LONDON HOTELS
NOT FOR DOWlE.
Hosts Have No Desire for Rep
etition Of Former Scenes.

John Alexander Dowie arrived
here this morning from Holland
and made tour Of the hotels,
accompanied by his wife and son
escorted by deacons in search of
communications. Everywhere
he met with refusals, as the man
ayers are afraid of a repetition of
of the rowdyism which marked
Dowie's former stay here. Ulti-
mately being unable to find 1odg-
ing, Dowie proceeded to the Zio-
mist headquarters. These have
been connected with the police
telephones in anticipation of a
possible onslaught by the mob.

MANY DIVORCES
IN NORTH STATE.
Seventy Per Cent Remarry and
Generally Very Quickly.

A divorce is granted in this
state for abandonment for year.
The result is that there have
been many more divorces since
1885 than we're in all the long
course of years up to that da;e.
There were last year about TO-,
600 marriages in this state and L.
400 divorces, given the frightfu1
proportion of one divorce to every
seven marriages; the proportion
as grea as that of any state in the
union. At least, 20 per cent of the
persons divorced remarry and
generally very quickly, and the
divorce is very often secured
for this particular purpose. The
Episcopal, Methodist Episcopal,
Baptist and Presbyterian
churches, through their speakers
have pledged the solid backing of
their denominations. The speak
ers declare that there is only one
just cause for divorce, and that
the legislature had deliberately
nulified Gods law.

RUSSIANS DECOYED BY

Japanese made a false retreat,
the Russians holly following them
when the Japanese made a flank
movement, catching the Russians
in trap. The Russian losses
are placed at eight hundred men.
Then they fell back on Kai-Chou
and began to retreat along the
Baima Tgu-Tsaichou road.
About 1000 Russian infantry
from Kai-Chou passed through
Niuchwang this morning, accom-
panied by a large supply and
hospital train. Several carts
contained bandaged men. The
troops appeared to be tagged out,
and showed every indication of a
long forced march. The officers
refused to furnish any informa-
ton, but a non-com missioned Of

Niuchwang, June 1916 a. m.
A Chlnaman, who was smuggl-

told correspondent of the AS
