Kaiser Will be Given Chance
to Tell Teuton Side Of
Torpedo Attack.
WAITING FOR DETAILS
German E m b ass y Says
Warning Given to Yes
sci Was Not Needed.
lRy Associated Press. ]

WASHINGTON. Aug. 21.-It way
announced at the State Department
today that Ambassador Gerard prob
ably will be directed TO call the Ger-
man governments attention 70 the
sinking of the White Star liner Ana.
bic and TO invite an explanation. "
The State Departments attitude is
that if the German government has
any facts which in its opinion go 70
mitigate the circumstances Of the at
tack. such as an attempt to escape, ?or
an attempt to resist or attack the sub
marines. the Berlin foreign Office
should have opportunity to present
them.
Today's announcement moreover
indicates that before President Wiz
son takes action there may be some
exchange Of diplomatic comm municaT
ton.
Secretary Lansing said he could do
no more now than had been done and
was continuing to await fnformation
necessary to determine the goyern-
ments course. Also 1t has been re-
ported that the German embassy bad
evidence that Captain Finch Of tle
Arabic had been warned and ntler1qi
ed 10 escape before the torpedo 9ts
discharged. It was said at the state
Department that no Information ol
that kind had been received from ne
German embassy or any other oliicial
quarters.

WRECKS;
TRAFFIC TIED UP
Two B. & 0. Cars Roll Over
30 Foot Embankment
Near Warrington.

Two freight cars loaded with lum'
Der and lime rolled over 30-foot EN-
bankment into Buffalo creek and five
cars were derailed in wreck on the
Baltimore & Ohio Railroad one mile
east OF Warrington shortly before
noon today. A broken truck or defec'
tive rails are given as probable causes
of the accident.
AS a result OF the wreck east-bound
passenger train No. - and weGt.bound
passenger train No. 3. were held up
for several hours. The two cars
which rolled into the creek were
broken up so badly as to be almost a
total loss. The cargo OF lime with
which one OF the wrecked cars was
loaded. will be total loss, 1t Is be-
lieved on account OF the action OF the
water. The damage to the lumber.
with which the other wrecked car was
loaded. will be considerable.
The train was running at moder.
ate rate of speed when the crew was
alarmed by crash. The cars left the
rails and bumped along on the ties
for short distance, two of them top
pling over before the engineer could
bring the train to stop. Members
of the crew narrowly escaped injury
or death. The engine was not de-
rallied. A wreck train was hurried to
the scene Of the accident and the work
OF clearing the tracks was started
promptly.

Suffrage and Divorce---Oth Matters
BY Miss Anna Morreu.

One of the most frequent Rr4u-
ments against suffrage is that there
are enough topics OF dlSSentlon Wnlcn
come into the home and help to NIL
the docket Of the divorce court VIII
out introducing politics and political
discussions as another wedge with
which to split domestic tranquility.
AS the only way That arguments
of this nature can be retuted Is Dy
showing that the places when nave
woman suffrage snow the contrary
conditions, We quote part OF an ar
ticle recently prepared by the editor
of the Woman's journal:
Broadly speaking, it is true that
the far Western States have larger
proportion OF divorce than New Eng
land: but that was the case long be-
fore the women of the Western
States were given the vote. To prove
that equal suffrage increases divorce
It must be shown that, since the
granting of votes to women, divorce
has been increasing faster in the suff-
rage states than in the non-sufrage
states. Just the opposite IS the case.
In making the computation, the
growth of population must or course
be taken into account. II state
doubles its population during twenty
years, and also doubles IFS number
Of divorces, its proportions OF do
nestle unhappiness remains the
same.
According to the special report On
marriage and divorce issued by the
United States Census Bureau, cover
ing the years from 1867 to 1916
(the latest figures available), during
the ten years 1880 to 1900, the i'll
creases Of divorces per 100000 OF
the population in the United States
az q whole was 37.7 per cent, While
in Wyoming, Colorado, Utah and
Idaho-the only States that mad
equal suffrage at that time-lt av-
eraged only 1874 per cent. In Colo
RADIO there was an actual decrease
Of 24.7 per cent.
In Maine, during the same period,
the NUMBER OF divorces per l0O,OO
of the population increased 32.9 pei
cent: in New YORK, 3o.2 per cent,
in Ohio, 42.1 per cent; in Michigan,
44.4 per cent; in South Dakota, 4o.i
per cent; in Missouri, 46.4;' in Mas
sachusetts, 46.S; in Texas, 59.6, and
in North -akota, S7.2. ],
Because the Western States have
more divorce than the East they have
been termed By some anti-su1fragists
as radical and unstable" On the
same principal, New England would
have to be set down as radical ana
unstable compared with the South,
which has much fewer divorces,
and all the other Southern States as
radical and unstable compared with
South Carolina, which has no d.
vorces at all.
Divorce is not the only factor to
be taken into consideration when es-
timating the merits and dement's OF
States. The suffrage States have
smaller per cent of illiteracy than the
average, a smaller per cent OF chile
