DIVORCE ORDER
MEETS APPROVAL
Judge Satisfied Practice
Will be Reduced and
Result Beneicially
Attorneys TO be Better Protected
From Imposition by lit'gants
and Lawyers

It is the belief of many in this city
that the divorce practice here will be
practically revolutionizcd by the ac-
ton of Judge Moncure in establishing
a rule Of the coruoration court which
embod,es the spirit and substance of
the bill drafted by the committee III.
vestigating divorce conditions and
which is now pending in the State Leg
islature.
Judge Moncure issued this order yes
.erdav afternoon and but for a fcw
minor changes in the language and the
elimination of the provision prevent
ing the issuance of divorce decree
until three monthes after the instltu-
ton of a suit. it is substantially the
same as the committees pending bill.
The Judge is satisfied that his ord":
will reduce the divorce practice. and
will make it more difficult for persons
to obtain divorce and that the re-
suits will be generally beneficial u
the community and the commonwealth.
He believes also that members of the
bar and the court itself will. as a re-
suit of this rule. be better protected
from imposition by litigants anxious
to obtain divorce and who in the past
because Of the indcfinttencss of the
law have been able to take advantage
of their attorneys and the court.

Conference
IGNORED BY FRENCH
British Premier is Urged to Take the
Public In.o His Full Confidence

Paris, Feb. i5.-It is no secret-ex-

that the big issue at the Genoa Con-
ference, wether it be held on schedule
ed date or postponed, will be neither
reparations, stabiliZation of exchange
economic equilibrium or war debts.
The overwhelming important thing
there will be the reduction of land

the British are preparing land army
reduction plan which will be sprung
when the conference opens. Every
well-informed politician in France and
England knows these two things.
Every Prime Minister in Europe
knows them. In fact wide spread pub
licity has been given them in an in
naencia section of the English press.
Yet the French politicians and the
French newspapers daily discuss every
angle and every othe possible question
that can arise at Genoa except this one.
So complete and conspicuous is the
omission from all the hundreds OF ar
ticlcS and editorials that crowd the
French press Of any reference to the
fact that the reduction of military
forces is bound to be the pivot at Ge-
nna that the conclusion is forced that
there is a definite policy not TO dis

In English circles it is asserted, that

He Is Expected to Recon-.

Another Year
REPUDIATES PLANS
Is Opposed to Eond Issue and to all
Suggested New Forms of Taxes For
Revenue

Washington, Feb. 15.--President
Harding either will recommend to
Congress u further postponement Of
soldier bonus legislation or will sug-
gest means of raising the necessary
money not now under consideration
by fiscal committees of the House
and Senate.
The Administrations policy for
dealing with what has developed into
the most embarrassing and bewild.
ering problem Of the last year will
be set forth concretelv in a commun
ication which Mr.. Harding expects
to lay before the joint committee of
Congress, now in a state OF utter
indecision regarding the bonus bus
mess.
This committee, of members of the
Finance and Ways and Means Com
mittees, held another fruitless ses.
sion yesterday and adjourned to
await receipt Of the Presidents mem
orandum. No progress was made al
the Capitol toward solution Of the
bonus issue The bonus situation
again caused debate on the Senate
floor and Senator King. Democrat, OF

/ Senator Tom Watson, Of Georgia, re.
piled to Senator Borah's speech OF
Monday.
Before announcing informally that
. he would transmit his views il writ
ing to the committee, the President
with positiveness. renudiated every
plan that had been publicly proposed
for financing deferred compensa
ton" for former service men.
He let it be known first Of all tha'
he was uncompromisingly opposed t.
an issue of Government bonds. tha'
is an increase in the public debt II
order to provide the bonus money.
At the same time he let it be known
that he could not consent to the form:
of taxation which the Joint commit
tee had considered. following sug
eestions from Secretary of thE
Treasury Mellon. He rejected ais
the proposal that such abandoned
sources of revenue as profits ant
higher incomes be levied upon once
more.
! Previously the President had pu'
/ his foot down upon the proposal thai
: the former service men be compensa

Harding let it be understood ther
that to promise war veterans pay

Dublin. Feb. 15.-The British Gov.
ernment's cessation of military evac
nation has caused great apprehension
here. as it is thought by many lead
ing Irshmen that this act plays III
rectly into the opponents Of the
Ang glo-lrish treaty.
Prompt fulflment Of the LoHdon's
Governments promise to evacuate
Southern Ireland had created the
general impression here that the
British were acting in good faith. and
that the powers granted to South
ireland by the treaty were real
The handing OYER to the Irish Of
the barracks. and their occupation by
troops of the Republican party had Il
siilar effect. The interruption in
evacuation is considered in manv
quarters as indicating a decided
change Of front on the part Of
tho British Cabinet.
II is not believed ;hat the military
authorities in Dublin are responsible
for the move. II was learned vestcr-
day that the Cabinet was not sun
posed by the Provisional Government
to have been consulted on the sus-
pension of evacuation. and Michael
Collins takes the view that it is a
fresh example Of mcddlin% by the
War Office. "acting in the old spirit"
One explanation offered here for
the suspension of evacuation is that
in view of recent incidents in South
crn ireland. the local commanders
refused 10 take the risk 10 the men
