Texan, Confederate Veteran, Who Firmly Refused to Swear Alle giance After War, Comes Into Fold So He Can Vote for Wilson His Career in Other Countries Since Famous Struggle Is Re markable—Served With Dis tinction in the British Forces. FORT WORTH, TEXAS, Sept. 30. William W. James has at last come into the Union. He took the oath of allegiance to the Government of the United States the other day. For more than 50 years he was an unrecon structed rebel. He fought on the Confederate side during the Civil War, and when that internecine strife was over he declared that he would never accept the amnesty that was tendered the Confederate soldiers. He had fought as a member of the notorious Quantrill band, and, rather than submit to the terms of surren der that were required of Confeder ates, he left this country, and for fifteen years he roamed over the world, fighting wherever an opportu nity was given him. He joined the foreign legion of France and served in the Franco-Prussian War. Perhaps James' most notable expe tience was in New Zealand, where he was a member of the British colo nial force that brought the Maoris, the native tribesmen, into subjection. Fought in South Seas. James won high distinction in New Zealand during the latter 70's, and it is said that he i§ entitled to a large Government grant of land in that do- | minion in payment of his military | services. Previous to going to .\'ew} Zealand he fought with the Colonials | of Australia against the native black men in Queensland. When the news reached New Zea land that the Zulus of South Africa were giving trouble, James joined an expedition that was sent to that re mote part of the British Empire. He was in many stirring ongagema-nts' against the Zulus, and wandered over & good part of the African continent. It was in 1880 that James felt a longing for home. His fighting fever Wwas over, and he sought peace and re tirement. He returned to the United States, and, after visiting scenes of his carlier exploits in Missouri and Kan 6as, he came to Fort Worth, where he has resided ever since. During all this time, however, he continued to refuse to apply for a restoration nl’l his American citizenship. He took no part in politics, and was llteral]y' & “man without a country.” Admired Wilson. James began to show an interest in the political affairs of this country When Woodrow Wilson was elected President. His admiration for Presi dent Wilson continued to increase un til he decided that he would become a Teconstructed American citizen and thus be able to vote for Wilson's re election, I He recently wrote to Svnutorl Charles A.

S i Amendment of the Church Rule ' ' of Marriage and Separation Will Be Great Point To Be Decided at St. Louis. Fight Against Prohibition of Re marriage of Innocent Parties Led by Influential Laymen. Commission Is for' Change. ST. LOUIS, Sept. 30.—~When the Ifnrty-fourth triennial convention of 'the Protestant Episcopal Church as 'semles at St. Louis, October 11, the \stage will be set for one of the sharp est controversies in the religious his ‘ltnry of this country. i The question of the attitude of the Episcopal Church in America to di vorced persons will be definitely de termined, and, if elaborate plans do not miscarry, the present policy of the church wil] be completely re versed, and, hereafter, it will be im possible for any divorced person, dur ing the life of the divorced partner, to be married by an Episcopal clergy man. Such action has been recommended by an Episcopal commission of five bishops, five clergymen and five lay | men, representing every section of the country and all shades of opinion as to church government. Theiy de liberations have been proceeding for a year and their radical recommenda tion, barring divorced persons from ‘th(- right of marriage within the church, will, admittedly, raise a con -1 troversial storm. : \ Are Ready to Fight. The advocates of the proposed re form are ready for it. They include the bulk of the clergy, who feel that the church must. at this time, regis ter its protest with all possible em phasls against the national evil of divorce, The fight against the recommend ed change will be made, largely, by the influential laity, led by several eminent clergymen. The fires of this controversy have been smoldering since the defeat of practically the same recommenda tion in the convention of 1901 in San Francisco, end again, three years later, at the Boston convention, In these futile struggles to array the church uncompromisingly against Glvorce and to interdict the mar riages of divorced persons by church canon, the successful opposition was led by the late Rev. Dr. Willlam R. Huntington, who, for a quarter of a century, was rector of Grace Church in New York City. Dr. Huntington had behind him a numerically small, but distinguished, group of clergy men and a strong lay following, headed by the late J. Pierpont Mor gan, who was a delegate to the con vention Bishop Greer, then rector of St Bartholomew's Church, stood - with Dr. Huntington throughout the fight. Defeated Once. They were beaten in the first vote lof the House of Bishops by a sub f.-mmtml majority, and again in the House of Deputies, but on the third ‘and final test they scored a victory in lt)n‘ diocesan vote, and the law of the church was preserved as it stands to day-—sanctioning marriage for the in nocent party in a divorce for adul tery | But the Clerical party, better known as the “rigorists,” did not abanden their campaign. Through the years they hLave been working steadliy to mold chureh sentiment in readiness for another determined effort to un compromisingly bar divorced persons from marriage by canon law, Advocates of the proposed canon amendment will contend that the Rrowing evil of divorce calls for this Irastic action by the church; that it Is Impossible to accurately determine who is the guilty and who the inno cent party in the average divorce: that the publie good demands a pro hibition of all such marriages to which collusive and fraudulent di vorce may have paved the way; that Holy Writ defines and determines the indissolubllity of marriage and that the clear duty of the church In this national crisis of marriage laxity is to atopt a canon that will rightly con trol marriages within the cehurch and rowerfully influence public opinion in the proper direction Some Arguments for Divorce. Opponents of the radical change in canon law, demanded by the ‘“rigor iste,” will ight with these arg iments That Christ expressly taught that the Innocent party to a divorece for adu tery was free to marry again: that the proposed legislation i a 4 long sten toward the practice of the Roman Catholle Church In prohibiting di vorce for any cause that it is an at tempt by the church to interfere in a purely civil matter, and that the pro nosed action, If taken, will only de feat its own object by driving people from the church and increasing the ovils embodied in a disregard of the marriage law . ® Destinn Is War Prisoner o e e e @ b e Love for Fiance Is Cause e e e e e LT U.

