The Blindness Of Divorce
At The Grand Opera House Tonight

The object of this picture is the
disclosing of evils of the divorce sys-
TEN. Naturally the story is one that
will interest every man and woman
in these days when the question of
divorce is one that is arousing the
most intense discussion. The tragic
story of the mother divorced through
circumstantial evidence and made
the victim of society's hardhearted
ness is one which will strike home
in many cases. In this case there is
daughter who grows to young wo-
manhood and marries man who be-
comes district attorney. Her own
happiness is saved by the mother,
who tells on the witness stand the
story of her own disgrace.-Adv.-

The Renewed District Strike.

A charge that there was in fact no
real shortage in the sewage pumping
station funds necessitating the fur
loughing of twenty men has been
brought by the leader of the organiza-
tion of District employees now on
strike. He alleges that a large guam
tity of coal had been ordered in ex-
cess of the needs in order to exhaust
the funds and that the dismissals are
in the nature of punishments for the
walkout Of few days ago. Inquiry
into this charge is, Of course, in order
but serious situation presents itself
outside Of the facts in this particular
case. The possibility Of tying up an
important branch Of the municipal
work, thus affecting the health of the
District, is so grave that steps should
be taken to prevent such conditions
hereafter. OF course, the District can
not hold men to their employment au-
tomatically. It's workers have q right
to quit whenever they please. But an
organized strike precipitated without
consultation and while efforts are max
ing to improve the conditions Of which
complaint is made is blow at the

Water Waste.

While it is important that the house
holders Of Washington should be as
economical as possible in the use of
water during the summer, when the
consumption is greatest and the sup
ply is lowest, the chief saving can and
should be effected elsewhere. Most of
the waste is caused by the unrestricted
use of water in the government de-
partments and in other places of large
consumption. The savings that can be
effected in the houses are as but a
drop to the gallon wasted elsewhere.
Certainly the fountains in the parks
should be cut off before the house
holders are restricted in the use of
water to sprinkle their lawns and
flowers. Whenever appeals have been
made i'll the past, with the Potomac
supply running low because of ex-
cessively dry weather, the household
ers have always cheerfully responded,
but with feeling that greater eco
Monies could and should be practiced
by others. The Commissioners efforts
in this direction of cutting off the
larger wastes should be effective and
will be appreciated by all the indi.
vidual water users.
Evening star., 1918-06-10
Business and Revenue.

The ways and means committee will
continue the hearings on the revenue
measure until, and including, the Goth
instant. This, it is announced, is at
the request of business men, large
number of whom want to make matters
from their point of view clear to the
committee.
A good bill cannot be framed with
out thorough knowledge of business
conditions in the country, and how ad-
ditional revenue for the support of
the government will affect them. And
this knowledge can only be gained
from business sources. Business men
know their business, and they want
Congress to know what they know.
The new revenue measure will be
the biggest thing in the way of taxa
ton the country has ever experienced.
Ordinarily, the figures would stagger
everybody, the legislators and their
constituents alike. But these times
are aew and extraordinary; and their
requirements must be met. And to be
met successfully they must, of course,
be met intelligently. The legislators
should be sure of the assessments they
make, and provide that business shall
not be unnecessarily injured or de-
stroyed by them.
1t is known of all that the war has
changed many things in the business
world. Just how many, or to what de.
gree, is not known. But now is the
time to find out. Business has become
heavy burden-bearer. The govern
ment is leaning heavily upon it, and
may have to lean still more heavily.
While the war lasts its large money
cxactions will continue, and while they
continue the money to pay the bills
must be found.
All this is so plain it needs neither
argument nor emphasis. The thing
for the legislators to do, therefore, is
to improve the opportunity to inform
themselves fully as to the whole bust
ness situation, both as respects the
present and the probable future. What
they do now should be done with the
view Of providing a foundation for
what they, or their SUCCESSORS, at
later day may be called on to do. An
other revenue measure, Of even larger
proportions, may become necessary by
an early turn in the wars wheel.
Teamwork is the need and word;
and teamwork is impossible without
clear appraisement of what can be
done under circumstances new and ex-
cecdins,y complex.

printing in war time, with paper and
labor scarce, should be Investigated
and quickly acted upon to the end of
reducing the wastage that is apparent
to every newspaper editor in the coun-
try, to whom goes constantly stream
of printed matter in such volume that
at least nine-tenths of it is unavail-
able. A systematic editing Of these
publications would not only save paper,
but would add TO the effectiveness of
the reduced output.
The print paper problem is seri-
GUS one, and the government should
cooperate with the publishers of the
countrywide are doing their best in
the circumstances to conserve the sup
ply-by cutting out its own waste. 1t
IS no doubt necessary and it is certain
ly desirable that the various war ac-
tivities of the United States should be
properly disclosed and that the. needs
of the government should he pointedly
and effectively set forth for the
guidance and information of the news
paper editors. But the present flood
of printed sheets, bulletins, circulars
and appeals is SO great that few of
them can be even read.
Print economy is today an urgent
government necessity, and the feeling
now prevailing in the Senate may be
turned to good use by the adoption of
a system of pruning in the depart
ments and bureaus that will aid every
tody and stop gricvous waste.

