CEDDES BROTHERS
ASSETS OF ENGLAND

LONDON, July 2S-(Mail Core
spondence of The Associated Press.)-
One of the useful discoveries which the
war has given the British nation is
the Geddes family. Sir Eric Geddes,
as Minister of Ways and Communica-
lions, and Sir Auckland Geddes, as
President of the Board Of Trade, are
at the head of the two foremost de.
partments engaged in the great work
Of reconstruction, while their sister is
Commandant Of the Woman's Royal
Air Force with semi-military organ
! 1zatlon of sevral hundred under her
control.
The Geddes brothers come from
Scotland, which is apt to be a guaran-
tee OF success, and before the war they
were almost unknown beyond the
circles of their own professions. Sir
Eric Geddes was a railroad manager,
and railroad magnates do not hold so
large a place in the public eye in Eng
land as they do in America; smaller
Hounds, which last is about the most
purple pinnacle of distinction.
Sir Auckland Geddes was Professor
Of Anatomy at McGill University in
Toronto. Both Of them acknowledge
a debt to the invigorating atmosphere
Of the North American continent,
where Ericfrst worked as a lumber
man and later had his first railroading
lessons on the Baltimore & Ohio.
Sir Eric's first billet in the govern
nlent service was for the organization
and management of the hundreds of
miles of railroad lines behind the Brit
army in France, which he pulled out
of something like chaos where regular
staff officers had left it. Then he sue
cseded Arthur Balfour at the head of
the admiralty, at a time when there
were complaints that the navy was
in the hands Of a rather hidebound
board Of admirals and needed more
ginger-which it get.
Was Private Soldier.
Sir Auckland entered public life in
the uniform of a private soldier but
he soon graduated to the War Office
to be Lord Derby's right hand man
in the direction of the Derby recruit
ing scheme. Step by step he became
Minister Of National Service, President
of the Local Government Board, Min
User of Reconstruction and finally
President of the Board Of Trade
which roughly corresponds to the De
rartment Of the Interior at Washing
ton.
Just now the two brothers have
charge of the two toughest problems
of Lloyd Georges administration, the
reconstruction and the naturalization
or otherwise, as the issue may be de-
cided-Of the transport and mining
systems of the United Kingdom, a

lone MARRIAGE OF
5 IN STATE ENDS
IN DIVORCE COURT

The female Of the species may be
more deadly than the male, but men In
Indiana are twice as cruel as women.
This statement is borne out by de-
cisions in the courts of the ninety-two
Hosier counties in 1918 which have
been compiled by Charles E. Kettle
borough, director of the Indiana bur-
eau Of legislative information, to be
printed in the 1920 year book. The
statistics refer to divorces.
During the year 1876 wives were
granted divorces because their hus-
bands were cruel to them, whereas
only 845 husbands were able to sus-
tain cruelty charges. 279 women OBJ
tanned divorces on the grounds OF
drunkenness and fifteen men were
able to convince the courts that they
couldn't live happily because their
wives got drunk. And this all happen
ed during the first year of bone dry
prohibition in Indiana.
Husbands Do Abandoning
Not one man obtained a divorce on
the ground that his wife would not
provide for him, but 544 women obtain
ed chance to try for better luck in
selecting their next provider. Hus-
bands do the most abandoning, the
score being 765 to 447
But when it comes to unfaithfulness
the men are only shade worse than
the women. Divorces on this ground
were obtained by 242 wives and 213
husbands.
On the whole the situation isn't so
bad, the figures show, for about four
out of five marriages stick. During
the year 1884 licenses to marry were
issued and the total number of divor-
ces was 1878. This does not mean
that only one couple out of five have
trouble, for 1929 suits for divorce
were filed. Some of the couples made
up and others were forced by the
courts to go on being married. The
statistics display this feature of the
matrimonial game by showing that
2,709 divorce suits were either dis
missed or denied.
OF the sum total Of divorces grant
ed 1882 were obtained by wives and
1,640 by husbands.

THOSE SERVICE CHEVRONS

There have been SO many and such strong express
sions of sentiment on the part of American soldiers
against the use OF the silver chevron as a distinguishing
mark for those who have served in the army a designated
time in this country that legislation is proposed pohioit-
ing the use of service chevrons altogether.
The average man who has served in the army of his
country during a time of national peril would probably
like to have some official memento of that service. But
the recognition is not likely to be welcome if it really ad-
vertises the fact that the individual, through no choice
of his own, was not permitted to serve in the land beyond
the seas, while those who did serve in that distant field
are given a badge which conveys that information to all
beholders. 2.
The whole subject is complicated, and nobody has
presented a solution by means of which appropriate rec
ognition can be given for service without making dis
tinctions which are unfair to those who have lacked not
will and patriotism, but opportunity.

THAT LARGEST" NAVY

Secretary Daniels maintains that the United States
must have the largest navy in the wor1d-provided no
league of nations is formed. AS it is reasonably certain
that a league of nations will be formed. Mr.. Daniels is
fairly safe, because he will not be called on to make good.
Possibly the statement is intended as a long range sug-
gestion to the peace conference in the nature of a re-
minder that if the conference is so unwise or inca pable
as to omit the creation of a league of nations, the nations
may look forward to a lively competition in the business
of building ships of war, acompetition in which the Unit
ed States will be prepared to do her full share.
Still, it might be we'll to keep to the logic of the sit
uation, which is that the British empire, being the larg-
est, most populous and most widely scattered empire in
the world, needs the largest navy, and the United States,
occupying half a continent, and fronting on two oceans,
needs a navy second in size only to that of Great Britain.
That will hold good with or without a league of nations.
1t will hold good whether world ornaments are increased.
are reduced, or remain as they are. That position can
be defended easily and successfully. The proposal that
the Uni1ed States should have the largest navy cannot.
