NEW YORK, Jan. 23.-'I believe
every girl should be trained to some
occupation which if followed will
make her independent of marriage as
a means of support"
This is one of the sentiments ex-
pressed here by former President
William Howard Taft. He did not at
tempt to solve the marriage and di-
vorce problem" but he gave some in
teresting views:
"A life of single blessedness is GER
tain1y preferable to an unhappy mar
riage. If a girl is trained to some oc-
cupation, in which she can support
herself without hardship, then she
need not marry except in obedience to

AssAlL OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES.

LONDON, Jan. 23.--The Globe in an
editorial in today's issue, intimates
that the issue raised by the transfer
of the steamer Dacia to the American
flag is the desire of COMMUNICATIONS
in the United States to embroil that
country in the European strife.
'It is perhaps no business of ours, "
says the Globe. "but the existence in
the United States Of a body of citi-
zens with divided allegiance, who do
not scruple to embroil the nation, Is a
matter to which real Americans will
do we'll to attend"
The Westminster Gazette says: eve
may fairly claim that our attitude is
a judicial blend of firmness and con-
ciliation. We can not allow ourselves
to be deprived Of the legitimate ad-
vantage of the exercise of our sea
power. We are anxious to avoid even
the appearance or any unwillingness
to injure American traders who are
selling. as they have a right to do,
non-contraband cotton. If the Dacia
sails and is captured the point to be
determined is the legitimacy of her
transfer from German to American
ownership"

FEAR ANOTHER RAID.

LONDON, Jan. 23.-In the belief
that the airship which flew over
Cromer last night was German
hydro-aeroplane sent on scouting
mission from warship in the North
Sea near the English coast, the Ad-
mirality today ordered closer patrol
of the sea north Of Dover.
While official confirmation was
withheld of reports that the airship
sighted over Cromer was a German
craft, and an attempt was made to
show that residents of the town were
"spoofing," nevertheless the belief
persisted that the Germans were pre-
paring for another aerial raid.

Hostile aviator dropped bombs Friday
upon the cities of Client and Zee

statement issued here this afternoon.
The aerial attack was unsuccessful,
the statement says. Discussing the
military operations in the western
theatre of war, it says:
"The enemy attacked us between
Souain and Perthes, north Of Chalons,
but our artillery fire broke up the at
tack. In the Argonne forest, we cap
tured a position of the enemy taking
also three officers, 245 men and some
machine guns"

RENEW FLANDERS FIGHT.
PARIS, Jan. 23.-The fighting in the
new battle of Flanders has become so
fierce that a gain Of even few yards
by the allied forces is regarded as i'm
portant. A statement by the French
war office this afternoon emphasizes
the fact that gain of 100 yards has
been made in the region of Lombart-
zyde. At most points on the front, the
infantry forces were compelled to
abandon fighting to repair damages
done by the storm of recent days.
In an attempt to establish their
positions firmly on the north bank of
the Aisne, the Germans have opened
an offensive AGAINST the town of Berry
.au-Bac and the French statement says
that it has been violently bombarded
by the Kaiser's troops.

DECATUR LINE SOLD
TO BANKING FIRMS:
EXTENSION DROPPED

The sale OF the Fort Wayne and
Springfield traction line. which runs
from Fort Wayne to Decatur, will have
little bearing on any prospects Rich
mond may have on inducing the line
to make extensions to this city. The
traction line was sold yesterday to
Charles Worden. representing several
banking institutions Of Fort Wayne
and Decatur.
1t Is understood that the road, which
was bought for $4,000. will undoubt.
eddy be re-sold and will probably be
bought back by the stockholders. When
the road was offered for sale a week
ago, Mr.. Worden's high bid was $64.-
900. At that time several prospective
bidders asked for a few days, promis-
ing to bid. None of the bidders who
crIsed the delay were in evidence at
the sale yesterday. The only other bid
was that of a junking firm of Cincin-
natl. which bid $4,000.
Several weeks ago 1t was reported
in Fort Wayne that several eastern
capitalists were expected to buy the
road. Under the terms OF the actual
sale, however. the prospect OF Rich
mond securing a branch OF the trac-
ton line, seems remote.

ing Of the committee today 1t was

posal Of the rating bureau At present

WILMINGTON, Del, Dec. MANY
hours Of investigation of the explosion
that killed thirty-one men at the Du-
pont Powder plant yesterday after
noon has failed to develop any evil
dence that the disaster was caused by
an outside agency.
The actual cause will probably new
err be known as all the men who were
in the packing house were killed when
the building was destroyed. During the
night, carpenters erected high fence
around the spot where the destroyed
packing house was located. This was
done to prevent interference with the
work of searching for the bodies and
also to prevent the removal of any evil
dence.
