There might well be division of juris-
dlction in divorce on the basis of the ALI
mony involved. A study Of the statistics
of the domestic relations division shows
that comparatively few families whose
weekly revenue exceeds S25 are involved
in desertion and nonsupport cases. The
reason perhaps, is that wives and hus-

Estimated at $4,000.

Providence, R. l., March A fire
of uncertain origin accompanied by a
small explosion, caused damage of
$4,000 in the office of the Providence
Journal.
A statement given out by the Jour
nal said the explosion, which occur
red few minutes after the fire start
ed, filled the room with flames.
1.-THE room in which the fire origi-
mated had been unoccupied for two
hours" says the statement and
there were no electric wires that could
possibly have started the blaze. When
the automatic sprinklers began to OPP
crate, the water seemed to add to the
intensity of the f1ames."
After an investigation the police
department arrived at the conclusion
that the fire could not have been of
accidental origin.

close of impassioned remarks in de-

tain senators and certain members of
the House in a conference with the
President of the United States, re-
ceived from the President the informa-

many insisted on her position, the Uni

ton. and it would result probably in
breach of diplomatic relations and
that breach of diplomatic relations
probably would be followed by state
of war. and that a state of war might
not be of itself and of necessity an
evil to this republic, but that the Unit

Morgenthau. I'm this country we take
active steps to prevent yellow fever
and other infectious diseases from
spreading. We keep them out, but this
war fever that is travelling now in
Europe is one thing that we are in
danger of being infected with. We
ought to do the same with respect to
that, fever as we have done against
other infectious diseases. :. We ought
to inoculate ourselves with the serum
