WOMAN VS.. MAN.

Chicagos retiring lady commission
erof public welfare losses out the con-
clusion that men who marry after
reaching "a years of age are less apt
to seek divorce than are men who
marry between the ages of 21 and 33.
This is obviously reasonable because
of the giddiness of youth. If, how
ever, the divorces in this country were
limited to those sought by and grant
ed to men, the number would be frac-
tional in comparison with what it
now is Woman, lovely woman, is
the chief offender in the pursuit of
divorce. The general all around orneri-
ness of men may be responsible for
this fact. But it is also probably true
that the average man will submit to
more of the worse" stuff, as per the
matrimonial contract, than the aver
age woman will before seeking relief
in the divorce courts

Tariff Reduction Extends to All
Favored Nations.

Washington, May 26.-The clause of
the Underwood-Simm tariff act
granting rebate of five per cent on
duties on goods imported to the United
States in American bottoms was up
held today by the court of custom APP
peals
The court held, however, that all
merchandise imported in the vessels of
nations with which the United States
has so-called favored nations treaties
must receive a similar discount.
The case probably will be appealed
to the supreme court
AS the United States has favored
nations treaties with nearly all impor-
tant commercial powers, the effect of
the decision will be largely to reduce
tariff revenues.

Skinner Advises Washington.
Washington, May 26.--Consul Gen
eral Skinner at London cabled today:
1.-The British admiralty reports the
American steamer Nebraskan torpe-
doed."
He gave the same location as men
toned in the London dispatches. and
added that he had received no direct
reports.
Struck a Mine?
Washington. May 26.-Coming close
on the Lusitania disaster, the news
that another American ship, the Ne
braskan, had been endangered aroused
more than ordinary attention. but all
officials were disposed to hear details
before making comment.
Some officials could not understand
why a ship bound for the United
States in ballast and, therefore. carry
ing no contraband, should have been
endangered by a torpedo and they
considered it among the possibilities
that the Nebraskan struck a drifting
mine.
Captain in Doubt.
New York, May 25.-The American
Hawaiian Steamship company, own
crs of the Nebraskan, received a wire
less message from the Neb-askan's
captain, relayed by cable, in which the
captain said the vessel had been
struck by either a mine or a torpedo
and that he was proceeding with a

New York, May 26.- Mrs Char
lotte O'Neill, wife of Francis O'Neill,
an architectural engineer employed by
the Brooklyn Rapid Transit company,

Germanic Strength Not Waned.

North of ArrOS.
Death of King of Greece May
Cut Leash of Hellenes.

London, May 26.-The approval of
King George has made the coalition
government as announced this morn
ing, accomplished fact and it is
generally accepted as the best solution
of a bad muddle. Nevertheless, the
country shows no great enthusiasm
over the compromise for the usual
party cabinet.
In the field of military operations,
the great onslaught of General Won
Mackenzen against the Russian line
to the north OF Permysl and around
Jaroslau indicated the powers of the
Austro- German offensive are not ex-
hausted and verifies the belief general
in London that the Russians are not
well equipped for the defense of this
position.
PcrmysI Fortified Camp.
Permysl has not been sufficiently
repaired to rank again as a fortress.
1t is rather, a heavily fortified camp,
which needs considerable artillery for
it's reduction.
In the Dardanelles the allies are
ofhcially reported to be slowly adj
vancing against the stubborn opposi-
ton of the Turks who have been
granted an armistice to bury 5000 of
their dead in front of their trenches.
Along the western line of battle the
Germans hold trench east of Ypres
which they captured Monday morning
from the British and held against
counter attacks during the day.
Yesterday the French offensive
north of Arras developed new vigor,
with the result that a number of Ger
man positions were captured. This
French advance, like the German
move against the British. is not of
wide extent.
Italy Forces Warfare.
The official Italian announcement
reviewing the first thirty-six hours of
war claims the capture of several
Austrian towns just across the border
and the occupancy of all frontier
passes in Galore together with a con-
tlnuation of the successful advance on
the Carniola and the Friuli frontiers.
Vienna counters with the claim that
the Austrian naval raid inflicted con-
siderable damage on the Italian coast
and on Italian war craft.
= The illness of King Constantine OF
Greece is the feature of the diplo-
matte situation in the near east The
death of this ruler, it is argued here,
would end Greece's chief reason for
maintaining neutrality.

Was there ever such sublime con-
fidence in ones might as that being
displayed by Germany? She accepts
the gauge of battle that Italy has
hurled at Austria with the utmost
equanimity. A trifling matter of some
100000 of her soldiers is all she thinks
will be needed to assist the Austrians
in handling the Italian army; and this,
Notwithstanding the fact that the
first and second line troops of Italy
comprise no less than two million
men, who are said to be as well
equipped and trained as any army in
Europe.

Italy's queen, beautiful, of course
all distinguished women are so de-
scribed by the chivalrous newspaper
reporters-is credited with having in
fIuenced her country to participate in
