Boston, Mass-Guy c. Bean testi-
fed before Judge John F. Brown in
the equity session of the Superior
court that in view of the fact he had
seen men who roomed in his house
kissing his wife, Lucy A. Bean, he did
not feel the court should grant her
petition for counsel fees and alimony
pending trial of her divorce libel
against him.
Judge Brown ordered Bean to pay
his wife $50 counsel fees, but declined
to pass on the alimony motion because
the divorce court sitting is near at
hand. The defendant charges that
his marital troubles are due to his
wifes relations with other men His
wife charges him with cruel and abu-
sive treatment.

DRAFT WILL
FURNISH MEN
FOR The navy
Only Men Specially Qualified Will BE
Allowed to Enlist in Navy or
Marine Corps.

Washington, September 90 - The
program under which the navy and
the marine corps will secure the men
hereafter needed has been announced
by Secretary Daniels after conference
with representatives of his Depart
ment, the marine corps and the Pro-
vost Marshal Generals office. Tie
navy is to have an average of Is 0C0
men monthly, while the marine corps
will get 5000 monthly for four months
and 500 each month thereafter.
Of the navy allotment of $4,000 it
may enlist or enroll men who have
special qualifications for certain work,
but the remainder will come from
the run of the draft" navy officials
calling out skilled men to meet as far
as possible the special needs of the
service.
Men who now hold or may hereaf-
ter he given deferred classification on
account of dependency will be per-
mitted to enlist in the navy as the
higher pay given is expected to do
away with the possibility of hardships
to the depedents. Those who have
seen previous service in the navy al
so will be permitted to re-enlist, in
no case, however, not even from the
draft, will the navy accept men who
cannot read, write and speak the Eng
| lish language, nor will it accept men
not citizens of the United States of
conscientious DIRECTORS.
Much the same system will be fol-
lowed in enlisting men both in the
navy and marine corps. Naval re-
cruiting stations will be known as
mobilization centers," each having n
definite territory to serve and they
will be established at central points
Marine corps recruiting offices also
will be kept open.
Cincinnati will be the mobilization
point for Ohio, Indiana, Kentucky and
Tennessee.

UNITED STATES NOW
A WORLD CREDITOR

The United States has loaned to other
nations engaged in war with Germany
something over three billion dollars, TAX
ing for the sums advanced the obligations
of such nations, bearing the same inter-
est and maturing at the same time as the
Liberty Loan Bonds
The wisdom of this policy is beyond
question. By strengthening these ma
lions and making them as powerful and
as effective as possible we are greatly
aiding in the shortening of the struggle:
we are doing much to insure an ultimate
victory; we are doing only that which it
Is our duty to do toward our Allies in this
tremendous war.
The fact that if we did not advance this
money much of the work which the Allies
are doing would have 20 be done with
American money and American men es-
tablishes clearly the intelligence and wis
dom of our policy.
There is work to be done which re-
quires the expenditure of blood and treas
ure. In making these money advances to
Great Britain. France. italy, and other
nations we are lending money which will
be returned to us. instead of expanding
sums possibly as great, possibly greater,
with no hope of return. In addition we
are saving the lives of American SOL
diers
No policy the American government
has pursued is wiser or more truly eco
nomical and patriotic.
