GERMAN SAILORS CAN'T
Il LAND AT SAVANNAH

SAVANNAH, Cat is we'll
established fact here that the war is
not yet over since members of the
crew of the Danish steamer Classic
Macrsk, who are all Germans, are
not allowed to land in Savannah be-
cause there still exists state of
war between this country and Ger
many. There is only city law of
old standing prohibiting sailors from
sleeping on board vessels between
certain spring and fall dates, and
the crew of the Classic Macrsk are
caught between the international
law and the city law. They are not
technically allowed to "land'' as
other sailors are permitted to do, but
to keep the city law are permitted to
come on shore at night under guard,
remaining under guard all night at a
place provided for all sailors in port.
The sailors do not take kindly to the
enforced restrictions upon them.

from school and classes. All through
her youth she was somewhat subdued
by q very strict religious training; and
she was a great reader Of religious and
philosophical subjects, and In later
years wrote Of them also.
In 1871 the family moved to COven-
try, and 1t was there that Miss Evans
made the acquaintance of MIR. and Mrs.
Charles Bray and Mr.. Charles Hennell,
who became her staunch friends.
In 1851 she became the assistant edi-
tor Of the Westminster Review. She
made several notable contributions to
the Review and during the time of her
connection with 1t made the acquaint-
ance of many distinguished authors Of
that period.
Miss Evans first attempted the writ
ing of fiction In 1856, and published in
BlackwOOd's magazine the first of the
"Scenes Of Clerical Life" Although
she received much announcement from
private sources, notably Charles Dick

initial. Then I'm 1859 Miss Evans wrote
and published what in the Judgment of
many is her masterpiece, "Adam Rede."

was far enough away from the noise
Of 'Boney's'' battles to sleep in peace
Men chatted of crops and rents, and
listened to the gossip Of women folk
regarding Dinah Morris Of Snowfeld,
Mrs. Poyser's own niece, who had
turned "Methody'' preacher and would
stand right before men on the village
green, talking to them Of the comfort
they could find in their friend, Jesus
Christ.
And, worse still, Dinah was so at
tractive and so gravely loving that the
men, and women too, gladly listened
to her. Big Adam Bede, the carpen-
ter, would have liked to see more Of
her, had he eyes for any one except
old Poyser's niece, Hetty Sorrel. As
for Hetty, she had no thought for
Adam; Captain Arthur Donnithorne,
heir of the estate, had whispered too
many things in her pretty ear.
It was natural enough. There, in
her aunt's white dairy, rounding her
dimpied arm to lift pound of butter
out of the scale, Hetty had the beauty
Of a fluffy kitten. Her large dark eyes
had a soft ROBUSTNESS, and her curly
hair, pushed away under her cap, stole
back in delicate rings on her forehead.
OF course, the dashing captain had no
foolish ideas about marriage, but then
as he bent over her shoulder, he was
soldier enough to feel his head turn
very fast. He had NO wish to harm
her, you may be sure of that, for he
had great pride in the Donnithorne
estate, and it is pleasant for rich
young man to be liked and admired.
One August evening Adam walked
homeward through grove Of grand
beeches, the glory of the estate. As
carpenter and woodsman, he delighted
in fine trees, and paused to look at a
huge beech which stood at the turn
ing before the grove ended in an arch
way of boughs.
All his life he remembered that
moment, for there, not twenty yards
away, stood two figures, close, with
clasped hands. They started. The
girl hurried away, while Arthur Don
nithorne walked slowly forward He
was flushed and excited, but treasured
himself by remembering that Adam
was sensible person, not likely to
babble. That the big sober carpenter
loved Hetty, Arthur had no idea.

