Parisian Resents Des Champs' Slurs and French Shut Doors on the Writer. By MARQUIS DE CASTEl LANE. Special Cable tc The American PARIS. Dec. f!. - Emil* Des^’hftmpf, a well-known Parisian, who is on t*ie fringe of the lit wary world, has stirred up a hornet's nest Amorl -m women, Franco-American women and h large section . f French society in sympathy with both are shutting the doors of their salons i: gainst him. His unpardonable sin is t cised American worn book, "The Women He pToft mt he has crltl- -n severely in a of Uncle Ram." h1s knowledge upon - * - long experience In the United Rtates DefrUhampa starts out by saying that the American woman thinks tho world was made for her sole pleasure.

Mackay. whoso check book Is ready for every charity all resent. the Im putation that American women are mere creatures of pleasure. Goes Beyond Bounds. M. DesOhamps goes beyond the bounds of reason wTian he calls the American women despotic, aggressive and impertinent. On the contrary, we Frenchmen know that the American woman accommodates h<*rsolf to cir cumstance and new surrounding*. Here In France some of our most successful chatelaines are Americans. Such, for instance, are the Countess de Rodelac the Duchess de T*- Rochefoulad, the Countess de Moy, the Countess de CThandon. M. DeeChamps Insists that Amer ican women do not wish to be moth er*. and when they have children they don't care for them. The truth is that .he American mother, like the French mother If anything, takes tco much care of her children. The former, by excessive care, makes them precocious; the lat ter. hv a different kind of excessive care, brings them up too softly. When M. DesChamp* tells us that American women are Indifferent tc their husbands' success In life, we over here know he 1s wrong. Taka those American women who are mar ried to foreign diplomats and note how they advance their husbands’ In ter eats. You find them In every coun try. In Washington you have Mme. Jiisserand. formerly Miss Richards, wife of the French Amt>as«*dor. and the wife of the Russian Ambassador to the United States, nee Beal. Make Country Respected.

There Is no use In losing more time upon a nmn who says the American woman 1s no wife, nor mother I should only convince him against hi* 'will.

G.—Discussion of the Gould-Castellane affair In the sega- frura tribunal, over which Cardinal Vincenzo Vanutelli presides, has been postponed to January 11, at the re quest of the Duchess De Talleyrand's lawyers, on the groupd that they re quire further time to submit a brief and prepare evidence In rebuttal. Although the coming discussion Is merely technical, public interest is unabated, on account of the impor tant questions involved. After the Rota’s decision, in June last, grant ing the Count Boni an anulment of his religious marriage to Anna Gould, the latter appealed on the ground that she had not been properly sub- penaed, and had not been given an opportunity to properly defend her self. Fresh Evidence Introduced. Whichever way the points involved are settled, the case is certain to be tried a third time, as much fresh evidence has been submitted to the tribunal, which completely disproves the count’s«»allegations regarding his late wife’s statement about the Cath olic, Church and the question of di vorce. According to Jean De Castellane, the count’s brother, and Prince John Del Drago, both of whom were wit nesses at the religious ceremony, March 14, 1905. a quarter of an hour before the ceremony the bride inval idated the religious marriage by tell ing them she would remain an Amer ican and a Protestant, because Prot estants had a "pull over the Catholics, Inasmuch as they could obtain a di vorce whenever the necessity arose.” Duchess Enters Denial. On the other hand, the Duchess has entered a general denial of the above statements, submitting a number of letters from the Count’s mother, proving the Count’s evidence had been obtained from obliging friends, who never entertained friendly feel ings for her. She also asserts her conduct during the period she lived with the Count proved beyond doubt she never contemplated divorcing her husband, as she could have brought suit after the first six months ol marriage if so minded. She only sought divorce, she said, when her husband’s behavior left her no choice. Though the bulk of the Duchess’ evidence Is jealously guarded and perhaps destined never to see the light of day, on account of the prom inent persons involved in the contro versy. and the sensation it would create In Europe and America, yet it is known the Duchess attributes to a desire for revenge an affidavit of Jean De Castellane against her. In combating the conclusion of the Rota’s last decision, by oppos ing the annulment of the religious marriage, Miss Gould is practically asking the Catholic Church to grant her two husbands, the brief shortly to be submitted says 9he is entirely indifferent whether the Count re marries or not, as she Is only con- eta! receptions are being organized biggest | u, let Americans mee^the Mayo^r^d The space available having Prov*^ Insufficient, eight buildings more than 1,000.000 square feet, have been added.

Now Suggested That Dressmak ing Firm Induce Church Lead ers to Condemn Fashions. Italian Dreadnought Plans Are Stolen Special Cable to The American. LONDON, Dec. 2.—Writing from Rome, a correspondent says that al though every effort is being made to conceal the facts, considerable alarm has been created at the Italian Min istry of Marine, as well as at Spezla, as the result of the disappearance of plans and specifications designed for a new class of super-dreadnoughts. The most searching investigations have failed to reveal any traces of the documents, and though copies of them exist, the fear that they may have fallen Into the hands of a for eign power will probably require that the designs shall be modified in more than one important particular. tinulng the fight against him in the Interest of her children. On the other hand, the Count’s lawyer, G. Pacilli, seems absolutely confident the old decision will be up held, and maintains the Count twice conclusively proved his right to be freed from the religious marriage and has nothing whatever to fear in any new evidence.

It is unlikely that he will decide any thing until he has consulted the Burns Federation, which took counsel with him regarding the best method of getting back the manuscripts. There will probably be some friction In connection with settling the matter. Falls; Is Suspended In Gorge for 2 Days *• " Special Cable to The American.
