TEXAS Immorality Wave Sweeps ie In Wake Of War Europe By DeWITT MACKENZIE Associated Press Foreign Analyst French constituent assembly has made the sensational move of approving a bill for the suppression of prostitution in metropolitan France, thus striking a heavy blow nt one of the forces most destructive to the moral fibre of chaotic Europe, for the old world is experiencing a plague of sexual immorality and its attendant disease which far exceeds anything it ever has known before.

The move is all the more striking in that legalized houses of prostitution have been permitted since 1877 and there are now some 3,000 in operation, doing a business which runs into millions.

Measures also are to.be taken for the reeducation and rehabilitation of prostitutes. In order to make a clean sweep the law provides heavy penalties for cnfe and hotel proprietors who allow their-premises to be used by prostitutes. The crusade which was culminated in the new French law was begun last autumn by Madame Marthe Richards, a Par-is municipal councillor who won fame as a spy In first World War, Mme.
