| ¥ 20 DIVORCES DAILY IN LONDON COURTS " Assistance of Retired Judges Re- quired fo Hear Divorce. Cases London, July 8.—Since Easter the divorce courts have been working at \igh pressure to clear off an unprec- dented accumulation of arrears, *hich, added to a steady stream of ew cases, threatened at one time to verwhelm the physical capacity of te bench. It .needed the assistance of a num- kr of retired judges to make head- Wy against the avalanche of suits, Wth the result that they have been @&posed of at the average rate of two sore or more per day. The lord chancellor, Lord Birken- kad, himself lent assistance by act- ig as an ordinary judge in the courts. teviewins the position, he said: “The war has left a degree of un- ‘est which has spread into almost very sphere of modern life. and the nfluence of which is likely to be felt or an indefinite period in domestic rlationships. “Ninseteen out of 20 of the,cases in Lord Birkenhead added, “had causes in the war or conse- quences of the war. The date when he joined the army was the early chronalogical landmark of petitioner after petitioner, from which dated the familiar and melancholy story of weakness on the part of the wife.”” It is Lord Birkenhead's opinion that matrimonial suits may not return at least for a generation, to the pre-war level. The anomaly of the present situa- tion has revived controversies on the inadequacies of English divorce laws. Mrs. Seaton-Tiedeman, secretary of the Divorce Law Reform union, esti- mates that the number of wrecked marriages in the United Kingdom is higher in proportion to the popula- tion than in the United States.

NEW, BRITAIN DALY HERALD, FRIDAY, JULY 8, HUMAN BEINGS AT WORK AS CARRIERS Chaotic Conditions in Russia Told by Writers Riga, Latvia, July 8.—The chaotic conditions and daily tragedies that followed upon resumption of frea trade in South Russia are described graphically by a writer for the Mos- cow Isvestia who has just made a trip through the Ukraine, The peasants, he says, carrying sacks of grain or other foods to cities are literally overwhelming the rail- ways. He thus describes the ap- pearance of one of the trains coming into Kiev. “Along the tracks is crawling a huge grey caterpillar—a train cov- ered all over with the grey masses of food-carriers. From beneath these masses neither cars nor locomotives can be distinguished. The grey mass covers everything, the car roofs, the steps and even the spaces between cars. [Every available nook is oc- cupied. Everything is filled up. Only when the train begins to slow down, nearing Kiev station, it begins to shed its grey fleece. Little by little, while yet in motion, the locomotive and car roofs, begin to uncover. “At Kiev all out-bound trains are literally pasted all over with people. On the locomotive, cars, firewood truck, water tank and under the cars —anywhere that it is possible— people fasten themselves to every hook, nail or crevice. Those who have been fortunate enough to get a place on a brake platform are looked upon as favorites of fortune, who are comfortable for their whole trip. “The departure of every train is accompanied by lamentations, wails, crying, shooting and all kinds of accidents. When the train is begin- ning to get in motion, those who .| were not able to board it and those who have been forcibly removed from it start mad rushes for it again. The military detachments, whose duty it is to maintain order during the board- ing of trains, run after the trains, pulling down some of the surplus passengers who have managed to fasten onto them, while from others caps are pulled off and so on. “One of the .results of this state of affairs is that porters take 50,- 000 to 75,000 of rubles for a ‘guaran- teed’ place on the train. “Another result is that the Kiev railway shops every month have to make about 300 coffins for food-car- viers who have been run over by the trains.” 7 M. Dzerzhinsky, head of the “Che- ka,” or committee to combat coun- ter-revolution, known as one of the most efficient men in soviet Russia, has been appointed by Lenine as commissar of railways to regulate this traffic of food-carriers. DEPOSITIONS RECEIVED. Removal of District Attorney Tufts Being Urged. Boston, July 8.—The depositions of Adolph Zukor and Hiram Abrams, motion picture producers of New York, in connection with charges on which Attorney General Allen seeks the removal of District Attorney Nath- an A. Tufts of Middlesex county have een received at the state house. They relate to incidents at a party at a Woburn roadhouse and to subsequent proceedings, the attorney general having charged that through a con- spiracy in which Mr. Tufts had a part, certain persons present at the party paid $100,000 to avoid prosecution. Details of the depositions will not be known until next week when the case comes up for trial before the full bench of the supreme court. CHANGES IN PARIS Students’ Quarters Are Likely to Be Transferred to Site of Old Wall ot City. Patis, July 8.—A lorg discussed project for the transfer of the stu- dents’ quarter of Paris from tht ola Latin Quarter to the outskirts of Parls on space made vacant by the demoli- tion of the wall of Paris appears to be on the way to realization. The city of Paris will sell about 20 acres of land for the building of_ a students’ city, including lodgings, rec- reation grounds and gymnasium. The University of Paris will undertake the construction of the necessary build- ings, toward which one philanthrop- ist has already contributed 10,000,000 francs. It is not expected that this will greatly change the aspect or the char- acteristics of the Latin Quarter, but it will provide accommodations for many foreign students who, unable to find lodgings, are practically excluded from the university. The secretary ot +h~ Qtndonts’ association attributes to lack of lodgings the fact that the number ot students matriculated at the university fell from 11,000 in 1920 to 8,000 this year. AN ITALIAN IRELAND Sardinia, Rather Independent Little Province, Shows Intense Loyalty for King. Rome, July 8.—Sardinia is fond of calling herself the ‘“Ireland” of Italy, and of threatening to separate from the mother country whom it accuses of having always behaved to the gal- 1 nt little island in a somewhat step- moth-=ly way. However, the recent visit of King Victor Emmanuel to his Sardinian subjects was the occasion +ar an outburst of loyalty which will oblige the instigators of separatism to defer their hopes. Even the So- cialists inined in welcoming the king. Sardinia needs roads and railways to transport her splendid harvests of grain and her other agricultural products to the mainland, and above all government help for reclaiming the unhealthy districts and system- atically and scientifically - combatting the terrible scourge of malaria which renders many of her most productive r- vinces almost uninhabitable for several months of the year.

