KAISER URGES PoLYGAMY

Rome Correspondent, New York Sun:
Reports reaching the Vatican say
polygamy is encouraged openly by the
military authorities of Germany.
The Catholic clergy recently anne in
to possession of several copies of
pamphlets which have been distributed
widely among the troops at the front.
The booklets are entitled Lateral
Marriage; the Only Means for the For
nation of "a New, Powerful, Armed
Force and for Ennoblement of Moral
ity."
One copy forwarded to Rome exhorts
married women in the interests of the
fatherland, to obtain the necessary per
mission from their husbands to con
tract lateral marriages, based upon per
sonal inclination, with married men
who in turn must obtain their wives
consent. Such lateral marriages, it is
stated, can be dissolved after children
are born. Their object is to increase
the birth rate and to mitigate condi'
tons brought about by the war.
The pope has asked for full par,
ticulars, with a view to public denun'
citation of such propaganda.

summers, who today enjoys the unique
distinction of commanding Russia g

the wonders of the war.
Finely, yet strongly built, with broad
shoulders and a hearty complexion,
Yaska, as she has been christened by
the Russian army, inherits much of her
warlike spirit from her father, who went
through the whole of the Turkish cam
paign, and lost both of his legs. She
was born in the wilds of Siberia, amidst
the perennial snow, and in view of the
northern lights. At the tender age of
II she was sent west by her parents to
take up the position of nursemaid in an
officers family. Four years elapsed and
her family thought it was time she
should think of mattimony. She met
her "fate' at a small provision shop,
where both served as counter assistants.
They were married, and thanks to their
perseverance and frugality, they were
soon able to open a small shop of their
own.
But as luck would have it, just as
they were settled down, war broke out
and the husband was called to the
colors. Yaska wished to accompany
him as a soldier, but he begged her to
stay behind and work for her parents,
She found it difficult to be parted from
her husband, but consented to remain
at home.
Time passed, and after long waiting
she got news that he had been killed
