Treaty Clause
Causes Unique
Civil Problem

Paris, July 5. - A curious case
wherein the Treaty of Versailles
and its reparation clauses are mtr
toned is at present before French
courts. Duke de Vicence in 1912
bought a house in the Avenue de
Wagram in Paris, the purchase
carrying with it mortgage of
100000 francs held by a Berlin
firm. The duke assumed the mort
gage and continued to pay inter-
est until the outbreak Of the war.
The Berlin company to-day claims
the whole house. The duke now
refuses to either pay the interest
or give up the house, stating that
he had big property, estimated
at three million francs at Caulau-
court in the North which was des-
troyed by the German army" He
also points out that German pro-
perty in France bs the Treaty of
Versailles is attributed to the
French Government. He there
fore remarks that he owes the
French Government money but
cannot pay it till he has received
compensation for his destroyed
property at Caulaincourt.

Nude Actors on
Stage Appeared
In 1000 B. E..

Paris. July 5.-Ever since the
French Senate decided to call up
on the Government to suppress
Immoral" scenes in Paris theatre
and to forbid nude women from
appearing on the stage. French
writer's have been busy consulting
history as to when women first
appeared on the stage clothed
only in natures robes"
They have discovered that wo-
men, and men as we'll, appeared
nude on theatre stages as long
ago as 1000 years B. C. In an
cient Syria during the Venus cele-
brations women absolutely naked
and not even wearing a string OF
beads, as they do in some places
in Paris, would sing songs of
praise to the goddess. 1t was the
custom, In those days, with the
Syrians, once a show was over, to
cali upon actors ana actresses TO
disrobe and dance and sing. OBJ
jectors to such scenes were either
asked politely to leave or were
thrown out.
From nudity and morals these
same French writers stepped over
to the history of marriage and
Napoleon was a pure moralist and
did not believe in love. 81 do
more than deny the existence of
love" he would say, II believe it
to be detrimental to society and
to the individual happiness Of
man, and l firmly believe it does
more harm than good" Evident
ly his wife, Marie-Louise, was of
a different opinion, for she was
thrice married and had at last two
iuegitimate children-one, Count
de MontenueYo, being born three
months after Napoleon's death.
