Ss, Hopes of Czarist Restoration i Held by Russian Monarchists Lo Mar, 20---The shadowy but stout-hearted "White Army" of Russian monarchist exiles has sud- deuly stirred into intense activity again to pursue the faint hope of re- establishment of the glory of the Czars in the Soviet Republic. ghTompted by the present split in et political ranks and the increas- ing rumours of unrest throughout Russia, those thousands of men and women who fled from crumbling roy- alty in 1916 have again been encour- aged to believe that they may soon return to their native country as cons hp vy hange Telegraph dispatch n Exc from Berlin said Monarchist leaders had expressed optimistic hopes of re- storation of the Russian Empire with- in the next few Jeary , probably. after 1932.

European debts to the United States have never been mentioned in the meet ings, but they are, in fact, the ba- sis on wihch the chief figures will be arrived at. Whether this will be entirely on conditional payments is not yet established. It can only be predicted that one clause, if payments will be arrang- ed to cover all allied war debts to the United States, and whether German payments continue over 59 years to match them, depends on whether Germany would prefer to pay more annually for 37 years or less annually for 59, A Little Weaker Paris.--Marshal Foch was said by his physicians this morning to be a littlew eaker although he had a "fairly satisfactory night." His eli perature was 99.5 and his pulse 100. Mexico is making so much noise these days you can hardly hear Chicago.--~New York Evening Post. "an error in manoecuver" was respon- sible for the crash of the dirigible in the Arctic and the loss of seven members of\the crew. He vigorously attacked the Fascist commission which blamed him for the disaster. "There was no error of manoeuvre," he said, in an interview with the United Press, 'The manoeuvre was perfect as far as it could be under the terrible circumstances in which the failure of the Italia occurred." Nobile's resignation of his office of general in the Italian army and ac- ceptance of the resignation were an- nounced a few days ago, An official Fascist investigating commission laced full blame for the disaster on Nobile's shoulders. "If someone spoke of mistakes of manoeuvring the dirigible, I should have been confronted by him," the explorer continued, in his first state- ment concerning the charges of re- sponsibility for the crash as the Italia returned from the North Pole. "It is ridiculous to criticize a crew of men who had undergone the trial of 250 hours of flight under the most severe conditions, "As a matter of fact no member of the cc ission was petent to judge in matters of manoeuvres of dirigibles. It is worthy of notice that among the most important witnesses at the inquiry was an officer of high rank who, three years ago, was con- demned to a month's arrest for cal- umny against me." Given Four Years For Attempted Bribery New York, Mar, 20--Terms of four to eight years each in Sing Sing prison yesterday were 'impos- ed on Frank M, Berg, Jr, and Al- bert Levi, Queen's County politic- fans, who were convicted last week for attempted bribery of George U.

But I can assure you there is nothing of the super-man about him, Today he is just like a hunted rat flying from place to place, and eventually his capture must take place." Mr, Gibson wold not disclose DODDS KIDNEY TTS il JC] TN wer SS... | the information in the possession of the police in the pursuit of Bove tered about like merchandise, These untamed Berber people have been causing the magistracy some misgivings because of family traditions 'prevailing for centuries and in which civilized custom is very slow to penetrate, In the Kabyle tribe the woman is the property of the father or older brother and she is f'terally sold to her prospective kasband and delivered' only on thelr per- mission, When a husband repudiates his wife, which might be described a» the desert"s way of obtaining di- vorce, she goes back to the family avaiteg whatever fate shall bring er, The widow assumes almost the same status, She is 'goods and chattels," and if the family estab- lishment is disposed of, the widows and divorcees are a part of the bargain, The age of 14 is considered right for the beginning of the auc- tioning off of the daughters of the family, The new French project, prepar- ed by Ministers Barthou and 1a. dieu, first attempted to introduce Western customs in the Kabyle family by raising the marriagable age to eighteen, Physiological and social conditions prevailed, how- ever, and the Frenchmen now set fifteen years as the marriagabn age. As for the barter and sale, attempts are made to avoid it by having each marriage duly regis. tered and investigated in advance by the magistrates.