Germany's War Rules.

Members Of the International Red
Cross at Geneva who contemplate pro-
testing to Germany on the score of
the bombing of hospitals might as we'll
save their energy. Their protest, if
filed, will yield no result. Germany will
probably make no reply, or if she
should vouchsafe reply will answer
that the bombing of hospitals is neces-
sary as a war measure, that war has
changed since the Geneva convention
and that The Hague agreement was
broken when war was declared. It
makes little difference what Germany
says on the subject. The fact remains
that Germany is bombing hospitals, as
she is using poisons and shelling un-
fortified cities and impressing civilians
into military service and abusing and
outraging the people of occupied areas.
Germany has made herself law Of her
own, and no protest, no appeal, will
avail. There is but one remedy for
the abomination, and that is utter de-
feat in the field.

The Governments Paper Waste.

"Cumbering the Record" is stand
ing grievance to certain members of
Congress, who are inclined to regard
the official publication of that body
as deserving of more consideration
than to be treated as a dump for all
sorts of writings, originating outside
Of the big white building on the hill.
Lately the complaint against the in
lection of extraneous matters has be-
come more pointed. as reports from
the government printing office have
indicated increasing difficulty in se-
curing the necessary labor and paper
for the production of the enormous
mass Of printed matter. Saturday the
case came to point on the subject of
the introduction into the Record of
over seven columns Of petitions for
the immediate adoption of the suf-
frage amendment, now pending. In
connection with the printing Of these
voluminous communications it was
suggested that something be done to
relieve the printing Office of some Of
the heavy burden imposed upon it by
the departments, which are running
riot with types and ink in these war
days. There are no less than forty
seven different publicity bureaus
now in full swing, each turning out a
large quantity Of matter weekly. In
addition, the "Ofieial Bulletin" which
serves, SO far as can be ascertained, no
distinctly useful purpose, uses four
tons Of paper daily.

The Noyon-Montdidier Offensive.

Hurting into the battles nav count
less divisions of men without regard
for resultant carnage in massed at
tacks, the German command has de-
ivered another blow in its general
campaign to reach Paris. Along that
section of the battle front stretching
from Montd:dier to Noyon, approx
mately eighteen miles, Teutonic le-
gions are battling madly to smash
through the French lines, at least to
penetrate to such depth that the sail
ent which the allies hold between the
River Oise and the Aisne will be elimi-
mated by necessary withdrawal of
Foch's forces. They are struggling to
unlock the gates on either side of the
River Oise that they may press south
ward and unite the armies operating
at the tip of the salient stretching
southwark between Rheims and Sois-
sons and those to the west. The sue
cess of the whole German tactical
scheme depends on further gains in
the struggle now under way.
But notwithstanding stupendous
German efforts the French have been
forced only from that section of ter
ritory known as the covering zone;
territory made ready for some such
blows as have been delivered by the
Germans. These covering zones are
intended to weaken the shock of the
Teutonic impact before the advancing
Huns reach the main allied positions.
Everywhere the French are fighting
valiantly against the foe, and the prog
ress so far made is not nearly as great
as during the first hours of the Ger
man drives in Flanders, before Amiens
or along the Chemin des Danes. In
fact, the ability of the French armies
10 withstand the tremendous impact so
successfully, giving up such a small
terrain, is an omen highly favorable to
the allied cause. If the Germans do
not gain great areas during the first
hours of their driveo they seldom de-
veiop their plans as hoped.
There is no reason for alarm in the
present situation, serious as this and
all German o,fensives may be. There
is every indication that Gen. Foch is
prepared for some such effort, as it
was realized that the Oise-Aisne salient
Of the French was an obstacle which
the German command would undoubt-
edly strive to wipe out. To best do it
with the least possible losA it was part
of good tactics to strike behind the
salient in order that the new drive
might, by cutting off the French forces
operating IN the general direction of
Chauny, force general retirement.
Foch's canning again has come into
play. AS a result it may be safely
stated that the German gains never can
compensate them for their terrible cas-
ualtics.

which tho organization was formed

case make the present quitting of
