RUSSIANS SEEK
ANOTHER CHANCE
CONFERENCE MEMBERS Bellows
THE WAY is PAVED FOR
NEW PROPOSAL
Plan Is Suggested That Claims b
Settled Privately; Bolshevik
Attitude Defined; To Make
Payments Soon

The Hague--W the allied and
ieutral delegates devoted the Sabbath
to driving golf balls around the can
ais and sand dunes, the Russians put
their heads together and framed a
letter to M. Patyn, president of the
non Russian commission, In an effort
to resurrect the conference, which.
though officially dead, is disturbing its
heirs and embalmers by winking its
Dyes and kicking in its coffin, and
showing other signs of life.
The letter again defines the Bolshe-
yik attitude in a way calculated to
make the Russian peasant on one
hand think they are standing pat, and
the allied and neural delegates be-
lieve that M. Litvinoff is receding on
every point responsible for the rup-
ture. The letter, which will be for
warded, comes as an answer to let
ter from M. Patyn informing M. Lit
yinoff that the debts sub commission
sees no further use for continuing ne
gotlations, but announces that 1t Is not
forward new proposals.
The Russians letter as outlined by
the reds begins by asking the allies
and neutrals to state the total amount
of compensation desired for national
lied properties, which they agree to
pay as far as possible. The Russians
demanded to know the extent OF
claims before, and now they say in
verbal propaganda that the allies and
neutrals fear an answer because the
amount is so staggering, exceeding the
German Preparations figures, that even
America would see the necessity OF
slashing the figures from 80 to rs
per cent.
The letter avoids using the word
credit, but 1t again asserts that Rus
sia's ability to meet its obligations de-
ponds upon help received from out
side countries. It asks that If the
countries are willing to help in recon
struction, how far are they prepared
to 20 to this end. 1t carefully ex-
plains the reason for desiring to know
the extent of claims against Russia
81 so that the Bolshevik can arrange
q system for payment
A restitution of property in many
cases is impossible, even If Russia if
willing, it is asserted.
A recommendation is made that the
Russians be permitted to settle pri-
vate claims with the private holders,
agreeing to consider the claimant &C
cording to category instead OF indi-
The Bolsheviki promise that
20 per cent of the claims can be set
tied privately to the satisfaction OF
private holders, agreeing to arbitrafe
the other 10 per cent which cannot be
settled otherwise.

doomed we decided to leave her.

London.-French parents know no
better than English parents what to
GO with their daughters, writes a
Paris correspondent of the Times.
When marriage fails, or is unduly de-
layed, action becomes imperative. For
merly, marriage was the invariable
remedy; today there are not enough
men to go round, and girls must look
Tor some alternative to wifehood and
motherhood when they leave school.
An aim In life is essential. Their
parents are the first to realize this,
ana turn reluctantly from nlatchmak-
ing to the choice of career. The girls
are less reluctant, because they do not
despair of finding a husband and are
glad to think they may meet him and
choose him for themselves.
sometimes their dreams are realized,
and there are many happily married
women in France who have been
wooed and won in the English way.
They met their husbands through their
work. The numbers of educated gen.
tlewomen who are earning their living,
or preparing to do so, increase every
year. The liberal professions include
many qualified women. There are q
rev notable cases where women are
associated with big business concerns,

ture women sometimes direct their

mime movement towards outdoor man.

French Marriage
Customs Change

shell too much of q woman to stand
alone.
That there are French women who
understand that their daughters must
be better armed for life is evident,
but they belong more generally to the
petite bourgeoisie than to the grande
0ourgeoisie, or the aristocracy. Not
until quite lately have women of the
upper classes contemplated taking up
paid work outside their homes, and
the prospect confounds them. Many
mothers would like to see their daugh-
tiers married unsuitably rather than
not married and forced to earn their
living.
New Occupations Open.
The result is the girls of today are
turning their eye to occupations which
hitherto have been forbidden. The

She strives to keep her wage-earn-

twenty-five years.
When I commenced using It was
selling hardware on the road. One Of my
customers who kept general store told
me that he had just received a new to-
bacco and wished that would try It.
He gave me box for which he charged
me zee. He made a mistake, as it was
selling at that time for 25c. liked it
30 we'll that made 1T point to ask for
1t In every store in the different towns
that made; but few had 1t. The next
time that called on this customer
bought six boxes, which would last until
/ got around again. still continued to
ask foritin the different towns and tried
to induce the dealers to stock 1t.
In 1906 or 1907 went to So. Carolina
and stayed there three years. I was sur
prised not to be able to get it there. At
that time was in Beaufort, s. c., and
made frequent trips to Savannah, Ga,
and Charleston, 6. C. and was unable to
get 1t in either of these cities. Finally
ordered some direct from you and also
induced dealer in Beaufort to stock it.
I have used it always for over twenty
