IN THE DIVORCE COURTS-
Sarah E. Petty, who was married to
Albert B Petty at Harlan, la., Septem.
ber 30, 1900. has filed a petition for di
vorce on the grounds of cruelty, custody
of minor children and alimony.
Joseph Westrup alleges that his wife,
Nettle, abandoned him. He asks for a
decree of divorce. They were married on
September 29, 1904.
Amy Murphy has filed a petition for
divorce from Fred Murphy, to whom she
was married on December 25, 1899 In
Logan, la. She asks for a decree, custody
of four children and alimony. The ages
of the children are from 2 months to 18
years.
A decree of divorce has been granted to
Essie Hayes, who charged Harry Hayes
with abandonment
Franktlaka Jan has received a decree
of divorce from George Jan, who was
charged with cruelty. Alimony of. 91,000
was also granted, ,

Fifth United States guards, now

Sixth Railway units.
Seventh Depot brigades.
Eighth Replacement units.
Ninth Combat divisions.
1,790,000 In United States.
There are now in the United
States 1.790,000 men under arms,
General March said. Orders which
will result in the immediate demo
bilization of 200,000 men are already
issued, and these men will be at
their homes in the next two weeks.
When the reduction olan is under
full operation, the chief of staff ex
plained, 30,000 men each day will
be released from the army.
.Regarding the return of troops in
France General March said the or
der in which the divisions will be
withdrawn is being left to General
Pershing. It is the intention of the
War department, however, so far as
is practicable, to return each di
vision to the locality from which the
majority of its men came and to
parade the division in adjacent cities
so that the peonle mav have a
chance to give fitting welcomes.
Return Sick at Once.
Orders have been cabled to Gen
eral Pershing to begin the return at
once of all sick and wounded, who
can be moved, and convalescents. A
steady stream of these men should
begin immediately to cross the At
lantic.
Camps at home will be cleared out
to prepare for the return of the ex
petitionary forces, and the general
indicated that the process would be
expedited. A unit of regular troops
will be left at each camp to guard
and police it in preparation for the
arrival of the overseas unit.
Tribute to Rainbow.
Because of its unusual composi
tion, treneral March said, and its
brilliant record at the front, the 42nd
(Rainbow) division will be given
special consideration in the demob
ilization plans. The purpose of the
department was not outlined specifi
cally, but the impression was gained
that the division will be paraded in
Washington before it is mustered
out.
Steps already have been taken to
ward the organization of the perma
nent army. All men now in the
army have been or will be offered
an honorable dischasge from the
emergency enlistment and an im
mediate re-enlistment in the new
forces. A furlough of one month
will be given as an incentive to re
enlistment. Wants Bonus Given.
It was announced that congress
will be asked to give each man dis
charged from the army, regardless
of whether he reinlists, a bonus of
one month's salary. General March
pointed out, also, that all soldiers
are entitled under law, to wear their
uniforms for three months after dis
charge. This will make less diffi
cult the immediate task of supply
ing civilian clothing to the demobil
ized army.
Regarding Officers.
The return pf commissioned per
sonnel of the army to civilian life,
General March said, would be af
fected by dividing the present list
of officers into three classes, those
who desire commissions in the regu
lar army, those who are willing to
hold themselves available for future
service as reserve officers, and those
who desire honorable discharge from
the service.
Instructions have been issued to
the army staff corps to carry out
reduction in their commissioned and
enlisted personnel lists, keeping
pace with the reduction of the line
forces.
General Pershing has been direct
ed to expedite complete casualty
lists of his forces, showing the
names of every man killed or wound
ed or missing up to 11 a. m., Novem
ber 11. General March would not
hazard an estimate as to what the
final total would be.
Replying to a question as to the
number of American prisoners in
Germany he said official records up
to October IS gave the total as
5,738.
General March sketched the offi
cial line held by the allied armies
and the Americans along the west
front when the fighting stopped.
The front held by the First and
Second American armies at that
hour measured 52 miles. Of the
American force General March said:
"It had reached its highest point
of military excellence on the day the
fighting stopped and had endeared
itself to the hearts of the American
people."
Ports of the Atlantic coast from
Boston to Charleston, S. C, Gen
eral March said, are being organ
ized to handle returning troops, and
it is possible that ports south of
Charleston will be used.

Kirby Freed on Charge
of Nonsupport Made
by Dissatisfied Wife
Bert Kirby, 1510 Jones street, an
employ of the Graham Ice Cream
company, was arraigned in police
court Saturday morning, charged
with desertion and non-support. Hi?
wife, who lives at 1919 Lake street,
filed the complaint.
A divorce proceeding was filed in
district court last April, and, accord
ing to evidence introduced, Kirby
has been paying his wife $32 a
month since that time. Mrs. Kirby
asserts this amount is insufficient.
Kirby, who delivers ice cream,
stated that his wife has a list of the
customers he delivers to, and that
every day she calls them up and

High Cost of Living Jumps
129 Per Cent Since 1914
London, Oct. 15. The cost of liv
ing is still rising and, according to
the Labor Gazette, the retail prices I
of principal articles of food during !
September averaged 129 per cent
higher than July, 1914, or 13 per cent
increase, compared with the previous
month. The increase is due to the
higher prices of meat, butter, milk
and eggs.
Mr. Wm. Hohenzollern
Distinguished Guest,
Say Dutch Officials
Amercngen Holland, Nov. 16.
Wiyiam Hohenzollern has not
been interned by the Netherlands
government. He is regarded rather
as a distinguished foreigner who
has sought refuge and who has a
claim to protection.
Presumably he is free to go
where he likes, but the fact that his
suite has actually been interned
restricts his movement.
Count Von Bentwick explained
today that the former crown
prince, as well as the former em
peror, ceased to e soldiers when
they abdicated. Nothing is known
at the castle concerning the form
er emperor's future movements or
as to the whereabouts of the
former empress.
The former emperor was seen
today strolling about the castle
grounds with Count Von 'Bent
wick and the count's son. He
wore a gray military overcoat.
The members of the former em
peror's suite today surrendered
their swords to Dutch officers.
They had previously surrendered
their other arms and today's for
mality completed the act of internment.
