Mrs. Elsie Clews Parsons, wife of Herbert Tarsons, proposes an innovation in social customs in an article she published in a current issue of a magazine. Hubby and wifoy should not bother each other, but should treat one another in a matter of fact way; and if hubby wants to jro there and wifey here, let 'em do it! If they do not wish to dine tog-ether, all right, too! If they do not enjoy going out together, why seek the divorce court? Instead, social custom should allow them to follow their own inclinations, is the opinion of Mrs. Parsons. Mrs.

Parsons believes that husbands and wives should receive separate invitations to affairs: Mrs. Parsons says: "The married, whatever their type, may be expected to regulate their conjugal relations to suit themselves. They can go out together, or not, as they please. If they do not happen to agree about it, that, too, is a private matter. There is no reason why outsiders should step in as they do now in the etiquette of the joint invitation to back either one or the other." i i Ii iM.

The following statement was issued Thursday night by the Pritish embassy: "A suspicion appears to have been aroused in the I lilted states that the F.ritish censorship of mails is being used as a tin atis of capturing American trade and American markets by using the trade secreta of neutral firms, and that such lhform.v.ton is being communicated by officials of his majesty's government to private persons the United Kingdom with this object. "Any such use of the censorship la directly contrary to tile poire ot his majesty's government and contrary to tin it orders. Any action of this kind taken by an official of his majesty's government would, therefore, constitute an offense under tho 'act to prevent disclosure, of official documents and Information' of 13 1 1.

Secretary Lansing to. lav received verbal Information from Ambassador Page at London on the Finish blockade, mails and blacklist which he did not dare to trust to the mails, owing to the espionage exercised by the Pritish coyeriiiiier even over official documents sent by mail.

The supreme test between Russians and Teutons in tho Carpathians has begun. A battle of unprecedented ferocity is raging in and around the Jublomca or lurtar puss. The initiative continues on the Kussian side. The Russians "continuing their advance," in words of today's Petrograd official report, "approached the summit of the mountain in the vicinity of Koros-mezo." This places the Russians already Inside Hungary, Korosmezo lying five miles west of the Galician border. The mountain in question is tjj7 meters high.

The Teuton positions on it are being battered by the czar's big guns trom the mountain south of Jablonica. 400 feet higher. While the heavy artillery duel rages across the border from these two mountains, the ciaii-mander is hurling his infantry legions Into and through the Tartar pass, possession of which is to open to the Muscovites the road to the Hungarian plain. The town of Korosmezo liefi on the taihvay from Stanislau to Maramaros Sziget, the immediate Hungarian objective of the Russians. It is seven miles southwest of Jablonica, which fell to the Russians four days ago.

The pass of the same name, however, still is stubbornly defended by the Austro-Gcrman forces tinder General von Koevess. once it is taken the Russians can sweep from Korosmezo, three and one-half miles from the pass, down toward Maramaros Sziget. astride the railway.

In the process of clearing the region southwest of Stanislau of Teuton defenders, tho left wing of General Lctehitsky's army Friday captured the tewn of Lysieta (Lysiec), six miles from Stanislau.

A series of heights was taken by the Russians in the- direction of Ardzeluz. on the Meldavica, far to the east of the Carpathians.

The terrific gulf hurricane which two days ago started west, across the West 'indies, and wrought such havoc in Jamaica, Friday afternoon struck tlahesion a glancing blow and fell with full force upon Hrownsv ilk-, overwhelming the troops encamped here with a mighty wind and a flood of rain. Governor Punne of lllnois had just finished his inspection and left when the camp was turned into a morass. The entire miliutry camp here was flooded by the unprecedented downpour of ram. and all wiles were flattened by the hurricane accompanying it. The troops were literally drowned out of camp and have to he quartered in the city hall, the courthouse and some big warehouses.

At the same time he sent the house a lengthy message, making it plam this action was entirely due to tho incorporation into the measure of a provision that retired officers should not be subject to the articles of war. The president's message follows: The house of representatives: "I have carefully considered the bill entitled 'An act making appropriation tor the support of the army for the fiscal year ending June 30, 1917' and now take the liberty of returning it with my objections to its approval. "The bill constitutes an essential part of the legislation providing for tne military establishment of the country and wisely and generously provides for the reorganization of the agencies of our national defense and it is with genuine reluctance that I delay its becoming law by suggesting tha elimination of one of the provisions, which has been embodied in the very-necessary and important revision of the articles of war, which has beea added to it. Out of Itote Articles of War. "The existing- articles of war a on.

doubtedly archaic. They have not un uergone comprehensive revision for moie man iuu years. They do not always furnish the means of meeting promptly and directly the needs of discipline under modern conditions and many contingencies now frequently arise in the government of the military forces, which were not contemplated when the present code was formulated. The relations of the government of the United States have greatly broadened within the 100 years. We now have insular possessions and national interest far away from our continental shores.

Roth thu practice of arms and the theory of discipline have undergone many modern changes and a manifest need for such a revision of these articles as is here presented has long existed, i therefore, the more keenly regret to tind in the llronoseil revision tiucies ot war a provision to which cannot give mv rum. oval "The orlcinal net numMieMna. the retired list of the armv referred to ih personnel therein included as onlv partially retired and provided that retired officer should be entitled fo wear the uniform of his grade, should be borne on the army register, and should be subject thft rules nrol -i r- tides of war, and to the rules and ar- louiimaiiiai ior any breach of these articles, liy the act of July 24, 13 76. officers of the army on the retired list were specifically declared to constitute a part of the regular armv a provision which is found o. subsequent acts affecting tho organi- ul ice army; ana oilier statutes enacted during- this period made retired officers of the army available for certain classes of active duty, in time of peace with their consent, and in time of war without their consent.

Courts and attorneys general have in a long line of decisions held that officers of the army on the retired list may hold public office, l.xoiiiplars of Army.

WASHINGTON. Aug. IS. Fy a -triotly pain in vole of, 3S to il the administration shipping bill was passed the senate late this afternoon. A similar measure, although in -lightly form, has alrcady passed tile house.

The Thomas amendment striking at the Pritish blacklist policy was adopted pi.iciically without protest anil without a record vote. This proposal gives the government a weapon with which it ran bring Fngland to terms If the blacklisting continues. The amendment would authofl.e the secretary of tin- treasury to refuse clearance "to any vessel or other vehicle laden with merchandise for a foreign country or domestic port whcniver he shall have reason to believe the owner or other officer of the vessel or vehicle refuses to accept cargo or freight tendered by any American citizen, unless the same is declined or refused because such vessel or other vehicle Is fully laden and has no space accommodations for the freight, or cargo so tendered, due regard being had for the loading of such vessel or vehicle." ThW amendment applies equally to ratlroatl transput tntlon. and. tlh the single exception that discretion is bulged in the secretary ot" the treasury, is considered to be a most drastic remedy that will enable the administration fully and completely to meet the Poltiah blacklisting policy.

Another amendment of similar character gives the shipping board authority arid makes it Its duty to investigate the action of any foreign government dlscriininat lug ngnlnst American vessels engaged In the foreign trade. The hoard Is required to report to the president, if the president then Is unable to secure by diplomatic action equal privileges for American vessels. he must advise congress In order that proper legislative act Inn may be taken.
