Grant to Make
Wedding Test
Ban ON Divorce
Continued from page one)

Catholic has for several years been
communicate of DR.. Grants church.
For this reason, and because her di-
vorce was not obtained on the one stat
utory ground acknowledged by New
York law, she being the innocent party
this divorce is not recognized.
Mrs. Lydig, for these reasons, could
not be married in the Episcopal
Church, authorities say. If she and
DR.. Grant should be married in an
other church, or by civil ceremony, the
union would not be recognized They
would then be placed in situation
which might bring about the dismissal
Of both from the Church.
Charges against them would not have
to be brought by the bishop himself,
but could be preferred by any com
municant of the diocese who felt that
canon law had been violated. If such
a charge is brought the bishop is bound
by his office to consider 1t and if he
finds that it seems to have base to ap-
point court to try the case
'You say that the bishop has not
the power to grant dispensation in
such d case ?" one authority was asked.
Such power does not belong to the
bishop, except in the two eventualities
discussed, which do not occur in this
fully hurt If he should take such
power to himself in a case so openly
opposed to the canons of the church.
Trouble undoubtedly would follow.
But we are simply discussing inn
probabilities. Bishop Manning is very
strict regarding the divorce laws. And
these laws were expressly retained in
their fullness at the last convention. -
There was no exhibition of i'll
feeling, but rather good will, toward
DR.. Grant in the attitude of the
churchmen.
"He is a sincere worker for his
heavy burden, and carrying it honestly
But he is a minority Of one"
DR.. Grant when interviewed at Bev.
erly Hills made it plain that his mind
was made up on the subject of his
marriage. He let it be known that he
had not asked for and did not wis
advice on the subject.
AS a matter of courtesy, he stated
| he has informed Bishop Manning Of
his intention to marry He would not
say, however, whether he had received
an answer from the bishop, who is al
his summer home in Maine.
On the subject of divorce he die
speak, repeating the opinions he has
long voiced, and which he is now put
ting into effect.
"Those advocating that divorced per
sons should not marry, fail to realize
that liberal divorce is 81 part Of the
feminist movement, and that womeI
are becoming independent industrially
economically and socially" he de
clared.

PARIS, Aug. 7.-Although the French
government has promised to aid Russia
in its famine crisis and steps already
are being taken to get food to her starv-
ing millions there is considerable op-
position among the French people to
any extraordinary efforts on behalf of
the nation France feels betrayed her in
her crisis.
Prominent Frenchmen of letters are
replying to the appeal OF Maxim Gorky
by pointing TO the treason of Brest-
Litovsk. by calling attention to the
devastated regions Of France and by
aciduous comment on the number OF
Russian refugees seeking asylum in
France by virtue of Leninism. They
admonish Gorky to forsake the Soviets
and hint that aid might be given more
eagerly if, seizing this opportunity, he
should employ the power of his pen tC
encourage the Soviet government tc
see the light. The famine, they answer
to Gorky's appeal, is the result of the
destruction of social solidarity by Boil
Shevism.

Task Too Biz for Charity
- -
discussing the possibility of saving the
Russian people from famine, says that
the task is TOO great for charity; it is
a matter for the Russian people them
selves-the return TO civilized socla
order Capus says:
"Supposing there is a universal agree
ment made to help the Russians, lei
us ask ii it is possible in the economic
state Of the world to organize effective
aid to ten millions of men about tC
perish A glance at the terrible diff
culties will give an early reply
Moreover,e let US not place the matter
upon moral point Of view; the saving
of l0.00O.000 people is not question
of charity 1t is a question of govern
ment, of civilization and of social order
Such an effort does not depend upor
public subscription nor private zeal
1t ought TO be the duty of a nation t(
watch over its citizens, fore seeing fam
Inc and misery. A powerful people, as
the Russians, even when conquered ant
a prey to internal revolt, cannot bs
saved except by its own will. Th'
French Revolution had against it al
of Europe; it was blocked, there wa:
no bread. The convention, however
never made an appeal to pity; it de
tended itself against its enemies; il
knew how to be responsible for its e.
rors and crimes and to carry the burdel
! Of the country"
The Oeuvre. Paris socialist paper
on the other hand, takes the purely
humanitarian point Of view, saying:
ut is no longer Bolshevism, it is th'
100000 people that are starving; tn
social ideal may be disputed afterward
But at this hour all civilized people
have only one duty which rises abov

position. He affirms that it is a ques-
ton between eighteen or twenty cos
mopOlitan financiers OF the one side
and the mass Of Polish workers OIL the
other.
Ambassador Harvey, because he rep
resents the United States, is the most
carefully studied personality of all
those who have come to Paris to take
part in the conference. Although he
takes his seat at the table ostersibly
merely as an observer, he is lookel upon
by each party to the various contro-
versies as q potential ally and as one
who may have the deciding voice as
arbitrator or friend if the council
divides into factions.
1t is generally hoped that the Ameri-
can Ambassador bears instructions to
be more than a reporter of the pro
ceedings, that he will, as occasion
arises, have constructive gestions
to offer. However. in his official calls
to-day, he is understood to have given
no intimation of anv instructions be
yond those Of an impa ssive and benevo-
lent witness.
The American Ambassador has pre-
pared himself for taking his place in
the council by the study of the large
and various official correspondence
concerning the Silesian question and
other subjects. He has resolutcly re
fused all requests for a statement, and
spent most of the day in the country

