Should Engagement Be Broken9 Better by Far Than
an Unhappy Marriage Says Society Girl
BY Margaret Hubbard Aver.

n # Me. SEMBRICH has said the
wi American girls marry too
young and too often. And Miss
Katherine haelred, who is as well
known in New York society as she is
on the stage, gives an excellent reason
Tor both the cause and the result of
certain marriages which begin at an
early age and end in the divorce court
AS long as society looks askance
at the engaged couple who have the
courage 10 break off an engagement
OF marriage, just so long win the
young people who have gotten as far
as announcing their engagement which
may only have been sort of lark
feel that they must go on and fulfill
the pledge of the engagement

General Greedy arrived at the same COM

His opinion was based on the prevalence
in the Arctic ocean of large numbers
of enormous flat topped ice bergs which
had been called by Admiral Sir George
Mares, royal navy, paleocrystic icebergs.
General Greedy considered the important
point about the bergs to be that they
often, showed parallel lines OF zee formss-
ton, the result of compressed snowfals
OF several years. Such structural fea-
lures he mad learned are not found or

Captain Appeals For Aid


AT 8 O'Clock Thursday night the cap
tain of the Volturno sent despairing
message which read: For Gods sake help
us or we perish

to the after deck. Eventually the seas
moderated and boats saved 521 persons.

The wireless operator aboard the Car
mania sends the following message:
1.-TWO boats We're lowered from the
Volturno before the Carmania arrived
and 10 passengers were lost. Disern-
barkation commenced before daylight.
The total number lost is 1856, as far as
known"
A wireless message from the captain
of the Devonian, one of the rescung
steamers, said he has 50 survivors aboard,
comprising is men, 20 women and q chill
dren, all well. This Is the same number
previously reported.
A wireless message from the steamer
Seydlitz. forwarded from Bremen, says
she has aboard 40 survivors instead OF
SO, as previously reported. This would
account for the 10 supposed to have been
aboard the Carmania, the latter steamer
having been credited with IL survivors,
whereas she is bringing only one.
Among the first class passengers on the
yolturno there were only two Americans,
John KrlIg and Frieda Krug.

Currency Main Topic
Congress has little to occupy 1t now ex-
cept currency. An agreement has been
made to consider the ''seamen's servi-

to 90 with vote on the latter day. With
no other pressing business before either
House, a quorum probably will be lack

can summon members enough at any

During this week the President Will
have before him the urgent deficiency bill

service. 1t is believed the President will
sign the measure on the ground that he
is empowered by executive order at any
