Judge Advocates View.

In an opinion to the Secretary of War
the judge advocate general of the army
says: 1t is believed that if police
officer is allowed TO render service at all
he should be regarded as doing so under
contract relation with the United
States. and that an act of legislation on
the part of the state which would de-
prive him of the full compensation which
lie is entitled to receive under the laws
of the United States for such service will
fall within the same reason was APP
Piled by the Supreme Court TO the matter
OF the taxation by the state of the salary
of officers of the United States. 1t is clear
that it would to "a large extent. defeat
the purpose for which the reward is Of
fcred. 1t is therefore the opinion of this
office that the statute in question should
not be construed covering the rewards
paid by the United States for the appre-
heusion and delivery of deserters.'

MONEY PAID AS REWARD
War Department Ruling on Earn
ings for Captures of Deserters
From the Army.

That the reward paid to policeman
Tor the capture of a deserter of the
United States Army cannot be taken from
him by an act of state legislature is
the position taken by the War Depart
ment.
That ruling has been made by the de-
partInent in response to a request from
the commander of the Department of the
Missouri for a decision on a law that has
recently been enacted by the Iowa state
legislature. In the Iowa law it is pro-
vided that all rewards in money that
may be paid to police officer for ex
traordinary services must be turned over
TO the policemens pension fund. The
question is now under consideration by
the attorney general of Iowa, and the
commander of the Department of the
Missouri is requested to call his atten-
ton to the ruling of the War Depart
ment.

NEW DIVORCE LAWS
URGED At CONFERENCE
Limitation of Armaments Also
Favored by Christian Citi-
zenship Body.

PHILADELPHIA, Pa. November 10
Resolutions were adopted at the final
session here today Of the Worlds Chris
tan Citizenship Conference urging a
reformation Of divorce laws, ethical in
struction in the public schools based
upon the Bible, peace congresses between
nations and a limitation of ornaments
and a wider study OF Japanese and Chi
nese history and literature in the public
schools as safeguard against interna-
tional complications in the far east.
1t also was resolved to hold a special
convention at an early date in Illinois
10 protest against a decision of that
state excluding the Bible from the public
schools except as literature, and the pro-
hibition of the Bible in the school Ii
braries by the state superintendent of
public instruction.
The resolution on divorce, requesting
the National Reform Association to
undertake a systematic campaign in the
state legislatures for the reformation of
the divorce laws. was objected to by
some of the delegates on the ground
that it did not go far enough.
Cooperation to Be Sought.
1t was suggested that the conference
reduce the grounds for divorce to few
specific causes, but no such action was
taken and the resolution was adopted
with the proviso that the interchurch fed
Grafton and other like bodies be asked to
cooperate in securing divorce reform leg
islation in all the states.
The American delegates to the con-
ference just closed will meet i'm Los
Angeles in 1917, under the auspices of the
National Reform Association. This meet
ing will be preparatory to the world $
conference to be held in London In 1919.
Many speakers were heard at today 5
session on the progress being made by
Christian workers in many foreign lands.
