LONDON HOLDS SERVICE
 FOR EXECUTED NURSE
Many Wounded Soldiers Alt tend Ceremony at St.
 Paul's Cathedral.

London, Oct. 29, 11:30 a. m.-A ser vice at St. Paul's Cathedral today in memory of Miss Edith Cavell, the British nurse who was executed in Brussels, was attended by a throng which recalled the funeral of Lord Roberts at the cathedral almost d year ago.
 Before so,cloek a great crowd stood shivering in the first cold fog of the season, awaiting the opening of the doors. Shortly after 1 o'clock signs bearing the words Church full'' were hung at all the doors except the one reserved for late holders.
 Conspicuous among the crowd which waited until the doors were opened were many wounded soldiers, attended by Red Cross nurses. The sombre clothing of the congregation which packed the great edifice was relieved here and there by spots of color of the uniforms of soldiers and silors, when military and naval dig nitaries took their places. The only other seats reserved were for tho Lord Mayor, the diplomatic corps of the entente allies and six hundred of Miss Cavell's fellow nurses.
 The service was begun with the Dead March" played on the organ. Then came Abide With Me- by the First Life Guards Band. Except for the Lords Prayer and the reading of one lesson, the service was entirely musical. no sermon being delivered.

Ready for Third Battle,

Douglas, Ariz., Oct. 29.-Prepara- tions were completed today for the third battle at Auga Prieta, Sonora, since Madero opened the war in Mexico five years ago. In these battles shots fired on the Mexican side killed five persons in Douglas and wounded twenty.
 Five thousand American troops, with sixteen 3-inch guns, are mobilized here to see that the Mexicans shoot on only their own side of the boun- dary. Carranza troops lie behind an elaborate system of earthworks await ing the approach of the Villa army.
 Villistas to Begin Battle.
 The beginning of the battle depends upon the Villistas, and the outcome probably will determine whether Sonora will come under sway of Villa CT whether he will be driven as a fugitive across the American border
 At last reports Villas forces were scattered from fifteen to twenty five miles south of Agua Prieta, in a region where little water is available, while Carranza troops under General Diguez, were reported to be working in hehind them.
 Garrison Numbers 3,7OO.
 The Carranza garrison at Agua Prieta numbers hardly more than 3,7OO effective men and the reinforce ments that General Gales expected to come from Piedras Negras, over American territory, with sixteen can non and twenty-four machine guns, cannot reach here for two or three days.
 This was the word brought by General Benjamin Hill of Carranza' S army, who made it known that he in tends to become one of the interested non-combatants on the American side of the boundary. If Villa wins he probably will remain a more or less important factor in the Mexican situa- tion-at least in Sonora
 Villa Has Large Army.
 Villa is reliably reported to have twenty-eight field guns, some as large as four-inch pieces, though these are believed to be hardly more that fifty per cent. efficient. His army is esti- mated at from 5000 to 12,OOO men. The Carranza equipment, without the sixteen cannon accompanying the de- layed Piedras Negras contingent, con- slsts of six three-inch American ma de | guns and thirty machine guns 1 on the American side there are approximately 5000 United States l soldiers, with four batteries of artil- lery, or sixteen guns. Two batteries arrived early today from Nogales and approximately 1000 more men will arrive from Fort Bliss tomorrow or Sunday

JOY RIDING BREAKS UP HOME.
New Britain Machinist Gets Divorce
 From His Wife.

His wife's enthusiasm about "joy riding with an unknown chauffeur, was given as the reason for the rup- ture that prompted him to seek a di- vorce by Charles F. Goodell of 5S Winthrop street, this city, in superior court this afternoon. He was granted a divorce from Bertha L. Goodell.
 The plaintiff said he and his wife were married in New Hampshire in July, 1906, and lived in New Britain for five years. Mrs. Goodell, he said, had a chauffeur friend with whom she went "joy riding.'' He discov- cred her liking for the chauffeur and asked her to remain at home. This she refused to do, he claimed. She became angry, packed up her worldly possessions and threateend to leave home. He asked her to think it over for a week and this she consented to do. But in a few days she became restless, removed her clothes and went away. Snice then he has seen her but once. He met her on a street in Hartford and asked her to come back again, but she informed him she was satisfied with life. At the time of his discovery of her "joy riding the couple were living at 90 Maple street. He is a machinist employed by the New Britain Machine company.
 Goodell was granted a divorce on the ground of desertion. He was rep resented by Attorney P. F. McDon- ough.

UNDERWOOD FAVORS
 REASONABLE DEFENSE
Scnator-elect From Alabama Awaits Experts Conclusions Before Express
 sing His Views on Subject.

Washington, Oct. 29.-Oscar W. Underwood, senator-elect from Ala bama, who is here for the opening of congress, said today in discussing the question of national defense that he would wait until the army and navy experts themselves had reached their conclusions and presented them to congress before expressing his views on the subject.
 The new senator declared that ne favored a reasonable national dc fenSe, but said: 'I am approaching the subject in such way that I will be able to take the opinions of the experts largely into consideration in shaping a final opinion" He added that congress would now be in a bet ter position in dealing with the sub ject to profit by lessons from the Flu ropean war.
 MT. Underwood, who, as chairman of the house ways and means commit tee, framed the tariff law which there is talk of revising to meet revenue re- quirements, declined to discuss the proposal. He said that it would be manifestly cut of place for him to do so inasmuch as he was leader in the house when the law was enacted and is not now a member of that body.
 MT. Underwood will pay his re- spects to President Wilson in a few days and probably also will discuss the prospective legislative program
