SINGLE MORAL. N

~ AASGNSA0 0Ak2NO1AnO -
A great discussion has been stirred
up in England, and a greater one is no
doubt to follow, as a result Of there.
port Of the royal commission on divorce
appointed by King Edward, which has
just concluded its arduous ~three-year
task. The report of the commission
is looked upon in England as being ex.
tremely radical in that it opens up mum.
erous doorways for those seeking a dis
solution of the marriage bond.
The marriage law in England has
been exceedingly severe in comparison
with the conditions in most other coun.
tries, divorce being practically forbid.
den except for gross misconduct. and
then obtainable only at great cost.
The, report favors allowing annul.
ment also for desertion, extreme cruel.
ty, incurable insanity, habitual drunk.
enness and imprisonment. The most
significant feature is its plea for q sin.
gle standard of morality: It refers to
woman g changed position in the world
OF today and declares:
sour conclusion is that no satisfac.
tory solution of the problem which ID
raised as to personal relations between
husband and wife can be found except
by placing the mon an equal footing
and declaring that whatever grounds
are permitted to a husband for obtain.
ing a divorce from his wife, the same
grounds shall be available for a wife
in q suit against her husband.n
This is q radical departure from cr..
tom in England. A minority of three
out Of fifteen members opposed the re-.
port. The newspapers in England
generally have opposed it. The oppo.
sltlon OF the church is. expected to de.
feat it. Yet even in England the It.
titude toward the subject has under.
gone great change, as can be noted
from the fact that the Lambeth con.
ference carried by a majority of only
three a resolution denying the right
of in innocent party to. a divorce IA
marry again with church sanction.
English critics assail the new idea
on the ground that it means Ameri.
canizing the British. marriage. 4

The order Of President Taft, putting
on the civil service list some thirty.six
Thousand postmasters of the fourth
class, has provoked a veritable storm
Of discussion and criticism and has
naturally prompted the question: What
will Mr.. Wilson do about it when he
takes ofticeit
With about three million office hun
CRY democrats, clamoring for the polls
which they really believe should come
to them as a reward for their efforts
in the late campaign, on the one hand,
and the dare Of the present administra.
ton to Mr.. Wilson. to violate the civil
service rules by reyoking the order Of
President Taft, on the other, the dem.
'ocrats are in imminent danger Of get.
ting Gin bad'' before they ret fairly
started.
It is generally admitted by demo.
Gratis and republicans alike that Taft,s
order was q good thing and q move in
the right direction, but democrats, OF
at least some Of them, complain that
1T smacks Of q desire to hold his friends
in office, coming as it does SO late in
his term.
Our guess is that MI. Wilson, by
reason Of political pressure which il
certain to be brought to bear, may
modify the order, but that he will not
revoke it, no matter if he should de.
sire 50 to do.
Fourth class postmasters were not an
issue in the late campaign, most II
them, are competent and the real choice
Of the communities which they serve,
and Wilson will probably let well
enough alone and allow Taft's order :,
stand, for q time at least.

BLUE SKY LAWS PoPUr.AR

Kansas first won fame for a "blue
sky law" designed to protect investors
who show a willingness to buy some
thing that has gilt letters upon it and
bears the name of "stock." Many
mining stocks, land schemes, and other
promotions have no more. value Of
merit behind themiSthan as if they were
options on a little section of the blue
sky above. Anyone with a little money
may have stock certificates printed,
land offered at wonderful values may
be under water or on a mountain side.
and many other strange things may
be exploited. To protect widows, who
suddenly find themselves with a little
ready money to invest, and other gull
lible investors, these blue sky laws are
designed
The Kansas law has attracted favor
able attention in Kansas, Maine,
Washington, Oregon, Illinois and Min.
nesota, where thought is now being d.
rected to this form Of legislation.
The fault found with the Kansas Law
is that it requires stock-selling enter
prises to receive, the enlargement of the
State Banking commissioner, including
an opinion from him whether the ses
cnrities offered would yield fair re-

