When all American doughboy ap-
piled for the hand of a French maid,
often he was met by stern parents
who demanded to know something
about his previous condition. To help
out in this situation the Knights of
Columbus established offices in Paris
and New York
The French government became in
terested in the situation and appoirt-
ed Mr.. Julien knecht, brother of DR..
Marcel Knecht, French Commissioner,
as their representative, assigning him
the colossal task of obtaining informa-
ton regarding the standing of Ameri-
can soldiers who desired to marry
French women. The investigation
was to be made only where the family
of the woman to be married applied
either to the government authorities
or the Knights of Columbus in France.
On the other hand, the K, of c. Paris
office sent information to New York
concerning the girl and her relatives
which was relayed to the folks of the
soldier who contemplated matrimony.
In all cases the soldier was willing
party to the Neutrality-suspicious.. In
no case would the Knights give their
services unless either American or
French parents had requested infor-

 As we followed him toward the house, he pushing the wheelbarrow loaded with sacks of nuts, he added:
 "At last Grimshaw has found sorne-
 thin that he can't buy an he's awful surprised. Too bad he didn't learn that lesson long ago." ...
 He stopped his wheelbarrow by the steps and we sat down together on
 the edge of the stoop as he added:

As an instance of the dis play O. these charaetertstlcs, when In Anchorage on his campaign tour, MT Sulzer loudly asserted that the resolution passed by the federal congress resembling, for a given period, that part Of the Uni ted States mining laws relating to assessment work, applied to Alas ka, ss well as the United States proper He assured his auditors that there was not particle or doubt this matter, and exhibited, as proof O. his contention, message from one Alex T.

 Now, a curative act has been pas sed by the congress, making the resolution apply to Alaska And through the columns of the ring organ down in Juneau, Mir, Sulzer asserts that he aided very greatly in securing the passage Of this curative act.

The American Bar association has set about to produce reform in court Q pcactice, hoping to remove at least enc cause Of popular irration and dlstrust Of the judiciary. It is that when examination Of the trial record by an appellate court discloses no error that in itself would prejudice the verdict, the de- cision will not be 6istrubed. In simple words, no verdict will be set aside cn mere incidental technical ity. Lawyers who are concerned in this move, as well as eminent judges, give 1t ernest support as tending to restore popular conf dence lR the courts, admittedly for reited by the hairsplitting that so frequently has appeared to thwart oT turn justice aside. They do not apprehend that confusion will result because of the lfberali appli- cation of common sense.
