By Marguerite Mooers Marshall. The eugenic principle of marriage has just deen formally affirmed in the courts of New York. In a remarkable opinion, which he himself admitted to be without precedent in the judicial records of the State, Supreme Court Justice Blanchard has upheld the eugenic right, the right of the child to be well born. He has granted the application by Mre. Sarah Sobol to have her marriage to Joseph Sobol annulled because Sobol was a victim of tuberculosis when he married her and concealed the fact. His own physician testified that he was afflicted with an incurable form of the disease. Justice Blanchard said it seemed to him that it would be a perversion of justice to refuse to release a party from a matrimonial contract that might result {= evil to the offepring. 1 give the text of this sane and sig- nificant decision. “It fe for the court, in the exercise of sound discretion and with regard to public policy because of the peculiar nature of the contract, to determine whether or not the misrepresentation of the fact and the probable consequences to be expected are of sufficient importance to | gause the court to exercise ite power to dissolve the contract in the | Interests of the parties and of the public at large. | wt do not think it should be the repeatedly, as he talks, the forward Policy of the courts to sustain the fieeng id ale shin italicizes and under. obligations of a union which “What,” I asked him, “are the prac | would ental’ the bur Ww Ge Moa) ow ale Foswlations rrnien you dangers that would follow under | wo! @ to see in force “There is the physical qualifica- the circunstances, This includes m in - the danger of transmission and | {soy CE Wich weve just Deen peak: heredity that even sclence cannot rehabilitate my finances.” Information reached Mr. Herrick yesterday by wireless, through Capt, Dumont of the Rochambeau, that the French Government has bestowed upon bim the Grand Cordon of the Legion of Honor, which is the highest degree of that decoration and is borne by but a few. Mr. Herrick had al- ready been honored with a lower de- gree. Regarding efforts to put him to the frent as a candidate for the Repub- Mean nomination in 1916 Mr. Herrick seta: “Such talk is nonsense,” -“Such talk as that Is nonsense,” he declared, “If any credit is due me for the little I have done in attending to the duties suddenty imposed upon me by the outbreak of the war in Burope, | certainly do not wish to capitalize it,. And right now I want to say I shall refuse to discuss Amer- ican politics, about which I am, of course, uninformed at this time,” Mr. Herrick said the destitution caused by the war is appalling. None but those who have encountered con- he conflict conception of the widespread devastation that prevails, he declared. QRGANIZATION NEEDED IN AD-| MINISTERING WAR CHARITY. “The American people in this con- flagration,” he said, “have shown a great heart for the oppressed Kuro- ns. “But we need a clearing house for charity in Europe, The consulates and embassies are overwhelmed with work. A clearing house would mean 10 per cent, in effectiveness, Already there are rumors of waste and in- efMficienoy, and we must be in a posi- tion when it is all over to show what) we have done.” As Mr. Herrick went ashore at the French Line pier he was greeted with cheers from the big crowd awaiting! his arrival, Ohloans and New York- era joined in the demonstration.
