Washington. May 17.--Moving pic
lures, lax laws, and intemperance are
blamed for the numerous divorce
cases in the United States by the
committee on temperance and di-
vorce to the Southern Baptist con-
vention today.
Quoting from government statis-
tics obtained annually in the coun-
try, the report shows that in 1916,
when the figures were gathered,
there were 1905 divorces.
Were late figures available, the re-
port continues, tho picture would still
be darker. certainly this would be
true of 1919. owing to the large
number of hasty and foolish mar
rtages contracted during the war.
As a primary cause of this condi-
ton the report denounced the motion
picture as now produced, declaring
that nearly every film put on the
screen contains some evil suggestion.
Many OF the films are based on the
eternal triangle and the suggestion
OF disregard IL not open breach of
the marital relations"
Many divorce laws are described
as foolish and absurd" The report
argues for the publishing OF the mar
riage banns for thirty. days before
the rite can be celebrated; physical
examination of each contractant and
the establishment of code (which
should come as nearly as possible to
bible teaching, and that in all other
cases divorces te granted without
right OF another marriage"
Bitter Attack on Press.
A proposal to appoint committee
to study the advisability Of establish
Ing = Baptist newspaper was made

Cox. Of Memphis. against newspapers
in general and the Associated Press
in particular.
Seventy-five per cent Of the blue
pencils Of American newspapers, he
charged "are in Roman Cathoi,c
hands," :
Frank H. Burkhalter, Of Nashville,
Tenn. and Rev. Alex Bealer, Of
Georgia, both resented the attack ana
declared the Baptists had always re-
ceived the fairest treatment from the
Associated Press.
Attack on Censors Eliminated.
An attack on the national board of
censorship OF motion pictures con-
tained In a report before the South
ern Baptist convention today, was
eliminated when the report came up
before the convention. Dr. w. W.
LIandruni. of Russellville. Ky,- pre-
sented the motion to strike out the
attack, declaring that the statement
was libelous and might result In
heavy damages being obtained from
the convention.

Washington, May 17.-Secretary
Daniels today let go broadside
against the advocates Of general
staff for the navy, declaring that
they sought to "Prussianize" the
navy and make the secretary "a rub
ber stamp"
He told the senate committee In
vestigating the naval conduct OF the
war that "one Of Admiral Sims
chief objects in writing his letter Of
Jan. and bringing about this In
vestigation was to curtail the secre-
tary and remove the navy SO far as
possible from civilian control"
About the only piece Of advice
given by Secretary George Won l.
Meyer. when he succeeded him, Sec
retary Daniels asserted. was that
there were officers in the navy who
wished less power to the secretary
and more for themselves. He did
not understand what his predecessor
meant until few months later when
Admiral Fisie and the disciples OF
Won Tirpitz control Of the navy
sought to organize the navy on the
Prussian plan," he said.
IF congress- wished to depart from
the traditional policy OF civilian con-
troll Of the navy. 1t should do 90 by
making an admiral secretary OF the
navy and q member Of the presi-
dents cabinet. That would bs the
frank and open way to do 1t,
rather than put some Sims in control
with . secretary az his clerk and
office boy and rubber stamp. II this
committee desires to raise that issue
am perfectly willing TO 70 70 con-
gress and the country With and Let
the American people and their choa-
eh representatives make the de-
cinion.''

sible speed. But, acutely conscious
'of the gravity Of the situation IN the
transportation industry, we Feel It
'our duty to acquaint the country
with the essential facts.
We have presented our. case for
. living wage for workers. Elk
pert opinion, predicted on incontro-
vertible facts. indicates that the low
est figure at which the family of Ave
can be maintained In health and
reasonable comfort is $4,000 a year.
We have also submitted evidence
proving that only 21a per cent of the
whole army Of railroad workers are
receiving a living wage today. This
small percentage is composed almost
wholly Of division officials, general
mechanical foremen, other superyis-
ory groups.
Forty-four Per Cent Underfed.
"of the whole army Of wage work
ers in the transportation industry in
the United States today A per, cent
Of their families are underfed, So per
cent are underclothed and 81 per
cent Of them are overcrowded or in
adequately housed. On the basis of
what is accepted as the most ac-
curate estimate of a bare subsistence
level Of earnings, which is s1,700 a
year. So per cent of the country's
railway workers are, attempting to
maintain theif families below a bare
subsistence level. Moro than e00,-
900 railway employees do not earn in
normal year $1.075, below which
figure nearly three-quarters Of the
families are underno,lrished, and
seven eighths are llnderclad.
Here is the entire transportation
system Of the country, not with its
unskilled workers alone below the
level Of subsistence but with seven
eighths Of its entire working force
below this level and a large proper
ton actually below the starvation
wage. Whole classes--the largest
classes in the railway service must
fact the prospect Of seeing their
families without the barest necessi-
ties Of physical well-being. while
only a small proportion can look for
ward, after nearly lifetime OF SER
vice. to attaining an approximation

should be sufficient to compel inn

cstlled from the peaceful fields of

saints. Pope Benedict listened to
second and third requests OF officials
OF the canonization. Monsignor CALI

vInced. the pope had decided that
TINS thing was pleasing to God and
had decided to complete the canoni-
z'ation. The ceremonies were closed

the life Of Joan or Arc.
Tho interior OF st. Peters was
lighted by thousands Of incandescent
bulbs and innumerable wax candles

Commerce Board
TO Take Control
of All Railroads
By Associated Press.

