Paris. Dee. 8.
The fears of would-be American d.
vorcees that 1t will be more costly In
the future to obtain secret DEGREES in
Paris because Of the possibility of the
applicants being compelled to pay income
tax here as proof Of their domicile arc
unfounded, according to one Of the most
prominent French divorce lawyers. "In
no case will the French tribunals de-
smand as necessary confirmation the pre-
sentation of an income tax receipt from
those desiring to plead for a divorce
here" he said.
Certain lawyers are pointing out that
residence In France. which is necessary
to obtain decree of divorce. entails GER
tain civic obligations such as the pay
ment of tax on income as well as on
capital which in the case of wealthy
Americans is likely to add between
100. 900 to 500, 900 francs to the cost of
a French divorce.
THE only requirements under the
law" says this authority. "are first,' that
the nation to which the parties belong
recognize the divorce; second, that the
most recent con1ugal domicile Of the
couple IS In France. Not only does the
law permit granting divorces to Ameri-
cans with a residence in France. but 1t
goes further and permits decrees for per-
sons residing here only temporarily and
whose residence is chiefly in hotels. 1t
would be only too easy II the French
courts merely demanded an income tax
receipt to defeat the purposes of the
law. as 1t would be possible for for
egner living abroad merely to pay a
years income tax and thereby render
the French courts competent to hear di-
vorce pleadings."f
The methods Of secrecy prevailing In
the French courts, he says. are neces-
sary to prevent unauthorized intrusion
into family affairs.

The German League OF Veterans OF

ton to the Government demanding the
reward Of iron crosses for their ser

The movement. which was started by
veterans of several branches of the SER

ment OF n plot to make scrap iron out
OF 1000 iron crosses not distributed 20
deserving soldiers. Recommendations
for award were made in many cases
before the end of the war but ignored
by officials after the revolution. The
veterans claim that as the crosses are
on hand. the Reichstag Is In duty bound
TO take action in recognition Of the
soldiers.
In the meantime the custom OF wear
Ing crosses and ribbons Is almost ex-
tinct. because they usually arouse dis
cussions for and against the new Gov
eminent. The souvenir shops are vairly
beseeching tourists TO buy deaths head
helmets, crosses and other war decora-
tions at ridiculously low prices. but

Manchester doctors fought with every

old. entered the hospital suffering from

in the morning when he was to have
been operated upon a deathlike pallor
overspread his features and his breath
ing stopped. The surgeons thought him
dead until they noticed that his pulse
was beating strongly Every sort Of
artificial respiration was resorted TO-,
but gradually the heartbeats grew
fainter and the man died at Q O'Clock.
The doctors present said that occa.
sionally there had been cerebral dis
eases where the heart action had been
known TO continue when breathing had
stopped. but never had they heard Of
heart action continuing so long. They
say the case has no precedent.

London. Dec. o.
The Rev. q. G. d. Wheeler. vicar Of
st. Barnabas's Church in Woodford, has
made an extraordinary public appeal to
Miss Gladys Pryce, former member Of
his congregation and a coworker, to
come forward and speak-if she is alive
Miss Pryce disappeared from her
home In Woodford ten months ago,
since when no trace Of her whereabouts
has been found. although her anxious
parents have searched all over England
Miss Pryce. who was young and beau
tiful was known to have been a close
friend Of Wheeler. In addition to assist
ing him in church work she collaborated
with him in the writing of a philosophi-
cal book dealing with the relation of the
church to marriage and love. She was
always bright and happy girl, but
suddenly without apparent reason she
left home.
The girl was last seen on the banks
of river. The river has been dragged
and everything has been done to find her
body, but without results. Considerable
gossip coupling the Wears name with
that Of the girl developed In the village.
He answered this by calling a meeting
of the congregation and boldly declar-
Ing that he knew nothing about the
girls disappearance. Since then he has
been seriously hampered In his church
work by the suspicion OF what he be-
lieves to -be the mistrust Of tho MEM
bers.
He has now written q letter to the
Church Times stating: Miss Gladys
Pryce must at least indicate that she is
alive, must do SO Immediately or my
work In the church will cease" He says
further that he Is left helpless in the
parish, the target for venomous shafts
launched by every person hostile to my
teaching. 1 may brave criticism and sit
tight IL I wish, but a cloud hangs over
my parish work. / must needs suffer,
and that I'll not allow any longer Into

responsibility cannot enter in this let
ter. My one question Is this: Ought our
bishops to be so fettered as to be OBJ
liged to leave so many unhappy, souls
under the case of SO unhappy priest
in such an unhappy parish?'
When interviewed, Mr.. Wheeler said {:
Everything depends on the discovery of
Miss Pryce, alive or dead. II she is
alive, she will answer this appeal. She
was devoted to church work-was so
earnest a church worker that II she
knew what Is going on In this parish
she would at once let US know where
she Is. All Of my people are very loyal
to me- but we are going through diff

have In this parish the parents whose

Six of Germany's best architects are
preparing plans and models for recon-
structing a small area in Cologne to
harmonic with the cathedral. The
models are to be submitted In competi-
tion under the auspices of the Cologne
Chamber Of Commerce and other organ
izations.
Since the middle of the last century
artists have been shocked by the In
harmonious surroundings Of the cathe-
dral. which, they said. looked like "a
beautiful vase upon an ugly. bare table"
The appearance was the result of the
destruction Of the medieval buildings
around the cathedral. and the erection
of modern structures which clash with
the old architecture and obscure the per-
spective.
The architects. among whom are Peter
Behrends and Herr Bestelmyer, two of
the best known in Germany, hope to
construct large building sloping down
toward the Rhine, so that the cathedral
will still be visible from the water, but
the vacant places will be covered. II 1:

Cleopatra seems to be rather popu-

she is Lord Byron and an actor who
claims he Is Bloody Mary. They be-
lieve that Queen Victoria was Alfred

Cicero. There Is no doubling their
honesty. 1t isn't pose with them, but

Now that Parisians have experienced
bakers strike, or rather that the
bakers have experienced a determined
strike on the part Of Parisians not to
pay more than a franc and two sous
for bread. hopes are running high that
soon the price Of other food commodities
win decrease. One Of the effects Of the
bakers strike has been the creation In
many provincial centers of consumers
unions. which have undertaken never
again to buy bread Of any baker who
strikes.
1t is also suggested that higher priced
butchers also shall be boycotted. In
the case Of milk, sugar and other gro
ceries, the unions intend to inform re-
tailers and wholesalers that unless there
Is forthcoming an order to decrease
the cost Of comm odities, the buyers will
strike in their turn. The number Of
such unions undoubtedly will Increase,
as already yelled threats are limited to
municipal authorities that in the future
the citizens will refuse to pay taxes un-
less the councillors quit speechmaking
about strikes and act against profiteers.
