DIVORCE EVIL IS GROWING
Fascination of Husband or Wife For
Some One Else, Reason For
Many Divorces.

Neutrality-suspicious. than so per cent
of the divorces granted in this coun.
try are based on "trumped-up charges"
resulting from the fascination of the
husband or wife for "some one else,"
Francis Minor Moody, of Chicago, ex-
ecutive secretary of the international
Committee on Marriage and Divorce,
declared before the Senate Judiciary
Committee. Appearing in support of
a joint resolution proposing a consti-
tutional amendment providing for uni
form Federal marriage and divorce
laws, Mr.. Moody declared that the
divorce evil was "worse plague than
the saloon ever was" and that the
remedy was in Federal legislation.
He told the committee that in 1916 the
divorce rate in the United States was
136 per 100000, exceeding that of ia
pan, where, he said, the divorce situa-
ton always had been recognized as
serious.

DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE RE-
NEWS CAMPAIGN AGAINST
PRoFITEERS.
Boosting of Sugar Prices BY Profiteers
Causes Attorney General Palmer to
Renew Action For Lower Prices Of
Foodstuffs-Heavy Imports of Sugar.

Washington.-The series of attacks
Mitchell Palmers campaign against
profteering, eliminating in Senator
Arthur Capper's charges that profit
GERS were operating throughout the
country with impunity, have stirred
the Department of Justice 10 unprece-
dented action in combating living
costs.
Howard e. Figg, in direct charge of
the departments profiteering cam
paign, announced that executives of
large sugar refining companies would
meet with him to discuss possible re-
ductiOn of prices to the consumer.
Sugar prices, which are said to be
the highest in history, at a time when
imports to the United States have es-
tablished a worlds record for volume,
have been cited by members of the
Senate and House as showing that the
Attorney Generals campaign against
profteering has been complete fail
ure. Since the Attorney General took
over the regulation Of prices for food
stuffs from the Food Administration
last October the price of sugar to the
consumer has increased from around
II cents a pound to 10 cents and 20
cents a pound.
Charges have been made in Con-
gress recently that Mr.. Palmer, in
sanctioning the price of II cents for
the Louisiana product has caused a
loss to the consumer of almost hun
dred million dollars annually. Real
izing the benefits of obtaining the
Louisiana price Cuban exporters to
this country are sending shiploads Of
sugar to New Orleans, where it is dis
pensed to other sections of the coun-
tries for top prices, although it for
merly was sold in this country for five
cents pound.
Mr.. Palmer's announcement that he
had called in all big sugar refiners to
effect a reduction in price is in line
with his recent announcement that
"the department was going TO do
something within the next 80 days"

The council is leaving to President
Wilson the arbitration of the differ

WARsHIPS GO TO MEXICO
To Protect Lives of American CitI-

to Be Guarded.

Washington.-Three American war
ships were ordered into Mexican
waters. Because of the ominous situa-
ton brought about by the widespread
revolt against the CarranZa regime,
American vessels were dispatched to
Mexican ports to protect the lives ana
property of Americans and other for-
eigners in that country. Secretary OF
State cambridge Colby, acting upon a
request from American Consuls in va
rious parts of Mexico, announced that
vessels would be sent South immedl-
ately. Subsequently the Navy Depart

the State Department indicated that
number of sections of the southern re-
public are being embroiled in the rev.
dictionary movement directed at the
overthrow of the Carranza Govern
ment. The possible alignment of all
tisaffected political elements in Mexico
for the purpose Of bringing about the
fall OF Carranza is the important de-
velopment momentarily expected by
Washington officials who are in close
touch with the situation, it is said. Off

ment reported the detection of i'm
