Youna Author Falls Down.

A young author sends me the manu-
script Of story. He claims he has a
new idea. His new idea" Is this: A
young man and woman are married In
the usual way, and, during their hon.
eymoon. love each other with great
devotion.
But In year the young man finds
he has tired Of his wife. from seeing
her so much; from too close associ-
alton. He supposes, Of course, that
she has not tired of him; such a pos
sibility does not enter his mind. How
ever. he resolves to be a square man
and confess to his wife just how he
feels. She also talks frankly, and Il
develops that the wife is as tired Of
the husband as the husband Is of the
wife.
am compelled to report to the
young author that this Is no develop
ment Of new fact In life.-E. w.

France has lost its sweet tooth. Re.
cent official statistics show that. be-
cause sugar was unobtaInable during
the war, children born between 1914
and 1910 have been educated by their
parents not to require sugar In their
drinks and food.
As result the consumption Of sugar
In France has fallen to one-eighth the
pre-war mark.
France has become such an unpro6t-
able market for fine chocolates that
nearly all the big manufacturers are
sending nine-tenths Of their output to
the United States and South America.

Enemies of Soviets.

London, oct. S.-Great Britain has
threatened to take certain action"
against soviet Russia if steps are not
taken by October 10 for the release
OF British prisoners held by the Boil
shevilSi. says the Herald. organ of la
Dor, which this morning prints what
purports to be the text of notes ex

gime that it will promise to fulfill the
conditions required sby Great Britain
when the latter carries out her part
OF the bargain made last July for the
mutual release of all prisoners and
cessation of all hostile action.
The note sent to Moscow by Earl
Curzon, British secretary of state for
foreign affairs. was dated October /,
according to the Herald. 1t charged
the Russians with "flagrantly violat-
ing the conditions which the soviet
accepted in July regarding prisoners
and propaganda. NJ. Krassin replied
on October 6 with a charge that Great
Britain had not only failed to fulfill
her part of the conditions, but had
helped enemies of the soviet govern

Return of Prisoners.
: The number of prisoners in British
hands in Egypt, Persia, Constantinople
and Batum, it is declared by NJ. Kras-
sin, has not been communicated to the
soviet government which desires their
return to Russia.
Regarding Russian prisoners under
British control, Foreign Minister Cur
ION said in his note:
"a very limited number of Russian
subjects are in our hands and Great