Destinn, who had announced her engagement to her “Arabian,” as she called him, has been secking his release for a year., What methods she took against the Austrian Govern ment, which she, as a Bohemian, hates, may be made the subject of in quiry.

EXTRA Allies’ Superb Aviators Make Pos sible the Scientific Co-opera tion of Artillery With Advanc ing Infantry—Avoid Mistakes. |Losses of French Cut in Half by ‘ Success of Co-ordination in Attack—Two Methods of Big Gun Fire Has Been Worked Qut LONDON, Sept. 30.—The official re port from British headquarters in ’P‘r:mce that “the preparation and ex ecution of the attack by the artillery ;;md infantry and the co-operation be ;twes—n them, were in all respects ad | mirable,” testifies to the British coms= | mander’s recognition of the advance !mudu toward a final solution of a llung-snmding problem. | The British and French losses in | the Somme operations, which began July 1, have been below the calcula tions made in advance by the general staffs of the price that would have to be paid for a highly desirable result, which could only be obtained by a thoroughly effective use of artillery. l British official dispatches have shown several instances in the past 'whvrv the artillery co-operation with infantry was faulty, and French ex perts like Captain Pierre Mille. hime« self a gunner, have admitted that dur ling the earlier stages of the war even the highly trained French artillery was unable to cope with all the diffi culties presented “All of us,” recently wrote Captain Mille, who spent the first twenty months at the front, “know that even as late as September, 1915, although we had many more heavy guns and shells, the connection between infantry and artill 'ry proved very im perfect, and was responsible for many losses.” I Casualties Cut in Half. According to the same authority, { the average casualties of the French army are fewer than half what they lwern last year. The whole secret consists in establishing a close and almost mathematical connection be tween the work done by the artillery and the movements of the attacking ‘U‘uups. Such a difficult problem was lnnr easy to solve. The French au | thorities make no difficulty about | confessing that it took them a long time to find out exactly how to pro ceed. It was only by hard experi ence that the best methods of deal ing with the German barbed wire de fenses and Intrenchments were learn eq and that two separate and distinet kinds of artillery preparation were required. It has been worked out with mathe ! matical precision how many shells ars required per yard of wire entangle ments. When it comes to the destruc tion of ground defensive works, ex perience has shown that the best way to deal with front lire trenches, es peclally when the are not easy to pecially when they are not easy (o them an enormous number of trench mortars of all sizes Howitzers are only used at present against the sec ond and third lines, and all works behind the first line trenches. As it is, their task is already a sufficiently heavy one, and it assumed that every inch of ground must be plastered with shells Curtain of Fre. Once this work of preparation is over the great problem was to safe guard the attacking troops as they ’mmul orward by a protective cure tal of shells, which had to be lifted ahead, in accordance with the ground ’,'l.v;-'?. Here, owing to the difficulty | of keeping artillery exactly informed | 18 to movements of infantry, the only ‘ ition. which was found for a long time. was to regulate exactly before hand the movements of the attacking troops and lengthening the artillery rangs by a clockwork schedule. This left a considerable margin for mis takes and miscalculations, as the ad vance of the infantry was not always wecording to schedule, With the aerial supremacy, obtain ed by the Allles on the Somme front Continued on Page 2, Column 5.
