More than that. Were Franco and Germany at war, It would be possible for England to- stab her. rival in the back while the Frenoh army was being maasacred and thus occupying German attention. Of course, the resjult of the filan would be much more certain still f Germany found a third power' lined up against her. And so, forgetting her old-age hatred of Russia, England has not hesitated one Instant to offer friend ship to the hated Russians, if only they will Join- her In destroying her terrible commercial rival.- Under such -circumstances, the Euro pean conflagration is Inevitable though It needs .courage to. say it.

CAII DETECT AH ATOM OF SOLID Prof. Rutherford, Expert on Radio ctjtykes a Successful Experiment. London. Nov. 28. Prof feasor Ernest Rutherford, director of the physical laboratories at Manchester university, and one of the world's foremost author ities on radio-activity, details in a com munication addressed to the Scientific WppVIv the nature of certain experi ments which, in addition to Important results from the pofet of-view of radio active data, are noteworthy from the I fact that during their progress It was ror me nrsi time punaiuic ucici single atom of matter. This can be done in two ways, one electrical and the other optical. , ( The possibility of the detection of a single atom of matter Is due to the great energy of motion of alpha parti- j cles, which, as Professor Rutherford I showed In 1903, are veritable atoms of! matter, wnicn are ejeciea irom active matter at a speed of about 10, 000 miles per second. Professor Ruth erford's more recent experiments show that 188,000,000 alpha particles are ex pelled every second from one milligram of radium In a radio-active equilibrium. "From the point of view of modern theorv.' says Professor Rutherford, "the appearance of an alpha particle is the sign of a violent atomic explosion, in which , the fragment of an atom an alpha particle is ejected at a high speed. In a majority of known active substances the expulsion of an alpha psrtlcle accomplishes the transforma tion of one substance into another, and the decrease of the atomic mass con sequent upon the loss Of an alpha par ticle at once offers a reasonable ex planation of the appearance of an en tirely new kind of matter In place of Professor Rutherford reverts - to his old suggestion, made In 1905. that very probably the alpha particle is an atom of helium, carrying two unit charges, and he refers to the difficulty of prov ing or disproving experimentally the correctness -of this hypothesis, although the settlement of this question has been for the last few years the most Import ant problem in radio-activity, because the proof that the alpha particle is an atom of helium carries numerous con sequences of the first importance In Its trs.tn Professor Rutherford now asserts that his recent experiments have thrown fur ther light on this question and have led to Important conclusions in several di rections. The description of the experi ments Is too technical to be gone into here; but Professor Rutherford consid ers that they demonstrate the correct ness of his theory that the alpha par ticle must be an atom of helium carry ing a double charge, or, in other words, that an alpha particle, when its charge is neutralised is a helium atom. It must be concluded, he says, that atoms of known radio-active slements are In part, at least, constituted of helium atoms, which sre liberated at definite stages during disintegration. - Professor Rutherford's concluslonls put with characteristic modesty: 'It may be of Interest to note." he savs. "that the experimental ,results recorded In this article lead to experiments! proof, if proof be needed, of the cor rectness of the atomic hypothesis with regard - to the- discrete structure of mstter." . This Is truly a modest claim to vic tory In the greatest sclentifle battle of the century. .-' '- - .' In response to ' a message from the correspondent of the New -York Times, Professor Frederick.

