GREAT BRIT AIN
 ASKS AID FROM BUSINESS MEN
Postmaster General Wants to Solve Problem of Keep
 ing Out of Debt.

LONDON, July 21.-The Postmas ter General has called upon the busi' ness men of Great Britain to aid him in solving the problem of how to op- crate the postal, telegraph and tele- phone services efficiently and with out a deficit
 A council of business men has been appointed to assist in the man. agement of the department. H. Cor don Selfridge, the American mer- chant in London, is one of the IS ap- pointees. The others include bank directors, presidents of Chambers o1 Commerce, railroad managers and other leaders of industry. One is newspaper proprietor, Viscount Burnham, of the London Daily Tele- graph.
 The Postoffice Department esti mates for the current year show deficit of 3,5O0,OO0 pounds. The Post master General had proposed to cover this by increasing the rates on the second-class mail but now this project has been abandoned.
 The question why the department should show a loss has been the subject of much debate in the news papers. The department has monopoly in the United Kingdom of the mails, telegraphs and telephone thus making it the greatest business in the country Yet. on combined revenue of 7O.000.000 pounds year. it has been run at loss. One writ CT has attributed the deficit to the doubling of the penny postage on letters, which took place during the war and it's retention since.

DIVORCE COURTS OF BRITISH ARE
 RUSHING CASES
Retired Judges Sit on Benches to Clear Accumulation
 of Cases.

LONDON, July 21-Since Easter the divorce courts have been work ing at high pressure to clear off an unprecedented accumulation of ar rears, which, added to steady stream of new cases. threatened al one time to overwhelm the physical capacity of the bench.
 It needed the assistance of a num- Der of retired judges to make head way against the avalanche of suits, with the result that they have been disposed of at the average rate of two score or more per day.
 The Lord Chancellor, Lord Birk- enhead, himself lent assistnce by acting as an ordinary judge in the courts. Reviewing the position, he said:
 The war has left a degree of un- rest which has spread into almost every sphere of modern life, and the influence of which is likely to be felt for an indefinite period in do- nestle relationships.
 Nineteen out of twenty or the cases in arrears" Lord Birkenhead aded, had their causes in the war or consequences of the war. The date when he joined the army was the early chronological landmark of petitioner after petitioner, from which dated the familiar andI mel. ancholy story of weakness on the part of the wife"
 It is Lord Birkenhead's opinion that matrimonial suits may not re- turn at least for a generation. to the pre-war leval.
 The anomaly of the present sit uation has revived controversies on the inadequacies of English divorce laws.
 Mrs. -Tiedeman, secretary of the Divorce Law Reform Union, estimates that the number of wrecked marriages in the United Kingdom is higher in proportion to the population than in the United States. se sE Hsae4

 FOR TUPPELA IN
 PETITION FILED

 Said to Be Insane.

DeVighne and l.. P. Dawes asking for the appointment of per sonal guardian for John Tuppela Judge H. B. LeFevre, in considera' tion of the petition. has fixed the hearing for July 2S.
 Tuppela, who was formerly con fined in an insane asylum in the States, in settlement made in the case between him and the Chichagof Mining Company became possessed of a considerable fortune in cash and retained an interest in certain prop critics on Chichagof Island. He was represented in the suit by Judge John R. Vim and J. H. Cobb and the latter Is trustee for Tuppela' s estate
 The petition filed alleges that Tup- bella "is now and has been for more than week last past insane or of unsound mind, and incapable of talk ing care. of himself;. that he is in urgent need of proper merical care and treatment, but because of his unfortunate mental condition, cannot be induced by his friends and physi- clan to take such treatment" etc.
 It is further stated that "said Tup- pela has an estate held in trust for him by an attorney of the bar of Alaska. which produced an income of upwards of $5,OO0 per annum, which is amply sufficient to provide for his care. maintenance and treatment, but, because of his mental unsound- ness, said Tuppela refuses to take any care of himself, but, as your petitioners are informed by his said trustee, and therefore allege, simply wastes and dissipates all moneys re. ceived from his said trustee"
 It is set forth in the petition that the petitioners have examined Tup. pela and believe that is best for him and for the public that the court should appoint guardian of his per son with authority to take proper care thereof and provide treatment for his mental and physical condi- tion.

AMERICA FIRST
 GIVEN MEANING BY BIG BANKER
Chicago Financier Tells Asso. ciates U. 5. Must Have
 Directly Policy.

MINNEAPOLIS, Minn., July 21.-- When America First" is made to mean decrying the importance of Americas foreign trade, it is not well said, Dr. Walter Lichtenstein, executive secretary of the First Ma tional Bank of Chicago, told the American Institute of Banking here today, On the contrary, he held, a large foreign trade is vital to the prosperity of some of the most inn portant of Americas business, par ticularly agriculture.
 All of us believe in America First" pr. Lichtenstein said That is what we are here for, to do ev- erything possible to aid and develop the business of our own country. But we are not giving aid and com fort if we support a policy which is based upon the theory that our foreign trade is unimportant and that conditions will right themselves if we will only look to our own affairs.
 Our Foreign Trade.
 
 amounts to possibly only five per cent of the total business done in this country, but, in the first place, any business man will tell you that five per cent difference only spells success or failure as the case may be. In the second place, when we say that our foreign business to of a total business done in this country remember that this is only a gen. eral average including every com mercial and manufacturing activity known.
 ''Of the most important of all in dustries, however, agriculture, the foreign trade is vastly larger than port 25O.O00,000 to 300, 1000, 900 bushels of wheat Of the 11,000, 900 or 12,000,000 bales of cotton which we produce yearly, 6,000,000 bales must be sent abroad in order to find a market, and in Chicago we realize that the large packing estab- lishments. so vital to the business of the Miuuie west, cdHHOt pToSpel without large foreign trade.
 Foreign Buyers Wanted.
 In short, the people who culti- vate our soil and who comprise nearly half of our population can not find a market for a large pro- portion of their products unless they can find foreign buyers for them. How, then, can we expect domestic business to prosper unless foreign trade prospers, and how can foreign trade prosper unless our customers in the international field are. pros porous? M
 Surely, we want to set our own house in order, but part of this setting in order must be the ex tending of credits to our customers abroad"
 American railroads, farms and many of the other industries of the country were developed during the Nineteenth Century largely by Brit ish, French, German and Dutch capital invested in. fixed assets in this country, Dr. Lichtenstein added. Tt behooves us now" he said, ito put Europe on its feet by using our surplus means in similar manner"
