(Correspondence of tho Associated Press.) LONDON, Oct . Aroused by tha poet tire steps taken by Germany and Aus tria to protect themselves agamst a fall ing birth rate and the telling death rate Incidental to the war. England Is now encouraging- the marriage of recruits soon to go on foreign service. At the suggestion of ths Archbishop of Canterbury the diocesan bishops of the Church of England have made marked decrease In the fees charged soldiers for marriage licenses and clergymen through out the Island are waiving their personal fees. . In Germany and Austria fees for mar riages were waived entirely where sol diers and sailors were unable to pay and In many cities clergymen married the warriors and their sweethearts in large companies where the hasty departure of troops made It Impossible for separate ceremonies to be held. Gold wedding rings were dons away with and Iron rings substituted for th eremony. Then the married women who already bad gold wedding rings offered them as contributions to the war fund and replaced them with rings similar to those worn by the war brides. War Drldes Cheered. German officials frankly discussed the necessity for the marriage of soldiers and urged Immediate ceremonies upon young women as a patriotlo duty. Tho war brides were cheered with much enthus iasm and the churches were crowded when the large wedding parties spoke the ceremony In concert. Although the number of women In Eng land far exceeds that of men, the volun teer army is comparatively small here and most of the recruits are not trained soldiers immediately available for foreign service. Consequently there Is not the pressing demand for immediate marriages her tbat existed on the continent. Btlll the government realise the terrible drain the war will make on the virile manhood Of Great Britain and s quietly encour aging recruits to marry. Would Waive Stamp Tax. The archbishop of Canterbury is en deavoring to have th government waive the stamp fee of $2.60 which it imposes on each marriage certificate and diocesan bishops have reduced the marriage license fee to $2.60 in the case of soldiers and sailors of limited means. Formerly is cost $10 to procure a marriage Ucenss properly stamped by the government. The cost Is now $5 and the archbishop of Canterbury hopes to have it lowered to $1.60 through th withdrawal of th stsmp tax of the government. Clergymen now waive, their personal fee In the case of oldlers. German officials presented to the young women of the empire the slight chance they would have for matrimony after the departure of their soldier sweethearts and called attention to the pension paid to war widows for the support of them selves and their children. ' Meat of Toons; Are. Nearly EOO.WO recruits are quartered in . camps - scattered throughout England. This new army of Kitchener's probably will not be sent to th continent for at least six months, unless some unexpected calamity arises. AH th men In the army who have not had previous military ex parlance are less than 36 years old and majority of them are unmarried. Many weddings are occuring dally at th various camps and new recrulnts and their sweethearts are often much dis tressed to find thet tinder th English law on f th parties to a marriage must have resided In the parish In which they ar married for at least fifteen days. The archbishop of Canterbury has sug- Miea uiai this obstacle be removed by statute. ' Little Town Once More Suffers Hardship! of War.

PARIS, Oct l,-Hlstory has Just re peated itself at Teronno for the fifth or sixth time, with the occupation of the I town by Emperor Wllllan's forces. It Is a ' pretty, peaceful, sleepy town. In the valley of th Olse, with no more apparent pre tension than that of attending to Its own little business, and it la all the more aj wonder that It has cut such a figure in history that it has succumbed to pearly every attack. There can scarcely be any other rea son than that Its situation makes It a sort of stumbl'.ng block In th way of forces bound for Amiens from the north. King Charles the Simple first gave) Peronne right to immortality by dying of hunger while a prisoner ther In K9. Charles the Bold began Its series of captures by taking it in H65 and added to Up renown by Imprisoning Lou's Xt ihere two days. The latter revenged himself on both Charles the Bold and the town by capturing It In 1477. The Duke of Nassau Is the only one who ever failed In an assault upon It: he was beaten by a woman, Catherine of Pel, who right fully has her statue In the public square. The Duk of Wellington captured It In h! turn in 1S15, and the Germans starved the little garrison out In the closing days of the war of 1870. but were obliged to allow it to march out with the honors of war. Demolished Long Ago. During nine days' bombardment, eighty- two of Its 700 houses were flemonlshed and 600 were rendered uninhabitable. In this case th German commander con sented not to levy a war fin on the town and dispensed the Inhabitants from all requls'tlons, which was all the same to them, since there was nothing left In the place Worth having. This time, as has been the case with most of the military operations, no one but the general staff and the Inhabit ants of the region knew that the town had been taken until Its reoccupation by French troops was announced. The circumstances of the entry of the Germans are characteristic of the pres ent campaign. After an unequat strug gle- between a small detachment of Al pine chasseurs and Infantry on the French side and a strong contingent of cavalry, the Germans entered the town August S7. Just as the subprefect left at the other side In an automobile, carrying oft the receipts of the postofflce and the tax department, amounting to a million and a half francs gold and several millions In bonds payable to bearer. The mayor and his substitute were both absent Finding no one at the Hotel de Vllle, Colonol Gotberg, the German gov ernor, sent for Monsieur LJne. a city councillor, and informed him that it would b necessary for him to get to gether a commission of a dosen import ant citlsens who should answer with their lives for the benevolent behavior of the citlsens toward the German troops, and that th commission must present Itself to th governor within an hour or Monsieur Line would b shot War Contribution Demanded. "From this committee th governor de manded a war contribution of 300,000 francs, which must b forthcoming the following morning. "W certainly shall not pay It," replied Monsieur Line, be cause all the money of th city and the receipts of the fiscal department have been transported to Rouen, and all of the rich citlsens ar at th seashore; all we can do Is to supply your troops with what they need while her." I must have money," persisted the gov ernor. "We have no money," persisted Mon sieur Line "You mutt pay m 8,000 franca In gold this vary evening," said the governor, "and you shall furnish 400,000 francs worth of supplies; furthermore, If you've lied to me I'll know It and I'll have your hide and that of th cur." The following morning, declaring that th requisitions wens not ttlns filled with, th necessary promptitude, the gov ernor inflicted a further punishment on ' the town In the form of permission to th troop of two hours' pillage of houses whose inhabitants were out They ( were told to commence with the sub-, prefecture to punish th subprefect for having gone away with all the ready ( money. Everything movable was taken, ven to the bedding, carted to the sta-: tlon and taken away by train the same! evening. After the furniture had been removed j the soldiers descended to the cellars and j then started an orgie that ended In the! burning of a dozen of th more import ant buildings in the center of the town, j The citlsens committee protested i strongly against these depredations and convinced th governor that It was not th most likely means of securing th willing co-operation of those who wero able to contribute to the supplying of the troops.
