BRITAIN NOT TO ADOPT
GENERAL CONFUSION
Majority of Cabinet Opposes Fore.
ing Married Men Into
the Army.

LONDON, April 15.-It is understood
that the British cabinet has virtually
decided that there shall be no general
compulsion on the lines of equal sac
ritce for all" The final decision of the
cabinet in this matter has been de-
ferred until Monday, but ii is stated
that a majority of the ministers are
against CONSUMPTION of married men.
The special committee on recruiting
which investigated the question for the
cabinet thoroughly studied the ques-
ton of numbers obtainable by means
of the military service act and the Lord
Derby recruiting system and decided
that general compulsion was not neces-
sary.
1t is understood the deficiency in the
yield of men for the army as compared
with the estimated requirements will
be met as follows:
FirSt-Compulsion for all youths as
they reach the age of eighteen. al
though these men will not be liable for
service abroad until they are nineteen.
Second-More single men to be draft
ed from the reserved trades to the
army.
Third-Time expired soldiers to be
retained.
1t Is claimed that by these means far
more men Will be obta inab than by
conscripting all married men of mill
tary age.

MONEY TIED UP. HE SAYS.
Jerry Jones Sues His Wife and the
Bank of Deposit.

Three years ago Jerry Jones compro-
missed a claim for personal injury
against a local railroad company and
received S700 in cash. Al the solicita-
ton of his wife. Elizab beth Jones, he
says in a suit filed in the District Su-
preme Court, he deposited the money
in a financial institution in his wife,
name. without intending to give her
any interest in the fund.
He secured SIG, he declares, without
his wife'S signature, but now states
that the bank requires her name to "A
withdrawal order.
Through Attorney Octave Bigoness
the husband says his wife declines to
let him draw the money and has Sc
GREETED the passbook. He seeks the
aid of the court to compel the wife TO
surrender the passbook and to re-
quire the bank to honor his order for
the money, in which, he asserts, his
wife has no interest.

More General Than Last Year.

Reports from every section of the
District indicate that the work of re-
decorating and refurbishinc dwellings
and other buildings and decking them
out in bright, clean, handsome, new
spring coats of fresh paint is to be
more general even than it was u year
ago. People have learned that prop
erly painted house is house that is
worth many dollars more than one
from which the paint is peellng and
which presents generally rup -down
appearance. Property owners over
the city and its Immediate environs
are preparing to help along the clean
up-paint-up campaign by doing their
Bit in the matter of having new paint
spread on the buildings they own or
occupy.
Scores of these local phases of the

morning. and already complaints have
been made of the shortage of help this
spring. several prospective partici-
pants in the campaign having reported
that they are finding trouble in get
ting capable men to do the work.

TO MRS. AUFRECH7

Mrs. Anna Aufrecht is entitled to a
divorce from Fred Aufrecht on the
grounds of cruel and inhuman treat
ment, according to a decision of
Judge Stevens in the circuit court at
Madison.
Mr.. and Mrs. Aufrecht were mar
ried May 81, 1910, and the court
found that the defendant is guilty Of
a course of cruel and inhuman treat
ment, that he swore at her, laid his
hands upon her in anger, threw her
against door and struck her upon
the head Judge Stevens also found
that Mrs. Aufrecht is of a jealous dis
position and that her mind had at
times been affected, but that she
has neved said or done anything that
would constitute cruel and inhuman
treatment or that in any way justifie
his treatment of her.

away.
He reached the home of his parents
in the third ward, Baraboo, about s
O'Clock this morning. Attendant We'll
Ter of the county farm and a compan-
ion from the same institution came to
Baraboo in an automobile, but by the
time they reached here Ritzenthaler
was gone. Poor Commissioner H. e.
Stone accompanied the two from the
county institution to the Ritzenthaler
home, where a thorough search was
made. s4
It is presumed the patient left Bar
aboo on the $50 train.
Ritzenthaler has escaped before and
has an unusual record along this line.
Once when he got away he went to
northern Illinois where he was arrest
ed on the charge of getting into
homes and was later brought back.
The parents reside on Blake street.
