There will be no limit to the num-
Der of troops and cannon that this
country will send against the forces
of the Teutonic autocracy. Every
industry and every dollar in the land
is pledged to support the war until
victory for the Allies.
This, briefly, is the government
flight until victory" program, outlined
by Franklin K. Lane, secreary of the
interior, in an address here today.
Secretary Lane said 10000
troops will be added to the 100000
already in France, If needed, a year
from now.
I'VE realize now what we are fight
ing for" Secretary Lane declared
I'VE are OF fighting merely from
pride becat q Germany outed us. We
are not fighting to make page in
the history of wars out of desire for
martial glory. We are not fighting
merely to protect international rights
guaranteed by treaty and custom.
I'VE are at war, when the last
word is said for the preservation Of
what we call Christian civilization
which is the recognition Of the fac
/ that physical force must be limited
by moral force that the world is no
to belong to the. strongest"
n Secretary Lane made a plea for tbs
teaching of Americanism.
"Americanism, he declared, us
neither internationalism nor intensi-
a1ed nationaliana, but growth and
the right to grow.
There are {, 100000 i1literates in the
United states-7oo,O 900 of these are
within the draft ages, Secretary LANE
said, declaring 1t is a shame tina
public schools are open only half {
year and "a disgrace that teachers
in them are paid less than day la

John Coco, an infant of 25 sum-
mers, chided his girl wife Mary, who
is but Is years of age, and the next
chapter was written when he smote
her upon the peach like bloom of her
right cheek.
Mary, apparently did not have the
proverbial "mommer" to go home to,
so she left Johns roof for good and
appeared at police headquarters last
night before Lieutenant Benedetti at
the desk.
The gallant lieutenant arose when
bauty in distress entered the hall of
tears and in true ChesterfieIdian man
ner inquired what he could do for his
fair visitor. He nearly lost conscious
ness when little Mary requested him
to write out a divorce from her brute
of a husband. Lieutenant Benedetti
gently, but firmly. assured the lady
the police department did not issue
divorces and she would have to HE
her hence and hire a score of lawyers
to unscramble the work of Dan Gu
pid.
Tearfully the young matron pro-
tested she would rather die than live
with a brute of husband who would
lift a finger against her after only
three weeks of married life. OF course
she had heard of wife beaters but
then the people who INDUCED in THAI
gentle form of indoor sport had been
married for years and years and be-
side they came from countries where
it was the custom.
The Lieutenant finally advised ts1s
young wife to leave the matter in the
hands of the police and today Captain
Edward {. Cronan, chief of the de-
tective bureau, added the role of
peac erlaker to his multifarous duties

New York. March lS.--For max
ing remark which two army Of
iicers in his company construed as
being unpatriotic, VIM. Barnes, for
merly Republican leader OF New
York state, was taken to police
station early yesterday,
After Barnes made explanation,
the complainants' charges were
withdrawn, it was learned from an
examination of police records to-
day.
During a discussion of the war at
local club, Barnes made a remark
which his companions considered
uncomplimentary to Uncle Sam" "
the police were told. Barnes ex-
planned that "Uncle Sam was an
impersonal term, that his criticism
was that the country was not re-
sponsivc to the alarms OF war, and
that there was no reason TO chal-
lenge his patriotism.
Barnes left for Albany yesterday.

die of starvation. The mountaineer
makes a "smudge" OF damp bark and

which the Government has purchased,
the mountaineers are allowed to cut
the trees under a free-use permit.
This involves no expense beyond the
time and labor involved in clearing