(Hearst News by Longest Leased Wire.) Baltimore, Md., Nov. .-"Shocking,1 "appalling," and "striking at the very roots of our social system,", were terms applied today by Cardinal Gibbons, the most eminent prelate of the' Catholic -church in America, in discussing the divorce facts as set forth in the figures that have Just been given out by the census bureau. These figures show a startling growth in the divorce evil In the United States, disclosing that one marriage In 12 ends in divorce and that divorces are two and one half times as common as 40 years ago.' Y Cardinal Gibbons, who- Is' supremely Interested In the divorce evil, and who has for years preached and written against It. has studied the -statistics th government has just given out and Is deeply Impressed by them. He believes the divorce evil can be cured only by a deeper regard for the teachings of the church and that society should shun those who are divorced Instead of re ceiving the divorced woman or man, as it now does, as u nothing bad happened nearly Bams aa Tree' Xats. "The statistics given out by the census bureau." said Cardinal Gibbons. "are simply shocking. The revelations are nothing less than appalling. The extent of the divorce evil is so great as to strike at the very roots of our so cial system. I myself am writing and speaking constantly on this subject and I am' In sympathy with any effort to check the growth of divorce in this country. . "The government figures show that divorces are multiplying about three times as fast as the population. They disclose that one marriage in 13 ends in divorce. The figures are the more striking when considered by the siJe of the figures of Canada, for Instance, wnere the number of divorces is rela tively small. "Divorce Is becoming so prevalent that marriage Is getting to be little bet ter than a system of free love. Divorcees Should Be Shunned- "People are too much bent, on plea sure. Men and women enter the mar riage state without regard to the sacred nature of the bond they tare undertak ing. They look too much upon life with Regard only to what pleasure they can get out .er it and with too little re gard for that solemn word 'duty.' ''Whereydoes the fault lie? Is it in our system of education? .No, it is the result or a raise, loose interpretation or the gospel. Every one of the gospels Is opposed to divorce. If divorce Is to be checked there must be a stricter regard for the truths or the Christian religion as they are taught by. the Catholic church.' If we profess to be Christians, let us Je- Christians. t i. "A reason why divorce is on the In crease la found In the attitude of so ciety -toward persons who are di vorced. rln rormer times a woman wno was divorced was shunned. She wss not received or recognized in good so ciety and was frowned upon. Now this Is ' not-the , case. If divorce Is to be checked . let the divorced person be shunned. , - - - Make Xews More Severe. "To what extent Is the law responsible?;:- "Of -course the laws on the subject of divorce are . responsible to some ex lent.. ,Thev should be made more severe. As la well known they differ in differ ent states and are in many cases lax, A man forms an attachment for a unman, -or a woman for a man. and. regardless of any existing marriage honda. they determine to marry. Under the laws they find this easily possible. I noticed whst the census statistics showed as to the decrease of the mar riage rate in times of depression. It Is natural that this should be Ihe case and that people should the more readily con tract marriage when times are prosperous..- . "Without going Into the question of the- relation of economic conditions to divorce, I may say that I hope that we are on the verge of greater prosperity and better times." Cardinal Gibbons emphasized the grave dangers to civilisation if the di vorce evil was to go on unchecked and the rate of Increase shown to have taken place In the last 0 years was per mitted to continue. He was fully con vinced i that no subject could better occupy the attention of the thinking minds of the nation. LOST BOY WANDERS IN MARSH TWO DAYS (raited Press Leased Wlrt.l Oakland, Cal.. Nov. 28. After being lost on the marshes near Alviso, wan dering about In the mud and rowing vainly about on the water in an open boat for two days, without sufficient clothing and no food, 14-year-old Thom as Losbach returned to his home in Fruitvale. near here, today. He Is ex hausted from his efforts to find his way out of the marshes and from exposure, but no serious results are feared. Losbach is the son of August Los bach, a wealthy merchant of Fruitvale. When he did not return at the expected time his parents started a search for him. No trace could be found and they had almost given up hope of seeing him alive, when he reached home.

(United Press Leased Wlrs.) Chicago, Nov. .28. Professor William H. McNeil of the University of Minne sota considers the smart set and society and the smart set hobos of the same social class, so far as usefulness goes He expressed his ideas to members of the literary club of the University of Chicago. "The term 'smart set has a very re pugnant sound In my ears," he said. Pray tell me what good this species of humankind Is to the world. The smart set and the trampset, the latter you find In empty freight cars or In alleys, are both social parasites. The tramp, starved and knocked about mortal, does nothing for human progress and edifica tion. The doll headed 'smart' society woman, Is as useless." Of Ton Want One What?
