Chicago Sets Divorce
) Record; One Judge Grants
453 DEGREES in z Weeks

CHICAGO, July 19.-Judge Frank
Johnston. jr., believes he has estab-
lished a record in the granting of
divorce DEGREES In the Circuit Court
here. Judge Johnston has been
hearing divorces for two weeks and
Saturday he signed his four hun
dred and fifty-third decree. He was
assigned to this branch of the Cir
cult Court two weeks ago with in
structions to clean up the badly
clogged calendar. He heard nothing
but divorce cases, signing DEGREES
during the noon recess, before court
convened in the mornings and after
adjournment in the evening. All
the cases he heard were uncontest-
ed and he was able to handle them
quickly.
Many racy stories, tales of wild
matrimonial adventure, of cruelty
and ne esiect, of the lures of vampish
women and the failings and weak
ness of half-portion men were to be
found in the records of these more
than 400 cases which turned loose
e06 persons to try II all over again

RUMAN|ANS BRING
TERROR T0HUNGARy
Pennsylvania, Annexed District,
Is Subjected to "Stupid ;.

BY a stan Correspondent Of the Lon

CoNSTANTINoPLE, July 19.-Ru-
manian rule in the districts annexed
from Hungary Is not only a savage,
but an Incredibly stupid reign of ter
ror. How savage and how stupid
nobody can realize who has not seen
it-as 1 have--with his own eyes.
Transylvania was the most prosper
Gus and the, most civilized part of all
Hungary. Now 1t is being ruined.

they were an invading army deliber-

SAVAGE OPPRESSION.
with economic ruin has come the
most savage oppression of the mag
var and German speaking inhabitants
and of the working class generally.
Thousands of young Hpngarians
have been deported to forced labor In
Bessarabia. Roman Catholic priests
and Protestant ministers have been
flung into goal. Trade unions have
been broken up, their organizers i'm
prisoned.
Worst of all have been the public
floggings. Men, women and children,
all are stripped and publicly flogged
or almost any pretext and with in
credible savagery.
When the miners union at Petro-
gen was suppressed the leaders and
their women folk were stripped and
flogged--flogged until their backs
were raw, and then turned over and
flogsed in front. Many Of them died
under the lash.
The boys at the big secondary
school at Tamasvar were sentenced
to 200 lcshes each for singing a Hun
garian national song. rwo OF them
died.
At Braso seven Of the leading Hun
garian Inhabitants protested to the
Rumanlan general against some OF
these barbarlties They were arrest
ed and publicly flogged.

and young boys. For everyone who
offends the officials, or will not bribe
them heavily enough, the lash.
This is the government" which we
are imposing on the miserable Trans
sylvanian people, who are learning to
loathe the Rumanians more than ever
they hated the Hspsburgs.

She turned from the window finally

and that her father must have gone for
the day without releasing her or giving
her any food She wondered vaguely II
she would have to wait until night be-
fore she had anything to eat IL she
had not been so desperately unhappy
the humor of the situation would have
appealed to her. II was all SO like a
hook. so unlike the things that hap
pened to happy normal girls, girls like
Cherry Harding for instance. At the

vague stab of pain In the region of her
heart. II hurt to think of Cherry now
that their friendship was over.
