Marriage in France.
CPortland Oregonian)

(POrJldnQ OrSSODldht
The other day the Oregonian read
a letter from a French citizen writ
ten in painstaking English, inquiring
about the antecedents, character, and
circumstances of a member of It's
staff now with the American Expo
dictionary forces. The surmise was
justified that there was a daughter
in the family, and that affairs be-
tween the young journalist and the
French lass were progressing in a
way quite agreeable to them. Quite
plainly, however, marriage in
France is not q mere matter of ar
rangement between the young princi-
pals but the parents there take a
hand.
Not very long since, it was stated
in the public prints that one of the
requirements of a French wedding is
the production of a birth certificate
by both parties; and several affairs,
which were on their way to a happy
conclusion, had been postponed in
definitely, because the intending
groom had nothing of the kind with
him. Nor are such documents COM
mon in America. It would take no
end of trouble for a soldier in France
to get a certificate that would pass
muster abroad. Perhaps France, in
the interest of international comfy,
and with proper regard for the rights
of posterity, will in the end waive
this regulation. But it has not been
done yet, so far as we know.

tellers of tales. he was in Russia,
passing under the name of Kerensl1y,
rallving the Russians to the support
of the allied cause.
Before long the folly of this yarn
was clear to even the most credulous
and its exposure put a stop to such
foolery for the time being. But now
the spnners of yarns are busy again.
This time Nicholas, formerly Car Of
Russia, is their victim. Nicholas,
they say. was not really killed by the
BoIsheviki. He still lives, they de-
clare, and will again be seen in the
flesh; and in support of their theory
they point to the fact that his body
was not found in the coal mine into
which it was said to have been
thrown
Of a different sort, yet similar in
some respects, is the Hindenburg
mystery. Reasonable people believe
that Kitchener died when the Hamp-
shire was torpedoed and that Nicho-
las fell before the Bolshevik firing
SQUAD. But reasonable people do not
vet know what to believe about Hin
denburg. They do not know whether
he is alive or dead; and certainly this
case is the most remarkable of all.
For Hindenburg is, or was, one of the
mightiest figures Of this war, and it
is in the highest degree amazing that
in this day and time most of the peo-
pie Of the wo1ld should remain in
ignorance for months as to the fate
Of so eminent an actor in the great
drama which absorbs mankind's at
tention.
1t is not so strange that a similar
New Britain herald., 1918-10-11

uncertainty should prevail in regard
to a number of men who have PLAYED
notable roles in Russia. Russia In
large measure, has gone back to the
Dark Ages; indeed, in some respects.
she had never outgrown them; and in
the vast chaos which used to be the
RUSSIAN Empire many things happen
every day that the world knows
nothing of. Yet it is interesting to
note how many Russians of promin-
ence are in the same category with
H1ndenDurg. I[orpilof may be dead
or alITe-the public does not know
winch; and the same thing is true Of
the Cossack leader Kaledines. Up to
few weeks ago Kerensky, too, was
thought by many to have perished,
and now it is his successor LIE
nine who keeps the public guessing as
to whether or not he is still in the
land OF the living.
II: all these mysteries there IS
abundant material for many fas-
cinating legend. Marshal Ney died
once in France ard many times in
America, if all that was written about
him was true. UrQuectionably sim
liar fate is i'll store for some of the
celebrities of this war whose fate is
now shrouded III doubt. In years to
come across Kornilof plying a black
come across KOrniloff plyin ga black
smiths trade in an obscure hamlet in
North Carolina; and some old gray
beard, brea thing his last in an attic
in Wisconsin will reveal himself to
the sympathetic nelrhbcrs gathered
about his couch as none other than
the redoubtable Hindenburg himself.

Wars Men of Mystery.

(Charleston News and Courier)
Surely in all the annals of strife
there never was another war in which
great captains and prominent leaders
have been consigned SO often to the
grave only to be resurrected again.
The PROCESS began with Kitchener.
That mighty warrior went down with
the Hampshire when a torpedo dealt
that cruiser a fatal blow; but the
rumor mongers would not let him
rest in peace. Soon, according to the

There were two small fires last
evening. The first alarm from Box
446, which was only recently in

was for a chimney fire on Beach

the closet of a house on Park street,
owned now by p. & F. Corbin. one

HERE'S TO FOCH.


Here's to Foch! The gallant hero
Whose name thrills our hearts
with pride!
Here's to Foch. Whose name is ring
ing
Through the nations, far and wide,
For with courage for his armour,
And his shield of valour bright;
He is pressing back the hordes,
Who have trampled Truth and
Right.
Here's to F'och! The viliane victor
Stemming tides of wrath and hate!
Here's to Foch! the master marshal
Warding off rebuffs of Fate!
For with iron will and daring,
And with Spartan courage grand,
He is hurting back the Teuton
From his sunny, native land.
Here's to Foch! The allied nations
Loud applaud his honored name!
Here's to Foch! On history's pages
They shall blazon forth his fame.
For he's guarding well our banners
From the Prussian eagles claws,
And he's heralding the triumph
Of our arms, our state, our cause.
