WAR MARRIAGES FAILURE?
Indications Are That Many Brides Are
firing of Their Hero
Husbands.

Boston, Aug. 9-Are war brides tir-
ing of hero husbands? This is the
question the sociologists are asking
while keeping an eye on the divorce
court dockets, where startling figures
are arousing attention. Whether 1t is
war brides or hero husbands, there is
one ray Of light and hope. Although
the divorce figures are swelled to bal
loon size, the marriage licenses have
likewise registered at high and are
keeping fair pace.
By far the greater number of di-
vorces are granted to women, and far
the greater number Of these are for
desertion. So it would seem that if
the war has entered into the scheme
of marriage and divorce the hero Of
the war is not doing his share of mat
rimonial duty.

according to estimates made by mill
tary authorities Practically all of the

all ready to vote on 1t. June TO- con-
gress postponed 'ffnal consideration for
8 weeks. June il, congress appointed
committee of five to draw-up the
Declaration Of Independence. Lee
would naturally have been made chair
man, but he had been called home by
the illness Of his wife. Thomas Jeffer-
son of Virginia was made chairman
and his colleagues were John Adams
Of Massachusetts,, Benjamin Franklin
of Pennsylvania, Roger Sherman Of
Connecticut and Robert L. Livingston
OF New York. The committee In
structed Jefferson to write out draft
Of the Declaration. Jefferson did so.
The committee made some changes
and Jefferson then made clean copy.
Congress reassembled July 1, and the
Lee resolution was passed July 2.
How this action was then regarded is
shown by John Adams letter to his
wife, In which he said:
"The second day of July, 1776, will
be the most memorable epoch in the
history Of America. / am apt to be-
lieve that 1t will be celebrated by sue
ceeding generation as the great ami
versary festival 1t ought to be COM
memorated as the day of deliverence
by solemn acts Of devotion to God
Almighty. 1t ought to be solemnized
with pomp and parade, with shows,
games, sports, bells, bonfres, and IL
Elimination from one end of this con-
tinent to the other, from this time
forward forevermore." <
Jefferson then presented 4he report
of the Declaration committee, the docu-
ment now known as the Declaration
of independence. 1t was adopted the
afternoon Of July 4. John Hancock,
as president Of the congress, affixed
his signature. Charles Thompson
countersigned as secretary. 4 1t was
then printed and sent off to the sew
eral colonies. July is, the clerk was
instructed to prepare the document for
signatures. Properly engrossed, it was
signed by all who were present-50
members. Others signed in Septem-
Der and one member, Colonel Mexican,
did not sign until 1881. Seven mem
bers, for one reason or another never
did sign it.
Pennsylvania, being the first colony
to receive Its Declaration Of Inde-
pendence, was the first formally to
make public the action Of congress.
July 8, a general election day in Penn
sylvania, was chosen as the time. A
crowd of about 1000 gathered near
the platform erected by the Philosoph-
ical society seven years before
from which Rittenhouse observed the
transit of Venus. Mounted upon this,
Colonel John Nixon read the docu-
ment in his big voice and winsome
Deborah Logan, leaning over the wall
Of the Norris homestead, which was
upon the present site Of the customs
house, heard him quite plainly. Both
she and Charles Biddle, writing Of the
scene In their diaries, make the COM
ment that "few respectable persons
were present" This was not remark
able, for Philadelphia's wealthy class
of that day was outright Tory in It's
sympathy and John Dickinson, Ed
ward Riddle, Thomas Willing and the
others expressed its sentiments ac-
curately when they voted against the
Lee resolution.
After the reading the crowd gave
three huzzas and took down the kings
arms from the state house. The bell

The Philadelphia Fourth Of July
celebrationeof TIT was public dem
onstration. planned In advance. For
tunately we have short contemporary
account Of what took place. The
Pennsylvania Gazette, published week
ly by John Dunlap. tells in its issue
of Inly o, 1777, OF this first of long
line Of Independence day celebrations.
Here Is the full account:
FRIDAY, the fourth instant, being
the anniversary Of the independence
Of America, was celebrated In this
city with demonstrations Of Joy and
festivity.
"About noon, all the armed ships
and galleys In the river were drawn
up before the city, dressed In the gay
est manner, with the colors Of the
United States and streamers' displayed.
At / o'clock the yards being properly
manned, they began the celebration
of the day by discharge of thirteen
cannon from each of the galleys In
honor of the thirteen United States.
"In the afternoon an elegant dinner
was prepared for congress, to which
were invited the president and su-
preme executive council and speaker
Of the assembly Of this state, the gen.
eral officers and colonies of the army
and the members Of the several con-
tinental boards who were In town.
1.-THE Hessian band of music taken
In Trenton the twenty-sixth of De-
cember last attended and heightened
the festivity with some fine perform
ances suited to the joyous occasion,
while corps Of British deserters
taken into the service Of the CONT
nent by the State of Georgia, being
drawn up before the door, filled up
the intervals with feux de joie.
"After dinner number Of toasts
were drunk, all breathing independ-
ence and q genuine love Of liberty and
commemorating the memories of those
brave and 'Iorthy patriots who gal
lantly exposed their lives and fell glori-
ously in defense Of freedom and the
righteous cause of their country.
Each toast was followed by dis
charge of artillery and small arms
and suitable piece Of music by the
Hessian band. The glorious Fourth
of July was reiterated three times,
accompanied with triple discharges OF
cannon and small arms.
Toward evening several troops OF
horse and corps Of artillery and a
brigade Of North Carolina forces which
was In town on its way to join the
grand army were drawn up in Sec.
ond street and reviewed by congress
and the general officers.
"The evening was closed with the
ringing Of bells and at night there
was a grand exhibition of fireworks
which began and concluded with thir
/ teen rockets on the common, and the
city was beautifully Illuminated.
Everything was conducted with the
greatest order and decorum and the
face of JOY and gladness was uni
| versal.
"Thus may the Fourth Of July, that
glorious and ever-memorable day. b'
celebrated through America by thu
hosts of freedom from age to age til
time shall be no more. Amen ant
amen"
