By I niTersal Serried.> j
Templemore. County Tipperary. <
Ireland. Aug. 28.?Tens of thousands ^
of the faithful are still flocking to ,
this small Tipperary town to gain J r
religious and physical balm from *
the wonder-working statues belong
ing to James Walsh, the former'
Sisterian novitiate, who has con- I t
ferred upon Templemore a fame! ^
that is exceeded only by Lourdes. 1 ^
The statues have been placed in
a flower bedecked yard on the ,
premises of Timothy Dwan, W alsh s
uncle. Here thousands of the afflicted
gather bearing crucifixes J
and rosaries.
While waiting for admission the
whole congregation periodically
sinks to its knees and with twitching
lips offers prayers to the Virgin
Mary imploring continuance of the
miraculous healing.
The most wonderful case is that l
of Martin Monohan. His story has 1
gone throughout Ireland.
Monohan was discharged from the
army suffering from a broken left
knee.
-When I heard of the miracles."
he says. "I limped across the square
to the bouse. v Walsh took mc up
stairs and lifted me up to the cruci- ; ,
fix. It was bleeding. He rubbed
my bare knee against it. I was in
creat pain. Ho prayed over me and
ordered me to pray. We left theh
room together. Then before I left j
the house I felt a sudden shock. I'
All pain left me. 1 ran quickly (1

COLBY TO CONSIDER

day informed Mrs. Thomas K. Cor-ji
less, of New York, head of all
woman delegation, lie would con-'j
aider their request to intercede with
Great Britain for I^ord Mayor Mc- ]
Sweney. He would make no
promise. j<
It was only after several attempts j
that women who have been picket
ing the State Department succeeded
in reaching Mr. Colby.
"Although Mayor McSweney is in
prison he can eat if he wants to." |
suggested Mr. Colby, according to;1
Mrs. Corless. "You are mistaken, i'
Mayor McSweney is an Irish pa-;1
triot starving fo? a principle." re* j
plied Mrs. Corless.
I think I understand and I will *

DUEL CUSTOM j
:rench Chamber Considers
Elimination of Field
Of Honor."
1 \% a hinKlon Herald?Public Ledger
Service?special Cable lliapatrhi j
Paris. Aug. 2*.?The duel, for centuries
the traditional method of settling
disputed points of honor in;
Prance, will be removed from the;
iaily press to the pages of history
f the bill proposed by a commission
>f the chamber of deputies is passed
by parliament in its next session.
Meanwhile, the proposition to make
iueling a criminal offense is creating
considerable discussion in Paris.
The bill provides for the punishment
of duelists and their seconds
by imprisonment from one month to
i year and by a fin** of from 1**0 to
1,000 francs. Newspaper* which publish
accounts of duels are also to be
punished. A special court would be
created to settle questions of honor
and the publication of its hearings
would be prohibited.
"War Showed (.'oarage.**
Among the backers of the bill are j
General de Castelnau and the Abbot
Lemire. In a report in which they
defend the proposition tbey say. "At
the end of this most difficult and,
long war. in which all classes ot'
French society have proved, on land
ind on the sea, in sudden attack"* as
well as in the interminable waiting
in the trenches, that they possess all
the forms of courage and that solely
for the defense of right, such honor
And glory has been reflected upon
ill the nation that any one who, to
demonstrate his personal bravery,
think, he must provoke or accept a
rluel, will succeed only in lowering
himself.**
Dueling was by common consent
abolished during the war on the
ground that "all lives belonged to
France," and since the armistice
there has been but one encounter.
It took place recently betweeu opposing
lawyers of the Caillaux case
And ended without any bodily injury
to either. As a matter of fact, even
before the war duels in France,
usually ended in this tamo fashion. |
ilthough under the French law if a ;
inelist was killed his opponent could
not be prosecuted.
Feaeera Protect.
The duel, though already fast sucurabing
to the shafts of ridicule di- j
rected at it, is not without its seconds.
The Paris fencing masters
'ear that its abolishment will mean '
the decay of their art. Far fromi
prohibiting the duel, they would j
make *t more severe so that it might
regain its ancient prestige.
Thus George Dubois in his recent)
book. "The Point of Honor and the'
Duel," writes: "Families have wept '
snough during the last live years j
and some will never cease to sor- i
row. Let us no longer trouble themi
by these appearances of courage)
tvhere snobbishness and vanity bat- '
:le so grotesquely." And he goes on j
fo demand that duels be fought with j
bayonets!

Paris, Aug. US.?Several French

tory.
Notably among them, l^ouis For
rest, of the Matin, takes us forcibly
to task because the American flag
was hoisted over the French flag
ut Antwerp, whereas our war death
I roll was not in comparison with the
I French.
Most of his column article is devoted
to the incontestable fact that
France suffered mora than all the
others in the war. He and all the
other critics entirely overlook the
fact that eight years a?o at Stockholm,
wlflrh was before the war's
Tleath roll was taken. America won
the Olympics with even greater
ease than at Antwerp. Some
of the Belgian complaint*
j heard over the financial failure oi
the Olympic games at Antwerp may
| be attributed to retaliatory measures
taken by the Belgian govern|
ment regarding American pass|
ports.
Belgian passport vises now cost
i $1.50 for all nationalities excep.
j American, who are charged $10.
That is because American passports
and vise cost that amount.
France still keeps the prtco of the
passport vise at the modest ten
j francs.

"Gct-Rich-Quick" Novel
Plot Woven Into French
Play.
MWaabington Herald-Pnblle Ledger

Paris, Aug. 28.?Following in the
wake of the jazz band, modern
American literature, with "Get Rich
Quick Wallingford" and Owen
Johnson's "Sixty-first Second" leading
the vanguard, is slowly penetrating
France.
1 A dramatic version of the exploits
of George Randolph Chester's
! famous hero will br staged at Sarah
Bernhardt'* theater. French
producers are not yet setlled on
J the title for the play. They are
; puzzled as to how to translate "Get!
Rich - Quick Wallingford.'' There
are no Ponzis in France. But the
French will create one.
The tentative French title to the
play when translated means "Make
a Fortune." But in the end the title
may be something mor? literal. stub
as "Wallingford Who Got Rich of a
Suddenness."
Abel Tarride and Fernand Faurc.
the Parisian fosterfathers of J. Rufus.
saw him on the New York and
j London stage and were struck b>
' the "original and frantic" nature of
| the. play. Tarride says:
"The adaptation of the play is
rather difficult. We wished, of
J course, to keep the originalit> of
I the drama, but on the other hand
found it necessary to make several
changes to make it accessible to
our French mentality. We have,
therefore, added a love affair to the
. business ventures of Wallingford.
The hero?a bluffer par excellence
but very likeable?is a type as well
j known in America as Arsene Lupin
is here or Sherlock Holmes in Engi
land."
As for Owen Johnson his novel is
now being run as a serial 1>> "L'll;
