RATHER THAN LOSE DOG
SHE KEEPS HUSBAND
Ard He? Oh, He Sues Her for
Not Signing Separation Deeds.

Mrs. Mary c. Cook, Of Babylon, L. l.,
was willing and eager TO part with one
husband, one pie knife, one cheese
scoop, twelve teaspoons, and other sim
liar articles named in her tentative
separation agreement, but when to this
list Of valuables was added the name
of Little Miss Midget" her dog, she
baked right there.
Rather than give up her pet, she
is determined to remain Mr.. Cooks
legal wife. Her spouse, on the other
hand, became wrathful yesterday when
she failed TO appear at her lawyers to
sign the separation deeds, and brought
suit against his wife demanding $4,000
damages. .,
For the sake Of Little Miss Midget
Mrs. Cook scorned the house and two
lots at Babylon, the automobile, the
fire insurance policies, and all the brio
s-hrac, pictures and furnishings re-
linouished conditionally TO her by her
husband she still refuses TO sign
the agreement which will take the dog
from her.

HARDEN ASKS PEACE,
CALLS WAR "MISTAkE"
Famous German Editor Declares
All Are to Blame.
lBy Cable 10 Tho Tribune ]

London. April "a remarkable ar
ticlc by Maximlian Harden, appealing
for an immediate peace, appears in
"Die Zukunft," according to an Amster-
dam dispatch to "The Daily Express"
1t is especially interesting as it has
been passed for publication by the
Berlin military censors. Harden writes:
"In spite of almost uncountable vic
tories, in spite of the fact that our
land is free from the enemies armies
and that we occupy conquered area
about as large as the United Kingdom,
we think the war is cruel misfor-
tune, the recurrence of which must be
prevented by all possible means. Let
US come TO the conclusion that the war
WAS a mistake. made not by one but
By all. Let us end it and organize
peace"

MILITIA CALLED OUT
IN HAVERHILL RIOT
Semi-Religious Meeting Pre-
vented by Great Crowd.

Haverhill, Mass, April 3.-The local
company of the state militia was called
on tonight by Mayor Albert L. Bartlett
TO assist the police IN controlling o,OOO
persons in riotous demonstration
near the City Hall. Many windows in
the building were broken by missiles.
The crowd gathered as result OF ar
attempt to hold meeting IN the nall
for the discussion of state aid for sec
tartan schools. The meeting was re-
garded as anti-Catholic.
Thomas f.. Leyden, of Somerville'
who was announced as an eX-Roman
Catholic priest, had been advertised as
the speaker. When the hour for the
meeting arrived the crowd in front OF
the hall was so dense that the police
decided the meeting could not be held'
and the doors of the building were
closed.
Finding the police powcrless TO con
troll the situation, the Mayor, a<out II
o'clock, called out the militia. The
sounding of the signal on the fire alarm
brought more thousands Of citizens,
curious ms TO what action the militia
would take.

themselves locked in, and the telephose
wire was out of order.
The house of DR.. Herbert Wales,
about two miles from City Hall, was
visited by a section of the crowd and
the rioters broke the windows of his
home. DR.. Wales was interested IN
Leyden's coming here. The residence
of the Rev. Franklin Babb, another OF
the promoters of the meeting, was
treated in similar fashion. Part OF
the crowd went to the home of Alder.

Public Safety, and made demonstra-
tion there.

HOLLAND FEARS
FOR NEUTRALITY
Doubles Border Guard
Lest Allies Drive Ger
mans Onto Her Soil.
lBT C,lis 70 The Tribune !

London, April 3.-"The Daily Express
I correspondent sends the following:
From most trustworthy source
hear that the Dutch government has
been informed by its ministers abroad
of the possibility of the Franco-British
( troops breaking the German lines in
Belgium. In case this is done and in
case the German retreat is as rapid as
the Allies hope it will be, very press
ing danger confronts Holland, name
ly, that the German retreatiig armies
may seek shelter on Dutch territory and
more especially use the strip of Dutch
territory projecting into Belgium and
the province Of Limberg to hasten the
retreat to Germany.
If German armies reaching Hol-
land allowed themselves TO be dis
armed and interned nothing would be
simpler than 10 send the men and
their officers into camps until the con-
clusion of the war. Holland knows,
however, that the Germans would not
allow themselves to be interned with
out Offering resistance, il they thought
resistance would help them TO escape,
and the Dutch Government, with tho
unanimous support OF public opinion,
| is doubling the guard at the frontier
TO meet any emergency.
A possible explanation of Germany's
activity in sowing mines along the
coast Of Holland outside the three-mile
limit, was given 10 me to-day. My
| informant asserted Germany was con-
vinced that the Allies were about 20
| land troops in Holland, with the con-
[ sent of the Dutch government, which
/ is angered by the repetition of the
/ German outrages TO which she has been
/ forced 10 submit, and which is about
I 20 assert the Netherlands' rights. These
/ mines, my informant asserted, we're
/ planted in the hope of handicapping
| the transportation of troops TO Hol-
/ land.
Whether there is any basis OF truth
/ in the report il is impossible TO say.
/ In any case, all Dutch reports. no
matter how wild, must be considered,
as developments OF extraordinary i'm
! portance are going on there now. The
/ decision of the Dutch steamship lines
70 discontinue salings is regarded as
significant. The Dutch troops have been
modified for months, and with the
recent increase of her feet Holland,
for nation of her size, is well
equipped for fighting.
| Living on the edge of an inferno
since the beginning Of the European
conhagration, the Dutch have grown
accustomed to war and would take en-
trance into it as matter of course.
/ SO far Holland has been able TO main
tain her neutrality and has grown ex-
ceedingly fat from war profits. An
other report is that Holland, expecting
an Allied offensive, is closing her from
tier to prevent the Germans from re-
treating into her neutral territory.
Any action taken by the Dutch Will
| be solely on their own initiative. Ru-
nors circulated that the Allies have
brought pressure 10 bear on them are
being officially and cmphatically denied
here.

GERMANS DRIVEN BACK
FROM CAuLETTE WOOD
PREDICTS GERMAN DRIVE
AGAINST BRITISH FRONT

London, April 4.-The
Timess military correspon-
dent in an account of his
visit to Verdun predicts the
development shortly Of a
big battle on the British
front.
The Germans" says the
correspondent, have their
army distributed in two
great masses-onc in front
of the British army and the
other around Verdun. The
first group numbers "a di-
visions and the latter 80 di-
visions. The rest of the line
in France is thinly held.
From this distribution
one must suppose either that
the Germans intend to at
tack the British or expect
the British to attack them"
