of service.
Among the many I1eat little marks
upon the French uniforms that indi-
cate the rank and the department of
the wearer, says Sir A. Conan Doyle
in "A Visit to Three Fronts" there
was one that puzzled me. 1t was to
be found on the left sleeve of men of
all ranks, from generals to privates
and it consisted of small gold chev-
rons, one, two, or more. No rule seem
ed to regulate them, for the general
might have none, and l have heard of
private who wore ten.
Suddenly l solved the mystery. The
marks are the record of wounds re-
ceived! By that admirable little de-
vice the French allay the smart of a
wound and make it bring lasting honor
to the man among his fellows.

SLOW TRAVEL IN MANCHURIA
Better Progress Is Made in Winter
Than in Summer by Antiquated
Methods.

Although it is much easier to reach
Manchuria now than it was ten or fif-
teen years ago, the man who would
travel in the interior OF this primitive
part of China, as soon as he leaves the
few railroads must rely upon means
that were standard q century ago.
If it is winter he will rattle over the
frozen mud in cart drawn by three
horses. At night he will stop at an inn
where he must supply his own bed and
large part of his own food, unless he
is willing to be satisfied with a little
boiled corn. The walls of his room
will be of paper and eyes will peer at
him through holes hastily punched for
the purpose. In the morning his driv-
er will awaken him before daylight and
start him on another long day of jolts
and freezing.
In the summer travel is easier and
pleasanter, but also much slower. A

pleasantly shaded banks and green
fields, every little while coming to rest
upon sandbar. so that progress is un-
believably slow, even going down
stream. Against the current the boat
is laboriously poled and dragged with
heavy ropes.
By these means the traveller may
penetrate into a region where change
is unknown and the principles of Con-
fuciuS still rule He will meet natives
who have never seen watch or rail
road train, although they nominally
belong to one of the oldest civiliza-
tions; he will see the squalor and dirt
and disease that go with ignorance
The fact will be forcibly brought
home to him that modern progress
travels over good roads.

WRITER'S PEN is FREAKISH
There Have Been Many Instances of
Authors Mechanically Saying
Something Not Intended.

Many, if not most, writer's have had
to bewail the occasional freakishness
of the pen in putting down on paper
something very different from that in
tended by its author, says writer In
the Westminster Gazette. Readers of
Sir George Trevelyan's Life of Macau-
lay" will recall the historians horror
when, too late, he discovered that he
had written in the Edinburgh Review
that sit would be unjust to estimate
Goldsmith by "The Vicar of Wake
field or Scott by 1.-THE Life of Ma
poleon," when he really intended to
say that it would be unjust to estimate
Goldsmith by his History of Greece"
There was, too. an amusing slip of the
pen perpetrated by the grave Sir Archi-
bald Alison in including Sir Peregrine
Pickle instead of Sir Peregrine Matt
land among the pallbearers at the duke
of Wellington's funeral.
Another striking instance of the pen
mechanically writing something not in
tended came under notice the other
day on the title page of a reprint of a
once famous book, Jane Porter's Scot
tish Chiefs" This edition, published
some years ago by well-known Lon
don house, describes Miss Porter as
author of Pride and Prejudice Sense
and Sensibility,' etc, etc!" Doubtless
the Christian name of "Jane" induced
the slip. All remember. and nearly all
Charlotte Bronte was one notable ex-
ception-iove Jane Austen; not so
many remember Jane Porter.

He pointed to the horse, and they
stood in row and stared

he legged his horse up the narrow
track that led northward out of the

"Cheloh! !" he called. Forward, mer

"Thy mother and the spirit of fight

of him, stepping out like a boy going
to picnic. "She will love thee! Allah
She will love thee! Allah! Allah!''
The thought seemed to appal him
For hours after that he climbed ahead

Would Tunnel English Channel.

A machine for tunneling the English
Channel in 50 days has been brought
to the attention of the British govern
ment by Mr.. John K. Hencken, civil
engineer of New York, who states that
he has official approval of his scheme.
The scheme contemplates boring four
tunnels by means of eight machines
that will cut through earth and rock
at the rate of 100 feet per hour, and
provides not only for trackway in
each tunnel, but a driveway, along
with motor-lorries could be driven
from England to the supply bases in
France. Mr.. Hencken asserts that he
can have the tunnels complete and
ready for operation within a few
months time, and declares that, should
the scheme be carried through, it
would release most of the shipping
now used between England and
France.

CHAPTER TX.

King repacked the loads, putting
everything back carefully into the big
leather envelopes and locking the
empty handbag, after throwing in a
few stones for Ismail's benefit. Then
he went to sit in the moonlight, with
his back to a great rock and waited
there cross-legged to give his brother
time to make good retreat through
the mist. When there was no more
doubt that his own men, at all events,
had failed to detect the lieutenant, he
put two fingers in his mouth and
whistled.
Almost at once he heard sandals
come pattering from both directions.
AS they emerged out of the mist he
sat silent and still. 1t was Darya Khan
who came first and stood gaping at
him, but Ismail was a very close sec
ond, and the other three were only a
little behind. For full 70 minutes
after the man with the sore stomach
had come they all stood holding one
another's arms, astonished. Then
"Our sahib-King sahib-where is
he?" asked Ismail.

Even Kings voice was so completely
changed that men who had been reared
amid mutual suspicion could not recog-
nize it.
"But there are his loadsl There is
his mule!"
"Here is his bagw said Ismail,
pouncing on it, picking it up and shak-
ing it, "It rattles not as formerly !
There is more in it than there wasr'
His two horses and the mule are
here" said Darya Khan.
"Did say he took them with him ?''

companies have collected the enormous
sum of 1,144,799,O00 marks (mark-
23.8 cents), in premiums, and have
paid out, 902, 10000 marks in indemni-
ties. During the year 1915 the COM
panies realized profit of 7,999,975
marks, which was much in excess of
their average earnings, and the busi-

Mexico an indian Country?

1t is of importance to inquire into
the attitude taken by the southern
Indians of Mexico toward the official
Spanish civilization, says the New Re-
public. If it is difficult for an out
slider only slightly acquainted with the
southern Indians to understand the
reasons for their marked hatred of
the Spaniards it seems self
evident of anyone who has spent any
time with them. To the southern In
dians, the Spaniard and his successor,
the Spanish-speaking Mexican, is the
cruel alien cOnqueror. They feel that
they are Indians and that Mexico is
an Indian country For instance, one
of the common objections to Madero
encountered in OaXaca was that he
was not an Indian and that the preSi
dent of Mexico should be an Indian.
This attitude is significant, and it is
not strange TO find even northern
Indian like uerta proudly eXclaim-
| ing: ,"Yo so indiana" CarranZa's lack
| of popularity in the south is not so
much due TO the fact that southern
Mexico is the home of Diaz as to the
| fact that Carranza is not an Indian.
