CRUELTY IN DIVORCE SUIT

Justice Hitz has issued an order re-
quiring William A. Bramhall to show
cause why he should not be re-
strained from interfering with his
wife and from molesting her.
Mrs. Lorayne c. Bramhall has filed
suit for limited divorce and alimony

The wife. who is represented by At

that her married life has been a Sc
ries Of cruel, inhUman acts inflicted
upon her; that on several occasions
her husband struck her and has
thrown water on her; slapped her
lace: bruised her arm: and that she
is in mortal terror of him, and that
he has an ugly temper. which he
makes no effort to control"
The wife alleges that her husband
was discharged from the army in De-
cember last and is now employed in
a drug store, where he earns a good
salary, but refuses to contribute TO
her support and that OF their two
children. Mrs. Bramhall says she is
employed in the Patent Office. receiy-
ing a salary of 81 100 a year, out of
which she is compelled to support
herseP and children. A subpoena has

should the United States become a
| signatory to such a treaty, even
! though it refused to become subordi-
nate to this new government by serv-
| ice as a mandatory, il would still con-
stitute a part of this new imperium.
Its representative in the executive
+, council of the league would exercise
one-eighth of the sovereign power
which that corporation will possess.
"It is for the people Of the United
States to consider whether such an
enterprise as this is one OF the pUr-
poses for which they entered into the
war; and il is certainly a proper
question to be answered by the con-
stitutionally authorized treaty-mak
ing power, whether or not il is an en-
terprise to which the United States
has the constitutional right to pledge
the efforts, the resources, and the
lives CT future generations Of its citi-
Eens. Ny answer would be that such
a right has not been accorded by the
Constitution of the United States, and
is not in harmony with its intentions.
cit cannot be maintained that
merely because the United States is
classed as a sovereign nation the
Government. or any part Of it, can
therefore perform a sovereign act be-
sOuu LuG GCOpG VI NuG purposes lOE

lent joint imperialism. We are urged

manently into another hemisphere,
and in compensation 20 welcome the
preponderant influence OF others in
our own. Instead or permitting the
so-called new nations and the tribal
groups not yet formed into nations to
develop as other nations have done,
il is now proposed, through central
control by a small group Of great
powers and a retinue Of small ones,
to exercise an imperium over the
whole earth. nominalIy In the interest

LEAGUE WILL BREED
WAR, SAYS DR.. HILL

The league of nations is an imper-
ialistic power proposing to coerce
sovereign states which are not mem
bers Of the league, to abolish existing
laws Of neutrality, to govern as it
chooses dependent peoples placed un-
der its sovereign authority, and to re-
gard every local strife as a reason
for a general war. in the opinion OF
DR.. David Jayne Hill, former ambas-
terday afternoon at Memorial Conti-
mental Hall under auspices of George
Washington University on THE
Treaty-Making Powers Under the
Constitution of the United States"
Members Of the judiciary and the
Dicplomatic Corps, Government Of
ficials, Senators, congressman, univer-
sity officials, society folk, and stu
dents composed the large audience.
The lecture was the second of a series
Of university extension lectures on
constitutional and international law.
DR.. william Miller Collier, president
of the university, presided.
Reviews Limitations.
DR.. Hill reviewed in detail the limi-
tations on the treaty-making power
of the United States. He explained
that IL the league Of nations were to
be more than a mere advisory body
without power to enforce its deerees,
il would have to be a super-govern-
ment superior to the American Gov
ernment; and then, he declared - the
formation of such a super-gOvernment
would be illegal, because of lacking
the approval Of the people Of this
country.
"If a super government is about to
be created, to which the United States
is asked to make itself subject" said
Dr. Hill, sit is clear that our Con-
stitution forbids the President and
the Senate to make treaty involving
such subjection. They do not possess
the legal power to enter into such
an engagement.
There remains, however, another
question. The constitution of a
League of Nations may be so con-
strued as to leave the Government OF
the United States free to act or not
to act upon the recommendations OF
the executive council, and even to
prevent, by the opposition Of the rep
resentative OF a single power, the
making any recommendations or de-
cisions of any kind. In that case it |
seems futile to pretend that it is in |
any substantial sense q league, or |
oven an efficient entente. But, un-
less it is further modified, it does |
create an imperium IN which all the |
signatories have q part; for it pro- |
poses to coerce sovereign states which |
are not members Of the league.

Mans Reasoning.
Numbers l, 3 and 4 may best be
considered together. The general
reason why the scientific study of
the origin and early history of man
came so late is because his almost
immeasurable superiority to all
other animals, due to his possess
sion of most highly organized
brain, led him to assume that he
belonged to a peculiar class of
created beings, essentially differ
ent from all others, and, conse-
quently, not resembling the ordi-
nary inhabitants of the earth in
origin and development.
This assumption, which seemed
a kind of instinct, blipded him to
the true nature of his relationship
to the lower animals, and caused

who were ignorant of the simplest
laws of nature, discouraged and
forbade any ''irreligious" inquiry
into the natural origins and rela-

and ever-acting influences pro-
duced an intellectual inertia which
could only be overcome after MANY
centuries of gradually accelerated
effort on the part of the small

OF their reason in interpreting the
