DUBLIN, July 29-Travelers In DubCharles Evans Hughes, secretary of ' nn today who said they saw Eamon state, resorts to direct action when De Valera at Clonmel early this week
confronted with such a situation. Recently, while he was strolling along Sixteenth street, Washington's fashionable thoroughfare, Mr. Hughes discovered that one of his "sock supporters' was dragging along the sidewalk. Without a moment's hesitation, ho placed a foot against a shade tree, hitched up the trouser leg high enough to expose a well-developed calf, and snapped the garter into place, calmly oblivious to the amused glances of the passerby. Mr. Hughes handles a diplomatic situation the same way that he handled his unruly garter. Senator James E. Watson ,of Indiana, confesses that one of the important reasons he is anxious to return to his native state to take part in the fall campaign, is to get his fill of Indiana pie. Two years ago, while campaigning in the southern part of the state, the senator relates, he entered a restaurant in a small town and was waited upon by the proprietor. "John, what kind of pie have you today?" the senator inquired. "Only got three kinds today, Jim covered, cross-barred and open-faced," replied John, with a slight twinkle in ; his eyes. The Soviet government of Russia recently entered into a postal agreeI ment to accept and distribute foreign mails, including cost packages of a weight not exceeding 11 pounds. Soon after this agreement was promulgated, the post office department has been notified by Representative Elliott, of Indiana, a resident of . Richmond, Ind., sent a package of underwear, weighing exactly 11 pounds, according to the scales in the Richmond postoffice, to a brother in Petrograd.

Refuse Pere Marquette Permit to Abandon Lines (Bv Associated Press WASHINGTON. D. C. July 29 The Pere Marquette railroad was denied permission today by the Interstate commerce commission to abandon two of its branch lines in Michigan. The company contended its branches to Freeport, a distance of six miles and between White Cloud and Big Rapids, a distance of 19 miles, had both lost money continually during several years of operation. The commission, however, held that service on the routes was necessary to the population located there and that too much maintainence and operation had been charged against the branch in question. .

Today's national army communique announced that Free State troops captured the village of Bruree, two miles from Kilmallock, last night with the insurgent occupants of the village and their arms and ammunition. The irregulars had established a strong position there ofter their retreat from Limerick. Glenveagh Castle, which far ome time has been the headquarters of irregulars in County Donegal andd from which they have conducted constant raids by roving bands, was captured by nation troops yesterday. The eight occupants of the garrison were taken prisoners, including D. J. Donovan, chief of the irregulars intelligence department and conductor of . the republican "war bulletin" service. The capture included besides arms and ammunition, . despatches containing information on the strength and movement of irregulars in that country, besides a large quanity of merchandise that had been looted from trains. The national troops also captured twenty-four irregulars nearby who were believed to have escaped from the castle while the Free State troops were approaching.

NOT TRYING TO MAKE PROHIBITION AN ISSUE IN OKLAHOMA RAGE (By Associated Press) OKLAHOMA CITY, Okla., Ju!y 29 Prohibition, which became a part of the constitutional law of Oklahoma with the admission of the state in 1907, is an issue which candidates are making no efort to revive a? the state-wide primary on Aug. 1 draws near. The only reference to the question made by any candidate for nomination which has been quoted in the press of the state, was voiced by Miss Alice Robertson, congresswoman from the Second district, who declared in the opening speech of her campaign for renomination that she stood on a dry platform. Miss Robertson asserted that her opponents had attempted to assail her attitude on the subject and invited them to bring forward an avowed wet candidate to run against her. No one acepted the invitation, and the matter has not been mentioned since. The eastern side of Oklahoma has been dry many years, even before statehood. When under federal supervision as the Indian Territory, prohibition was rigidly enforced, and dry sentiment is regarded in many quarters as firmly established. HAYS CANNOT FIND ILL IN HOLLYWOOD (By Associated Press) LOS ANGELES. July 29. Will H. Hays, president of the Motion Picture " - ,V,.-" tion or America, nas failed, after a iJiv-Luic oiuuiud here, to find "the horrors of Holly wood," he told the Hollywood Chamber of Commerce at a dinner last night. "The one bad influence in Hollyvwood is talk," said Mr. Hays. "For the life of me I cannot see the horrors of Hollywood." He said the people must have entertainment, that if they are deprived of it they will "go red" and that the right kind of motion pictures are needed. "We must remove the occasion for lies about the industry," he continued. "Ours is a duty to youth. We are not so much inttrested in the millions of dollars invested in the industry as we are in the millions of children whose morals and education are invested in it." Jesse L. Lasky told of a visit he made to Europe to view sites from which to choose a possible successor to Hollywood "as a world center for I motion picture production." "When I reported to Mr. Hays." I said Mr. Lasky, "I told him that no: maner wnai was saiu auuui iiony - wood it was the only place in the world for a motion picture production center."

