MAN SUES WOMAN
FOR $4,000 FOR
BREAKING PROMISE

Chicago, Nov, Woman has as
sumed another Of mans prerogatives
the right to defend breach of prom
Use suits.
This innovation was revealed today
In the suit of Edward w. Walker, Jr.,
of Westfield, N. Y, against Mrs.
Blanche Senne of Chicago. Walker
wants $4,000 worth of heart balm
because Mrs. Senne merely exercised
woman's inalienable right to change
her mind.
Walker charges that Mrs. Senne-
then Miss Blanche Bender-promised
to marry him in August, 1915, follow
ing a courtship of many years. They
were to have been married in Cleve-
land last May. he said, but when she
met him there she changed her mind
and on June 20 she married Albert
Senne
Mrs. Sennn explained today that
Walker was too set in his ways"

DEMAND MORE ACTION
British Impress This on Geddes, New
Lord of Admiralty.

London, Nov. 1.-THE maiden effort
of Sir Eric Geddes, the first lord of
the admiralty in the house of COM
mons Thursday is not received wholly
favorably by the newspapers in their
editorial comment
He is praised for his frank and
buSinesSlike statement-which drew
cheers from the commoners-and it is
admitted that he said much which is
satisfactory and reassuring.
Appreciation is expressed particu
larly of the new distribution of af-
fairs of the admiralty tending toward
decentralization and also the intro
duct.on of younger men. This, it is
commended, ought to be justified by
results, altho the Times points out
that success will depend on the choice
of men.
The Daily Mail which has been OPP
posed to the present policies of the
admiralty says the speech on the
whole dealt fairly and straightfor-
wardly with criticisms, but it COM
plains that when all is said the fact
remains that the Germans are forcing
the fighting at sea-
The bulk of the comment accepts
and endorses Sir Erics explanation
that the British fleet did not try to
ent>r the Baltic and also his statement
on the convoy incident. Criticism is
directed chiefly against conduct of the
submarine war and ship construction.
