CENSORSHIP ON THE NEWS.

London, August 11.--There is little actual
news this morning concerning Transvaal
affaire. From the silence of the dispatches
regarding MIR. Chamberlain last speech 1t
looks as though the censorship were again
active. 1t is evident, however. that the
amendment to the constitution authorizing
the government to call on all Inhabitants
without distinction in case Of war. to as
sist in defense of the State, has created
some amount OF alarm.
The German Uitlanders are said to have
appealed to their consul to interfere In
the matter, while the Standard and Digger
News, the Boer organ, publishes state
ment that the government has sanctioned
assurances that there is no idea of calling
upon Engllshmen to fight Englishmcn or
in any way offending international senti-
ments.
Dispatches from Petermaritzbnrg report
considerable military activity there. Com
manding officers nave held meeting ana
issued circulars notifying the volunteers
to hold themselves in readiness for active
service.

London cable says: President Kruger must
choose quickly between surrender or war.
Colonial Secretary Chamberain's state
ment in the house OF commons yesterday
on the Transvaal crisis has caused a pro-
found sensation. 1t is plain intimation
that when free from interference by par
lament the cabinet ministers intend to
enter upon more aggressive policy.
Mr. Chamberlain did not deny that his
proposition for joint Anglo Boer inquiry
into the operation of the new franchise
law of the South African republic was a
breach Of the convention under which all
internal affairs were reserved 10 the con
troll of the Bocr government, and that the
Beers refusal to go into the inquiry would
be an unjusthable cause for quarrel.
The ministerial plan will be to go to
war II necessary and apply for bill of
indemnity at the next session of parlia-
ment
Many shrewd observers think that Mr..
Chamberlain is under the deluson that
such war would be popular in England.

UNIFORM DIVORCE LAVE

A uniform divorce law is the desid-
eratum for which many reformers are
earnestly striving. and the records of
the courts point clearly to the need Of
one. Eastern people should not run
away with the notion that the divorce
industry thrives only in the west for
the abuse is fragrant in New England
The recent Boston record Of 100 DEGREES
granted in two days may perhaps pre-
pare us for the startling statistics
While 1913 bills were granted in one IL
linois county in a single year, 500 were
issued in a single MASSACHUSETTS, coun
ty 478 in Maine and 4O1 in Connecti-
cut. For all New England the record
Of single year is 2113 divorces. and
10000 for twenty years These facts
show the wisdom Of the law recently
enacted by the Massachusetts legis-
lature, restricting to certain persons
named the right of performing the mar
rage ceremony. Clandestine and hasty
marriages easily made are the most
conspicuous feedersof the divorce dock
cts. Obviously, the most effective wav
to correct the present growing evil is
by a general divorce law which shall
bring the citizens Of all states under
the same jurisdiction in this matter
There may be constitutional ques-
ton here, but those who propose The
remedy seem TO fear nothing on that
account, and at any rate, the plan is
worth further investigation.
