WAR TALK PREVAILS
At CAMP GOOD WILL
Foreign Guests, Representing All Fac
lions Engaged. Chatter in Strange
Tongues but Keep the Peace.
ALL ANXIOUS ABOUT HUSBANDS

The war problems OF Europe are the
cause OF much disturbance among the
foreign guests Of the Associated Chari-
ties at Camp Good VIII in Rock Creek
Park
The new party at the camp contains
numbers OF Greeks, Italians, Russians,
Servians. and Germans, and there is
much excitement among them as to the
probability OF fathers and brothers re-
turning to fight for their native lands.
They chatter and jabber in their
foreign tongues strange sounding things
with occasional reference TO "Ameri-
canos, ItaIIanos, Greekos, Serbs, and
Germanla," the only bits Of intelligence
the interested English speaking COM
panions can gather from the converse
ton. The group is most cosmopolitan,
representing practically all Of the coun-
tries of Europe. but unlike the countries
they represent. peace and brotheriy har-
mony reigns among them, and never in
their discussions do the Serbs step on
the fat toes OF the Russians or the
Italians throw verbal spaghetti into the
faces Of the Germans.

the camp is a Mexican mother. father.

WHAT! MELT ANTIQUES?

What! Melt antiques worth more than

The committee of the National Ameri-

pointed TO collect and melt old gold and
silver contributed by members for the

such articles as have been turned in by a
few women. Mrs. Helen N. Gardner gave
a small silver teaspoon OF a size and pat

contributions was a silver spoon present

little. but it was found that as antiques
they might sell for a tidy sum. So the
committee changed its mind about melt

When it comes to obtaining divorces 1t
must be admitted that Washington wives
have IL on their better halves. This is
shown conclusively by statistics gathered
for The Washington Herald from the
records of the District Supreme Court
Results count in divorce courts as well
as anywhere else. Through the divorce
grind some women get better husbands,
that Is, more money.
Husbands have been known to get
better wives in the same way-wives that
are not so fussy about the dinner hour,
exalting ones foot to the top OF some
chair or table. or sitting UP until morn
ing reading the baseball dope and such
like husbandly diversions. Successful d.
yorce lawyers make no bones Of their
profits of the game So, somebody IL
bound TO reap something good from the
daily divorce grind. Sometimes. matTi-
moniaIly speaking. It Is a case Of leaping
from the frying pan into the fire
Husbands .Beatea TO IT.
Now let's see what the Old Boys book
keepers have TO say about recent results
in the National Capital Standing out
conspicuously Is the great victory wives
have won in the rush for freedom from
drudEery and captivity. In 1913 for ex-
ample, the District Supreme Court grant
ed absolute divorces 10 "a wives, while ex-
tending similar favors to only p husbands
in the same period. In the year there
were only ~ applications from wives.
which gives them a percentage Of ap-
proximately 50. Husbands were success
full in only . out of q cases. giving them
a percentage OF only about 90
Men gladly concede all honors to the
women in the matter of partial divorces.
Husbands here do not seem very keen
for this anything-but-succe species
Of matrimonial dissolution. But II has
been quite a favorite with many wives,
apparently because it makes him come
across with alimOny while cheating him
out OF his desire to make another woman
happy. II he have the hankering.
But with a score Of 10 to In their
favor. wives certainly have the laugh on

that incomplete getaway. Since jan
uary l. 1918. the court has granted 10
wives fifteen limited divorces In the

their petitions, resolved to go back and
try to stick it out.
Nineteen Make Up.
There were lOl applications OF this kind
by wives, so after all their percentage
IS not high. Nineteen decided TO take
hubby back again for better or for
worse and asked the court to discharge
their petitions. In FIVE cases the court
did so despite the wife. There are still
forty-two such cases pending.
In the maintenance suit line the wives
are without competition. When the law
cOmpels the wife to support her husband
then husbands will be able to sue for
At present this is a sport
only for women. Fifty-three such suits
have been filed since January l, 1913, eight
