Wilbur Sends Messages of Condo- | lence to Kin of Crew. | The deaths of all on hoard the submarine S-4 were recorded at the | Navy Department vesterday. There | also was sent to the next of kin of each member of the crew che fol- Ku-lng message by Secretary Wil- ur: *“With the official announcement by . the Navy Department of the death of all persons who were on board, the. ill-fated S-4 at the time of her gisaster, December 17. 1927, salvaging of which will be pushed with all possible speed, I desire to of- | Ter you my own personal and heart- felt condolence over the tragic death of your gallant kinsman, a member ©f her crew. “Please accept on behalf of the officers and men of the Navy our deepest sympathy. We share with you in the sense of personal bereave- ment. We trust ®at you may find comfort in the thought that he died at his post of duty and hope that your grief may be assuaged by Him who controls the eternal destiny of us all” Investigation of the sinking of the the S-4 with a view particularly to promoting the use of safety devices ©on submarines was urged vester- day by Representative Updike, Re- publican, Indiana. He wants a special committee appointed to make the survey. Declaring that he felt the Navy Department had been “grossly neg- ligent” in not equipping submarines ‘with devices to detect the presence of surface craft, Mr. Updike also the Navy for holding sub- marine tests mnear Provincetown, Mass.

Is Found Dead in Little Hall Bedroom In a little hallroom, hardly 10 feet by four feet, in the rear of 1316 I street, was found yesterday afternoon the body of William Lecture, 84 years old, a Confederate veteran and later, for 42 years, an employe of the War Department. Death was due to naf- ural causes. A note, written in the shaky chl- rography of old age, was found among his pitifully few belongings, contain- ing his war record when he was one of the valiant few who held the lines at Petersburg for many weary weeks, and stating that he had no immediate relatives and “nothing that one might call an estate.” In it he requested that his body be cremated, and that it be kept sealed until the time for cremation. Antiei- pating that his reirement pension, on which he existed, might not prove sufficient for his funeral expenses he | bod: named a source through which funds are obtainable for the burial of Con- federate veterans. His “estate” consisted of two sults FAMILY FINANCIAL DEMOCRACY URGED TO DETER DIVORCE (Continued from First Page.) simple test which will afford her a plc- ture of his character by saying unex- pectedly: “I think I'll go on working after marriage.” “If he says enthusi- astically, ‘Good for you,' she can be sure sl got a prize,” Dr. Andrews sald. he says, ‘Woman's place is in the home' or ‘Think what people will say about us,' she has uncovered a weakness in his character.” A fundamental requirement of the successful marriage, he said, is a fficlent income to meet all expenses, the husband cannot earn of large city families home, he said, but in these always are carrying a dou- load on their shoulders, despite the labor-saving devices which have been introduced into the household. Careful observations have shown, he sald, that the care of a child alone requires five hours of hard work a day on the part of the mother, re- gardless of all her other household dutles. S8he is coming to be consid. ered In addition as “a manufacturer of human values” and carries the largest responsibility in the affairs of the household.

Financial affairs, he sald, are the most frequent cause of family fric- tion, but Investigators have found that more fundamental psychological causes lle In the background which must be corrected before there can be any permanent remedy.

His final testament, written evident- ly some time ago, stated that he served in the Petersburg Reserves, C. 8. A, during the Civll War, in a company commanded by Capt. Rich- ard Jones, and in the battalion of Maj. Fletcher Arthur. After the close of the war he served in the United States Marines, Mr. Barton stated, and then entered the War Depart- ment.

