Tirpitz saw this and rose to the &C.
casion. With the thoroughness as
we'll as the promptitude characteristic
of German state dynamics, when once
the national spirit is aroused, he set
about his task. 1t was an economic
question, primarily, matter of poll
tics, in diverting money to the build
ing of dockyards, armor foundries
and the like, also of circumventing
the watchdogs of the socialist party
in the reichstag.
1t was uphill work at first, but for
tune favors the stubborn. At-the mo-
ment when Tirpitz was struggling to
win over popular opinion to the sup
port of his policy and was finding it
difficult by reason of the increasing
burden of taxation which big ship
programme was settling upon the
shoulders of the nation, there came in
1899 the Bundesrath incident, when a
German mail packet was seized by an
English man-of-war.- That turned the
patriotic tide and the naval law of
1900 was the first result. Honors
showered upon Rear-Admiral Won Tir-
pitz and some big warships were laid
down forthwith. The launching of
these ships a few years later made
Tirpitz full admiral and the supple
mentary naval bill of 1907 won him
the imperial order of the Black Eagle.
He has been state minister Of the adj
miralty since 1901.
A shrewd, practical man of plebeian
origin Che was born at Kustrin in
1S49), Admiral Won Tirpitz has gained
his naval knowledge at sea, in actual
service and under circumstances
which have shown him the necessity
to the Fatherland OF possessing such
fleet as present plans contemplate.

at 25 a lieutenant-commande after

Is New Divorce Law Void?

Is New Divorce Law Void?
Lawyers of Milwaukee are laugh
ing at the legislature over that
appears to be a peculiar error in the
passage of the new divorce law. The
error, according to some authorities,
will make the law absolutely iuopera,
tive.
The divorce bill as passed by both
houses and signed by the governor has
qualifying clause at the end to the
effect that it shall not apply to divorce
suits now pending But the printed law
as approved does not specify just
when it shall take effect Every bill
passed by the legislature is supposed
to contain a clause stating specifically
lust when the law is to be in force,
most of them being put in operation
from and after passage" :" The di'
yorce bill has no such clause.
Assistant Attorney General Titus OF
Madison in an interview in Appleton
is said to have made the admission
that the law would be imperative un,
til it could be patched up at the spe-
cial session of the Legislature next
January.
one of the clauses in the bill will, If
it is operative be a disappointment to
persons contemplating divorce actions.
This clause provides that no court ac-
tion shall be taken in divorce proceed
ings until one year after the suit is
filed with the court The provision is
in line with the theory of lawyers
throughout the country who for sey'
eral years have been striving to make
uniform the divorce statutes of all the
