Large Appropriations Needed.

The secretary urges larger appro-
priations for-all the bureaus of his
department, and for enlarged building
facilities. Experts in many lines, he
says, are being employed constantly

thus Gripping the department in its
work. This is particularly true. he
says, of the scientific bureaus. Higher
pay is asked for these experts,
/, Never" says the report, has the
demand for scientific and technically
trained men been so great as at pres
cnt. This has resulted in the loss of
many well-trained ,mcn in the Blu
reau of Standards staff. The time has
come when some OF the salaries paid
such experts must be increased or
their services dispensed with. This
cannot be done without a loss in
quality and the deterioration of the
high standard OF the bureaus work. "
Experts in the Bureau of Foreign
and Domestic Commerce, the report
declares, are paid much less than men
similarly placed i'll other government
departments and in private employ.
The report tells of efforts during
the year to reduce industrial wastes
and OF its paper saving and other
campaigns and work in introducing
new sea foods through the Bureau
of Fisheries.

tional sense it had almost no right to
discuss the matter at all with Ger
many, as Belgiums interests in that
country are represented by Spain aud
not by the United States. Conse-
qnently with all diplomatic procc-
dure now admittedly exhausted, the
department has no other recourse

Japan Leads World
In the Matter of
Granting Of Divorces

Correspondence of the Associated Press)
Toxic, Nov. 20.-In proportion to
its population. Japan leads the world
in divorce, according to statistics just
compiled by government officials. A
great number of separations come
about Immediately after marriage.
Whereas in England the proportion
of divorce is only two to every 10000
marriages and in the United States it
is eighty-two, in Japan there ARE no
fewer than l73 divorces to every TO-
900 marriages. Most of the divorces
recorded have been brought about by
mutual consent and through the eff
forts Of the go-betweens responsible
for the original union. They were &C
complished without submission to
court or law. Out Of the $4,000 di-
vorces which were effected between
1888 and 1902 only 400 cases were OBJ
tanned by law suits. The divorce re-
port says:
This remarkable state of affairs is
attributable to the5 fact that. ideas of
'individual rights and obligations as
well as knowledge and experience of
the law are but scantily developed in
the minds of the Japanese people. But
since the Japanese women are now
growing in the consciousness of their
dignity and rights we hear now and

German Efficiency Saves
PAPER in Front Trenches

Correspondence of the Associated Press
Baranowitsch. Russia, Oct. 2.-The
same principle of saving the most use
less scraps OF waste that is being
practiced all over Germany has been
introduced at the front now also.
There is not company or regiment
all along thc huge front that has not
installed, in convenient places in the
front trenches, receptacles for waste
of all kinds.
There are bags or baskets for paper
that can be sent back to Germany to
be made into pulp; for glassware,
whether broken or intact, for old
clothes and miscellany. and, of
course, for scraps of food that may
be used to feed swine that always are

eminent has exhausted its means of
diplomacy and has laid the case be-

Germany's reply, conveyed in con-

regarded as JUSTIFIED on the grounds
