freedom OF the city.
German attempts to show dissension

of a Russian failure on the war than

VIRGINIA BROOKS IS
SUED FOR DIVORCE
Charles S. Washburne Says
West Hammond's Joan
of Arc Deserted Him.

Virginia Brooks washburne. reform
er and anti-vice crusader. known as the
Joan of Arc OF West Hammond" was
charged with desertion in a bill for di-
vorce filed yesterday in the superior
court by Charles S. Washburne
Two years ago Mrs. Washburne be-
gan suit for divorce against washburne
alleging extreme and repeated cruel
ty." Subsequently the suit was drop
ped and there was talk among Wash
burne's friends Of an expected reconcil-
iation.
Asks Equal Care Of Son.
The second bill contains only the
formal charges of desertion. It is al
legged Mrs. washburne left her husband
May Z, 1915. Washburne asks the court
to decree "an equal division of the care
and custody of their two-and-a-haIf-
year old son. Walter"
The Washburnes were married April
8, 1913, when Mrs. Washburne had gain
ed national fame for her crusade against
vice IN West Hammond.
For two years after she resigned a
career" to acquire a husband and do
mestic happiness, Mrs. Washburne ap-
parently was content. Then she began
suit against Washburne, charging he
had frequently attacked and beaten
her.
"D1vorce better way"
In defending her divorce action, Mrs.
Washburne said at that times:
I've just tried as hard as I could.
but somehow was unsuccessful. I
thought it best to quit. Living in an un-
harmonious atmosphere was killing. and
then. too, there was the matter OF my
self-respect The divorce is the better
way. although 1t is humiliating and dis
appointing"
Since separating from her husband
Mrs. washburne has been engaged in
promoting nursery work for the better
naent of children in the poorer dis
tricts.

of Germany that which the German
people themselves demand. 1t is nat
ural that adversaries Of German liberty
should try to complicate matters 1t Is
also natural that peaceful men carefully
study the American note and protest
against efforts to sift its meaning.
THE people of Germany are willing
to furnish the guarantees that Presi-
dent Wilson asks for.
"As America cannot conquer US ana
we have but little chance to enter
washington. this carnage Is senseless
and absurd. When it is proposed to end
it by reform which the German people
have demanded for years. the proposition
deserves to be welcomed.
