HERE'S A NEW
DIVORCE PLEA
ALA MONGOLIA
If You Didn't Either Buy
or Capture Your Wife,
Why

Paris. Wednesday, Nov. 26.-(By
the Associated Press. s.)-Because he
had neither captured nor purchas-
ed his bride according to the tra-
ditional custom of Mongolia, a
young French diplomat assigned to
a post In the far east had his mar
riage with an American actress
annulled by the French courts yes
terday.
The diplomat met the American
in Shanghai, and after q short
courtship they eloped to Mongolia,
where they were married before a
Belgian Catholic missionary. Their
idyl was short-lived, as the Amer
ican girl, according to her hus-
bands story, remained only q few
days before departing without leav-
ing any address. The court held
that the marriage was not valid, a.
French law requires Frenchmen
marrying abroad to have the cere-
mony performed before q French
diplomatic offlcer or according to
the usages. Of the country in which
the marriage 10 performed"
Only TIVE Ways.
In Mongolia there are only two
modes Of marriage consecrated BY
traditton-capture and purchase.

: LEAGUE ISSUE
FOR CAMPAIG
Leaders Think Question
Will Dim Chances
By DAVID LAWRENCE.
Especial to The Argus.


Washington, d. c., Nov. 27.-The
Republican party will not take the
initiative in making the treaty Of
peace and League Of Nations a
party issue in the 1920 campaign.
Senator Lodge has been misunder-
stood. Not only is his statement
Of q week ago to be regarded as an
individual expression issued with
out consultation with Will Hays.
Republican national chairman, and
other leading Republicans both in
side the senate and outside Of it,
but the purpose he had in mind was
not to close the door to comprom-
ise, but to insist that those reser-
vations which he views as having
Amkricanized the treaty be- re-
tanned in any ratifying resolution
which is ultimately passed.
The foregoing constitutes the po-
sition Of the Republican party as
just outlined to me by the men who
have the say in its councils. 1t is
hopeful news because it means
that the Republican party isn't
going to allow considerations Of
partisan politics to govern its atti-
tude when congress reconvenes
next Monday and receives again
from President Wilson a copy, OF
the treaty for action. =
Hays for Ratification,
The true story Of that statement
issued by Senator Lodge as the
turbulent session Of the senate ai-
journed last week can. now be told.
Senator Lodge had been in fire.
quent conference with VIII Hays.
Together they. had discussed the
various moves which were made on
the last night Of the session. Mr.
Hays was deeply interested In
party solidarity. He was gratified
with the way the Republicans
united more than once on funda-
4eQtal questions. But he let'

ia miuimdm the percentage Of in

crease in the cost Of living.
'1lf the long run this would add
many new and serious burdens to
the cost Of living Of the entire pub
lie and would fall more injuriously
upon the working classes than
upon any others.
1T seems to me that the reason
able way to deal with this situa-
tion is to give to the industry as
q whole an average increase COM
mensurate with the increase in the
cost OF living and then let that
amount of increase be apportioned
in accordance with the wage bases
that are acceptable to the en-
ployers and the employees.
Control Of prices by the gov
ernment will be maintained for the
present.
Dispute Bound to Go On.
'The present negotiation stands
by itself, but 1t is far from dispos-
ing of the fundamental controversy
between operators and mine work
ers. That controversy is bound to
be a continuing one as matters now
stand. It involves living conditions
and conditions in the mines as well
as wages and profits, and the gen.
eral relation between the operators
and mine workers.
Therefore, to aid in applying
the principles which have govern
ed us and which should govern in
reaching conclusions in thu future,
it is urged that q permanent con.
sultative body. with purely advis-
ory powers, be set up consisting OF
the secretary OF the interior as
chairman and Of an equal number
Of representatives of the operators
and Of the mine workers. chosen
In such manner as they may each
determine from time to time.
To Ask Congress for Data.
"In order that the data necessary
for the consideration Of this con-
sultative body. may At all times be
available, It ID urged that the con-
gress make provision for collecting

