DANIELS PRAISES
 U. S. MARINE CORPS

Secretary of the Navy Daniels said today: There are no better soldiers in the world than those in the United States Marine Corps. famfiarly known as soldiers of the sea- They have won their place by their splendid bearing, courage and bravery. Always among the first and. often the first to land whenever the country needs trained armed men they have borne them selves in such a manner as to win complete admiration and fullest con fdence of the American people. Ser vice in the Marine Corps is a badge of honor and promotion in the corps can be attained only by merit. In no other military service is promotion more certain to a man who demon strates 11ds capacity.
 June 10th to June 18th has been designated by the Marine Corps re- cruiting service as Marine Corps Week and a special effort will be made dur ing those days to add 4,000 recruits to the Marine Corps, the number desired to bring the corps up to the strength lately authorized by Congress. Young men with real American stuff ready to serve in all parts of the world on land and sea will find in it a place where they can serve their country in way to win it's gratitude with the oppor- tunity of winning distinction for themselves"

GREENWICH HEIRESS
 SAID TO BE READY
 FOR SECOND DIVORCE:

The divorce court may soon re- sound with the marital troubles of Mary A. Woodcock Wilmot, the young Greenwich heiress, who for two weeks ago married a. Port Chester, N. Y.. clerk after she had obtained a di- vorce in this city from Arthur Wood cock, driver of an automobile hearse
 It was reported at the county court house today that a Greenwich lawyer had already been consulted by Mrs. Wilmot, who is said to have told her young husband she was through with him. It is said Wilrnot found the matrimonial pace a trifle swift. It is said his wife became angry at him because he wanted to go home at a. m. when a party was in progress at a Greenwich inn.
 On their wedding night they had dinner at the Hotel Davenport, Stam- ford and Wilmot> is said to have aroused the ire of his wife by giving the waiter a $1 tip after she had handed him two $2o bills to pay a $2S dinner check Mrs. Wi1mot is alleged to have called the waiter back and handed him a $5 tip. There is another story of a party at the Cos Cob Inn at which the wine bill was $350, the dinner check $100, tips of $20 each were given to the walters and $25 to the musicians.

Dr. Frederick A. Cook, who discov- cred the Pole of Doubt, and who eith- CT been featuring or lectured about it ever since. will begin his fifty-third year today, having been born June 10, 1865. The doctor, although more or less discredited as an explorer by scientific societies and in the public mind, still has his stern adherents who steadfastly refuse to believe what they call the calumnies which have been circulated about the Doc. One of the most constant in the faith that the ultimate rehabilitation of his re- putation will be established is Dr. Frederick A. Cook. The author of 'My Attainment at the Pole" rejects with scorn the accusation that Dr. Cook is liar, although he cheerfully admits that he has heard much re- flection on his veracity. With genu- inc frankness the doctor admits that he may not have reached the exact. mathematical, geographical spot on the map where the North Pole ought

GENERAL WINFIELD SCOTT.


 The gallant soldier who hes ms. get attained his 30th year, is a native of the county of Dinwiddie, St. Peters burg. Va In that state he received his education and it's last polish at the college of William and Mary. With skill, diligence, perseverance, and un- rivalled eloqdence, he practiced law a short time in adjacent counties. But Ais great soul aspired to deeds of orms!" He entered into the service of his country in 1908 with the com mission--of captain of light artillery, and in a short time joined the south ern army under Capt. Wilkinson. His arrest, the charges against him and his unparalleled defence on that occa- sion have long since been before the public. This noble defence convinced the capital and the people of Wash ington that he. was scholar, a politi- clan and soldier. Since then no man has ascended the military ladder with more resplendent rapidity than has Winfield Scott. Two more rounds and he will have topped the climax of military honor! & Glowing with friendship, venera- ton and pride for this brave soldier a number of citizens of Petersburg as we rare 2 informed; have resolved to have made an elegant sword, with ap- propriate devices to be presented to the Hero of Chippewa and Bridge water. In his hands we are confident that it never will be drawn but in defence of his country's rights and never tarnished b.t in the blood of our foe.

Assembled Socialists
 Fail to Hold Meeting

London, June 9--"Owing to vari- ous circumstances' the general meet ing of the International Socialist Committee set for yesterday in Stock holm could not be held, says Reuter- despatch, today from the Swedish capital. It is rumored, says the mes sage, that the meeting has been post poned until September.
 Lord Robert Cecil, Minister of Blockade, explained in the House of Commons yesterday that the British government had decided to issue pass ports to Petrograd to both the ma jorfty and minority representatives of working class opinion in this coun- try, as the Russian government ex- pressly had desired that both par ties should be represented. The Min ister added:
 The passports are not intended to enable their holders to attend or take part in any international conference at Stockholm or elsewhere, and it is only on this understanding that the passports will be issued. There must be no communication, direct or in direct, with enemy subjects
 Asked if conversations would be a1- lowed with Hjalmar Granting, the Swedish Socialist leader, Lord Rob- ert replied: a
 "Mr. Granting is not only a highly respected statesman of Sweden, but he is by no means hostile to the cause of the Entente Allies"
 The Chronicle prints a telegram from the Belgian Minister of Muni- tions and Socialist leader, Emile Van dervelde, who is now in Petrograd, stating that the western Socialists in- sists on conference of Socialists of the allied nations in London in July. This conference is to- precede that proposed in Stockholm by the Rus sian Council of Workmen's and Sol- diers' Delegates, to which it has in- vited Socialists of all nations, both be1ligerent and neutral The London conference will discuss the Russian invitation and frame a reply thereto.

 Thursday night the women warriors were addressed by Colonel Popoff. of the Twelfth army. He appealed to the women to shame male strikers and to admit to their hearts only suitors who have actively helped to defend the F,atherland.

NO CLUE AS YET.

The Greenwich authorities have made no@ progress toward unraveling the mystery surrounding the murder of Edward Long, who was found in a lot Sunday morning with pistol wound in his temple and he died shortly after. The funeral over the remains was held yesterday and the most noticed person present was his mother who came from New York and who seemed to be prostrated by grief It is thought that the death will affect a reconciliation between the husband and wife who have been separated for several years. The police have little to say regarding the case, if they really have a clue as ta the persons implicated in Longs death. All the parties arrested so far have been released after being examined, and the authorities are now on the still hunt for the woman who is known as "Nell.''
 $Fhe resorts in this city have been visited in the hope of finding her but nothing has as yet been heard Of the woman. She is undoubtedly some distance away.

 FOES SEEK DECISION

Amsterdam, June 9.-On the occar- sion of demonstration of new defen- sive methods on the Western front, says a dispatch from Berlin yesterday, Emperor William delivered a speech to the Brandenburg troops, inAwhich he sajd:
 The enemy is seeking @ decision. We await it calmly, placing our trust in God, who heretofore protected and aided us. Our enemy will be com- pelled to sacrifice men until he is ex- hausted and lays down his arms.
 You must hasten his exhaustion. When this is accomplished you will have won for the German people the position which they are entitled to oc- cupy. Peace will be dictated through you.'
 The Brahdenburg troops are serv- ing under the German Crown Prince, on the French front north of the Aisne.

It is reported from Ohio that 13 human skeletons of an extinct race were found in an excavation for a cellar in that city recently and the opinion is expressed that the hill on which the excavation was made is full of similar remains A strange thing about the skeletons found was that the arms had all been broken between the elbow and shoulder and the thigh bones had also been broken. Two of the skeletons were females and the rest were males. The females when living must have bees taller than the average man of the present day. The males must have been seven or eight feet high,
