NoRTHLAND INWSIBLY fl|RTEO
LOVED MRS. STIRLING ONLY
FOR TEN MINUTES.
Does Not Know Whether He Will
Wed Her if She Becomes Free
of Present Bonds.

| EDINBURGH, Scotland. February >
Mrs. Clara Taylor Stirling experienced
the deep humiliation yesterday of hearing
Lord Northand. whom she had been
compelled 10 testify she was in love with.
ungalantly deny that he ever was in love
with her
/ His lordship most bIandly declared
that his friendship for Mrs. Stirling al
ways had been platonic, save for about
| ten minutes, when he wrote her the let
ter beginning Darling" He further aE-
srieved Mrs. Stirling by declaring on the
| witness stand in the divorce suit against
Capt. Stirling that he hadn't any inten-
! ton of marrying her.
Lord Northand coined a new phrase,
which is destined to popularity when he
/ admitted that he had f1irted with Mrs.
Stirling. but he said the fiirta ton was iii
visible" Even the grim Scotch judge
! smiled at the noblemans discovery OF
| 'nvisible ffirtations.
| The son of an earl stoutly denied ever
misconductng himself with the pretty
| American woman. The testimony was
| concluded yesterday evening. and the
| lawyers will address the court next week.
Denies Any Misconduct.
During the examination of Lord North
| land Mrs. Strings lawyer said:
You are accused of misconducting
yourself with Mrs. Stirling at Amberley
| cottage"
THAT is untrue Lord Northland
warmly asserted II never misconducted
myself with her at any time
When asked why he wrote Mrs. Stirling
the letter beginning Darling" Lord
Mort HAND replied that it was on the spur
of the moment and out of sympathy with
Mrs. Stirling.
The letter was undelivered because
/ asked Mrs Atherton to stop it, and
she did, continued Lord Northland.
Did YOU ever call her darling be-
| fore?'
NO: nor since
RehearSng the scene at the club where
| Capt. Stirling had asked him If he would
| marry Mrs. Stirling in the event that she
was divorced. Lord NOrthland said:
Il told Stirling that there wasnt any
question of compulsion about marrying
her. ! told him | did not know what |
would do il she was a free woman.
Admits "Invisible Filtration
Under cross-examination by the lawyers
of Capt Stirling the husband Lord
Northland was asked:
Mrs Atherton stated you and Mrs
Stirling flirted?'
Yes. we tiirted. but it wasn't much
1t wasn't visible
How do you firt-nvisibly
We'll, it wasn't much
Taking up again the matter. of the
| darling letter. the lawyer asked:
Weren't you in love with her them?
Yes, but it lasted only about ten min
utes. while | was writing the letter.
THAT your only lapse from hon
ora BILE conduct?
Yes.
"Was she anxious to marry you, if you
got free?'
Il don't know
Even the court smiled when Lord North
land admitted that he had been hard up
for money all his life.

&ora Married Men
Than Women in =. S.

Ithaca, N. Y.-During the coarse OF
lecture Walter F. Wilcox, the Cor
nell statistician, asserted that there
are in this country about 10000 more
married men than married women.
He explained that this condition wa
not because women had an undue
proportion of h~s1s bat becaus'
of the large numbet-'r-A1 immigrants
here who left their wives behind.
There are also a large number OF
people who GO not know whethr they
are married Or not, he said.
"In only Hungary and Indis," he
said, "is there, perhaps, a larger pro-
portion Of married persons than here"
Other statements of Professor Will
cox were:
''In parts of Wyoming there are
probably two men to every woman"
1.-THE cities have an excess Of ft-
males and the surrounding country an
excess of males.'
Marriage IS more prevalent in the

ORIGIN OF BRITISH SQUARE
Battle Formation First Used by
Scotch Troops at the Battle Of
Banneckburn,

The greatest Of all Scotch anniVer-
sATies is that Of Bannocburn, fought
on midsummer day in the year 1914
Apart from its bearing on the inde.
pendence of Scotland, the battle will
always have an exceptional interest
from the military point of view, as
BRnnockburn may be said to have
been the birthplace OF the British
square. Proud Edwards" arEy
mainly consisted OF cavalry, while
that of the Scots, on the other hand,
was almost exclusively composed of
foOt-folk, armed with the spear, and
these Bruce threw into "schiltroms,"
or Oblong squares formation bor-
rOWed by Wallace from the FTemings,
who had employed it with success at
Courtray-to resust the charge Of the
English cavalry.
Hitherto the mounted mail-clad
knight had carried everything before
him, but COuTtrAy and BannOckbuTn
proved that he was pOwerless to
break resolute, speaT-armed infantry
drawn up in "schiltFom" or hedgehog
formation, and these two battles reVo-
lutiOnized the tactics OF the continent
ap6 Of our own island. Profting by
ths lesson which had been taught
them at BAnnockburn the English sp-
piled the tactics Of the Scots with
brilliant success at Crecy. and still
more at Agincourt. AS It was the
Scots who may be said to have orig
mated the British square at BRnnock-
burn, so it was they again who at
Balaclava were the first to discard
It with their thin red line" and now,
owing to our changed conditions OF
warfare, 1t is discarded altogether.
