er Mann tonight prevented the
Democrats from passing the ad-
ministration shipping bill be-
fore adjournment.
Debate closed at 4 o'clock
this afternoon; three hours
later it was ready for passage
virtually as reported by the
committee.
Representative Mann de-
manded teller votes on many of
the hundred or more amend
ments offered by Republicans.
When a final vote on the
measure was was about to be taken
he insisted that the formality Of
reading the engrcssed bill be
observed. AS the bill had not
been engrossed there was moth
ing to do but adjourn. The vote
probably will be reached early
tomorrow afternoon.
Early in the day, while the
House was in the committee of
the whole, the Republicans sue
ceeded in striking out the sec
ton providing for the purchase
of ships by the government but
this was restored by the House
itself.

Atlantic CITY. y. j., MAY 10
The Presbyterians of the United
States to-day launched - nation
wide campaig against divorce.
Every agency vt the church will
be employed in the fight in pur-
suancc OF the recommendations
made In the report of the com
mittee ut the General Assembly
here.
Synods were virtually ordered to
seek better legisla ION with more rigid
and uniform laws and also were re-
quested to take up the matter of inn
proved codes pertaining 20 marriage
and divorce. The ministers will
preach sermons regularly on the
sanctity of the marriage VOWS and
sinulta neously start the movement in
their respective communities
Although discussed seriously for
years the action today was the first
definite step the church has ever taken
on the divorce question. The bitter
arrangement contained in the special
report today gave no room for daily
ing On the all-important proposition
confronting the delegates and prompt
response was given. The growing dis
reard for the sacred ceremonw was
labelled as great menace as intern
perance. An average of one divorce in
twelve marriages vas found in 1918.
The figure bore striking contrast to
the percentage of ne in IL thousand
only sixty years ago.
