nOuncement of Her Intention TO Take
Immediate steps-BeIief I'm Dresden
That the Prince viii Appeal to the
| Pope for nn Absolute Divorce
Vienna, Dec. 24.-The crown princess
of Saxony, through NJ. Lachenal, for
mer president of Switzerland, has in
formed the Neues Weiner Tageblatt
that she intends to take immediate
steps to procure divorce. She will not
return to Salzburg for fear of being
placed in an asylum. In two letters to
her intimate friend, Princess Therese of
! Bavaria, the crown princess complains
bitterly of her treatment at the Saxon
| court, how she was always subjected
to the strictest supervision. She says
the official statements in the case are
incorrect, as is also public gossip
Dresden, Saxony, Dec. 24.-It is re-
ported here that the crown princess of
Saxony left her husband written con-
fession of her relations with M. Giron,
together with a declaration of her unal-
terable intention of never returning to
the Saxon court The court has no
official information as to the present
whereabouts of the princess, but it is
known here that she is going to Men
tone, France, to reside. The court is at
present concerned with considerations
as to the best course to pursue in the
matter. 1t is believed that the pope
will be appealed to to grant an absolute
divorce.
Berlin, Dec. 24-The crown prince
beat the crown princess, according to
an editorial statement in the Vossiche
Zeitung, one Of the most careful news
papers published in Berlin, which adds:
Their disagreement reached this crisis
in June after Professor Giron became
the children's tutor The princess at
that time considered seeking a divorce
and visited her best friend, the Princess
Therese of Bavaria. who dissuaded her.
LiG plAuCSSop lIpHCfVIb aLtCi 4CtuAh hlhS
to Dresden did not resume marital re-
lations."
The sympathy of the people of Dres-
den was wholly with the princess, who
is of a cheerful, pleasure seeking dispo-
sition. The crown prince loved to tor
ment her. Among the writers forbidden
here were Holstoi, Zola and Nitzsche.
One day the crown prince saw her read
ing one of Nitzsche's works and he
knocked the book out Of her hands and
tore 1t to pieces.
Professor Andre Giron is described as
an ideaist Of the extreme type. 1t is
related that his family once considered
the question of confining him in an asy-
lum.

of his bravery in saving the lives of
two sailors on Thanksgiving day Abra-
ham Lincoln Ford was tonight pre-

John and William Geary, brothers, who
were on the barge got into the boat and
Fort attempted to row them ashore.

from drowning, while the other brother
rghted the boat. He then assisted
both men into the boat and rowed them
ashore in safety. Several wealthy ch-
izens of Greenwich heard of the incident
and decided to reward Ford by making
him a Christmas gift. Ford was in
the navy at onet time and was awarded

BRITISH NAVAL EDUCATION.
AdmiraIty's New Scheme TO Develop
Greater General Efficiency.

Greater General Efficiency.
London, Dec. 25.-several papers have
been issued which give full details of
the new scheme for naval education un-
der which the training Of officers is to
be unified and simplified by the adop-
ton of a. single system for the training
of cadets for all three branches of the
service, executives, engineers and ma
rines.
The earl of Selbourne, first lord of the
admiralty, in an explanatory article in
which he argues that modern develop
ment of the navy require a change in
the personnel, says:
SIN the old days it sufficed if a naval
officer was a seaman; now he must be a
seaman, a soldier, an engineer and a
man of science as we'll. To-day more
language and study is needed than in
the past, and the highest type of naval
officer is that in which great profess
sional knowledge is added to force Of
character. This danger within the
navy itself is lest insufficient import
ance be attached to the results Of study,
and lest the value of what is called
practical character" should be placed
higher than it deserves
The scheme as now detailed confirms
the previous forecast. 1t will become
operative next July. For the seven
years all cadets will receive identical
training in every branch Of the service,
special attention being given to sscienti-
fic study. Thence forward, from the age
of twenty, the cadets will be drafted
into the different branches, and will be-
gin to realize the practical side of their
work"
While the newspapers this morning
generally commend the scheme as a
courageous attempt in the direction of a
very necessary reform, it Is expected
that it will meet with considerable op-
position. Its principal defect, as point
ed out in editorial articles this morning,
is that engineer and marine officers will
still be debarred from attaining flag
rank and that all cadets, therefore, will
want to enter for the executive branch
The Standard says: "We do not blame
the admiralty for hesitating to follow
the example of the United States in
whose navy the executive and engineer
branches have been combined with
very dubious results): but the admiralty
has gone so far that it certainly will be
compelled to go further
