SUES; CRUELTY 26 YEARS WED;
Asks Court for Relief; Mother of Three Sons Property Involved
tFrom Saturdays Dsny)

Personal violence, threats to kill and "vile, 1ow-down and obscene language" are three chief points in a complaint for divorce filed yesterday in the superior court by Celia Ben nett, naming L. D. Bennett defend ant Failure to provide, forcing the plaintiff to sell vegetables she raised with the help of three well grown sons, was also an allegation in the case.
 MT. and Mrs. Bennett were mar ried in 1895. Their later married life was marked by the 'excesses" and "cruelties" complained of, but. there were earlier causes of complaint. Prior to the birth of each child, Mrs. Bennett declares, her husband cast unworthy reflections upon their pa rentage.
 The Bennetts have alleged com munity property consisting of two patches of 1and-SO and 40 acres and some livestock and other mater ials. The defendant seeks to dis pose of the property and the plaintiff asks a restraining writ She also asks $200 counsel fees and expense money and alimony in the sum of $75 a month. a- >.

SPRING REMOVALS ON FOREST REACH
 TOTAL OF 1O,O26
Data Being Circulated by Forest Service on Removals Under Short
 Time Grazing Permits

Out of a total of 23,S91 head of stock grazing on Prescott National forest ranges on short-time permits expiring June IS and 30, 10,026 head have been taken off the ranges dur ing spring removals, according to figures made public yesterday by As sistant Forest Supervisor Robert Munro. Of this removal, some of the stock has been sold, some simply moved to other ranges.
 Losses through drouth on ranges bordering the desert have amounted to between and 10 per cent since the first of the year, forest service records state. Losses were heaviest on the lower ranges, the higher browse ranges reporting little loss through drouth. Drouth loss from now on, Munro stated, will be prac- tically nothing, recent rains having put the ranges into fine shape and the cattle being in good condition. After fall removals, the range should be frightened sufficiently to carry the remaining stock through the winter with an avoidance of troubles caused last year by drouth and overstock- ing.
 Data on stock removals under short-time permits, is being collected by the service for its annual grazing report, and for information requested by the Arizona Cattle Growers as- sociation.

A Hero and a Sofa

Any one who cares to contend
that it is confusing world in which
we move need not exercise great
effort to secure evidence sustaining
his point. With our larger wisdom
it is quite possible, even intellec-
tually and wholly apart from relig-
ious faith, to perceive scheme Of
things that operates steadily to
bring every item in The world closer
to its appointed goal. But that is
basic and behind the scenes. To
the casual observer there is much,
kery much, to back the view Of the
ancientest Greeks, who looked upon
the gods in charge as very fallibIe
beings, intervening constantly in the
universe from passion or caprice.
Take, for instance, two items of
news in yesterdays paper. One de-
scribed Michael OIeary, the original
Of Shaw's O'Flaherty, V. c., job
hunting on Broadway. The other
was headed simply but completely:

Dyestuffs and National Defense

The permanent tariff bill which
the House Ways and Means Commit
tee is preparing is practically certain
to contain revised dycstuffs sched-
ule to protect against the present
food of German dye products. The
American dyestuffs industry, stimu-
lated by the war, is just now strug-
Cling to establish itself, but is in
grave danger of being overwhelmed.
The protection of the dyemaking
industry is more than an economic
expedient. 1t is a military neces-
sity. In some respects it is the basic
war industry. Joseph H.. Choate jr.,
counsel for the Chemical Founda-
ton, recently declared most perti-
nently: "Ihe great war began as
100 per cent explosive war. 1t
ended as a 55 per cent chemical
war"
A nation unarmed chemically is
New-York tribune., 1921-04-02

not adequately equipped either for
offense or defense. Germany can
disarm in the ordinary sense, but
will remain armed, In fact, so long
as she possesses superiority in the
chemical industry. The United
States thus cannot safely allow its
growing chemical industry to be
smothered. Germany may he ex-
pected to resort to almost any
means to regain her ante-war
position. But tariff duties alone are
not enough to protect. For ma
tional defense system Of licensing
is needed--or, better yet, exclusion
at The discretion of a national
commission.
An emergency dyestuff tariff bill,
with a licensing provision. passed
the House of Representatives last
year, but failed in the Senate. Some
domestic manufacturers opposed the
license system. But opposition TO it
has died down, and either a license
or an exclusion bill is likely to be
passed by this Congress.
The British and French govern
ments both have enacted license and
exclusion legislation RS a means of
military projection. The United
States would be foolish not to do
likewise.
New-York tribune., 1921-04-02
The Doctor

'ihc alleged rapacity Of doctors is
one Of the meancst Of libels. 1t is con-
tradictcd by common knowledge and
everyday experience. The physi-
clan who thinks first Of his fee is
rarity.
The young woman Of Trenton
who was ready to sell herself in
marriage for $1,000 to pay for an
operation on her mother need only
have gone to the nearest hospital
and not cent would have been
asked. A Brooklyn doctor few days
ago got up from sickbcd to take
bullet from the brain Of an insane
prisoner. His fee was--nothing.
From the time Of Galen the medi-
cal profession has been the butt of
the testers. Most Of tho jokes are
variants Of "Thc surgeon burics his
mistakes" Addison, in The Spec
tator, thought it good humor TO
write: eve may lay it down as
a maxim, that when q nation
abounds in physicians it grows thin
OF people. This body of men
IN our own country may be described
like the British army in Casar's
time. Some Of them slay in chariots
and some on foot. If the infantry
do less execution than the chario-
teers it is because they cannot be
carried so soon into all quarters
OF the town and dispatch so much
business in SO short time"
Yet there were doubtless fifty
doctors in London who would have
given their days and nights to
Addison, though he hadn't guinea
to pay.
1t is only in modern letters that
we find real appreciation Of one of
the noblest Of professionalism the
poems, for example, of William
Ernest Henley, who knew what it
meant to be In Hospital. It is
good to feel that these lines from
his sonnet "The Chief" truly ex-
press sentiment that is general
to-day:
II envy scout, If ignorance deny
His faultless patience, his unyiclding
will,
Beautiful gentleness and splendid skill,
lnnumcrablc gratitudes reply.
Doctors are no doubt lower than
the angels, but in whose daily labor
is there more Of unselfsh service to
fellow human beings?
New-York tribune., 1921-04-02
Who Began 1t?

The Willard committee, a self-ap-
pointed body which has been investi-
eating Irish conditions by hearing
witnesses, drawn, as it acknowl-
edges, solely from one side, finds the
British government responsible for
the terror in Ireland.
Passing over the question Of the pro-
priety Of citizens of one country, on no
better basis than an er parte inquiry,
entering oracular Judgment against
the honor of the government Of an
other friendly country, the commit
tee is eloquently silent as to one
phase of the subject it studies. 1t
apparently never thought Of asking
who started The terror. It seems to
regard this interrogatory as wholly
irrelevant. Yet even small boy
thinks it is pertinent to consider who
began q complained-of row by throw
ing the first brick.
The British Embassy says that
ninety-two policemen, practically
all Of them Irishmen, were mur-
dered, somo Of them when coming
from mass unarmed, before there
was a case of reprisal by their com
rades or any one else. Is this so?
II so, it is hardly profitable to make
comparisons with Belgium. One
does not recall that the Belgians
killed a single German before the
Germans began killing Belgians.
