Wisconsin legislature, sounded this
warning:
eve are in a state of anxious expect
ancy, state Of sorrow. For time we
are enjoying feverish activity in many
branches of industry. We must take
care that we are not overjoyful and mis-
led-that all of this is real prosperity.
When peace comes some of this activity
will be suddenly cut off with the sharp
ness of a cable dispatch. Peace will
necessarily change the condition of the
old world and the new. In our business
affairs we must prepare for that change
which that peace will bring about"

STRINGENT DIVORCE BILL

The state of Wisconsin has this week
taken the first step in general plan to
make the divorce laws more rigid, by
passing through the lower house the
Whitcomb bill, declaring any marriage
solemnized in adjoining states to avoid
Wisconsin divorce laws illegal in that
state.
Illinois, Michigan, Iowa, and Mime
sofa are expected to pass similar CO.
operative laws.

HANDLES 1900 CASES

The Small Claims Court, established
in Chicago five weeks ago, has to it's
credit eighteen hundred cases settled in
that period of time. The court is oper-
ated under a simplified system of pro-
cedure resting on the consent of the
parties and eliminating the nice points
of the law, to the advantage of sound
common sense.

is GERMANY PROVOKING WAR?

A big question mark is appended at
this time to almost every utterance re-
lative to the serios situation now exist
ing between Germany and this govern
ment as the result of the Lusitania dis
aster.
A thousand rumors are afioat; mo-
tives and designs are attributed to &C
lions which ordinarily are above sus-
picion. No doubt the great bulk of
these scare stories are Pigments of over
heated imaginations; and again, no
doubt, the truth is somewhere about.
An exchange gives the following, en-
titled, els the Kaiser Seeking War with
the United States?"
After calling attention to the fact
that the Washington administration is
more alarmed over the German situation
than at any time since the war started,
according to international bankers who
are close to the sources Of information,
the writer goes on to say:
"In this connection it is of extreme
interest to hear of the reports that have
been brought to New York bankers from
Turkey at the end of April by an Amer
lean who conversed with the German
officers who are directing the defense of
the Dardanelles and of Constantinople.
The American had stated to the German
officer that the United States would un-
der all conditions keep it's fingers out of
the pie.
"Ah" replied the high German officer,
''but we do not intend that you shall stay
out. We shall force you into it. No
matter who wins this war, we will all be
economically exhausted, both victor and
vanquished. If America can keep out,
she will when peace is declared have the
worlds trade in the palm of her hand,
and all the nations of Europe will be too
exhausted to compete against her. That
is the reason America must come in and
will be forced in. We do not fear her as
an opponent. 1t makes little difference
to us now whether there are fifty or a
hundred more war vessels opposed to
us, and it is quite impossible that Amer
lea can get at us with her army, or at
least an army of such size as to be an
important factor.
"But it is important to us that Amer
lea must undergo an industrial and
economic paralysis such as would be
brought about by her entrance into the
war. She cannot equip an army or a
navy soon enough to do Germany any
GREAT amount of harm, but when peace
Is declared, all the nations of the world
must start again after the worlds COM

On April 18th, the lower house of the