LAST BIG BATTLE
NOW BEING FOUGHT
NEAR CONSTANTLNOPLE

LONDON. Nov. S.--A great battle Is
In progress between the Bulgarians ana
Turks along the line of the Chatalka
fortificatlons only some twenty-five
miles outside of Constantinople. 1t Is
generally believed that this will be the
last Of the remarkable series of comoats
which have been going on for upward
OF a fortnight with little or no breath
ing space.
One report received from Sofia last
night said that the Bulsarians had oc-
cupied the Chatalja line but this res
mains without confirmation. 1t probably
arose from a despatch sent by Lieut.
Wagner to the Vienna Reichspost. in
which he said the Bulgarians had occu.
pied the town OF Deliyunus outside the
fort OF the same name which forms one
OF the Chatalja defences
The same correspondent added that
fresh battle had started and was
spreading along the Chatalya line. the
moment.
While the Turks have another and
more modern line of Notifications be.
tween Chatalja and Constantinople
there Is little chance in the opinion
of military experts that they will make
a stand there II they are defeated al
ChatalJa. 1t is reported. however, that
the famous Damascus regiments OF the
Turkish army have been reserved FOR
this last effort to save the capital.

RUSH ]. S. CRUISERS

GUARD AMERICANS
Tennessee and Montana Now
at Philadelphia, Will Start
Tomorrow.

WASHINGTON. Nov. s.-Two big ar.
mored cruisers, the Tennessee and the
Montana, have been given rush orders
10 proceed to Turkish waters to look
apter the interests OF American citizens
The vessels are now In reserve at the
Philadelphia navy yard. the Tennessee
being the flagship Of Rear-Admiral Aus.
tin NJ. Knight
They should be ready to sail within
twenty-four hours, and under ordinary
conditions should reach Constantinopie
about Nov. rs IL they proceed with
despatch.
The first disposition of the State De-
partment had been to refrain from send
ing any American warshAps TO the Bos-
phorus for the double reason that their
appearance might be taken as an evil
dence of American anticipation In the
great political questions involved in the
present Balkan war aud Its settlement:
also that so rapid has been the prog
ress of the war that probably the ships
could not reach Constantinople in time
10 be of any service.
Since the Presidents return from
Cincinnati, however. and after a confer
ence with the State Department officials,
the fact was demonstrated that Ameri-
can naval vessels could be employed as
places of refuge for American citizens In
Turkey in case of general anarchy. or
the existence OF conditions of disorder,
beyond the control OF the military COM
manders on both sides. There Is ample
precedent for doing this without laying
the Government open to the charge that
any political purpose Is to be served
or that there Is any intention to inter
veno between the belligerents, even &c
lac extent of participating in an interna'
tonal naval denomination before Con-
stanunople.
The formal explanation of the issue o.
these orders Is as follows:
I'm view OF rumors of possible disturb.
ances in Turkey, the President has or.
dered two ships to proceed to the Medi-
terranean, with a view to relieving any
apprehension that might be felt by
American missionaries and educators
who are in great numbers. especially
at Beirut and smyrna. The American
ambassador at Constantinople Is under
Instructions to confer with his Euro
lean colleagues, whose governments ar,
more Immediately interested. and are
understood to be prepared to take what
measures might be necessary II by any
chance conditions of turbulence affect

RUSSIA KEEPS ARMY
ON WAR FOOTING.

ST. PETERSBURG, Nov. s-The Rus
sian Government has decided to retain
all the time-expired soldiers Of the
Russian army In active service with
their regiments until next spring. This
places the Russian army practically on
a war footing. as the order affects sew
eral hundred thousand men whose places
would in the ordinary course have been
taken by the same number OF recruits
who have just been called up.
1t Is announced that the Government
has taken this step as the best means
OF preventing war and It is thought that
this can only mean that the Govern
ment foresees the possibility of com
plications arising out Of the Balkan
situation. The detention of the time