Referring to the sad accident
that occurred in Newark on Satur-
day night when one woman was
killed and another seriously IN
iured by an automobile at the corn
err of Delaware and South College
Avenues. and yet another accident
on Sunday night on South College
Ave. when a College student was
knocked down and injured, the
question asked all over Newark to-
day is "Where is the side walk for
which the money was appropriated
at the last Legislature" Months
have passed by and there appears
no sign of activity in this direc-
ton. II is understood that the
Levy Court has undertaken the
work Of laying the side walk. With
the increased number of students
and the town people included, this
road is being traversed by about
1000 people. Then again what
steps can be taken to prevent
speeding? One has only to watch
at any hour during the day and
night and see the violations of the
law in this regard. Also the open
ing of cut cuts which is a con-
stant annoyance to residents of
this section. Is it not up to the
Levy Court to give this matter i'm

SURVEY SHOWS SOME
COMMENDABLE FEA-
TURES IN GRAM
MAR SCHOOL
Primary School. However
Provides Many Obstacles
to Physical and Educa-
tiOnal DEVELOPMENT

The School Survey Commission
found some commendable features
in the Newark grammar and pr.m-
airy school buildings. These were
not accessible last summer when
the Commission was visiting
schools in the special districts Of
the State. Only the high school
was examined at that time. The
other buildings were inspected on
the Saturday before the opening
Of school.
As in the case Of the other
schools of the state the S,rayer
score card was used in determin-
ing the fitness Of the buildings for
schoal purposes. Out Of a possible
125 points allowed for site the
grammar school building was rat
ed at rs; a out Of possible l65
was allowed for building; G6 ont
Of a possible $50 for service Sy$-
tens; lS5 ont Of POO for class
rooms and S ont Of 40 for special
rooms. The building therefore
scored 37S out Of a possible 1000
points.
With regard to the primary
School the commission found little
to commend it. IT'S faults are
many" says the report. and pro
vide many obstacles to the best
physical and educational develop
ment Of the children housed there
in" Some Of these mentioned are
that Sta:rway> and ve$,:bUleS are
difficult to heat. doors Of class
rooms and cloak rooms open in

fire traps, rooms poorly lighted
and two large for class room pur,
poses; toilet arrangements unSatiS.

;Sh:ng inadequate provision for the

too small for the building.
The commission was pleased It
note that the toilets had beer

and the rooms presented whole.
some appearance jus: before >choo'
opened. They were also pleased
to note that the movable. adjust
able seats had been installed in
the primary room.

At the close of the forenoon ses-
sion. the children are dismissed to
wash their hands and get ready for
the midday meal. The committe
in charge lays the places. the desks
being used in place of tables.
Each child will require two paper
napkins, one to be spread upon
the desk. the other folded neatly
at the left side. Plates. cups and
silver are also placed in position,
and when everything is ready the
children are called, form in line
and march in. each one taking his
own place. The committee then
serves.
In addition to the training in
domestic science afforded by the
serving Of a hot lunch. the teacher
will find many opportunities for
teaching table manners and many

DIXIE DIVISION TO QUIT
SERVICE AT CAMP GORDON

Atlanta, Ga, January. 3.-All of the
officers and men of the Dixie Divi-
sion are to be mustered out of service
at Camp Gordon, according to the in
formation received by the officers in
charge there, and made public in this
city yesterday afternoon.
1t was at first understood that the
division would be split up at Newport
News. the point of debarkatiOn and
sent from there to various camps, but
it is now stated that the entire divi-
sion will be sent to Camp Gordon.
All men living in $50 miles of At
lanta will be mustered out here.
Those who i've outside of the radius
will be sent to the camps nearer
home But the radius OF $50 miles will
probably take in majority of the
enlisted men, and a large majority of
the officers.