He urged as a remedy that a new theory of socialism be developed in Central Europe which will look to co-operation with indus- try and alllance with the peasants and intelligentsia and scrap entirely the ideas of Marx. Obscure points in both anclent and modern history were brought to light in the various historical sessions. Prof. Frank B. Marsh of the University of Texas, speaking before the anclent history division, came to the defense of Tiberius, who has come down in history along with Nero as one of the most degenerate of the Roman em- perors. The real facts of Tiberius' life, he said, do not justity this harsh plc- ture, which was brought about be- cause he made many enemies among the nobles whom he was obliged to persecute for treason. ‘The fall of the Spanish New World empire began in Florida and Louisi- ana, Arthur P. Whitaker of Vanderbilt University told the Hispanic-American section, when Spanish industry be- came unable to supply the goods needed by the colonists, and they were forced to turn to other sources of supply. Once they started purchas- ing from the northern colonies and from England, he pointed out, they became a dead loss to Spain. Farm Problems Oid. The government of colonial New Jorsey was trying In vain to solve some of the tarm legialative problema which , are troubling the Nation today, Carl R. Wooward of the New Jersey College of Agriculturg told the Agricultural History Soclet ol records recently examined, show that the governmient ing to control su packing, to set a fences, to conserve the cranberry crop and to prevent promiscuous burning of forest. The government came frequently into conflict with the farmery, aald. After the fall of the Roman Empire the papacy was forced (o take over the reins of government to prevent complete anarchy, Willlam F. Sands told the American Catholic Historical Ansociation, but thus unwittingly cre- ated a political monster which later #ought to devour its creator. This cir- cumstance, he sald, accounts for the somewhat Imperial teadition which haa survived In the church system, al- though the papacy itself has become vonvinced that the ideal aystem of Kovernment 1a represented by a repub- e such as that of the United States. In the early days, he sald, the papacy was interested only in the preservation of a form of government under which it would be allowed to develop freely and had no thought of obtaining temporal power. The latter empire had developed into exactly this form, wo that when the Pope found himselt the only recognized au- thority he naturally wought to con tinue this form rather than to experi- ment with a new one, ahout the prac- Heal possibil of which he knew nothing, Forced Amsumption of Power. This forced amsumption of tempo I‘ll‘fi ruwcr. he painted out, hrought with It the oustomary politieal trick ery and corruptipn and this in turn led to opposition on the part of reform of which the reformation was the natural political consequence. The papacy naturally sought te up hold the imperial government which It _had been obllged to create and which was the best form of govern: ment within ita experience, or years, he wald, th Vatican t ) ,- DECEMBER - 28, 1927. This' | unfoftuhate ‘" fmpression, he pointed out, jhas beep largely removed by the devefopment;of religious insti- tutions’ without hindrance in ‘the United States, 3 There has/ jheen’ considerable im- provemeny ifi “business ethics in the Unjted, States ;hetween .the merchant and manufdctarer and ' the customer, but little improvement betweeh the employer and employe, Edgar L. Heer- mance of New Haven told the section on religion of the American Sociolog- leal Society. The function of the church, he said, Is to improve the thinking habits of the youths who will become the busi- ness men of . the fature and not try to impose arbitrary ethical standards on business. The last procedure, he said, will do little good and will create a_hostllity between business and the church, - There Is need, he said, for a re- statement of Christian ethics in the light of modern business. Speaks on Rural Life. C. J. Galpin of the Department of Agriculture explained to the section on rural soclology the work of the Social Science Research which is engaged in various problems of sociological importance in rural life. The present difficulties of agriculture are due primarily to the fallure of dis- tributing charges to decline when prices fall, Prof. G. F. Warren of Cor- nell University told the economic as- soclation session. “If all adjusting is left to Individual action, as has been thus far and promises to continue to be,” he continued, “‘adjustment is cer- tain to go too far and result in a period when food will be abnormally high when compared with other items in the cest of living." The steps of this development, he said, are: First, large numbers of farmers lose their lifetime savings; second, agricultural production is re- duced; third, there comes a period of high cost of living with prosperity for a new set of farmers. The first stage has passed and the second is in proc- ess, he declared. “Some day,” Prof. Warren said, “we may be wise enough so to legislate that financlal deflation will not occur and thereby avoid its _evil conse- quences. Having lacked this wisdom. the chances of emergency legislation ever being passed in time to meet the emergency are very small. Long be- fore the questions are settled the farmers will have died or made the necessary readjustments.” Agricuiture Is Overstimulated. Beck to the land, education and propaganda ‘must be abandoned; too much land is being used for agricul- ture now, G. §. Wehrweln of North- western University declared. Agricul- ture was overstimulated during the war and was not helped back to nor- maley, ne said. He blamed govern- mental agencies for encouraging ad- ricultural production and ‘“‘misdirect- ing land utilization by putting Iai into agricultural use instead of using it for forestry or grazing. A new policy of using less land for agriculture will bring higher prices, he predicted, adding that “the test of the sincerity of those who want to restore prosperity to agri- culture will be shown by their wil- lingness to pay more for the farmers’ product.” The taxation system should be revised and the burden shifted to the larger units of govern- ment, he sald, and tariffs should be revised to bring prices of industrial products in line with farm price C. L. Stewart of the University of [llinois urged the equalization of this country’s exportable staples with ref- erence to dutiable goods from abroad. The hunt for income tax simpli- fication should take another route through elimination of capital losses and gains. Roy G. Blakey of the In- stitute of Economics told the income tax group of the Economic Associa- tlon. He urged further study by pert groups and declared that “capi- tal gains and losses are merely spe- cial kinds or phases of appreciation and depreciation, and are logically included in a calculation of income.” o MAN SOUGHT IN ATTACK ON WAITRESS GIVES UP Kushner SBurrenders to Police and Is Held in Bond on Girl's Charge. Surrendering himself two days ago to police of the fourth precinct, Sam- uel Kushner, the third of the trio who are charged with criminally as- saulting a vodng waitress the night of December 15, pleaded not gullty hefore Judge Robert E. Mattingly in Police Court this morning and was held for the action of the grand jury under a $1,000 bond. Kushner is said to have surren- dered to police when he learned that a warrant had been issued for his arrest and apprehension was Immi- nent. The two other defendants in the case, Clyde M. Leonard and Robert L. Fogg. were arrested December 16 and held for the action of the grand jury under $2,000 bond each. The accused are alleged to have taken the walitress from a Pennsyl- vania avenue restaurint to a road- house over the Maryland State line and, after sl had become intoxi cated, to have assaulted her on the way back to Washington. o HARVARD CLUBS AWAITED.

