Naval Officers Experts in Diplomacy

The story Is that the Relief has been
burdened with woe ever since the
cruise began, and that every officer Of
the navy, except the doctors, il
tickled to death that this is SO. The
line officers who didn't approve having
doctor as their commander have
found many ways. the story goes, of
making life miserable to the men in
charge Of the hospital ship. OF course
the suggestion Of service conspiracy
to this end would be resented and
could not be proven, but there Is q
sub rosa intimation that something
very like cabal has been formed
with the purpose Of proving how much
doctor doesn't know about running
q ship.
Wherever the feet has been the Re
lief has usually limped along behind
the procession. She has had trouble
getting supplies, getting coal, getting
consideration of all kinds. II always
just happened this way and nobody
in particular was to blame. It II
limited that when the feet returns sug.
gestions will be made in many quar-
tiers that the cruise has demonstrated
that nobody Is competent to manage
a war vessel who is not an accredited
oficer Of the navy. In other words.
that the experience of the Relief, with
a medical officer in command, has
been hopeless failure.

Ethel Roosevelt Mourns Loss of Lemon

general lookout order was sent to
every district In the precinct, and by
nightfall there was not a dog on the
streets Of Washington. In the collec-
ton held for Identification was every
species Of canine from NANCY mastiff
to fea'bitten fee, but none answered
to the name Of Lemon.
Various motives, II a dog may have
q motive, may be assigned to Lemons
abrupt departure from the Roosevelt
household. He might have had q
vision Of small bull pup swinging to
the port side of lion In the wilds of
Africa, and his masters voice shout
ing 'sic EN- Lemon"
Again, he might have dreaded the
time when he would reach the proper
age to be harnessed to one Of Master
Arches carts, or be matched In
main, with the household cat, or wear
an empty can attached to his tail.
However. Lemons motive for running
away is purely speculative, for 1t Is
not given in the police report, and his
mistress can attribute no cause for
the rash act"

NJ HEN It comes to diplomatic
w maneuveIing to accomplish their
designs the officers Of the navy can
give pointers to the Russians and the
Japanese. AS an instance the case Of
the hospital ship Relief may be cited.
It will be remembered that last win
ter President Roosevelt made an or
der that the Relief should be COM
manded by a medical oficer. The men
at the navy department were amazed
that a doctor should be given COM
mand Of a vessel. but there was no
appeal from Mr.. Roosevelt's order.
The Relief was detailed to accompany
the feet on it's trip around the world.
Letters from men who are with the
feet have been received here telling
OF the sad experiences Of the hospital
ship and her commander. In describ-
Ing these experiences one writer pref
aced his letter as follows: The Re
lief is the most unpopular institution
In the navy. There is no exception.
The Relief has everything else beaten"

At the solicitation of Clarence ].

Amazing Increase in Divorce Is Shown

population was 81 In 1870 and 200 In
1890. This comparison" says the
bulletin, Indicates that divorce Is at
present two and one-half times as
common, compared with married
population, as 1t was 40 years ago."
The Dakotas. which have national
reputation as divorce states. prove, on
analysis Of the tables, to be nowhere,
either In total number OF divorces
granted or number Of divorces per
100000 of population, as against other
states.
In discussing the relation of divorce
to population, the bulletin says: IAN
increase of 30 per cent. In population
between the years 1870 to 1880 was
accompanied by an increase OF 70 per
cent, In the number of divorces granted
In the next decade. 1880 to 1890. the
population increased Is per cent. and
divorces 70 per cent. and in the fol-
lowing decade. 1890 to 1900. an In
crease of 81 per cent. In population
was accompanied by an increase Of
Sc per cent. In the number OF divorces.
In the six years from 1900 to 1906,
population. as estimated, increased
los per cent and divorces 1913 per
cent.
1T thus appears that at the end of
the 40-year period divorces were in
creasing about three times as fast az
population, while In the first decade
(1870 to 1SS0) they increased only
about two and two-thirds as fast.
Divorce rates appear to be much
higher in the United States than In
any of the foreign countries for which
statistics relating to this subject have
been obtained"
Two-thirds of the total number of
divorces granted In the 20-year period
covered by this investigation were
granted to the wife. Children were re-
ported in 1913 per cent. of the total
number OF divorce cases.

w ASHINGTON.-It was generally
w known that divorces In the
United States were getting more
numerous each year, but nobody was
prepared for the surprising statement
made In q census bureau report that
one marriage out of every twelve in
the country terminates in divorce.
Yet such is the case, as shown by the
bureaus figures.
The statistics are the result of care
ful gathering of figures in every state
In the union, the period covered being
from 1887 to 1906. The last set Of
national statistics on marriage and
divorce covered the period from 1867
to 1886. The present set of statistics,
taken In conjunction with the former
one, therefore, gives a view of the
marriage and divorce question for the
past 40 years.
The total number of marriages re-
corded for the 20-year period from
1887 to 1906 was 12,832,044. The total
number of divorces for the period was
945,625.
For the period of the first investiga-
ton of the subject. from 1867 to 1886.
the total number OF divorces was $685.
TIC. At the beginning Of the 40-year
period covered by both Investigations
there were In this country 10000 d.
vorces annually; at the end of the
period there were $4,000 annually.
The divorce rate per 100000 popula-
ton increased from 20 in 1897 to SO
