regarding American participation
in world affairs as a violation of
one of the Presidents prediction
promises, was sent today by Mrs.
Ray Lyman Wilbur, wife of the

gram read:
1--WE protest against the unau-
thorized statement of Mr.. Harvey
that America would not directly or
indirectly have anything to do with
any association of nations. We feel
that as American citizens we have
been grossly misrepresented since
we were assured by you in pre-
election telegram that the United
States would enter an association OF
nations"

NE CALLS DIVORCE 3
PERIL TO NATION
Bishop Burgess Tells Clergy We
Near Moral I.axness That
Ruined Rome

New York City, May 23.-Ameri-
ca, with its present-day sex stand
ards and particularly It's divorce
system, is fast approaching the
moral laxness that caused Rome to
fall, declared Bishop Frederick Bur-
CESS of Long Island delivering to
the several hundred Episcopal
clergymen of his diocese, assembled
in convention, his annual message.
In a scathing arrangement OF
modern tendencies, the Bishop
strongly criticised our novels. our
dances, our plays and the gowning
of our young women. And in strong
words he admonished his clergy as
to the care they must pursue in re-
marrying persons who had been d.
vorced, for it lies within their prov
ince, he said, to lessen the evils of
divorce.
Bishop Burgess began his talk,
which was given in the Cathedral
Of the Incarnation, by painting a
picture of ancient Rome, the fall OF
which was produced by the laxity
and rottenness of the laws of mar
riage.
He told how the slaves, numeri-
cally one-fourth of the poulation.
, were not allowed to marry at all;
how divorce was absolutely free to
Ill men; how there was scarcely a
Roman, society woman who had not
been divorced at least two or three
times; how family life was debauch-
ed and destroyed. Then he went on
"This low standard of sexual
morality in Roman society we seem
to be fast approaching here in
America. l have no statistics with
which to startle you. Indeed, we do
not need any. Divorce is all around
us. Our newspapers tell the sicken-
ing story so far as society is con-
cerned, but the divorce mills are
for all, and, unlike the mills of the
gods, they do not grind slowly.
"The divorce business has be-
come the most lucrative of the law
and if now the church were to arise
to it's apostolic strength and affect
the trading in divorces, just as the
church in st. Paul's time, by preach
ing against idolatry, diminished the

demand for the little silver statues
of Diana, there are some lawyers
who would say, as the representa-
tives of the Silversmiths' Union said
at the mass meeting in Ephesus,
Sirs, we know that by this craft
we have our wealth"
All down the centuries, Bishop
Burgess then declared, two theories
of marriage had contended-one,
that it is simply sensuous physi-
cal relationship given authorization
by law through a contract omar
riage); and the other that 1t is
sacrament, based upon the sacred
writ: "A man shall leave his faith
err and mother and cleave to his
wife and they twain will go one
flesh. What therefore God hath
Joined together let no man put
asunder."

Attitude

New York, May 24.-Pro-League
Republicans, headed by Prof. Irving
Fisher of Yale, TO-DAY sent a cable
message to Lord Robert Cecil pro-
testing against Ambassador George
Harvey's recent declaration that the
election OF President Warren @.
Harding decided against Americas
entrance into the League of Ma
lions.
The message embraced the fol-
loving resolution adopted last night
at a meeting Of the Pro-League Re-
publican Independents:
Resolved, That the delegates of
the Pro-League Republican Inde-
pendents, nationwide organiza-
ton, convey to Lord Robert Cecil
and the League of Nations union,
the firm assurance that sentiment
in America is still strong for the
League of Nations. Many Of the
foremost Republicans, including
Charles Evans Hughes, now Secre-
tary of State; Herbert Hoover, now
Secretary of Commerce.; former
President w. H. Taft, and Elihu
Root urged the election of Mr.. Har.
ding to the Presidency on the
grounds that his election was the
surest way for Americas entrance
into the league.

Americas entrance into the League
of Nations, as asserted by Mr.. Har'
vey."

