TELLS OF JAUNT
TO BATTLEFIELD
OF THE ARGONNE

Lieutenant Edward w. Meek who
/ is with the Eighty4eighth division,
has written his parents, Mr.. and
Mrs. E. J. Meek, 912 Seventeenth
street an interesting letter telling
of his trip to the battleields on the
western front. Speaking of the Ar
gonne, he says,
Early Tuesday morning we set
out on our trip through the Ar
gonne forest, where the Argonne-
so many American laid down their
lives. We went from Verdun TO
Clermont in Argonne, then to Les
Islettes, and north through La
Chalade to LIE Four de Paris. This
is the heart of the Argonne forest.
The forest which is heavily wood
ed, is cut through by many steep
ravines. The Germans believed the
forest impregnable and on the re-
verse slopes of many of the hills
are elaborate dugOuts, rest houses,
etc Their trenches were protected
by masses of barbed wire strung
from tree to tree. and hidden IN
the thick underbrush. The road
from LeFour to Vanguois passes
along a ridge from which there Is
an excellent view of the German
first line positions. Saw many very
elaborate German dugouts. Van
guois is an isolated hill which
served as an outpost defense of the
Airi valley. Vanguois was the scene
of very severe fighting. Varenaes
was captured by the Twenty-eighth
division on Sept. IS.
From Varennes we went to
Montfaucon which was the prin-
cipal observation post on the
Meuse-Argonne front. 1t has an al
titude of 342 meters. From it's crest
an excellent view can be obtained
of the battlefields, the wooded
heights Of the Argonne on the west,
the hills beyond the Mouse on the
east and on a clear day the city of
Verdun. 1t is particularly remark
able in the concrete observation
post from which the German crown
prince watched the battle of Yer
dun. From here we went north
through Cierges to Romagne
where there will be a large Amer
lean cemetery. In this cemetery
there will be buried $4,000 Amer
leans. thus making it the largest
American war cemetery in a for
eign land. Saw many truck loads of
bodies going to this place. The ter
ritory around Romagne was the
scene of very severe fighting be
tween Oct and Nov. l. Went
the towns of Gesnes and
Exermont to Chatel Clachery. The
capture of the heights in this vicin-
ity resulted in forcing the enemy
out of the Argonne forest Grandpre
where we next went, was captured :
on Oct. 10. cleared entirely the Ar
gonne forest, one of the most for !
midable defenses of the enemy on !
the western front.

Marriage and Divorce

WASHINGTON, Q. C., (By MaiI.) About enc marriage in every nine is
 Terminated by divorce. The number of
 marriages in proportion to the popula-
 tton has increased since 1890, but the
 divorce rate has increased much more rapidly. The returns for 1916 show
 1,o5o marriagts and 112 divorces per
 100000 population. These are some of the more striking features of report
 on marriage and divorce, covering the
 calendar years 1916, which is soon to
 be issutd by Director Sam. L. Rogers of the Bureau of the Census, Depart ment of Commerce. This report was compiled under the supervision of Mir. William c. Hunt, Chief Statistician for Population.
 ORCE:- According to the rtturns which covered 9 Ss5 counties out of a total of 2,9so--no data being avail able for the 95 missing counties-the number of divorces granted in 1916 was 1t2,o36, or 112 ptr 100000 of popu-
 ation, as against 84 in 1906, 73 in 1906 and 53 in 1890.
 Excluding South Carolina, in which state all laws permitting divorce were repealed in 1878, the lowest three d. vorce rates In 1916 are shown for the District of Columbia, North Carolina, and New York-13, 31 and 32 per 100 900 population, respectively; while the highest three rates are those for Me- vada, Montana and Oregon-607, BPS and 255 respectively. The divorce ra- tes were higher in 1916 than in 1905 for all the states except eight; Maine, West Virginia, South Carolina Gin which there were no divorce in either year) Alabama, Mississippi, North oa- kota, South Dakota and Colorado, and the District of Columbia. In 3f.1 per cent of the cases the divorce was grant ed to tn. husband and in 6s.s per cent to the wife. The latter percentage com pares with e7.5 for 1906 and 66.4 for 1896.
 CAUSES or UlvOhCs:-ihe prln- cipal causes for divorce and the per centaaes contributed by them to the total were: pesertion, 36.a per cent; cruelty, 2s.3 per ent; in..delity,11'a per cent; neglect to provide, ~ per cent; drunkenness, 3.4 per cent; com binations of preceding causes, s.6 per cent: all other causes, 6.7 per cent 0esertion was reported as the cause ct 50 per cent of the divorees granted to the husband and 3os per cent of those granted to the wife. only 3L,f per cent of the divorce cases were children re- ported; in s2,i per cent no children were reported and in 1o,2 per cent the records contained no data as to child !! ren. Children were reported in 27,8 per cent of the cases; and in the re- l malnins l3,o per cent rne records contained no data as to children. The percentages based upon divorces granted to wives were 42,2 per cent and s,6 per cent,respectively MARRiAGES:-The report shows, for 2874 out of 2,9so counties-no inform aton being available in the case of the 1o6 missing counties-1 ,04o,7 as having been solemnized during the year 1916.
