wILI GO TO OTTAWA.
Second Regiment Officers Accept Invita-
 ton Last Evening


 At a special meeting of the regimental and staff officers of the Second regiment last evening 1t was unanimously voted to accept the invitation of the civil and military authorities of Ottawa and visit that city some time in May. If the plans are carried out, New Haven coun- ty will be we'll nigh stripped of her military defenders for four days or so. The regiment will take along the band. signal corps and machine gun platoon if these latter desire to go.
 Several of the companies have all ready voted to go on the trip. The Sars- fields and Grays have taken no formal action yet, but it is believed that they will do so now that formal invitation has been received.
 It will be remembered that Consul General Turner at Ottawa was former@ ly an officer in the Second regiment, and later on the governors staff. The Ottawa authorities consulted with him in regard to the sending of the invita- tion. It is needless to say that Colonel Turner was pleased with the proposi- ton. It is probable that the regiment may add several other places to their itinerary

DIVORCE REFORM LEAGUE
NATIONAL BODY HOLDS IMPORTANT
 SESSION IN BOSTON.

Report of Rev. Samuel w. Dike, the Cor
 proved Marriage Laws Have Been se-
 cured in a Number of States-Oklahoma
 Has Repealed Her Former Loose Law.
 Boston, Jan. 2S.-The annual meeting
 of the National Divorce Reform league
 was held here this afternoon. It was
 of more than ordinary importance. Not
 only was there proposal to change
 the name of the association to "The
 National League for the Protection of
 the Family" or some equivalent title,
 but to make corresponding change in
 the statement of the object of the asso- ciation. From the report of the cor
 responding secretary, Rev. Samuel w. Dike, the following extract is made: The change in the name of the league simply puts us before the public in our true character Improved mar riage laws have been secured in a num-
 Der of states. Indiana designates the classes of persons who may celebrate
 marriage. Missouri requires that all
 such shall be citizens of the United States. Probate courts in Michigan
 may now issue marriage Licenses pri- vately under careful regulations, to
 protect the good name of women in eer-
 tain cases. Oklahoma mas repealed her
 former loose marriage law and enacted a new one. with system of license, re- turns nd records much like that of the | older states.
 Massachusetts and New Hampshire have improved their excellent laws for the registration of marriage still fur ther. California has now made the I marriage of divorced persons illegal un- | til one year after the decree of divorce has been rendered. Washington makes | the offer by advisement to procure di- vorces, annulments of marriage, etc., a misdenleanor. Kansas has forbidden her courts to grant divorces on the un- corroborated testimony of the husband and wife. Minnesota has adopted the former recommendation of the commits sions on uniform legislation and made l the term of residence in the state be- | force divorce one year. Maryland can now be added to the growing list of l states that provide for the punishment by fine or Imprisonment of man who I wilfully deserts his wife or child, or who | fails without just cause to provide for | their support"
 | The league unanimously voted to call itself ''The National League for the l Protection of the Family" It was vot- i ed also to make a constitutional an nouncement of the object of the associ- ation to read as follows: Its object shall be- through the improvement Of public sentiment and legislation. to pro l tect the institution of the family. espe- cally as affected by existing evils re- l lating to marriage and divorce. and to
 secure it's proper efficiency in individual l and social life"
 The following officers were elected:
 President, the Rt. Rev. William Law

 presidents, Hon. Nathaniel Shipman
