FOR ANTI-SUFFRAGE

MONTREAL. Quebec. February
1s.-An episcopal. letter. congratu
lating women of Quebec who are
opposing the woman suffrage
movement in this province. WIS
issued by Monsignor r. L. Roy,
coadjutor of Cardinal Begin. today.
Monsignor Roy declared women
suffrage was against the funda-
mental traditions and faith of the
French Canadian race.
Women are allowed to vote in
federal elections in Quebec. but
not in provincial contests. Re-
Gently delegation of women
waited on Premier Teschereau at
Quebec and asked for the pro-
vincial vote. The premier voiced
opposition, but said the govern

behind the vote movement that a
bill would be brought down giving
them the provincial franchise at the
present session of the legislature.

DIVORCES BECOME FAD
IN PRUSSIA, where ONCE
CASES WERE DISGRACE

By Cable to The Star and Chicago Daily
News. Copyright. 1922.
BERLIN. Germany, February 1S.
Before the war Prussia was one
of the countries where divorces
were few and far between, but tt
promises soon to become a rival
of Nevada. The Prussian diet is
about to pass a bill admitting in
compatibility as a ground for di-
Vorce. Until now. grave and re-
peated acts of cruelty. infidelity,
insanity and desertion for longer
than four years were the only
grounds on which Prussian judges
granted legal separation. Divorces
consequently were not only rare,
but questionable.
Like almost everything else,
that has been changed by the war;
old traditions have been discarded
and in postwar German society
divorces have become quite fad.
The nationalists and centrists are
the only parties opposing the bill,
which, they claim. will further
disrupt family life in Prussia.

The Compleat Agnostic

two hours, when | shall have studied the
matter out"
Invariably the unbiased diner would
wind up by ordering everything on the
bill of fare
On election day he went with his ballot
into the booth and put his X alongside of
all the candidates in the Democratic col
umn; then he hoped over to the next
space and voted for all their Republican
opponents.
There is much muttered this fair
minded voter, as he folded his ballot, ito
be said for both sides"
When he died and went up to the Pearly
Gates this was the question they put to
him:
Young man. now that your period of
probation on earth is done, tell us: Have
you behaved yourself or not?"
The candidate for heavenly honors
paused and pondered.
Il have" he replied, land [ haven't"
So in great quandary over the dis
position of this anomalous case they
stretched the complete agnostic like a
rubber band and left him suspended, with
his feet in the flames and his head in the
clouds and his midriff midway between
heaven and hell.
Which considerate arrangement suits the
gent to a t.
There is much says he from the aery
where dwels his cranium ito be said for

condition of my feet l would scarcely APP

The New York herald., 1922-12-31

THERE was once man who despised
prejudice more than any vice or
peccadillo that ever existed.
He was a complete agnostic.
He believed that there were two sides to
every question. and he stoutly stood up
for both of them.
If from the security of your hearthside
you asked him Hotc is the iceother to-dayF
he would deliberately reply:
ITS good and it's bad. 1t all
depends on what you mean by good
weather"
If you asked him whether or not it was
raining he would say:
"It is-and it isn't! 1t all depends on
what you consider as rain"
When interrogated at the altar would
he take this woman to be his lawful wife?
habit so prevailed with him that he re-
sponded:
Il do, and l DON'T"
He did however: and later when ques
toned by stranger if he had wife he
made this reply:
Il have, and I haven't. There is a
lady living who married me, but she is at
present summering in Reno"
In restaurant he was like the indecisive
mule whose head had been interposed
equidistantly between two equally tempting
feed bags.
Have little oysters sir? the waiter
would politely suggest.
Il will and 1 won't. 1t all depends on
what you mean by oysters" Then he
would add Il like to give all these dishes

speaks of his high poetic gifts Perhaps
in Scotland there still may be some poems
associated with his name; in America there
is only one.
The city editor of the Herald turned to
Rose, one day in 1897, after one of the
characteristic outbursts of the German
Emperor, and said: Gordon, give us some
verses about the Kaiser" An hour later
Rose turned in a set of sixteen stanzas
entitled KAISER & Co" They were pub
lished the same day, but through some
mistake on the part of the makeup man
only half of them appeared in the first
edition of the paper Rose noticed the
mistake and in the later editions the COM
plete poem appeared. but it was the first
edition which got into the mails, and so
when the poem was copied by other papers
it was only eight stanzas long. This is
the complete version as Rose wrote it:

Montreal, Aug. 30.-Two photo graphs-one a faded, old-fashioned likeness of a man taken thirty-two years ago, and the other mere men, tai picture of a baby boy-were the only clues that could identify to each other yesterday two men whose mu- tual search had lasted nineteen years.
 In the lobby of a hotel, the two men met. one fortifying his memory with glances at the yellowing picture in his hand the other striving to re- call the features that were pictured only in his mind. The machine made picture proved useless, but the phan- tom mind photo was true
 Bernard Leveque reached forward and embraced his boy, whom he had not seen for 2s years. His son. with the old photograph in his hands, failed to recognize his father
 The death of Leveque's wife forced him to put his two sons in an or phanage in Ogdensburg, N. Y, Ys years ago. The old boy-a lad of but Bernard Jr. thrived. Every summer for 19 years. whenever his work in New York permitted him a vacation, he spent 1t in searching for his father.

 AS the result of an advertisement word was brought to the boys room yesterday that stranger was waiting to gee him. The stranger was his father. Both will now live at the boys home in New York.

