seem to be very important, being for
the most part reports of the northern
situation and extracts from the yer
nacular papers for Borodin's informa-
ton, but they dispose of the allega
ton that Borodin is an unofficial ad-
wiser of the Cantonese. These docu-
ments, forwarded by the Soviet EN-
bassy here, were in diplomatic
pouches.
There are also several letters in
Chinese. One is q copy of resolution
adopted by some workers committee
or Soviet at Vladivostok 'pledging our
wholehearted support of the Chinese
revolutionary movement in its fight
against British imperialism and
Mukden militarism, particularly
against British imperialism because
of its financing Mukden nlilitarism.

SPEED OF PARIS DIVORCE MILL
SHOWS SIGNS OF SLOWING UP

By the Associated Press.
PARIS, July 9.-The European
Reno shows signs of tightening up its
divorce mill. French judges have be-
gun to inquire into the facility with
which Americans, previously un.
known as residents of France, acquire
legal domiciles in Paris.
A good deal of indignation IS eX-
pressed in legal circles that the
French law, stringently prohibiting
publicity in divorce cases. is a dead
letter as concerns divorces procured
in France by Americans. The minis.
try of justice is understood to be in
vestigating the leaks through which
divorce details get into American
papers. The result of this inquiry is
said by some French lawyers to be
likely to get somebody into the Cor
rectional Court, because the divulging
and publishing of details of divorces
is a misdemeanor.
Jack Pickford's Case.
Odds are offered that Jack Pickford
and Marilyn Miller. motion picture
stars, will never get their wedding
knot united in Paris. The trouble
in their case is diagnosed as too much
press agent stuff.
French judges read newspaper dis
patches from Los Angeles announcing
the departure of film stars, through
a perfect understanding between
them, for the purpose of getting a di-
vorce. This is regarded around the
PalaiS de Justice as stretching the
complaisance of the French courts to
the limit and giving a hard jolt to
the legal fiction whereby Los Angeles
people can acquire domicile in Paris
between steamers and get their mar
RAG obligations set aside meantime.
The theory of the French law re-
garding divorce is that it is immoral
to obligate two people who hate each
other to live together to the end of
their days. That is why divorce con-
ditiohs are easy. 1t is forgotten, how
ever, that at the same time the courts
regard it as equally immoral to pub
lish divorce proceedings.
SABBATH Opens Eyes.
The growing difficulties of obtain
ing divorces is made evident by the
case of a French girl married to an
American. She produced concierge's
certificate that she had lived in the
same house in Paris since her birth.
The court rejected this evidence and
required certificates from two per-
sons of different families living in the
same house. If this rule were ap-
piled to newly-arrived Americans. the
Importance Of the obstacle is obvious.

Long distance drumming is a new
sport in Belgium, and there is strong
competition as to who has the strong

distance of 25 miles. without stopping
and without ceasing to beat his drum
except for an hour for luncheon. A
Nimy drummer, named Robillard,
aged So, then made drumming jour-

n YEW YORK, September 13.-The
~ dramatic tennis battle be-
NJ tween French youth and Amer
/ lean experience. which was
won by the invaders in the
Davis Cup matches last week, is being
renewed in the national tennis cham
pionship.
All four of the French Davis Cup
PLAYERS came through the first round
of the tournament with the tri-color
flying. Smiles of confidence as well as
delight at the successful fulfillment of
their greatest ambition were in con-
trast to the determined manner in
which Big Bill Tilden and Little Bill
Johnston fought through their opening
matches.
In the first round three Of the
younger defenders of American ten
mis- hopes and one veteran vanished
from the tournament, leaving the task
of stopping the French to Tilden,
Johnston and Francis T. Hunter. The
three have undertaken it bravely, al
| though they failed in their attempt at
Germantown.
John Doeg, one of the promising
| younger players. was eliminated in his
first-round match by Kenneth B. APP
pei, Princetown star. Lewis n. White.
crack Texan, was beaten by Arnold
w. Jones of Providence. Doeg lost by
| 1913, 6-3, 3-6, GO, and White by
81, 6-3. I'll, 60.
Illness at the same time forced out
| George NJ. Lott, jr., Chicago youth
who has beaten Lacoste this year. and
the press of business caused default
tpf Richard N. Williams, seeded ex-
| champion.
| The three Americans and one Japa-
nese who faced the French in first
round gave them little trouble. The
| stolid Lacoste, who won the national
championship last year, started after
| a second similar conquest by beating
| Frank G. Owens of Atlanta, Ga, "a,

respectively, from Percy l.. Kynaston.

| Jean Borotra, most colorful of the
| four, gave a good exhibition of the
| tactics which the French have been
suspected of employing while playing
| in this country in advance of the
Davis Cup matches. Masking his real
ability, Borotra allowed Teizo Toba of
the Japanese Davis Cup team to gain
a two-set advantage, then came from
behind for a finish that made the
gallery howl. His scores were 3-6,
g, e., 6-3, TO.
Pale and slight as he is. Little

in winning at rs, 6-3, 10, from
