PUBLIC FUND SUGGESTED
FOR 3 TANNER CHILDREN
Letters to Eueng Public Ledger See Faoess DeOotion Of
Husband Who Died With Wife When He Could Not Saue Her

Admiration which secs only a hus-
bands iawless devotion is the note Of
an increasing number Of letters received
from readers of the EVENING PUBLIC
LEDGER in the discussion of the prob.
lem of love and duty presented in the
case of William Tanner, of Hubbards
Wood, ILL.,, who died with his wife
when he found he could not save her
from an approaching train, after her
foot had been caught in a railroad frog
Many of the writer's thought Tan
ner's proof of boundless love and un-
hinching courage was a greater pos
session for the three little orphans left
by his act than any material service he
could have rendered them had he shun-
ned death and lived
Some were eager to contribute to a
fund for the Tanner children, in proof
OF their contention that a display of
high courage does not pass unrewarded
IN the world, even when the hero dies.
and that admirers of the brave are
ready to do more than applaud the hero
who gives up his life.
Would Aid Orphans
This idea of doing something zen.
erous for the children because their
iather gave proof of love for his wife
that was greater than fear of death or
any other worldly consideration is
voiced by Paul e. Flotron, of Hamp.

The Balkan Trouble.
He spoke of the difficulties in the
Balkans and added:
One of the features of the present
situation, owing to the breaking up
of the central empires. is that central
Europe has been Balkanized into
small states. Care must be taken lest
cause eff future unrest be created by
the settlement made"
The question: of Russia was one of
the most complex problems ever dealt
with by any body of lei Mr.. Lloyd
George pointed out. One difficulty
is an organization controlling central
Russia but there is nobody who can
say it is wen a de facto government
for the whole Of Russia" he declared.
Even if VIC could under any circum-
stances recognize the Bolshevik gov
eminent. we cannot recognize it as
the de facto government in Russia
1t is just like a volcano which is still
in eruption. n the best we. can do
is to provide security for those dwell
ing on its remotest and most access
sible slopes. and arrest the flow. of
lava SO that it shall, not scorch other
lands"
After saying that there was no
question OF recognizing the Russia
SOVIET government; that SUCH a prop
osition had never been discussed or
V proposed, the premier saidsit was
a fundamental principle of British
foreign policy never to interfere. with
h internal affairs Of other countries.
The government of Russia was a mat
ter for the Russian people,,
1t was at this point hat the pre-
Smier declared that it was not the
duty of the British government to
commit the country to a gigantic en-
terprise in order to improve Russian
conditions. much as the government
deplored those conditions. pointing
out that Russia was a country very
easy Of invasions but a very difficult,
rome from which to withdraw.
II would rather leave Russia Boil

it tina nse Great Britain landed in
bankruptcy" explained the premier
who added that this would be the SUI
est road to the spread Of Bolshevisn
! to England my earnest conviction
is thai military intervening in Russia
would be an act Of the greatest stu
pidity," he declared.
The premier said he might be asked
why, he supported Admiral Kolchal
and General Denikine. When tn,

explained, large parts of Russia hat
no hand in the shameful, act. and wer,

Mrs. Josephine III. IAwence.

To have settled 5000 disputes. be-
tween husbands and wives and to
have 10000 more under observation is
quite a record for one lone woman
Mrs. Josephine H.. Lawrence. assistant
superintendent of the social service
department in the Cool county court.
Chicago. believes she is the only
woman to hold such record.
In the eight years in which she has
been superintendent and assistant
superintendent of the social service
department she has settled 5000
marital disputes as well as attending
to the other duties of her office.s She
organized the department beginning
with a pad and pencil and appointing
herself arbiter of family Glarrels.
Today she has over 10. 900 cases under
observation.
1t is said that Mrs. lawrence
settled eighty per cent of the family
troubles which otherwise would end

of dollars. She is really assistant to

before they go to the Judge. If she
fails to get satisfaction the case goes