ENTOMbED MINERS
 ARE THOUGHT DEAD
ReSCuerS Fal--Y Victims Wife Tells
 Of Prem0nition

Jackson, Calif., Aug. 30.-Hope of rescue for the AT prisoners of the Argonaut gold mine waned today. Picked miners of the mother lode country working with desperate earnestness that leaves them exhaust ed at the end of their six hour shifts battered away at the thin but in- credibly tough wall of slate that separates the Kennedy mine from the Argonaut at $500 foot level. Beyond that wall in the lower levels of the Argonaut are the 47 who have wait ed helplessy since fire above them cut them off from escape at midnight Sunday.
 The men from the U. s. Bureau of Mine Rescue crew have been going down in the burning mine in relays. This morning they reported that they again had reached the 2,7oo foot level from which a crew was driven last night. The smoke was intense there and the fire was reported rag ing fiercely below that point. The flames are said to be gradually creeping up the shaft.
 The Amadora county Red Cross has a group of 20 women on duty serving hot coffee and sandwiches and comforting the grief stricken families of the entombed men,
 Superintendent Garbarini has or dered newspapermen and moving pie ture operators excluded from the mine property.
 Tells of PremonitiOns.
 Mrs. George Steihman whose hus- band is imprisoned in the mine, tells ] story of strange premonition which came to him Sunday evening before he left his home to go on shift.

Frustrated in Escape Attempt, They Threaten Hunger Strike But
 Apply Torch.

Dublin, Aug. 3o.-The disturbances yesterday in Maryborough prison where between 600 and 700 irregu- lars are interned, occasioned the is- suance of the following official army report late last night:
 "Yesterday (Monday). a tunnel was discovered by the authorities in Mary borough prison and three irregular prisoners were found trying to es- cape. AS a result of the discovery of the tunnel disciplinary measures were enforced An ultimatum later was sent to the governor of the prison by the leader of the irregular prisoners in which 1t was stated they would go on hunger strike at noon today.
 This step was not taken. but at o'clock in the afternoon each prison CT set fire to his mattress and bed clothes and all rushed into the con- pound In the disturbance which followed five prisoners were wounded. The fire was brought under control and subsequently, extinguished. No prisoners escaped"

ACTIVE,IN
 CANADIAN POLITICS
New Premier of Manitoba Is Az, riCultwEt-- at Parliament

Winnipeg, Man. Aug. 3O.-The re-
 cent election Of John Bracken as premier of Manitoba, lends greater emphasis to the rise of farmers to political power In Canada, in the opinion of leaders of the farmer movement. Premier Bracken unani- mously was selected to head the provisional government following the triumph of the farmers party in Manitoba, these leaders point out. The new premier Is an expert agricul- turist and never has taken an active part in politics or attended session of parliament.
 MT. Bracken is one of a company of distinguished farmers who in the last few years have risen to political prominence in Canada. Premier Drury of Ontario, Premier Greenfield of Alberta and Premier Oliver of British Columbia all are farmers. In the last Dominion election. 66 farm- CTS were elected out of total mem- bership of 23s in the federal House of Commons.
 MT. Bracken, 39. Is tho youngest premier ever elected In Canada, with the exception of the late Sir Richard Mcbride of British Columbia. He was born on farm in Leeds county. On. tario, and was warden of his counfy while still in his teens. He grad uated from the Ontario Agricultural college at Guelph, taking three scholarships and one efficiency medal
 He was member of the first live stock judging teams which won the championship at the International Livestock show in Chicago Having supplemented his college course with postgraduate work in universities in the United States, he came to Mani- toba as representative of the Domin- ion Seed Branch and on the forma- ton of the province of Saskatche- wan in 1905. was made superinten- dent of institutes and fairs and live stock commissioner.

BRITISH PLAYERS
 CRITICIZE ETHICS New Expression Meets With Much DisapproVal

London, Aug. 30.-To say in Eng land of anybody's conduct it ism cricket" is an expression of strong disapproval, for cricket, the national game, Is believed to show the Eng lishman at his best Yet cricket it. self today is being strongly censured.
 Here are some names printed in an account of cricket match between two country clubs Holmes, Sutcliffe, Rhodes. G. Wilson, H. L. Higgins A. M. Carr, Tarbox, Povey, c. s. Hurst, Robinson, L. w. H. Troughton.
 Observe carefully that some of them are preceded by initials and some are given without initials And it is just the presence or absence of initials which shows where cricket isn't cricket according to the critics Those whose names are preceded by initials are amateurs and socially are accounted gentlemen" those who are given their surrames only are thereby known to be professional and are not entitled to be considered gen tlemen."
 It would cause trouble in any Eng fish newspaper office if. in giving the scores in any first class cricket match the name of an amateur player should appear without his initials. And it would cause just as much trouble if a professional should be dignif1ed by putting initials before his name.
 Cricket Is the only game played here in which amateurs and profes- sionals play together as members of the same team. They meet on fami- far terms on the field and social dis tinctions are never obtruded there.
 But, they are in evidence all the same if one knows where to look for them. There is one dressing room provided for the gentlemen cricketers and another for the professional cficketers. They must not take tea together; for the sacred function cricket etiquette requires that they should occupy separate refreshment quarters.
 The democratic tendencies of the day have leveled more than one Brit i fish class distinction no less invidious than this discrimination against team mates in the nationa. game.
