sign. The Tageblatt says that IL it be true.

Picking and place themselves under the
protection of the powers.
Another batch of soldiers letters, describ-
ing horrible cruelties committed in China

Tsin and Picking IL has become a sport for
the allied troops. especially the Russians,

now denounce such methods.
The Cologne Volks Zeitung. the Centrist
organ says. ''Such wholesale numbering

Bishop MacLaren Says the Evils Of
Divorce Are Rapidly Increasing.

CHICAGO. Nov. 15.-The Right Rev. Will
liam E. MacLaren, bishop of the Episcopal
diocese of Chicago, declared to-day that
the rapidly increasing evils of absolute d.
vorce had so lowered the tone of public
morality that ecclesiastical legislation was
a necessity. Bishop MacLaren announced
himself as favoring the adoption OF the
canon proposed by Episcopalian authori-
ties, which forbids rectors from performing
the marriage ceremony when either OF the
contracting parties is DIVORCE. He also
considers opportune the canon excluding
from communion such persons as are d.
yorced for cause arising after marriage
and marry again during the lifetime of the
other party Bishop MacLaren says he
will work for their Endorsement by the
church at its next assembly.

South that he take such action as may

States and fnjure other American inter-
ests. The petitioners declare that the

the retention OF the trade in cotton shirt
ings Of China, most of which are manu-
featured i'm Southern States. IL is said that
the withdrawal of this trade in Manchuria

MAY REMOVE TO SHANGHAI.


TIEN-TSIN, Oct 14.-In the opinion of
military men there Is little likelihood that
recently renewed operations will be pro-
longed after the cold weather has fairly
set in Few of the forces now here are
adequately equipped for winter campaign
ing, and this region cannot be relied on
for any supplies. Little grain was harvest
ed. as the harvest season occurred after
the trouble began and the laborers were
driven out. Recent foraging parties ex-
tending to a considerable distance have
found few herds, and the allies are forced
to rely entirely on their own cOmmissaries.
The military situation is naturally depend
ent on the progress of diplomatic negOtia-
tions. II IS known that Count Won Valdez
see, the commander of the allies, is con-
Sidering the advisability of removing his
winter headquarters TO Shanghai and this
is taken to indicate that the allies Will
not endeavor TO prolong operations in the
north. Prior To his departure for Peking.
it was unofficially intfmated that His plans
contemplated Shanghai the most avail
able point for the winter, and in the event
of his removal there IL IS considered prob
able the commanders OF at least part
of the old forces will go also.
The fears of coal stringency in Picking
have been somewhat relieved by the or
ganization of caravan TO the coal dis
tricts. The supply, however, is small. and
even with the exertion OF all possible eff
forts to secure fuel, ii is believed in mill
tary circles that the winter will be Sc
we're the troops, both here and In Pc
king. An early winter is generally pre-
dicted. The temperature fell suddenly to
"A degrees last night. which is unusually
low for this season.
The British have abandoned their camp
on the plains TO the southwest, and with
the return of the Pao-Ting-Fu expedition,
will put their men in buildings for the win
ter. The bulk of the German force is be-
ing rapidly sent forward 10 Peking. but
those still here are in tents, and the
scarcity OF lumber probably will prevent
the erection OF winter barracks. The in
adequacy of the railway facilities is a
source of much embarrassment. as indi-
Press, there is no likelihood that the road
from Yang-Tsun to Picking will be in oper-
alton this winter, consequently the allies
are depending on the river for transpor-
Iation. The Americans. fearing that the
rapid fall in the Pei-Ho will impede navf-
cation, are using wagon trains 10 rush
supplies TO Picking They are the only
force equipped with wagons and animals.
General Humphrey, the chief quartermas-
ter, Is sending four-mule trains up as fast
as possible. and the bulk of the supplies
for the American garrison at Peking is
already under way or safely stored in the
capital. Little progress has been made
BY the allied forces, who. with the ex-
ception of the Russians, will maintain a
large garrison at Picking. AS a result.
the opinion is gaining ground that por-
tion Of the present estimate of troops may
be forced to withdraw.
