MCLEAN IN HOSPITAL.
Reported Improving From Neuritis and
Breskd0Wn In Paris

PARIS. December is OP.-Edward B.
Mclean. former publisher of the Wash
ington Post, who was reported today
to have obtained 4 divorce At Riga,
Latvia, Is In the American Hospital here
where he has been . patient for the past
three months.
His physician said he had been sur
fering from neuritiS and o general
breakdown. but Is improving and went
motoring briefly this morning, his first
outing In two months. He probably
will be at the hospital fer another
month.
His attorney said Mr. Mclean had
made personal appearance at the Riga
court at the time the divorce application
was Ned year ago, that he still has
q residence at Riga and that he received
confirmation through his local attorney
that the divorce was upheld by the
Latvian courts.

Attorney Issues Statement.

Attorney Issues Statement.
Nelson T. Harrison, one of Mrs. Nc
Leans attorneys, when asked to COM
ment on the report from Riga. Latvia,
that Edward B. Mclean had secured a
divorce from his wife, Evalyn Walsh
Mclean, issued the following statement
Il have been authorized by Mrs. Nc
Lean to release the following statement
in her name
Mr.. Mclean is now in the American
Hospital In Paris. where he has been
under treatment for three months as q
result Of a complete breakdown. I am
ADVISED by my attorneys that Latvian
divorce law requires the personal ap-
pearance before the Latvian court of at
least one witness who can testify of his
own personal knowledge to essential
facts regarding the marriage of the
parties. Obviously Mr.. Mclean could
not have been in Latvia personally at
the time the divorce was granted. and
so Tar as know, there is no one in Eu-
rope who could honestly testify to the
essential facts on which divorce could
be secured. From this. it is apparent
that II the report is true that divorce
has been granted in Latvia, fraud has
been perpetrated on that court My
lawyers further advise me that the in
junction issued out of the Supreme
Court Of the District of Columbia last
year Is still in effect. This order spe-
ciflcally restrains Mr.. Mclean and
his agents and attorneys from
prosecuting his Latvian suit. The
granting Of any divorce in Latyia is,
therefore, in violation Of our court S
order and would not be recognized by
the courts of this country. What steps
I shall take. If any, must be decided on
by my counsel
In Touch With Husband
This report, If true, is complete
surprise to me- Since Mr.. Mclean en-
tered the American Hospital in Sep
tember, have been in constant touch
with DR.. Edmund Gros, head of the
institution. The hospital authorities
have been under instructions from me
to give Mr.. Mclean every care and at
tention that his condition demanded.
The most recent reports from DR.. Gros
have been that Mr.. Mclean is still q
very sick man and would require the
utmost care for many months to come.
My information is that Mr.. Mclean is
now and has been for at least three
months in no condition to transact
business or attend to his own affairs.

ACCIDENTS AND GOOD ROADS.

1.-THE charge has been made tina,
the so-called safe roads are in reality
more hazardous" says Maxwell Halsey
of the National Bureau of Casualty
and Surety Underwriters. "This grows
out Of the fact that many newly con-
structed streets and highways have
had worse accident records than had
the old ones. The fallacy in their
statement, however, lies in calling the
new roadways more safe It is true
that they would have been more safe
If the speed and volume Of travel to
which the older types of roads were
subjected, had continued, but such has
not been the case.
Each year the Individual desires to
get from point "a to point 'B more
quickly and with greater comfort. His
first request was get me out of the
mud and so the authorities strove
desperately to improve the surface of
the roadway. The expansion of paved
and improved surfaces was rapid and
thorough and the complaints died
away. Then the cry was give us
faster cars. The automobile industry
was quick to sense the demand and
soon even the most inexpensive cars
had much higher economical and
comfortable speeds. The manufacture
ers won the race and succeeded in
providing more and faster cars than
the roadways were prepared for.
MANY of the engineers settled back
in their chairs and said this speed
question is simply matter of ade-
quate enforcement They forgot,
however, that the function of the
police is not necessarily to enforce the
letters of the law--but to enforce the
law to exactly that extent to which
the people want it enforced.
"The more opportunities there are
for accidents, or rather actions which
result in them, the more you will
Rave. 1T is fundamental that safety
and facility should be built into the
highway. The street and highway
should be constructed so as to make
it as difficult as possible for the
motorist to have an accident or to
cause congestion. The control of traf-
fic should take its cue from industry
and other fields where accidents and
congestion are made less frequent
through design Good design can
make practically automatic the obedi-
ence of many regulations intended to
reduce accidents. This will provide
more positive control and should ma
terially reduce the cost of patrol and
enforcement