Arthur found 1t hard to control HIM

"Well, Adam, perhaps I have gone
100 far In taking notice Of the pretty
little thing, and stealing a few kisses.
You're such grave fellow you don't 1

friend. You're coward and scoun.
drel, and despise you"
The color rushed back to Arthur's
face. He dealt lightning blow which
sent Adam staggering back, but the
delicate-handed gentleman was no
match for the workman's great
strength. After fierce struggle, Ar
thur fell motionless, while Adam, in
sudden revulsion Of feeling, knelt over
him like an image Of despair gazing
on death.
To his intense relief, Arthur grad
ually revived. Adam got him to his
feet, supported him to the little cabin,
and laid him on a couch. Then he
spoke out.
II don't forget what's owing to you
as a gentleman, but in this thing we
are man to man. Either tell me she
can never be my wife-tell me you're
lying when you say you haven't
harmed her-or else write her a let
ter, telling her the truth that you
won't see her again."
Arthur struggled, suffered, prom
Used, and Adam half comforted, left,
not knowing that there, in the waste
basket, hastily stuffed under the pa.
pers, lay woman's silk kerchief.
When Hetty read Arthur's letter,
she gave way to despair. Then, by
one of those convulsive motiveless ac-
tons by which the wretched leap from
temporary sorrow to lifelong misery,
she determined to marry Adam. The
big carpenter was in the seventh
heaven, Hetty fitful and depressed.
For family reasons, the marriage
could not be FASTENED and as the
months passed, she determined at any
cost to seek out Arthur, whose regi-
ment was at Windsor. Telling her
uncle she was going to Snowfield to
see Dinah for q little change Of scene
before her marriage, she started out,
ignorant of the country, panicstricken
and forlorn, eager to shun every IA
miliar face, longing only to feel again
the protection of her lovers arms.
On Arthur, meanwhile, life seemed
again to smile. After rejoining his
regiment, his sharpest regrets for
Hetty began to lose their sting. Soon
he was transferred to Ireland, and
there learned that by his grandfa-
theirs death he was lord of the manor.
Home he came, fast as chaise and |
post boy could drive, home to dear
old Hayslope sleeping on the hill,
where he was to live his life, mar
ried to some lovely lady, respected and
by his tenants. A pile Of
letters awaited him. He opened the !,
first, and with violent CONFUSION
shaking his whole frame, read the
words: Hetty Sorrel is in prison for
he crime Of child murder.
Clutching the letter, Arthur rushed
rom the room like hunted man, and
'pringing to the saddle Of n waiting
horse, set off at gallop.
That very evening young woman
at the door of the village Jail.
There was about her a deep concen-
rated calmness which induced the
aller to grant her request to visit
ne condemned cell. AS the heavy
loor closed behind her, she hesitated
'efore the pallet BED.

Nothing is saiu in the Testament about

marriage was held to be a sacrament.
The priest said to the man who married:
Remember that you are caught for life.

punishment for having married. The

was at least contrary to his advice, and
that the married ought to suffer in some

The text OF the New York dispatch
follows.
New York, July 9th. The inauguration
of a campaign for a Federal COnstitu-
tional amendment making divorce i'm
possible in the united States was annOunc-
cd today by the rev, DR.. Walter Gwynne,
General Secretary of the Society for the
upholding of the s%anctity of marriage.
A vigorous propaganda will be carried
on, said DR.. GWynne, TO extend the mem
bership OF the organization to every
Christian denomination in the United
States and ministers of every creed will
be urged to refuse to perform the mar
rlage ceremony for any person that has
been divorced.
The article above referred to and on
CIlC SubJCGL VI WHICH COlISS pOIIuGtCG IS

The world for the most part is ruled
by the tomb. and the living are ~tyranniz-
ed over by the dead. Old ideas, long
after the conditions under which they
were produced have passed away, often
persist in surviving. Many are disposed
to worship the ancient-tO follow the old
paths, without inquiring there they lead,
and without knowing exactly where
they wish TO go themselves.
Opinions on the subject Of divorce have
been, for the most part, inherited from
the early Christians, They have come
to us through theological and priestiy
channels. The early Christians believed
that the world was about to be des~ royed,
or that it was to be purified by fire; that
all the wicked were to perish. and that
the good were to be caught up in the
air to meet their Lord-tO remain there,
10 ali probability, until the earth was
prepared as a habltation for the bless

their minds, the things of this world
