has just returned to the United States
from Russia.
“No one can conceive of the politi
cal hates of Europe unless he has
traveled from nation to nation, cross
ing armed boundary lines and finding
bitterness on both sides,” said Maj.
Carroll. "The Versailles treaty not
only split up the Balkans worse than
ever, but it created Balkan states to
the Baltic. On my trips through them
I became more and more impressed
with the conviction that some small
nations are not fit for self-govern
ment and need a stronger nation to
rule them. When they are broken up
their mutual antagonism breeds hate
Maj. Carroll was with the A. E. F.,
and after demobilization spent some
in Europe as a civilian observer.
When the Riga conference was held
in August, 1921, he went there with
W’alter Lyman Brown, European
representative of the A. R. A., and

the feeding stations. He has seen Rus
sia, Poland and Germany in the last

tries there is a more critical situation

hich Is due In part to bolshevism, as

of reparations, and partly to the in
dustrial and civic demoralization
which has proceeded so far that it is
harder than ever to check.
"Russia probably will have
enough food for her own needs next

vorse off than a year ago,” he said.
'I am convinced that communism and j
apitalism cannot exist on the same

question would settle itself very
quickly.
But under the surface there is lit
tle communism in Russia. Money
talks there, as it does everywhere, '
and, whereas a few of the leaders
and some of the rank and file may
be sincere, and undoubtedly are,
most of the communist officials fail
to show the idealism which they talk
of so elibly. They have abolished the
intellectual and bourgoise, abolished
them thoroughly, but they are form
ing a new white collar bourgoise of
officialism, and fail to see the con

ENGLISH GIRLS TURN
TO SIMPLER WEDDINGS
London, Oct. 18 (By Mail)—
Olid fashioned weddings at church
with lavish decorations, gaily bedeck
ed brides and bridesmaids, bell ring
ing and elaborate ceremonies, are
gradually giving way to more sombre
and quicker weddings at registry
offices.
Statistics show that twenty five
per cent of the total marriages In this
country during the year have been
performel at registry offices. Inf
London alone of 50,000 marriages
16,000 were conducted by the regis
trar, and throughout the country the
number of civil ceremonies has grown
from 80,000 to 1890 to threa times
that number.
Among many reasons given for
favoring the eivil marriage is the
desire to avoid publicity by contract
ing parties, particularly in ths cases
of dukes, peers, theatrical stars and
other prominent parsons when re
marrying.
English brides of the past genera
tion would have been aghast at the
thought of marrying without the
proverbial orange blossom wreath and
the retinue of bridesmaids, but
broadening ideas developed by the
present day girl make bar prefer the
simple ceremony without the “fussi
ness” of the big church service and
the army of spectators.