Boston, July 8.—A case in which the fire department was called to save the life_of a young woman who was on the operating table at a hospital and suc- ceeded became known yesterday. The patient had stopped breathing after a major operation and heart and pulse beats became weaker. Physicians and nurses had tried for an hour to revive respiration without success when the fire department was called upon to send a pulmotor. The patient was so weak that pure oxygen could not be pumped safely in- to the lungs at first and clear air was alternated with a dash of oxygen. After seven minutes breathing was begun and in half an hour the paitent's respira- tion was nermal. Dr. S. L. Strong, the physician in charge, said yesterday that ithe pulmotor proved effective and he praised Captain Willlam Swan and the fire department squad in charge of it. lasf on Operating SHIP STRANGELY MISSING., Liner Callao, due in New York Sun- day, May Be in Pirates’ Grip.

Mr. Kaku con- tinued: “The president has often had oc- casion to express his conviction that an Anglo-American-Japanese entente should be made the basis of world peace. There is every reason to be- lieve that the American president and his staff are all in favor of the main- tenance of friendly relations between America and Japan. “Mr. Ozaki’'s policy of armament limitation produced a favorable im- pression on American minds in gen- eral although the plan was defeated in the Japanese lower house. “On my way back, I was often asked by American friends when the Ameri- can-Japanese war was going to break out, and some young American wom- en I met in the country districts as- sured me that they were determinea to offer their services as hospital nurses upon the outbreak of Ameri- to scout suggestions that tho vessel had been a prey of pirates and ex- pressed the beliet that her radio ap- paratus was out of order.

White, tha local livery- man, has disposed of one of his sad- dle horses to Peter P. Curran, who is at present at Brooklyn, N. Y. Mr. Curran, in a letter written recently to Mr. White, states that the horse has attracted considerable attention in Prospect Park, Brooklyn, where he rides him daily. Mr. Curran was con- sidered one of the best horsemen in this section of the state while a resi- dent in this city. The horse which he recently acquired, attracted favorable comment on tho streets here, when ridde= by Thomas R. Morton; the city’s most prominert rider. can-Japanese hostilities. “I was rather surprised that so many Americans should anticipate an American-Japanese armed conflict. My impression is that the Americans are prepared to fight if challenged, but otherwise they will be the last to take up arms against the Japanese. The diplomatic relations of the two countries are not, therefore, by any /| means so seriously strained or going to be strained as to justify any antic- ipation of an American-Japanese war. If the situation appears to be any- thing but quite smooth, that is only because of the propaganda of some Chinese and Bolsheviks.” In the Osaka Mainichi Mr. Kaku is quoted as saying that what had struck home particularly during his three years’ service in the United States was the deep impression which Japan’'s militarism had made on American minds. The general impression among Americans is that the mili- tary party is predominant in Japan and that the Japanese government is under its influence. This bears wit- ness to the extensive injury which the existence of the military party in is doing to the country’s cause. J‘%‘u‘: Mr. Kagku emphasized that Mr. Ozaki's disarmament speeches haa produced a greater echo than expect- ed and that Americans, generally in- terpreted these speeches to indicate a decline in the influence of the Jap- anese military party. He was convinced also that as a re- sult of the friendly attitude of the new American government, the “anti- Japanese’ situation in the United States had improved very consider- STEAMER IS AGROUND United Fruiter Goes Ashore off High- land Light, Near Truro, Mass.—To Flot With Tide. Truro, Mass, July 8.&The United Fruit company’s steamship Mayari went ashore in a fog off Highland light today. She stranded just before low tide and sent word ashore by wire- less today that she expected to float with the water rose. The Mayarl was bound from Banes, Cuba for Boston with sugar. The attention of the Highland light coast guards was attracted to the stemr’s plight of whistling, and Cap- tain Willlam Page and his crew went out to her in their surf boat. A few minutes later the fog lifted momentarily and the steamer could be made out faintly from shore. She ap- peared to be reasting easily on a sand bar. The sea was calm and there ap- peared to be little immediate danger. The .Mayari struck near the spot where the British ship Jason was lost with all hands in 1903. $50,000,000 POOL.

