AMERICA SITS ON LID OF VOLCANO OF HATRED WASHINGTON NATIONAL GUARD MAN WRITES WARNING LET
 TER FROM ENGLAND.
Seattle Times.)

| (SeatLl6 I1meS.J
 That the people of the United States are going blindly to destruction if the wishes of the "peace-at-any-pricers are followed out, and that Great Brit aims organizers - the duplicates of which in America are opposing pre- paredness-are doing the greatest pos sible amount of good. is the assertion of James H. Wingfield, a former mem Der of Company A, Second Regiment N. G. w.. now in England. ssg | In writing to the Times he gives the following remarkable warning of the attitude of the other nations of the world toward the United States: Permit me to congratulate your paper on it's long and constant cam paign for national preparedness. I'd give half the remaining years of my life if the Americans-my people could travel about during these times and see the volcano of hatred and con tempt they are sitting on.
 "The United States today is a na- tion without an ally. My friends, you should see as am seeing the colossal cost, suffering. waste and injustice that is the price of Belgiums unpre. paredness.
 "Only by being in the war zone as 1 have been, seeing and feeling, can one appreciate the grand part the women and the Young Mems Chris tian Association of England are play ing. And their wonderful determine. tion to carry this thing through to victorious end. Never a suggestion of peace have I heard. much less one of ignoble peace so many of the peo- pie and semi-religious organizations of the United States are demanding. Unlike the English, similar American organizations oppose preparedness" Describing some of his experiences since reaching London, Wingfield, who is now an inspector of Royal En- gineer Stores at Woolwich, Kent, gives an entertaining word picture of recent Zeppelin raid as follows:
 Was in 'Zep' raid recently. The dozens of searchlights had her dead and though very high she shone like furnished silver in their binding glare. Numberless antiaircraft guns filled the heavens with burstnig shells as she dodged about blindly, seeking friendly cloud. AS she passed be- yond range of one set of guns and lights, others picked her up and the skyline was one blaze of light from | searchlight beams and bursting shells | The noise was terrific and the chrap- nel burst like flashing clusters of stars. But Old Nick takes care of his own, and brought them a cloud to hide beyond after having injured one man, killed one horse, burning one 1 henhouse and roasting poor biddy" 4--

MRS. E. C. SANTMYER CITED
ON HER HUSBANDS PLEA
Rule Issued by Court in Suit for In
junction Against Alleged
Annoyances.

Justice Anderson of the District Su-
preme Court has issued a rule on Eva
c. Santmyer to show cause Friday why
she should not be enjoined from annoy
ing her husband, Edward l.. Santmyer.
by filing a number of suits in the
Municipal Court to recover quarterly
payments of alimony.
The courts order is based on a suit
for injunction filed by the husband,
through Attorneys c. c. Miller and S. F..
Taliaferro, in which he claims he was
granted an absolute divorce in Nir-
ginia last August: that in March. 1912,
they separated and entered into an
agreement for maintenance, and later
his divorce application was granted
and, he states. his wife's request for
alimony was denied.
The wife attempted to recover under
the separation contract since the grant
ing of the divorce by proceeding in
the Municipal Court and was awarded
judgment for S45 January II, 1916.
from which an appeal taken by him is
now pending in the District Supreme
Court. He declares his wife has threat
ened to bring similar proceedings
against him each three months as the
quarterly installments under the old
separation agreement mature. He
claims he is no longer required to
support his wife and that the agree
ment is now null and void.