Many Wealthy Americans Seek ' Divorces in Courts of Paris Proceedings May Be Brought Without Publicity in French Newspapers Judiciary of France Resents "Reno" AccusationsClaim Number of Americans Divorced Small.
(By Associated Press) " ' PARIS, July 29 The increasing number of divorces obtained in Paris by prominent Americans and other foreigners seeking relief from matrimonial infelicity has led many inquiries as to why the French capital apparently become such a Emopean Reco for discontented spouses. The chief magnet seems to lie is the fact that divorce proceedings may be brought in French courts with silent ease and completed without even friends and acquaintances aware, at least through the medium of French newspapers, that there has been the slightest ripple on the sea of domesticity. Publication of such proceedings by native newspapers is a criminal offense on the ground of lowering public morals. The newspapers may print the names of those involved. If they can obtain them, and the fact that a divorce has been granted, but nothing more. Recent publicity in the United States of some divorce of American in Paris has caused unpleasant feeling of apprehension among attorneys for others who have been contemplating divorce action. Several cases of Americans are reported to have been taken to Tours, Bennes and other provincial cities, both for the still greater seclusion offered and because the provincial court calendars are not over j crowded as those in Paris. French Requirements, provisional decrees usually may be O0ainea m France in from one to mree montns, ana rinal decrees 60 days thereafter. The complainant must establish residence in France, but a declaration that he intends to stay indefinitely is held to be sufficient, or the inclusion among his papers of a years' lease on an anartmpnt The second essential condition is that the defendant must appear before the court in person, or through counsel if ne is a resident of France. But if the defendant lives outside the country, as in the case of Americans, notice must be given through the state department. There are three grounds for divorce in France: adultery, conviction of a felony and cruelty. Both physical violence and mental anguish are accepted under the heading of cruelty. Neither party to a divorce is allowed to re-marry in France within 10 months becaus of the question of custody and sustenance fo.- the children. Situation Scandal.

FALL OF KRONEN. : 4 , '' ''4 t 4 Charles F. Beach, an American lawyer in Paris, today. "There is no suggestion of Reno in the attitude of the French courts, but French judges are not aware of the advantage that is being take nof them by Americans who are procuring divorces. Thes divorces are generally of no value in the United States, but Americans obtain them and they may hold until their validity is contested. Any kind of rope of sand will hold until it's pulled." At the ministry of justice the sug gestion that Paris is becoming a sec ond Reno for American divorces is not well received. M. Lemeerieux, first assistant to Minister of Justice Barthou, said today that France was a liberal country regarding divorces having been the first continental country to grant them to foreigners, under the law of 1SS4, and that possibly Paris was being visited for this pur pose just as Fiume was such a resort for Italians because of the lack of a divorce law in Italy. Resent Charges. M. Wells, director of civil affairs at the ministry of justice, said he did not think it "logical that France should be looked upon in the United States as a country wnere mvorces couia o? easily obtained since there were fewer legal grounds for divorces here than in America. Generally speaking France grants divorces to foreigners if their own countries permit divorce. Judges dur ing the last few years have been tak ing a more lenient view toward appli cations for divorce by foreigners. Pre viously the applicants usually were j notified that they should apply for divorces in their own countries. H. E. Barrault, a French advocate who has made inquiries into the number of divorces granted to Americans in French courts, says there have not been more than 20 in any one year, 'but that the divorcees mostly were prominent rich persons, wnicn accounts for the great publicity given in the American press. This gives the appearance of a much larger number of divorces, he says, than are really obtained, because of the fact that practically all of them are striking personalities who merely find Paris a more pleasant place to live than some American cities where divorces would be a; easily obtained.

REPORT CONGESTION J INBR1TISHP0RTS HALTS COAL EXPORT
(By Associated Press) LONDON, July 29. Congestion Id British ports is beginning to threaten interference with the export of coal to America which nas taken such a boom Bince the beginning of the strike of the American coal miners. This is particularly true of Wales and Northumberland. The loading facilities are limited by the two shift arrangement which the dock-workers imposed upon their emnlovers dnrinr the war. Loading is enis considered possible that they may raise this claim now. Lnless tnis is conceded by the workers it seems that some of the collieries both north and south may be kept idle periodically, owing to the lack of facilities for shifting coal already mined. One result of this congestion has been curtailment in freight rates which in some cases dropped from 16 and 17 shillings to 12 shillings six pence per ton between Thursday and Friday. Another result is the apparent tendency on the part of American buyers to withhold further orders temporarily pending developments in America. Nowhere is there reported any general support among British miners of the action taken by the Welsh unit of the Miners' Federation, which declared against the exportation of coal to the ITnited States.
