Buucff Send Reply to floiuuMnlM. London, Jan. 16.?Another day has \ .ins. ,1 without progress in the peace | negotiations. The amluissudors of the power* have not yet presented th? u collective note to the porte. Constan? tinople despatches say that th? delay j Is due to the failure of the German , ambassador to receive instructions from his government. Part of the European press blames Germany, charging that she Is stand? ing outside the concert of Europe and playing a game of her own. The ambassadors at London deny this, one said today: This suggestion is wholly unjust. Thank God the most prom? ising feature of the situation is that all of the powers are marching to? gether." Considerable difficulty has been ex pertem il In carrying on an exchange of views through code telegrams and this In believed to be the real cause of the delay. The fact that King Fer? dinand of Bulgaria, with his minis? ters Journeyed, to Mustapha Pasha for a council of war yesterday with Gen. Savoff and the commanders of the , four Bulgarian armies Is considered proof that the Bulgarians threat to 1 begin the war aooti Is In earnest. I ?r Han.fT. the chief Bulgarian en- j voy% has received a long cipher tele- j gram from the premier, telling of j King Ferdinand's visit and describing the condition of the armies besieging Adrlanople and faring Tchatalja.

The urgent need of uniform mar? riage and divorce laws in all the States of the Union to check the ever increasing divorce evil, which, as it was pointed out, has increased three and one-third times as fast as the populaton of the country in the last 4 0 years, was discussed by the New York State Marriage- and Divorce Commisssion at the Aldine club yes? terday afternoon, ami temporary or? ganization was effected toward the end of bringing about such uniformi? ty of marriage and divorce laws throughout the country. The conference was presided over by Bishop Charles Durc h and was at? tended by prominent church and so? cial workers of various faiths and de? nominations. Among those present were Bishop David H. C.rcer; Dr. Felix Adler, of the Ethical CuftgMP*5o ciety; the Rev. 1 >r. Sidney E. Gold? stein, assistant rabbi of the Free Synagogue; Mrs. Anna Garland Spencer, of the executive committee of the American Vigilance Associa? tion; the Rev. Francis M. Moody, who has been leading the agitation for uniform divorce laws of the West, and representatives of the International Council for Patriotic Service. It was announced that Bourke Cochran who had previously said that he could not join the commission in its work with? out the consent of Cardinal Farley, had since given assurance of his co? operation, thus apparently indicating that the objects of the movement met with the approval of the Cardinal as well as the re ligious leaders of other faiths. The De v. Mr. Mood) outlined the conditions that made necessary the passage of uniform divorce laws throughout the country. "The Pacific Coast," said he, "has been the greatest divorce cent-i not only of this country, but of the entire world, and in that belt of Washing? ton, Oregon and California the divorce ce ntre has been San Francisco. In the year 1912 ale?ne there were grant? ed in this countr.' over 100,000 di voices More than TO.OOO children, mostly under the age of 10 years, were deprived Of one or both parents by divorce. In the 10 years alluded to 3,700,000 adults were separated by divorce in the country, and more than 5,000,000 persons were affected by the-e cases. "The bulk of these cases in that period have been in the Middle West? ern States nine of which provided 632,000 divorces, or practically half of all tin- divorces in the country. Illi? nois alone provided 120,000 divorces, and for this reason we have deemed ii wise to make the beginning of our movement in that State, where- we now have a commission <>n marriage and divorce striving to bring about reform of the marriage and divorce laws and work for country-wide uni? formity thereof. Pennslyvania had ?*>.",760 divorces, the state of Califor? nia 50,000 and that cd* New York 4 4,4 50. "in this country there Is a pressing necessity for legislation requiring every State to see to it that both Cie parties in every divorce suit are rep? resented. At present 90 per cent of the eases go by default, with only one party represented, In Reno, for exam? ple, divorces are granted on the ut? terly uncorroborated testimony of one party to the suit."