Irving Jester $40,000 Used AMERICA LEADER IN GIVING WORLD NEWS \English Dominions Jealous and Urge Britain to Speed Up London, July 8.—Sharp criticism of the slowness of .communications by steamship, .airplane, telegraph and wirelessc between Great Britain and the dominions were voiced at Tues- day’s session of the imperial confer< ence, at which it was decided to ap- point a committee to consider the development of cemmunications throughout the empire. The official text of the speeches delivered at the meeting was issued today, and in it there were expressons of disapproval of America’s world distribution of news. Premier Hughes of Australia made an unfavorable comparison between the British wireless service and tha German installations that were in operation before the war, as well ts those at present existing in the United States. He said the United States was conducting wireless services to Eng« land, France, Norway, Japan and Ger= many and was arranging to cover other fields. He declared America was dailyt radiating in every direction not only American news but American con< cepts of world events, and instanced the transmission of such news to Chinay which, he said, formed its opinion of of the British empire thereon whils Great Britain did nothing. He con- tended that if Great Britain and the dominions failed to increase their wireless telegraph and wireless tele< phone services in the immediate fu< ture, they would be left far behind other coutries. Premier Meighen of Canada said that, while Canada had less cause to complain than Australia and New Zealand her exchange of news with motherland was unsatisfactory. “News that comes to Canada,” he asserted, “filters through New York and is censored there not by govern- ment authorities but from the Amer- ican standpoint. It reaches us in an undesirable condition and as a result has an undesirable influence and a very serious influence it is.” Winston Spencer Churchill, secre- try of state for the colonies spoke sympathetically regarding these com- plaints. “There is on doubt” he said, “that the American press is able to colleat its news on a vast scale, and, having been paid the cost of this collection by international regulation it can af- ford to dump news into other English speaking countries.” “And advertise itself” interjected Premier Massey of New Zealand. Mr. Churchill declared it was vital in the dissemination of news of the British* empire that a strong British empire atmosphere be develo, adding: e “This will come when the mother country and the dominions are able to tell their story to each other in- stead of having it told by other men.” GREEKS SLAUGHTER TURKS Allied Commission After Investigationw Report That Greeks Have Killed Several Hundred of Enemy. Constantinople, July 8.——The Allied commission of inquiry into recent de- velopments in the Ismid district where depredations were alleged to have oc- curred during successive occupations by Greeks and Turkish Nationalists, returned today and reported that Greek marines had slaughtered sev- eral hundred Turks. The civil administration in the town of Ismid has again been put into oper- ation and has re-established order, The naval detachments which were landed by Allied warships and the American naval units which were sent ashore for the protection of national interests have been withdrawn.

HUNGER STRIKER WINS American Prisoner in Russia Released from Solitary Confinement ‘Warsaw, July 8.—Royal C. Keely, an American civil engineer, serving a two year prison sentence in Russia imposed by the Bolsheviki won out recently when he went on a hunger strike against solitary confinment. In an appeal for food to the Ameri- can Red Cross in Wrsaw on behalf of seven Americans held by the Bolshe- vik in Moscow, Keely wrote that he had been assigned to work in a soviet factory as a mechanic and that he was allowed liberty in Moscow during certain daylight hours. Keely is said to be held by the Bol- she viki on account of his vieWws on Bolshevism after an inspection trip through the country made at the in- vitation of the soviets.
