Bucharest, Jan. 15. —A man named Giurgu, who was imprisoned by the Rus sians in 1917, shared a cell for several years with Nysidor, a Roumanian sol dier. Giurgu expatiated perpetually to his cell mate about his wife's charms, his courtship, and his marriage two years previously. Nysidor was liberated first. He went to the town of Klausenburg. where he announced that he was the woman’s missing hufcband. She was most skep tical at'first, declaring that no man could so have altered. However, Nysidor’s quotation of incidents in her courtship and early married life, which he had learned in the prison cell, finaly con vinced the woman that he was her hus band and that he had been changed by his severe hardships. The couple lived together for eighteen months, when Giurgu appeared on the scene. Nysidor fled from the country. Giurgu refused to forgive his credulous wife and sought a divorce, but the court has exonerated the woman and refused to grant the husband’s petition. Spencer Man Takes Six Poison Tablets.

New York. Jan. 13. —“The South has made better progress toward right race relations than the North in the last ten years. Things in the North seem stand ing still by compariso'n," declared Dr. Robert R. Aloton, principal of Tuskegee Institute, to an audience of wealthy and influential New Yorkers,at the Town Hall last week. “Southern white women," Dr. Moton continued, “have passed resolutions de claring theat they want no chivalry that i is not also extended to colored women. It j is not hazardous any more for a white ( man or woman to stand up and say ‘I i am a friend of the Negro.’ A man who got up in any influential gathering and said that he did not believe in Negro ed ucation would be hooted down. “Deep down in the heart of the aver age Southern Negro there is a genuine appreciation of the white man, and deep down in the heart of the white man there is a genuine appreciation of the Negro. The Commission on Interracial Co-operation, with headquarters in At lanta, is loosening up in a most whole some way this pend-up friendship which often hitherto was not expressed in any concrete form. Alen and women of both races are stitting down now talking out their d : ffieulties with a frankness and sympathy which yould have seemed im possible ten years ago, with the result that the situation is growing better ev ery day. AVhile there is room for im provement, a few years ago I did not think I would live to see sentiment on the part of southern white people so friendly in desire for justice and fair plai along all lines of human endeavor as it is today." Dr. Aloton attached world-wide signifi cance to America’s efforts for right ra cial adjustment. “I somehow think,” he said, “that the way the race problem is handled in America will determine the method by which different races in other parts of the world will adjust their re lations, one to the other. AVe in Ameri tca therefore have a large responsibility ' i and a concrete obligation.’’ The meeting was in the interest of the 1 J endowment campaign of Hampton and Tuskegee Institutes and high tributes were ' paid to these institutions and their foun ders “for the way they have preached the dignity of labor, taught the Negi’o ■ respect for himself and shown the possi -1 bility for white and plack to work to- gether in peace, harmony and mutual ♦ helpfulness.” ' Suit Against Vanderlip Settled.

AVhether this measure will be sent di rect to conference between the two hous es or will be referred to the military committee is the first question the House must determine.