KENTUCKY JDRIST GETS
IMPORTANT POST
Charles Kerr, of Lexington, Ar.
pointed Judge OF the
Canal Zone

Washington, May 30.-President
Harding has nominated Judge Char
les Kerr, of Lexington, KY. to be
Judge of the Panama Canal zone.
Judge Kerr was born in Mason
County and is about Sc years old.
He was educated in the country
schools of his native county and
through reading. He is an example
of one whose law training came
solely through reading law" as he
never attended college.
About 35 years ago he came to
Lexington and entered the law office
of Breckenridge and Shelby. After
remaining there for several years
he went to the Office of Breckenridge
and Thornton, where he remained
until the firm dissolved partnership
due to the death of Mr.. Breckin-
ridge.
After that Judge Kerr practiced
law by himself for several years
until his appointment ten years ago
| by Governor Augustus Wilson to
the Fayette circuit bench to fill the
vacancy caused by the death of
Judge Watts Parker. When that
time expired he was elected without
opposition and four years ago was
elected over w. p. Kimball.
Judge Kerr has a reputation as
a public speaker and last fall was
active in support of President Har-
ding. He also is in demand as a
banquet speaker and is noted for
his humor.
| The new federal Judge was mar
ried In October, 1895. to Miss Lin
da Payne, OF Lexington. and they
have two children. Charles Kerr,
Jr.. a student at Boston Tech. and
Margaret Howard Kerr. His moth
err. Mrs. Elizabeth Kerr. 81 years
old, lives In Florida with his sister
Miss Bessie Kerr. and his brother
Samuel Kerr. Two other brothers
william Kerr and sHarry Kerr. live
in Kansas City and New Orleans
respectively.

MARTIAL LAW IN
 IRELAND SUCCESS
Sim Fein Army Organization Breaking, Declares Brit
 iSh Commander
By Associated Press

l Cork, January 2o.--In the first formal interview given to the press since he ] came to Ireland. Major General Strick- land, in command of the troops, told the Associated Press today that martial law was proving a success. He discussed the reprisals and his letter to the acting lord mayor explaining that he expected aid from the citizens in the shape of a vigilance committee of some kind to sup ply information to the military He did not allude to his report on the burning of Cork.
 Among the interesting statements made by General Strickland was one that women carried weapons concealed in their skirts to the ambushing forces. He declared he did not expect immediate results from martial law, but even before 1t was imposed the murder gang was finding it impossible to live at home and had begun to form flying columns in the Macroom district and parts of Tip perary and Kilkenny
 "The first result of martial law was to make the columns more active" he said. The definite thing we are ac- ccmplishing is the breaking of the or ga ntzation of the republican army. Until martial law was declared that organza- tion was remarkably efficient, it's forma- tions were almost as well organized as those qf the British army.
 Tt might be taken as too optimistic to say that the present operation of the republican army are it's dying kick, but believe that to be a fact. How long they can keep going is a matter of con- lecture. But it is only a question of time"
 In reply to 8 question as to what re- suits had been obtained up to the pres ent by proclama tions demanding the sue render of arms, General Strickland ad- mitted it probably was true that the number of arms personally surrendered could be counted on rne fingers of one hand, but added.
 "In one way or another arms are coming in.'
 General Strickland spoke bitterly of the part he alleged women were taking as arms bearers.
 The military are not making war on women or interfering with them in any way,' he said, "so the difficulty in get ting arms in the possession of the women may be imagined"
 Concerning the suggestion that the people of Cork form a vigilance com mittee, the general remarked
 sixteen months ago when I first came to Ireland. County Clare was hotbed of repu blican activity"

FOREIGN ATTITUDE TOWARD MERCHANT
 MARINE ATTACKED
By Associated Press

Washington, January 20-Direct and implied criticism of the attitude of Brit ish and other foreign shipping interests toward the newly created American mer- chant marine permeated 'today's sessions of the second annual convention of the National Merchant Marine association.
 Senator Ransdell of Louisiana, as presi- dent of the association, opened the con- eention with a plea for san American merchant marine, built, owned and oper- ated by Americans without the fain.est suspicion in their makeup of foreign sympathy and Homer L. Ferguson. Newport News shipbuilder, concluded the days programme with the declaration that the United States, if pecessary, should adopt discriminatory legislation to hold it's place on the seas
 i The bombshell of the day, however, was set off by Senator Jones of Washington chairman of the Senate commerce com mittee, and author of the merchant ma rine act who told the convention that the International Mercantile Marine com pany, one of the largest American ship operating concerns, was bound by an agreement with the British admiralty to conduct It's business "in the interest of the British government and British trade. To support his statement the Washington senator read to the con vention the text of an agreement which he said the International Mercantile Ma rine had entered into in 1903 for period of 20 years, and followed this with sweeping charges of attempts by British interests, aided, he said, by certain American in- terests, Ito destroy the American mer- chant marine." The senator also declared that degnta tbiS ha Sb board had leased 40 of it's ships to the h. ternational Mercantile Marine
 Senator Jones' declarations brought an immediate reply from r. A. s. Franklin, president of The International Mercantile Marine, who accused the Washington senator of being unfair and added:
 All of these agreements to which he re- fers have been before the shipping board and have been approved Judge Payne, when he was chairman of the board, passed upon them and. said they were quite satisfactory
