ENGLAND FEARS GERMANY
Lord Roberts Warns His Country OF
Peril Bv Sea.

London, England. IS Speaking In the
house Of lords Field Marshal Lord
Roberts expressed the conviction that
the lack Of a military force sufficient
to make hopeless the attempt Of an
invasion would, in all probability, be
the cause. Of the loss Of Great Brit
aims supremacy at sea, In a studied
speech he pointed out the compara-.
tive ease with which Germany could
land an army on the shores Of Eng
land. England would be forced, he
std, to submit to most humiliating
remands. He disclaimed all hostility
to or fear Of Germany, but he, said
that the defense of the islands re-
quired immediate attention. There
should be an army so strong In num-
bers and efficient In quality that the
most formidable of foreign nations
would hesitate to make q landing in
England. He had ascertained, the
speaker continued, that vessels capa-
BILE of accommodating 100000, men
always were available In the northern
ports of Germany, and that that num-
Der Of men could be collected in the
districts Of the. nearest port without
any trouble, and that all preliminar-
les, up to the actual dispatch Of
troops, could be carried out with the
utmost secrecy.
ut, would be folly, declared Lord
Roberts, ito shut our eyes to the pos
sibilities, however much peace is de-
sired. The startling events In the
near east have brought home to the
most careless observer that nothing
could. save that country which is not
prepared to protect itself II Great
Britain continues to .opeglect the pre-
cautions she will some day find her
self in the hands of the invaders and
forced to submit to the most humiliat-
| ing conditions. This danger is daily
becoming more threatening. Within
o decade Germany has created the
greatest sea power that ever existed,
except Great, Britain,
1t was Great. Britai1s interest, he
continued, to find out in what way
the great incpease in Germany's great
sea power was likely to affect her and
to adopt measures necessary for her
own defense.
Great Britain's military weakness
would in all probability be the cause
of the loss CT her naval supremacy
Lord Roberts resolutiontto the Ell.
| feet thu the. defence of the islaAds
necessitates the immediate attention
of the government to make provision
for a strong and efficient army, was
adopted by vote OF IA to 3d.

new YORK BREAD LINE.
Labor Agent Powdsrly- Says the Line
Is Made of Liars.

New York City.-That most of the
unfortunates who stand shivering in
New York's bread line waiting for dry
bread and a cup Of coffee are liars
and professional hoboes, who would
not work if employment was offered
them, is the opinion of t. V. Powder
ly, a government labor agent, who has
made a study Of conditions here at
close range.
Speaking Of his observations, the
government agent said: Some Of the
men are all right, but more of them
would not work if they had the
chance. l took one man, for instance,
to a restaurant and bought a meal.
When it was served he asked if it
might be taken home to his family.
He was one of those who honestly
wanted to work and could fn7 moth
ing to do.
1.-THE majority told me tales about
their lives-tales knew to be false.
Some of them pretended to have
been bankers, brokers, or engaged in
other lines of business. Their very
speech betrayed them. Most of them
are buns and scalawags."

With the arrival Of the new men
work Oh the wharves was resumed,
but the newcomers are not satisfied,
at least a portion Of them are not,
and declare they were not told that
a strike was on here. Some Of them
applied to the mayor and wanted to

formed that the city had nothing to

they will not be allowed to remain
in the city unless they secure some

DIVORCE CASES in U. S.
America Shows More Separations
Than any Other Country.
one MARRIAGE in TWELVE
Eventually Fail---Desertion Most Com
mon Cause Of Divorce---Many Sepaea-
tions are Caused by Drunkenness.


Washington, d. C-The divorce rate
appears to be much higher Ii the
United States than in any Of the for.
eign countries for which statistics re-
lating to the subject have been OBJ
/ tanned, not less than one marriage in
twelve in this country ultimately ter
minating in divorce. This fact has
been ascertained by the census which
has just completed compilation Of
statistics Of marriage and divorce COW
ering the twenty years from 1887 to
1905, inclusive. Similar statistics for
the previous twenty years were gath
cred some years ago.
The figures show that at the end Of
the forty-year period divorces were
increasing about three times as fast
as the population, while in the first
decade Of the period they increased
only about two and two-thirds as fast.
In the six years from 1900 to 1906.
population increased 10 per cent and
divorces 293 per cent The divorce
rate increased per 100000 Of popula-
| ton from 30 in 1870 to so in 1905
there being one divorce for every 81
/ 441 persons in the former years, while
/ in, the latter there was one for every
! 11.218. persons.
During the twenty years from 1887
| to 1906 the total number of recorded
marriages was 12,832,044; while tho
number of divorces granted during
this period was 945,625 For the pre-
vious twenty years the number Of d.
svorces was 1928, 7f8 ,At the beginning
! Of the fort years period divorces oc
'rcurEed at the rate Of 10000 a year.
While at the end Hof the period the an
nual number was about 66,000
Al more significant divorce rate is
that which is based, not on total pop
plation, but on the total married pops
ulation. since It is only married peoa
pie Who can become divorced. These
statistics show that in 1870 the di.
yprCe, rate per 100000 married pop
ulation was 81, while in 1900 1t was
200. This shows that divorce Is az
] present two and half times as COM
mon compared with the married pop
uIation. as 1t was forty years ago.
xThe average duration of marriage
terminated by divorce is about ten
years, so per cent Of them being less
than ten years. The number Of years

fact that was revealed. that 81 per