Differ on Plebiscite Verdict

PARIS, Aug. (By The Associated
Press)..The controversy over Sllesia
arises from the different Interpreter
tions by the Allies and by Germany
and Poland Of the result of the pie
biscite. The original draft of the
treaty with Germany gave Upper ST.

In consequence of Germany's strong
protest, supported in the peace con-
ference by Mr.. Lloyu $icorge, 1t was de =
clded to apply the principle Of self
determination and organize a plebis-
cite under the supervision Of COM
mission, on which were to be repre-
sented Great Britain, France, Italy
and the United States. The United
States was never represented because
it did not ratify the treaty.

about an agreement at the council
table
Fate of Cabinets Involved
AS to the Individual issues which
viii come before the council, it is
agreed that Upper Silesia dominates
because it is most likely that the fate
of both the French and British prime
ministers in their own pariaments is
hanging on the outcome The opinion
here. undsguised in many cases, is
that if BRAND permits the cession Of
Upper Silesian industrial areas TO
Germany he may as we'll resign next
week, because the overturn of his min
istry viii be inevitable.
The Tribune is able tonight, al
though it is not permitted to quote
any individual, to give the opinion of
men high in French political circles,
of the type of former President Poin-
care. who believe that the fate of
France hangs on the diplomatic battle
which will begin tomorrow.
They realize that while Germany is
deprived of the Silcsian industrial dis
tricts she is not dangerous to France,
because her other industrial areas in
the Rhineland and along the Ruhr are
under French guns. They believe, how
ever, that once Germany is in posses
sion of the Sicsian territories she is d
distinct danger to France as we'll as
Poland. because in q DrIeT time she
will dominate, if not possess, all o1
West Prussia.
Isolated France Forecast
In such an event, Germany knows
France would occupy the Ruhr, but
France in that case would stand alone
unsupported by her allies and unable
to remain long there.
Thus, in word, it is feared that The
German military party in brief time
would be able to prepare her revenge
on France, who would be unsupported
by her European allies with the eX
ception of Poland.
Frenchmen of this school of think
ing are not trusting England's inten
tions, which they believe involve plar
to withdraw her military forces from
Continental Europe in order better tc
attend to British affairs elsewhere, es
pecially in Asia and the Pacific. Thu.
Great Britain would leave Europe il
such state that no nation would be il
a predominant position-Germany witt
Upper Silesia preparing for revenge
France, with a great army watching
Germany-just as in the days before
the war
1t is this fear whether or not it is
we'll founded, which complicates Pre-
inier Brands task in the Suprem,
Council and makes its outcome Of su
preMe Importance, not only to Europ,
but to the world.

the provinces, but these measures were
not productive Of great practical re-
suits and the people pinned their hopes
on a good harvest
Then the drought set in, with an
almost total loss to the crops in the
Nolga region, resulting in a hopeless
situation. Alarming reports began to
pour into Moscow not only Of famine
but of the mass migrations from the
Nolga regions, which the government
still is unable to control. Last year
the Soviet encouraged emigration, when
1888, ,68S persons were transferred to ST.
IBERIA, realizing the threat OF famine
which had been growing for several
years. The emigrants now often are
greeted by the natives with clubs and
rifles, but the governments efforts to
stem the tide Of emigration is without
appreciablc results.
During July, according to Mrs. Har-
rison, the heavy rains spoiled much Of
the hay crop. The government is max
ing an effort to save the livestock by
concentrating herds on the natural pas
turage slopes of the Ural Mountains
The peasants, however, are opposing
this plan, fearing they will never get
back their cattle.
The health situation, Mrs. Harrison
says, is distressing. While cholera is
under control, incomplete figures
showed there had been $4,000 cases to
the end of July, most of them in the
government of Astrakhan. There were
only 1876 cases in Moscow up to July 25
and the Health Department, which Mrs
Harrison said was exceedingly efficient
had done splendid work. 1t had under
taken ompulsory incubation through
out the country, and seemed to have
plenty of virus. Typhoid will be a
menace with the approach of the cold
weather. tuberculosis and venereal
diseases are making terrible ravages
among the people.
