BERLIN, June 13-The chief of
Berlin's protective police has issued
An order forbidding sub-lieutenants
marrying at this time, with the re-
suit that many police officers are
threatening to leave the force. An
exceptionally large number of appli-
cations to the chief, Col. .Kapupisch,
for permission to get married prompt
ed the chief to issue the ban on mar
riages.
Flats are SO scarce and we have
so little space in our barracks that
we cannot permit more than three
members of the farce to get married
each month" reads the order.
The number of applications has
been averaging between thirty and
forty a month and the police officers,
many of whom have already bought
their furniture. are greatly excited
over the chiefs new policy. Ninety
per cent of the police must live in
barracks, according to the regula-
tOns. Members of the police force
are now circulating a petition to
Minister of the Interior Severing, de-
mandipg that Col. Kapupisch's order
be rescinded, otherwise the police

ROME. June 19.-Negro slaves in
lower Nigeria are generally content
ed. do not seek freedom and are not
maltreated by their black owners.
Each has his own horse and plot Of
ground and works part Of the time
for himself. These statements are
made by Father Grandin, a mission
ary. and are published in the Osser-
vatore Romano. A slave can become
free by paying a certain sum, which
may vary from $50 to 500. A woman
is worth $25 and a child $12. They
do not seek freedom because they
are protected by their owners.
When a Christian attempts to buy
a wife from a polygamous, pagan the
affair becomes rather complicated, the
owner insisting that a dowry be paid
10 her parents. This amounts to any
sum from $50 to 500.

w. Lamont, head of the international
Committee of Bankers on Mexico, ar

last night. Mr.. Lamont has been in
Europe comforting with the interna-

the Mexican situation and will act as
the spokesman and principal nego-

Accompanying Mr.. Lamont from Eu-
rope were Edward r. Peacock. director
of the Bank of England; J. Chevalier OF

conference because the boldholders OF
his company were intensely interested
in the financial stability of the country,
but he refused to comment on the plans
or the outcome of the negotiations. The
rest of the delegation were equally reti-
cent.
Although there has been no inkling OF
what the Mexican bankers will propose
as a means of settlement of the finan-
cial situation, reports from Mexico city
indicate that Mr.. Lamont and the Nor
gan interests will be asked to take over
the entire external debt of the country
and act as an intermediary with the
foreign creditors.
Mexico Is indebted directly to foreign
countries by nearly $4,000, 900. and
no interest has been paid on any loans,
either domestic or foreign, since 1914.
The internal debt amounts to about $780,
0000 900. not including the bonds guar
anteed by the Mexican Government and
the Indebtedness of the National Rail-
ways.
Several conferences already have
taken place with a view to adjusting
the financial difficulties-the last one
being in the fall of 1921, when Mr.. La
mont went to Mexico city at the invita-
tion of the Government-but no salts
factory basis of settlement ever has
been reached.
The arrival of Secretary de la Huerta
has been regarded in Washington as a
preliminary step to a renewal of the
plea for recognition, but 1t was stated
that no such thought was in his mind
or those connected with his delegation.
