little about parliamentary drill that
they were not fitted for the positions

Magnanimously the man offered to
buy her a book on the subject. They
entered a book store, made known
their request, and the clerk laid down
on the counter before them four books,
saying that they were the only books
on the subject she had. They began

Cleroy Asserts Itself.

Clergymen in Great Britain may
strike for higher wages. At recent
conference of the Southwell diocese at
Derby, the bishop delivered ultimatums
to certain missionaries who asked that
a minister be appointed for their
churches. The bishop has refused to
assign pastors for the parishes until
they have assured him they will have
a house and adequate food. Eight Of
the parishes of the diocese recently
were combined into one.
The question of poor church wages
has kept many aspirants to the min
istry from being ordained and the
church hierarchy has been asked not
to establish any more $1,000 a year
parishes.

Charles Humbert Is Found Not
Guilty of Having Dealt With
Enemy.
TWO MEN CONVICTED
Sentence of Death Is Passed on Pierre
Lenoir, While William Desouches
Is Given Term of Five Years
in Prison.

Paris, May Ex-senator Humbert,
who has been on trial by cOurtsmar-
tial on a charge of having had deal
ings with the enemy, was acquitted.
Captain George Jile Ladoux, former
chief of the intelligence bureau of the
Ministry of War, a co'defendant with
Humbert, was also acquitted. Pierre
Lenoir, still another of the co-defend-
ants, was sentenced to death, while
William Desouches was convicted and
sentenced to five years in prison.
Charles Humbert, senator and for
mer editor of LIE Journal, was arrest
ed in February, 1918, during the trial
of Bolo Pasha, who was put to death
for treason, by the director of the
Germanophile newspaper, Bonnet
Rouge. Bolo, it was brought out, had
bought an interest in LIE Journal, with
money that came from Germany
through New York banking houses.
Later, alleged evidence charging Hum
bert with communication with the en-
envy, was discovered.
Proceedings were begun last March
against Captain Ladoux in connection
with the BOlo Pasha and Bonnet
Rouge cases. And he was arrested,
charged with the loss of document
relating to persons likely to be impli-
Gated in a case alleging trading with
the enemy.
Lenoir was accused of trading with
the enemy When arrested, his case
was placed in Importance to the gov
eminent, higher than that against
Bolo Pasha. He was Partisan capt.
talist and with Desouches bought LIE
Journal in 1915, for 100000 francs
and later sold it to Cumbert. The
money was declared to have come
from a German source.
Desouches, although nearly 60 years
old, fought with the French before
Verdun. The prosecutor in presenting
the case against him, said Desouches
know that the money with which
Lenoir bought lie Journal was Ger
man, but that the defendants record
at the front as a volunteer liaison
officer might permit the court to light
en- his sentence on conviction.

Diamonds In United States.

year $176,426 worth of rough stones
were imported. Importations remain
ed at low figures until 1913, when they
reached a value of $2.517,759. They
rose steadily during the war from 49,
ISL, 633 in 1914, and $3,35S.1SO in 1915,
to S11,443,129 in 1916, $11,717,175 in
1917 and $12,92s,O10 in the first eight

MIL|TAR|SM MUST GO
Not a vestiee of Vast Framework
Built Up in Forty Years Of Prepa-
ration for World Conquest Is
to Be Left Standing.

Washington, May 10.-Army officials
here, after extended study of the
military terms of the peace treaty. are
is proposed to start on limitation or
ornaments is the absolute extirpGtion
of militarism in Germany.
Not. vestige of the vast military
framework built up in 40 years of pre-
paratiOn for world conquest by Ger
many is to be left.
Measures have been formulated even
to stamp out the military spirit bred
so carefully in the people. Under the
treaty any enterprise aiming at mill
tary propaganda is forbidden and mill
tary education cannot be carried on ex-
cept in the ranks of the army of 1OO,-
600. Such an army cannot perpetuate
itself in any way or expand through
turning trained men back to civil life
as an unorganized reserve.
This feature of the military terms
the inhibition upon discharging from
the army in any year more than 5 per
cent of it's strength-coupled with the
1e-year enlistment period, it is said
by American army officers, will pre-.
vent a recurrence of the scheme by
which Germany was once able to
throw of the yoke Napoleon sought
to impose when he limited her army
to a few thousand men each year. 1t
was apparent, these observers said,
that the lesson of that day had been
completely learned by the French mill.
tarists generally credited with having
devised the terms of the present trea-
ty.
Make Army DistastefuI.
The 12-year enlistment period re-
quired, it was said, was calculated to
make the army highly distasteful to
the average man. There can be for
him no hope of advancement but only
the drudgery of soldier life, for it will
not be an expanding force. Officers
doubted very much that the 100000
men allowed could be maintained as
required by voluntary recruitment.
Since the dismantling Of the forts
on the Eastern frontier it was assumed
by some observers here that the treaty
contemplated interposing Germany
and its limited army as buffer
against the BOlsheviki in Russia.
Naval Terms Drastic.
The naval terms are If anything
more drastic than those imposed as to
the army, navy officers said. From
q sea power claiming strength Sec
ond only to that of Great Britain, Ger.
many will be reduced to a naval power
virtually without rank in the world.
The six battleships she may retain,
the largest not to exceed 10000 tons,
would not dare risk action with any
two modern dreadnaughts and every
other department of the naval service
is scaled down accordingly.
The same extreme severity charac.
terizes the air terms, it was pointed
out. All that Germany has learned
of dirigible balloon building and navi.
cation is to be $scrapped.