BY Associated Press.
Washington, May 17.-war-t time
regulations. governing the operation
Of all the railroads OF the country.
arc to be put into effect before the
end of the week.
The best means OF placing the
transportation systems under tempo
rary government control are to be
ecutives and the interstate commerce
commission. Immediately thereafter
the commission will make public its
plan, to which the railway execu-
tives already have pledged their CO.
operation.
These facts were learned today
from a high official OF the Interstate
commerce commission.
The nation wide car shortage re-
sulting In a threatening situation
even to the extent OF transportation
Of food and fuel, has made central
ization of railway management under
government control a vital and inn
mediate necessity.
Measures Made Necessary.
Under the new railway law the
Interstate commerce commission
will this week put into effect the
following extreme control measures.
made necessary by tho car shortage
and requested by the railroads them
selves In petition received by the
commission yesterday:
1. PripritieS on shipments of
necessities.
2. Export embargoes to conserve
food and fuel.
8. Diversion OF traffic wherever
necessary.
4. Joint use OF terminals and
interchange OF equipment
In addition 1t is not unlikely that
the commission. in coping with the
situation. will be compelled to cur
tail passenger traffic in order to ex-
pedite freight movements.
Control May Last Till Fall.
Officials refused to predict how
long a period of government man
agement would be required before
the situation could be restored to
normal and the railways again re-
sumo Independent operations It is
conceded, however, that the inter-
state commerce commission will have
to exercise its emergency powers for
a considerable period before normal
conditions prevail.
The enormous volume of freight
traffic which will be made necessary
shortly by the movement Of crops
and Of Industrial raw materials prob
ably. will continue the period Of gov
ernment management to cover the
entire summer and fall.
The building OF large amounts OF
rolling stock, which viii be the real
solution to the problem, can not be
completed for many months, II Is
conceded, even with the use of the
$Soo,00o,oo0 revolving fund appro-
priated by congress for this purpose
Freight Congestion Desperate.
Altho desperate attempts have
been made to clear up the freight tie
up, railroad officials admitted that
the effort had not succeeded. So great
is the tieup that reports indicate that
there Is immediate prospect of clos
ing great wholesale plants with con-
sequent curtailment of production.
Should the commission find that the
emergency justifies it orders taking
over virtually complete control OF
freight movement probably will be
Issued today. The first step would be
Issuance of priority orders for ship
ment OF coal. Curtailment of passeng-
er service has been considered by
roads to expediate freight movement
but officials Of the commission say
this will be done only as last resort

Question Before Voters.
BY Associated Press.
Washington. May 17.-The repub-
lican peace resolution adopted Sat-
urday by the senate but in slightly
different form went back to the
house today for conference. Repub-
lican leaders said the differences
would be ironed out so that it might
so to the president this week.
! President Wilson's expected mes
Sage vetoing the Knox resolution de-
claring a state Of peace with Ger
many will prove the most important
contribution by the chief executive
to the controversy over the peace
treaty and the league of nations COW
enant, according to administration Of
ficials.
1t not only will reject the effort Ut
congress to establish peace by legis-
lation. but it will definitely pro-
ject the question into the presiden-
tial campaign.
In effect the veto MESSAGE will be
a presidential campaign challenge.
and, will furnish the guide for the
keynoting at the democratic national
convention, to be performed by Tenn
porary Chairman Homer Cummings.
Whether the president will return
the treaty to the senate when he
vetoes tho peace resolution Is not
known. even to his iptimates, altbo
they would not be surprised by such
q move and Senator Hitchcock has
predicted II
Even II Mr.. Wilson should re-
submit the treaty, the senate would
not act upon It before the election.
for the republican majority in the
senate is quite as des.rous of sub
mitting the issue to the people for
judgment as is the president.
The only motive the president
could have in resubmitting the treaty
at this time is to pass the responsible
lity for its disposition back to the
senate, which he will ask the people
to influence in favor of ratification
without the reservations twice voted
by the majority.
The veto message is expected to
reach congress within the next fort
night on the eve OF the assembling
Of the republican convention and the
promulgation Of the republican plat
