NEW HUSBANDS FOR FRANCE
Legislation Providing Assistance for
Those Rearing Families Is Pro-
posed BY Deputies.

Paris Wanted; Two million men
for husbands.
France is earnestly seeking them
and casting about by every means
in her power to provide husbands. for
two million Of her daughters at the
conclusion Of the war.
The events of the past month have
done great deal to stimulate the
controversy as to the means to be
employed to pay the human toll Of
war. On top Of the first official sta
fistics received from Germany via Am
sterdam, that the rate Of mortality in
the empire, not from injuries, wounds
or deaths in battle, Ii twice the birth
rate, the first legal proposition with
regard to encouraging marriages in
France has been submitted to the

Oxford Mayor Says
Municipal Plant
Has Been a Failure

OXFORD, o., Dec. MAYOR ]. S.
Hughes yesterday issued a statement
to the public regarding the electric
light situation in this village. He said
plainly that the people had been fooled
by advocates of municipal ownership.
Fourteen months ago they were told
that an expenditure of $4,000 on the
plant would put it in such shape that
no more money should be required for
years, and that current could be made
for two cents per K. W. hour; that
the rate to the consumer would be
much less than ever before. and the
monthly meter rent of ten cents would
be abolished. Not one of these things
came true. 1t now costs six and one
half cents per K. w. hour to make the
current, the rates have been advanced.
the meter rent still exists and $4,000
additional is now asked for to repair
boilers.
The mayor says plainly that the
plant is a losing proposition and al
ways will be. He calls attention to
the fact that the town is almost at the
end of it's resources; that the sewers
are full of roots: that the filter beds
must be rebuilt next spring, and that
the waterworks pumps must be re-
placed
Mayor Hughes says there is only
two remedies: Operate the light plant
on an eight hour schedule. from 4 to
II p. m, or close it down and purchase
current from an outside concern.

BRITISH BUILT q
SHIPS SINCE 1914

LONDON, Dec. THE names OF
81 additions to the British battleship
sauadrons, which have joined the
grand fleet since August, 1914, have
been mentioned in newspaper articles
since the signing of the armistice, &C.
cording to a resume published today.
Four Of the vessels have been
known as the Hush" ships because
of the secrecy surrounding their de-
sign and construction. They are
known as the Repulse, Courageous,
Glorious and Frivolous.
They are reported to be nearly 500
feet in length and to displace 10000
tons each and to be capable OF a
speed Of from thirty to thirty-five
knots. They were completed within
a year. combination of great speed
and heavy armament on a compare
lively light draft permitted them to
use the shallow waters of the North
Sea.
The Emperor of India and the Ben
bow of the Iron Duke class (25,OOO
tons) were two others of the vessels
They belong to the 1919 building
program, as did also the battle cruis-
err Tiger. The five vessels of the
Queen Elizabeth class (27,5O0 tons),
the Barham, the Valiant, the War
spite. the Malaga and the Queen
Elizabeth, all of which were in the
program for 1928, also are among
the additions. In the battleship pro-
gram for 1894 there were five ves-
sells which in armament and armor
protection were to resemble: the
Queen Elizabeth class, but their dis
placement was to be slightly smaller
They are all in the fleet and are the
Royal Sovereign. Royal Oak, Resolu-
ton. Revenge and Families (25.75O
tons)
Others additions were Warships
purchased and appropriated. Two of
these were being built for Turkey and
were renamed the Agincourt (27,500
tons) and Arin $4,000 tons.)
At the outbreak of the war two bat
tleships were being built in Great Bri-
tain for. Chilli and were to be named
the Almirante Latorre and Almirante
Cochrane. The Almirante Latorre
$4,000 tons) was purchased and re-
named the Canada. The Almirante
Cochrane $4,000 tons) is believed to
be the vessel christened by Mrs. Page,
wife of the then American ambassa
dor. w. II. Page, last June, as the
Eagle.

General Pershing's Report

General Pershing pays high tribute to the
men who drove the Huns out of France in his re-
port to Secretary Baker. He praises the spirit
and fighting power of the American soldier in
words that find response in the heart of every
true American. General Pershing of all men is
best qualified to speak.
The American people will do well to take to
heart number of faults which he found in our
military establishment. The Chicago Tribune,
which has urged the establishment and mainten-
ance of a strong army, draws the following con-
cusion from General Pershing's report:
In his report on the conditions and operations
of the American campaign we owe it to the future
of this country and to the democratic armies
which may be called some day to defend the ma
ton and it's cause to note well what Gen. PERISH
ing says of our lack of ordnance and planes and
other requisites Of war. The Tribune already has
called attention to the fact that opponents of pre-
paredness are impenitent and unenlightened in
spite of the revelations of the war. Because,
after more than year and with the help of three
great armies and the British and French navies
we were able to help strike the decisive blow, we
have been told that we were not unprepared for
war and that our achievement proves it.
We do not attempt to cure folly in these blind
fanatics But we intend the general public shall
not be deceived or misled by them.
We do not refer the fanatics to the Hughes
