dation of the Board Of Estimate, deter
mines that they shall receive pay and
fixes the amount. They are not to con-
sttute a part of the police force nor
be entitled TO any of the privileges of

Another important war measure APP

grounds. Notifications and other pur-
poses within the state.
The new law permits any duly au-
thorized agent of the United States to

be given TO the owner personally, or,
where personal service cannot be had,
a map showing the land TO be taken

amount is TO be hxed by condemnation

Strike of Women
In Paris Extends
To All Trades
1000 Girl Bank Clerks Plan
to Join in Demand for
More Pay

Paris, May 25.-The women's strike
is extending gradually from the cloth
ing trade to all occupations in which
women are employed. Four thousand
bank clerks, most of them women. met
this morning at the Labor Exchange TO
plan campaign for higher wages.
Most of them are now earning three
francs a day. Branches of the principal
banks of Paris were closed for short
time in consequence OF this meeting,
but not as a measure of resistance to
the strikers demands. 1t is generally
understood these women deserve higher
pay, and will receive it, as well as wom-
en- employed in various clerical and
manufacturing posts. 1t remains only
for their delegates TO confer with rep
resentatives Of the employers.
Police guards were increased largely
during the morning as a precautionary
measure. There have been no dis
turbances thus far.
One of the chief banks. the women
employees of which were on strike to-
DAY, granted them an increase in pay
of one franc a day, dating from Jsnu-
any last. thus terminating the trou-
bic in that establishment.
Partial satisfaction was given to-
day to the women strikers in various
novelty trades by the adoption by the
employers of a resolution TO pay them
one franc extra a day on all wages of
less than 800 francs a month for the
period of the war.

him. France, according TO the affida-
Wits fled in the Chancery Court ac-
ton, he considered far more desirable
than the United States, although not
quite up to London standards.
According to Mrs. Drexel's sister.
Nine. Anne de st. Cyr, Mr.. Drexel had
described America as "a rotten hole,
No place for a gentleman to live" 1t
was reported that Mr.. Drexel's trip
to France was also for the purpose of
instituting proceedings against his
wife TO obtain money granted her by
British courts, and Mrs. Drexel
sought an injunction against such
action. She got the injunction and
the following comment from the court:
'If Mr.. Drexel comes within reach Of
these courts he will spend his time in
prison"
Disliked America
One of the original causes of dif-
ference was Nr. Drexels opposition to
returning to the United States. Mrs.
Drexel related in her affidavit that her
married life became unhappy in 1907,
wnen, in response to her plea to re-
turn to the United States to live. Mr..
Drexel said: Nothing Will make me
live in that rotten country" She ac-
cused him Of practising cruelties and
indignities upon her from that time
forth. which finally impelled he, to
start for America in the hope of OBJ
tanning her freedom.
Mrs. Drexel was Miss Margarita
Armstrong, of Philadelphia. She was
married in 1886, when she was eigh-
teen years old. Mr.. Drexel retired
from the banking business in 1898.
and since that time has spent most of
his time abroad. They have four
children. Anthony Joseph Drexel. Lady
Maidstone, John Armstrong Drexel
and Louis c. n. Drexel. Mr.. DrexePs
income from his fathers estate is
estimated at about 100000 year.

London. May 25.-Mrs. Anthony j.
Drexel. wife of the former Philadel-
pnia banker. obtained n decree OF d.
vorce to-day on statutory grounds and
for cruelty. There was no defence.
She had entered into separation
agreement in 1918, two years after she
had established residence in Phila-
delphia, with the intention of starting
divorce action. At that time she was
dissuaded by her children from prose-
cutting the action.
Counsel for Mrs. Drexel said that
her husbands wealth had gone to his
head. and that, after the death OF
their second daughter, in 1914, he
abused and struck Mrs. Drexel, intimi-
eating her at other times By shouting
at her. Violent scenes occurred dur
ing their residence in Carlton House
Terrace, it was asserted. and in the
fall of 1915 Mr.. Drexel's actions
caused his wife to lock herself in her
room.
Ever since Mrs. Drexels trip to
Philadelphia in 1911, which, she later
acknowledged, was intended to be pre-
urinary TO a divorce suit, their FAM
lily affairs have been frequently before
the public.
Obtained Allowance of S50,00c
Under the terms Of the separation
o0roep,ant Nrs Dreyel was Ia re-
ceive $4,000 annually.
In August. 1915, the monthly pay
ments ceased, and to compel her hus-
band to resume them Mrs. Drexel had
t. file her domestic history in the
'Chancery Court here in the form of
afiidavits. Mr.. Drexel at that time
was in France. and asserted that the
british courts had no jurisdiction over
