BISHOP URGES
AIDING LOVERS
Calls Sympathetic Interest
In Courtship Cure for
Divorces.
Especial Cable to The HernId.)

London, June 5.-"We have made
much of marriage, let us make
more of courtship."
This Is tho recommendation Of
the bishop of Truro, who suggests
the easy recourse to the divorce
court may be checked by sympa-
thetic interest in courtship.
"A marriage well made is at least
one step toward giving the divorce
court perpetual holiday" writes the
bishop in his diocesan magazine.
Help and sympathize with the
lads and lasses in the courting
days; set them an example. and give
them sympathy in the diff1cult early
days of married life; win their con-
fidence, and the future is bright
with the prospect of a cleaner and
purer England
"In the past, by lack of sympa-
thy, we have lost the young by our
needless laughter and depreciating
lack of interest; we have made
them shy of telling us their long
ings, their friendships and their
courtings, and terrible has the con-
sequence been. 1t is always better
soundly to make than strictly to
prevent breaking"

Especial Cable to The HeraId.)


Constantinople. June 5.-High
cost of living has brought with it
the doom of the harem, according to
Turks of good family.
Another war legacy to the old
Ottoman capital is a new craze
among women for high heels and
silk stockings.
Religion Gone.
This is how a son of Naby Bey,
Turkish Ambassador to Rome, de-
scribes the new conditions here:
We eat, drink, sleep and dress
like anybody else in the world
Atheism and indifference have taken
the place of religious feeling. No
more art, no more local color.
Business everywhere, unscrupu-
lous commercialism and the get
rich-quick mania are all that re-
main of the old Turkish traditions
of a quiet, contemplative life. Our
houses are furnished with cheap
German furniture and bent wood
chairs from Vienna. Our women
wear high heels, low frocks and
bonnets, ape the Paris models and
have a craze for fox-trot music,
peroxide hair and silk stockings.
Some of them to get a decent
apology for the many hours they
are fond of spending out of doors,
learn shorthand and typewriting,
and some of them don't even seek
an apology.
Polygamy Vanished.
Pol gamy is a thing of the past.
One wife is already much too ex-
pensive a burden for the modern
Turk. You know that our women
had all to be treated exactly in
the same way; the harem favorite
is an utter Occidental fancy. A
jewel, a frock, a present of any
kind given to one wife had to be
given to the others as well. You
have seen what prices are now in
Turkey; who could afford more
than one wife,"
But for those who already know
Constantinople and remember the
town in pre-war days the most as
tonishing thing-more so indeed
than unveiled women. Turkish chill
dren on roller skates. and cars
driven by Turkish chauffeurs-is
the fantastic. unjustified, mad in
crease in prices.
Turkish cigarettes can be bought
at about half the Constantinople
price on Broadway, goods of Ori-
entail origin. like carpets, china,
brass. have an increase in price
that often reaches 1000 per cent,
and European and American goods
are at prohibitive prices.

Copenhagen, June 5.-Any doubt
that the recent elections with their
crushing defeat for the late radical
pro-German government would pu-
rify the atmosphere is gone.
There is no more striking evil
dence of the change than the chas-
tened behavior of German visitors
in public places. A little more than
fortnight ago they invariably
made themselves thoroughly objec-
tionable. but now they keep very
much in the background.
Gradually shops where Berlin
and Hamburg merchants have been
conducting a fiourishing business in
furniture are closing their doors.
No paper will publish their adver-
tisements, and to be seen entering
one of them would mean immediate
ostracism.
Gone already are the scores OF
journalists engaged in German prop
aganda. The radical government
muzzled the Danish independent
press with a drastic press law.
Several leading editors were sent
to jail during the war for express
ing sympathy with the Allies.
The large colony of Russian Boil
shevists are also on the move and
a number are known to be endeav-
oring to reach the United States
with forged passports. The Copen-
hagen police prevented several of
them from getting passage on
boats running direct between this
city and New York, but put no diff
ficulties in their way when they
left for Germany or Sweden.

Paris. June 5.-Amazing reveIa-
tions as to the influence of the
weather on the birthrate have been
made in Paris by DIR. A. Magelssen,
noted physician and biologist. His
conclusions are stirring up much
controversy.
The decrease in the birthrate is
not due to immortality or love of
luxury but to changes in the
weather" says DR.. Magelssen. For
the last thirty years or so the
temperature Of Western Europe has
been steadily falling and one Of the
consequences has been the diminu-
ton in births which is troubling
both legislators and moralists.
