MANY Get Divorces

Shanghai, Sept. 21.-American citi-
zens residing in China may now OBJ
tain divorces there. The necessity of
citizens of the United States residing
in China taking a 10000 mile trip to
state court in order to institute di-
vorce proceedings has been obviated
by what is considered one of the most
important decisions handed down in
the United States court for China
The decision, made recently here
by Judge Charles S. Lobingier in the
case of Tahaim Hashimoto Cavanagh
VS.. S. d. Worden overrules that of
the former Judge who had declared
the court-which RANKS as a United
States district court-lacked jurisdic-
tion. The new judge granted a de-
cree of divorce to the plaintiff, the
first since the founding of the court.
He based his decision upon the case
of Biddre VS.. the United States, Oc-
tober 2S, 1907, which held that the
United States court ror China could
go to legislation which congress had
enacted for Alaska and the District
of Columbia and assume the same jur-
isdiction as granted by congress to
courts in these territories.

WHERE AMERICAN FLAG
never HAS Been seen
LITTLE CHINESE SHIPS CARRY
STARS AND STRIPES UP IN
LAND RIVER

Shanghai, Sept. 21.-Destined for
one of the most interesting expedi-
tions taken by vessels of the Amerl-
can navy, the two little sister gun
boats, Palos and Monocacy, commits
stoned on June 25 at Shanghai, left
here recently and are now at Han
kow, 600 miles up the Yangtsze river. !
This fall, after performing patrol duty
on the lower Yangtsze, they will start
upon a trip which will take them
above Chunking almost 1000 miles upI
China's great river and almost to the
borders of Thibet, where the Ameri-
can flag flying over an American ship
has never been seen before. The trip
will be taken at middle water when
the iutting rocks of the dangerous
Yangtsze gorges have been submerged
and before the river swollen by the
rains has developed ITS great whirl-
pools and eddies which add great
risks to navigation.
The gunboats-alike as two peas
are the first of the type built for the
United States government. They have
1870 tons designated displacement and
a designed draft of two feet five
inches. They make Is knots an hour
and with their four rudders answer
their helm with remarkable alacrity.
The ships were completely built at
the government navy yard at Mare
Island, California, Knocked down
and erected in Shanghai. There are
odd economies, such as the shower
bath on the forward deck and the
cupboard under the stars and stripes
astern, but the whole adaptation is
for difficult river work and for de
fense. Numerous rifle loop holes peer
from the armored cabins on deck ant
the heavy" armament consists o.
two 6pounders, one fore and the
other aft. A set of long bamboo poles
is a unique part of the defensive
equipment Their intended use is the
repelling of pirates, who have a wa!
of drifting down upon Il ship in thef
unweildy junIs and swarming owe
the sides upon the surprised crew
The ships carry crews of so men. Il
command of the Monocacy is Lieu
tenant A. F. Carter, and of the Palo
Lieutenant Rohershef. 1t is the in
tention of the officers to gather hy
geographic and topographic data ol
their trip up the Yangtsze.

Special War Mourning

London, Sept 21.-The proposition
of instituting distinctive form of
mourning to be worn by the relatives
of British soldiers and sailors killed
in the war has attracted much atten-
ton. Several titled ladies have in
terested themselves in the subject,
but the form which the mourning
should take is still undecided.
A Red Cross worker writing TO
queen Mary's Needlework guild sug-
gested that all towns and villages Or
ganize local committees of women to
gather black clothing, used, but in
good condition, to be distributed
among poor mourners who lose rela-
tives in their country's service. To
dispense with mourning at this time,
the writer said, in answer to another
proposal, would be to entail further
hardships upon the poor. 'The aver
age rich person. she said hasn't
the slightest idea of the enormous
Importance that working women at
taeh to mourning. They will even
starve themselves and their children
to obtain money for its purchase. To
urge them to dispense with mourning
at such a time as this would add a
sting to the horrors of DEATH" She
suggested that mourning supply COM
mites furnish men and children rela-
tives with a black band bearing a
miniature Union Jack.
