San Francisco Threatened. H San Francisco, July 9.?Forest fires Wf are -blazing fiercely tonight on three ; sides of the Mount Tamalpais, a landmark of aClifornia and playground and park of all the cities clustered about San Francisco bay. Three villages are threatened. The mountain was cloaked today by a mantle of white smoke, which streamed across , the bay like a wind blown scarf, but as darkness fell the mountain blazed ^ above the bay and ocean like an enor? mouse beacon, illuminating the sky Iiur nines. Each morning since the blaze started, it has seemed that danger was passed, but each afternoon the trade wind blustering in from the Pacific i has whipped the flames into life and j driven them across canyons and trenches laboriously cut through the underbrush, and into fresh timber on the far side of areas burned bare by back fires. | The fires are believed to have re- , & suited from carelessness of campers.! - - 1 - - -"I Three tnousana soiaiers, saiiuis. naval apprentices, forest rangers, mili- j tiamen and volunteers are fighting i th? flames and the women in thethreatened territory are working as hard as the men. ; Business Tied Up. Shops are closed and business is at a standstill throughout the threaten- i ed section. Col. George Bell, 16th^ United States infantry, assisted by1 District Chief Dubois, of the forestry service, is directing the fight.

Easy of access by ferry and electric lines, and one of the beauty spots of Cali-, fornia, its foothills have become dot-j ted with cities and villages, while on 1 its slopes are hundreds of couples of wealthy Californians. Every week-end swarms of holiday j seekers thread the trails of the moun-1 tain, and tourists from o^er the country are familiar with its ascent. In the deep ravines hide groves of giant sequoias, the most beautiful of which has been conserved in a na- ! tional park, named Muir Woods, for John Muir, the naturalist.

Fire at the -edge or Mulr Woods | temporarily was tfhder control. IBythedale Canyon, leading to MiJJ j Valley, is lined with country places. \ The most exposed of these is the beau-j tiful estate known as "The Garden of Allaii" owned by Falston Lovett j White, and valued at $1,000,000.

Reliance on saving Mill Valley and the other towns lies precariously to- , night on a trench varying in width from 65 to 135 feet, which, it is hoped, will stem the fire from further progress down Baltimore and Blythedale canyons. Once tbe canyons are fairly ablaze, it would take superhuman London Chronicle. An extraordinary "manifesto against the moral indignities to women contained in the Anglican marriage service," has been drawn up by the Spiritual Militancy league, and is to be sent to every clergyman of the church of England, and to all persons whose engagement is announced in the daily naDers. ' Altogether fifteen "indignities" are quoted. The first is contained in the words "obey him and serve him," which the bride is required to ~epeat, while the bridegroom is not called upon to profess any equivalent deference or subordination. The manifesto states:. "This indignity can be removed either by the deletion of the words "obey him and serve him" or by the insertion of "obey her and serve her" in the corresponding formula to be said by the bridgegroom. Wise and good husbands find as many occasions to obey and serve as do wives." The. second complaint is the question, "Who giveth this woman to be married to this man?" while no corresponding question is put concerning the man. ' "This indignity can be removed j either by omitting the existing ques- j <-? ? Kit o rM i n Cr Tfl it "whft 2"1VPth LiUlI KJI u J auuaiK V.V AV, ? ? Q this man to be married to this woman.' The present one-sided . 'giving away' is a humiliating survival of a (false) status for women." Other alleged indignities are: "That as a symbol of the marriage , bond a ring is placed upon the finger ! of the bride, while none is placed upon | that of the bridegroom. "The bridegroom alone says: 'With all my world's goods I th -e endow.' j The words never have been true and I have often been the very opposite of j. i.1. J9 iruui. Complaint is also made that one of the Psalms to be sung addresses itself wholly to the gridegroom: "The wife shall be as the fruitful vine upon the walls of thine house," etc. The memorial proceeds: "We protest that this Psalm shall be omitted, or be supplemented by another addressed to the wife, and announcing that her husband .-shall be as , U><l . (I THANH te" m interest story told in 2 i Reels tome n upon the walls of her house." .Anotn-er oi tne "indignities" is in tni prayer that asserts that "out of man woman took her beginning." The memorial states: "We protest that this is not only a foolish and unscientific myth, but one degrading to wo-.nen and flattering to an already excessive self-esteem on tne part of men." Comment is made on the fact that in the same prayer: "The petition concerning the woman is that sne may be loving and amiable, j patient and obedient to her husband, j and in all quietness, sobriety and peace, be a follower of holy and godly matrons. "We insist that as the husband j should equally comport himself in all \ quietness, sobriety and peace, and b^ j a follower of holy and godly men, he ! equally should be told so." Another of the "indignities" is the ( quoting of St. Paul's words: "Wives | submit yourselves to your husbands." j etc. It is urged that if this remain it should be supplemented by saying, "Husbands also submit yourselves unto your wives." mouths. THE WORD "OBEY." England Stirred by "Indignities" Contained in Anglican Marriage Service. % THE PRESIDENT AT YOKKTOWN Sheriff and County Clerk Didn't Know Mr. Wilson, But a Little Girl Did. From Washington Letter to the Louisville Courier-Journal. The sheriff of Yorktown, Va., will probably look up from his newspaper every time her.ceforth he is accosted k*t ~ +?11 + V> i-r-. otriniror tjti till a InnP" VJJ <X LCLlly LXXJ.I1 otx au{5^i n ivm u. jaw. But he did not look up when a j gentleman answering that description stepped in his office and asked him ( quietljf whether he might not look through the old court house in the ^ historic town where Cornwallis sur rendered. The long-jawed stranger, accom- " panied by another man, both in whit# duck, had landed in a dory at Yorktown and walked up the street to the court house where Washington once iiad his headquarters. No one paid any attention to them. To be sure, * white duck yatching suits are not or- J dinarily worn by the citizsns of Yorktown, but many pachtsmen land there ^ and explore the city. There was noth- r ing particularly. distinctive about either of the two white-suited men ^ who strolled through Yorktown, except that one, being observed closely, t might have been seen to resemble familiar photographs here and there. J After entering the court house the J pair saw the sheriff sitting at a desk ^ buried in a paper.. "May we loolk ^ through the court house?" ask the long-jawed man with the gray hair. * "Um-huh," murmured the sheriff. ^ "Just walk through that corridor and you'll see the county clerk. He'll ; show you the place." ^ The explorers thanked tie sheriff ^ who never looked up, and wandered , nn Thpv frmnri the COuntv Clerk I reading a newspaper also, but he was amenable to reason, and, shoving his paper into his pocket, showed them j the sights of the place. "The presid- . ing officer of this court is the son of ^ President Tyler," he remarked, swell- , c ing out his chest. "Reckon you've t heard of him." "Oh, yes, indeed," < said the long-jawed man, who did most of the talking. Before they left the county clerk said he found them so appreciative he'd give them a copy of the town pa- j ^ per to read. They accepted it and ' progressed to the old Nelson house, 1 which lodged Cornwallis in the days when the colonies were about to end triumphntly their war against the ^ mother country. As they approached the house a little girl of about 10 ( years ran out, saw them arid stopped. * She devoted her attention entirely to the man with gray hair, and had one watched closely he would have seen a kindly twinkle in the hrown eyes ( behind the glasses. She looked the * stranger up and down gravely. "How do you do?" he said. "You look like President Wilson," she replied. "You think I resemble Mr. Wilson?" "I think you are Mr. Wilson. I 1 know you are, the president. You are ? the first president since Gen. Wash- 1 ington who has ever come to the old < Nelson house," said the little girl, joyfully. "I'll run and tell mother."