BY BENNETT J. DOTY. Written exclusively for The Star and North American Newspaper Alliance. Once aboard the lugger, and off we steamed for Syria and our first action against the rebellious tribesmen. The massed bands of the Tirailleurs swung into flle‘ famous “Marche de la Le- glor,” which thrills v u through and through with its martial air. We all called it “Viola 1. Boudin” (Behold the BElood Sausage). ! 1 @idn’t see much of Beirut, where | wé ‘landed. We were there only long enough to catch the train for Damas- cus. Soon after the train started we began to climb giddy passes. It was bitte cold. I slept on the floor of the carriage among the feet of the others. Thev were making their first acquaint- ance with “rake.” This is the native spirit. In strength and taste it re- sembles absinthe, only it is stronger. Rush Druse C.mpaign. Looking out the carriage windows next morning, 1 caught my Lrst glimpse of the beautiful gardens of Damascus. When we got off the train w. could see nothing but soldiers. Their: was a grca. bustle and stir. Preparations were being rushed for ti campaign against the Druse. We recelv~d orders to continue on our way to the fortified camp at the little village of Kherbet-el-Gazalie. on the raliroad, where the 5th Battalion of the 4th Regiment of the Legion Foreign sertion na Do, was holding forth. This was near the border of the Druse country. We rolled four or five nachine guns and a 65-millimeter gun on to an armcred train and steamed along the lie. At each station we left provi- sione for the little garrisons, which were surrounded by barbed wire and high stone walls. A sentry was posted on a flat roof at each place. Through fleld glasses these sentriee 'vere con- stantly scanning the horizon. Small Posts in Danger. Some of these posts were held by Senegalese. the rest by North African Tirailleurs and native Syrian troops. All looked a bit worried. They had good reason. A small post might be attacked any night and completely wiped out. At last the train came to Ezra, cen- tiul post on the line. This garrison had a great signal to:cer, a fleld hos- | pital and a supply base.s There were several batteries of field guns ready for action. In the distance lay a long, blue range of grim mountains. I arked one of the native troopers what they were. “It is the Jebel Druse Range.” he said. *That little white spot perched high on the mountainside is Sueida. The garrison there is being besieged by the Druse.” Our train dragged on until we be- held a small station. a few houses and A camp. Then we saw the familiar garb of the Legion, and knew we had arrived. Men began pouring out of the camp to meet us, and, seeing old friends, shouted greetinga in all lan- suages. * Work Begins at Once. Out we got and marched into camp. ‘The sections were lined up in single file. The corneral of each squad held his bayonet over his head ungil the bayonets were all aligned. Then the bayonets were stuck into the ground. In this way spots were staked out for tents to hold six men eacd. In a few minutes there were rows of tents | up. Then came that call more dmdai' i the Legion than any ememy, “Au muraille” (to the wall). ' Whenever we made camp during a campalgn we dug a trench or built a wall, according to the nature of the, terrai.. There is .o work a Legion- naire loathes more. '+ means carry- iug hundreds of stones weighing from 20 pounds up in a boiling sun. It seems as if the wall would never get to the required height—breast high. Fi ally this was over. Supper was eaten and sentinels were posted every 30 feet. We were now on the border «« the enemy’s country. When one takes the guard in such a country he stands ip one place (sentinel fixe) staring alwavs ahead. while another fellow goes between the sentinels fixe. He Is called the sentinel mobile (mov- Ing sentinel)l. He keeps the sentinels linked up. This means greater vigi- lance and insures the safety of the sentinels. Villagers Help.

They served as scouts and spies. We did a lot of final drilling for ac- tual combat, and got last instructions. The armored cars had been goinx out daily on patrol, and they reported activity by the enemy.
