" Denies Haldane's Claim That Kai- “~ser Foiléd Eiforts for Peace. bk Londen, July 20.—The “Berlin Nord Allgemeine Zeitung” publishes what purports to be the details of the nego- tiations in 1912 looking to an Anglo- German rapprochment, in which Vis- igount Haldane, then British secretary of state for war, taok a prominent, . part. The substance of the article is * published “in order to disprove Vis- ,?ount Haldane's statement that his ef- "forts for pehce were frustrated by ‘Germany.” ° “According to an official statement #pe newspaper points out, Germany ffered different forms of neutrality. iThe first draft of the treaty ran:. “Should one of the contracting par- ties become engaged in war with one or more powers, then the other con- ** tracting party shall adopt at least an attitude of benevalent neutrality and exert every effort to localize the con- fiiet.” ‘ England’s Counter-Proposal. ) ™ England declined to accept this, “and made the following counter-pro- posal: - “England shall make na unpro- voked attack on Germany and ‘shall refrain from aggressive policy with " regard to Germany. An attack on Germany forms the basis of no treaty, nor is such object aimed at in any combination to which England be- ngs and England will not be a party *? any arrangement which aims at such an attack.” Not Acceptable To Gcmlny. W \ This proposal was not acceptable to Germany. The words ‘“‘unpro- Woked attack,” says the statement as _guéted by the paper, were held to be too elastic to form the basis of = special treaty of friendship, in that .a._.__._ ' of Second Day’s Program of Grand Circuit Meet.

Gomparison of American Revolu- tion and European Conflicts. Portland, Ore., July 20.—The high cost of warring, when the campaigns of Wnshington are compared to the luropean -conflict, was emphasized in the.report of the registrar general of the Sons of American Revolution at the first day’s session of thé so- clety's twenty-sixth annual conven- tion here. Thomas Jefterson, he said, review- ing the finances of the revolution, estimated” the cost of the war 'at an average of $17,500,000 a year. That sum now is scarcely more than Great Britain’s war cost for a single) day. The total cost of the re\'olutlon—ap- proximately $140,000,000 covering a period of eight years is less than the total cost of the European war for 2 month, Education of Alien, The committee on information of Aliens reported great activity during the last ve ih, promoting ‘the edu- catlon®of {1 afien populaton to the advantdges of JAmérican citizenship. With Varld{id Sdciettes ana municipal- ities, the Hociaty has co- operated in establishing courses in civil govern- ment .and other subjects tending to the enlightenment of those of for- eign birth. The committee pointed out that of the three million souls which peopled "the thirteen colonies, one fifth’ could not speak English, one-half was of other than Angle- Saxon descent. and even now in some of the States the proportion of for- eign born is as great as thirty per cent, Detained. efforts to educate aliens to the allegiance and obligations of American citizenship were described. Personal letters have been sent to more than fiftcen hundred judges of federal and state courts having juris. diction over naturalization, urging that/the ceremony of administering the oath of allegiance be made a solem and impressive one. It is sug- gested that on such occasions the pre- siding judge or some citizen of high standing in ‘the community ad- dress the prospective citizens upon the importance of the fact of trans- ferring allegiance from one nation to another. and- the obligations which accompany it. The committee ex- pressly recommended the promotion of such meetings as that held in Philadelphia on May 10, last, when President Wilson addressed several thousand recently naturalized Ameri- cans and welcomed them to the priv- ileges of American institutions. Ignorant of Constitution. "Much ignorance, the committee re- ported, had been found among school children, and eyven, adults, regarding the constitution of the United States, In many parts of the country it was found that fundamental .documen: Wwas not'for sale in ready form. The Society recently has. distributed one hundred thousand coples to night schools and settlements of aliens. ‘While much of a statistical naturs has -been - preserved and handed down relating to the Continental ar- mies, the little Navy which carried the newest flag to the seven seas has not fared so well.

British vessels to the number of 797 were captured :and with ‘their cargoes, were valued at $24,000,000. The American navy mustered then about 70,000 men, and 2 majority of the names of those heroes were not left for posterity. The navy won 70 per cent. of its en- gagements; the army won forty. Re- seaches now being prosecuted in state archives and colléctions of his- torical societies as well as private collections of manuscripts to make as.complete as practicable a publica- tion by the government of the con- tinental army and navy muster roll. More than thirty thousand. records have been found so far chiefly in Massachusetts, Virginia and North Carolina. GREAT MEN SONS OF OLD PARENTS C. L. Redfield of Chicago, Holds That Early Marriages Are Conducive to Immorality. San Francisco, July 20.—Contrary to popular beliefs that early marriages are particularly conducive to morality, C. L. Redfield, of Chicago, addressing the International Purity Congress here yesterday declared that they Wwere more conducive to immorality. The biographies of the great men of the world, particularly the moral and: religious reformers, furnished evidence, he said, that great men were the sons of old parents who had done much work. Confucius, who was born when his father was 71 years of age; Buddha, whose mother was 45 when he was born; Moses, whose three generations of ancestors spanned 185 years; and King David, who was the son of Jesse's old age; and who became the father of Solo- mon when 52 years old, were some instances he cited. In contrast, in this age, in this country, he pointed to.the widespread practice of marryln‘ young that in many states grooms in knickerbockers and brides in short dresses were even recognized by law, and said: “I say to you, positively, that these young—so j SCEHES IN NEW YORK HRT/ON/?L GUHRD E/YCflMPMENT Thousands of persons daily visit the camp of the First brigade of the New York national guard at Fishkill Plains, N.

Heretofore you have | baséd your judgment in such matters on common sense, but I am telling you now that there is a sound scien- tific reason, heretofore overlooked, why such marriages are an injury to the race.. The injury is not to those who marry, but those who come after | them. The product of those early marriages is the first step in the pro- duction of those forms of vice which we always have upon our shoulders to eradicate: “I am not asking that all marriages be delayed to the age of 25 or 30 years. That may or may not come in the future wHen we know more than we do now. but at present I am asking that we put a stop to he marriage of children—a sop to that kind of repro- duction which breeds the mentally and morally unfit.” that | be to STATE DIRECTORS OUTING, Arrangements have been made for the annual outing of the directors of the Connecticut Chamber of = Com- merce which will be held at Momau- guin on Thursday, July 29, The president and secretary of the state board of trade will be present as in- | ducted 1 awarded. vited guests and several prominent business as President E.
