us who are searching below the
surface OF things get over our
shiver of apprehension. Europe is

that of many other observers. that
Europe is in greater danger today
than in the first days OF August
eight years ago. 1t Is in danger of
chaos and decay worse In its ef-
fects than that OF the forgotten
war.
One thing has happened which Is
undeniable. 1t may still be doubted
by some people whether France and
Germany are going into bankrupt
cy. but II is certain that European
statesma nship has declared its own
bankruptcy. Poincare and Lloyd
George and the other foreign pre-
mlers in London separated without
any further pretence at agreement
even as far as any patchwork poll
cy OF compromise. 1t was an alb
solute breakdown. Between the
governments of France and Eng
land it was an absolute split.
Meaning Is TrnEic.
The meaning OF that happening
is tragic. 1t means that European
statesmanship has definitely aban-
doned all attempt to reach a COM
mon policy of reconstruction and
peace. that Europe is now given
over to rival policies of national
self-interest and hostile groups of
powers searching desperately to Sc
cure their position in the great
struggle for economic life.
There is no longer any thought
for the common veal of Europe, to
which at least some lip service was
paid by France as well as Britain.

Girls Marry at Is.
Men marry between Is and 20:
A man has as many wives as he
can afford. but the cost of living
strikes an average at about two per
man.
Both parents and daughter strike
a good bargain when time comes
to marry on the girl. The only
essentials to matrimony are the
consent of the parents and the bride
- a. h.r
by the aspiring male. The husband
contracts with the mother of the
prospective bride to work for her
or support her and her daughter; or
the man may agree to pay the fam
lily debt in return for the hand of
the daughter.
When the parties have lived to-
gether for more than a year. the
union is held by native law to have
crystallized into legal marriage.

any direct bearing on the life of
the citizens? Is it all Illusion, tn $

of this state or that? Did the
breakdown of the London confer
