EXCHANGE RATES DECLINE. Delay of Great Britain in Establish- ing a Credit. New York Herald. The decline in sterling and French exchange was due to the en- ormous offerings of bills against war contraets, Those offerings were so large foreign exchange experts de- clared they indicated that a vast amount of the war contracts must have stipulated for payment in ex- change and not in dollars, as assert- ed in some quarters. Although rates closed at.the low- est of the day, the market was not without support. In that respect it differed from Thursday's market, which seemed to have been left en- tirely to its own resources. In the middle of the afternoon an impor- tant private banking house came in and bought about $5,000,000 of ex- change on London. That strength- ened the tone for the time being, but the weakness quickly returned. The delay of Great Britain in establish- ing a credit here was ascribed to the vast problem involved. "Great Britain is virtually financ- ing all the Allies," said the head of one national bank. "The British bankers want to solve the puzzle properly. They do not want to try any hodge podge financing. They realize it will require about $750, 000,000 to restore conditions in the. exchange market, and they do net want to try to meet that situation with a $50,000,000 or $100,000,000 credit, "The basis of their credit undoubt- edly will be American securities, of which more thar $2,000,000,000 are held in England. If the owners 'will not lend them to the govern- ment voluntarily on guarantee of in- terest something will be done to com- pel them to do so or to sell them. at could be accomplished by taxa- tion."

Pictorial Review, September, 1815. Scandinavia has originated the "conscience marriage." _ It'is with- out any legal tie. There is simply an annvuncement in the newspapers that this man and this woman take each othér for husband and wife. Fru Anna Wicksell, who studied law and got her degree when her grown son received his at the University of Lund, of which her husband is the rector, may not be interfered with in thé practise of law. For she Is not under the "guardianship" of her husband. _. It was at an internation- al éonvention that a group of women were discussing: What is perfect hap- piness? No one could tell exactly. Only 'Anna Wicksell answered smil- ing softly, "I have found it." She had just celebrated the twenty-fifth anniverBary of her "conscience mar- riage."
