MISS ENGLAND
 AFTER SAMMIE
Canadians Showed No Interest But Girls of Merry England Still
 Have Hopes

LIVERPOOL, July 15, (By MaiD.- Speculating editoriaNy on whether the men of the American army will marry English wives to any appreciable eX- tent, The Liverpool Post says:
 "Win American men marry here? We wonder if the coming of the Amer ican army will have any effect upon the matrimonial prospects of our girls. For some reason, the men of the New World have hitherto never shown any great eagernesS to take brides from the Old, and even the theory that this is because it has not been the way of the American man to cross the Atlantic, though it Is conSohng to our national vanity, does not work. For it is noticeable that the Canadians, who have abounded in our midst dur ing the past three years, are not near ly as fond of marrying into this coun- try. as are, for example, Australians.
 "Few of the young men from Aus tralia seem to want to rturn home without English brides, but the Cana dians either are married when they come or show disposition to remain single.
 "Still, there is no need for the girls to dispair yet, and if some of them do not spend their lives as matrons in the United States we shall be sur prised. Certainly it will not be their fault, as they show a most amiable desire to like any of the American na- val and military and medical men they have seen, although in some ways the fellow citizens of President Wilson are so curiously unlike our own men,

COAST LEAGUE
 IN BAD WAY
Vernon and Portland Having A Hard Time to Make End Meet May
 Suspend Any Time

SAN FRANCISCO, Cal, July 31.- While baseball followers on the Pa cifc Coast believe that the local league will be able to continue its schedule to the close of the present season, the fate of number of the leser organizations of baseball of like character throughout the country makes the future uncertain. It is well known that the Portland club has been having a hard time to make both ends meet due to combination of bad weather and indifferent attendance. Vernon also is said to be slipping along on thin ice.
 Under the circumstances it would not come as a surprise if the an nouncement were made any day Chat the circuit had been reorganized and the games for the remainder of the season played in some other town than the two mentioned.

An American Note" In French Dress This Year-COwbOy Stuff in
 the Lead

LONDON, July l5, (By MaiD.-A correspondent in Paris calls attention to the preponderating "American note" in French fashions this year. He writes:
 "There is an American accent about all the new French clothes. It is difficult to define, but it is there, and its price is high. Some of the dressmakers when they went on strike carried the Stars and Stripes, and when asked why, as they were agitat- ing mainly for the English Weekend, they should carry the American flag, replied, oh, it is the prettiest.' The same logic is applied to clothes.
 "Hats show a strong American note. The soft felt hat turned up one side is worn with a touch of cowboy swag- ger. The light muslin dress is also an American fashion. Shoes and trim mage show a similar inspiration. In fact, to be dressed "a PAmericane' is very much the thing"

NEW SECTION ACCEPTED
FORC|V|L RIGHTS BILL
Subcommittee Agrees tt, Rewrite In
surance Feature Of Soldiers
and Sailors Measure.

The Senate subcommittee on the
judiciary, in charge of the measure.
agreed yesterday to consider an en-
tirely new insurance section in the Dill

and soldiers. This understanding fol-
lowed a day of attacks on the validity
Of the pending section made by sena-
tors and representatives of the IN
surance companies. The new section
is to be drawn by the War Department
and n committee from the insurance
companies.
]. T. Mcintosh, general counsel of
the New York Life insurance Coh-
pany. contended that the section as
drawn imposed contract 1hat tne
mutual insurance companies could not
enter into because 1t meant that Con-
gress proposed to take property from
one man without compensation ana
give it to another. He predicted that
its enactment would mean the failure
of a number of life insurance com
panies.
Robert L. Cox of New York, repre-
senting the Association of Life lnsur-
ance Companies. told the subcommit-
tee that the only fund available to con-
tinue the Insurance carried by men
taken into government service Is the
policyholders' reserve, and that the IN
surance payments on policies held by
the fighting men would have to come
from policyholders not in the military
service. This he contended, would
violate the insurance contracts.
Mai Wigmare of the judge advocate
generals office, who was largely IN
strumental in drawing the bill, sug-
gested that Congress guarantee the
companies against losses by reason OF
of premium payments. This
met the approval of Senators Reed and
Brandegee. who had opposed the pro
vision. and of Chairman Overman. IL
was understood that revision along
that line would be considered at con-
ference to be held today.
