OLD RED TAPE HAMPERS
NAMING OF CHILDREN
French Parents Up Against
Some AWfuI Cognomens.

Special Correspondence 10 THE Nrw YORK
PARIS. Dec. .s.MFrance may be a
modern democracy. but attention is be-
ing called 10 the fact that In the naming
OF their children French parents must
confosm TO antiduated laws which re-
strict them to the use OF only the names
OF recognized saints (of both sexcs) OF
the French calendars and persons noted
or notorious In ancient history
As result q proud father IN the
Marine. desiring to commemorate his
services with Joffre In the saving OF his
homeland. learned recently that he
would have 10 obtain special permission
from the courts before he could name his
latest daughter "Joffrette Marnine."
After unravclling several weeks OF Of
fcial red tape he scanned the list OF
legitimate names and decided. TO save
further annoyance, TO register tho infant
as "Amslthee Hermentrude Segondoie."
Some prefcctures are issuing COM

parents. and the casual reader finds

bishop OF Kildare several centuries
ago. and Boitanates. a eunuch martyred
in Persia in the dark ages because OF his
Christian proclivities.
That tho law has its advantages how
ever. IN shown by the fact that Swiss

France was refused permission to nama

Continuing their study of Germany's
semi-offfcial suggestion that she be per-
m,tted to make her reparation payments
in kind" rather than in currency.
French experts have evolved new
scheme, which, II accepted when the al
lied representatives renew the negoti-
atoms in Brussels on January 10 will
give both France and Germany an op-
portunity TO effect more promptly their
economic restoration.
NJ. Seydoux. who Is attached to tho
French Ministry Of Finance, 10 under
stood TO be the author Of the scheme
and he Is now endeav voring to convince
Carl BergYnann, head of the German
delegation to Brussels, that while Ger
many's fiscal position is not promising
Il will in no way hinder her from show
ing her good faith by supplying France
with the materials she needs for her
reconstruction work.
NJ. Seydoux proposes that French
firms order as much goods as possible
from German manufacturers, but In
stead OF paying directly for these goods
compensation will be made In the form
of certificates issued by the French repa-
rations services and paid into German
banks authorized by the Berlin Govern
ment TO receive such payment. This
would not only solve the problem OF
these payments from the French View
point but would place the whole burden
of responsibility on the German Gov
ernment, which. in order TO save Its
reputation would be compelled to work
In real harmony with its financiers.
M. Seydoux also believes that the
scheme would overcome the necessity,
such as is seen in British and Belgian
commercial circles, of abandoning the
right to seize any German material
found in allied countries II the German
Government failed to make good its
treaty pledges The action by London
in waving this right is understood to
have influenced Brussels In taxing sirni-
lar action, which is calculated to re-
open the British and Belgian markets
fully TO German exports to the disad-
vantage OF France. as the French Gov
ernment still refuses to consider waiving
even her most meagre treaty rights,
fearing that minor revision OF the treaty
would lead eventually to demands by
Germany for larger changes on the
ground that precedence had been estap-
lished for treaty corrections.
Herr Bergmanns attitude ever since
he became head OF the German deiega-
ton has been decidedly conciliatory. al
though he has been compelled to plead
for Berlin's consent on many conces-

have disarmament as its sole subject
of discussion.
Unless some sort OF a general Rgree-
ment is arrived at. however, Mr.. Dam
iels believes there should be no letting
down In the American programme OF
naval construction.
IT am not willing to say that the
United States should not have a bigger
navy than any other nation In the
world" he said. "unless there is some
association which will agree to disarma-
ment. The United States is not willing
to play second fiddle to anybody"
Mr.. Daniels disclosed his plan for
world peace this afternoon in attempting
to correct what he declared is an erro-
neous impression generally prevalent as
to his recommendations for increases in
the size of the navy.
Daniels for a Conference.
''The impression prevails, as I see by
several published statements" he said.
that the naval estimates this year pro-
vide for three additional battleships. one
battle cruiser and elghty-eight other
ships. This Is not correct The esti-
mates make provision for one aeroplane
carrier and several small cruisers and
gunboats. The suggestion of another
large programme was contingent on the
suppostion that there would be no asso-
citation OF nations and no agreement to
limit armaments. II there Is no League
Of Nations and no association OF nations.
then there ought to be conference of
all nations solely on the question OF
armament along the lines OF the pro-
visions Of the naval bill OF 1915, which
provided for three year programme.
1.-THE whole thing is that the League
of Nations provided a way to stop COM
petitive building. If we do not want a
league we can have conference purely
on armament. Every nation which has
joined the league has promised this.
All they need is to get us in. Now they
come back and say let the United States
do 1t anyway"
The Secretary holds that the record
of the United States should be sufficient
to convince other nations that they have
no cause to fear that we would use our
big navy improperly.
"The reason advocated the sinking
Of the German feet in midocean," he
said. was that believe 1t would be an
object lesson to the world that It Is un-
healthy to build great armaments for
purposes of conquest"
