Their disagreements reached this crisis" InJune after Professor Giron became the chil-dren's tutor. The Princess at that time con-sidered seeking; a divorce and visited her"friencj, the Princess Theresa of Bavaria, whodissuaded her. The Princess; however, afterreturning to Dresden,' did not resume maritalrelations.

BERLIN, Dec. 24.—The Lokal Anzeigerto-day prints aidispatch Dresdensaying that King George *of Saxony sentseveral of. the highest police officials to

Geneva to observe and report on the ac-tions, of the fugitive Crown PrincessLouise. One official returned yesterdayby way of Vienna.; The others will,re-main at Geneva. A divorce of the CrownPrince and Crown Princess is regarded asimpossible during the lifetime of KingGeorge, who entertains" stringent religiouss'cruples against divorce. *• The ProtestantcJergy, however, hope that Berlin willbring pressure to bear for a divorce."

The sympathy of the people of Dresdenseems whollywith the Princess, who is ofa cheerful, pleasure-seeking

'disposition.

The Crown Prince lo^ed to torment her.Among the writers forbidden )her wereTolstoi, Zola and Nitzsche.

Professor Andre Giron is described asan idealist of the extreme type. Itis re-lated that his family once considered the.question "of confining him in an asylumbecause he refused a legacy on'."thegrounds of delicacy of feeling. "

The Crown Prince-

beat . the CrownPrincess, according to an editorial state-ment in the "V/Dssische Zeitung, one of themost .careful newspapers published inBerlin, which adds:

The court has no official informa-tion as to the present whereabouts of thePrincess, but It is known here that sheis going to Mentone, France, to reside.The court at present is withconsiderations as to the *best course topursue. Itis believed that the Pope willbe appealed to- to grant an absolute di-vorce/

"While the newspapers this morning gen-erally commend the scheme as a cour-ageous attempt in the direction of a verynecessary reform, it is expected that itwillmeet with much opposition. ..Its prin-cipal defect as pointed out in editorialarticles this morning is that engineersand marine officers will still be debarredffcm attaining flag rank and all cadetstbtiefore will want to enter for the execu-tive branch. The Standard says:

"We do not blame the Admiralty forhesitating to follow the example of theUnited States, in whose navy executiveami engineer officers have been combined(with very dubious results): but. the Ad-miralty has gone bo far that it certainlywillbe compelled to go farther."

LONDON, Dec. 25.—Official papers have[been issued which give full details of thene.V scheme for naval education, underjvhjch the training of officers iito be" uni-fied and simplified by the- adoption of asingle system for the

-training of cadets

for all three branches of the service-executives, engineers and marines.

The scheme as now detailed confirmsthe previous forecast. Itwillbecome ope-rative next July. For the first severalyeors all cadets will receive identicaltraining, in every branch of the service,special attention being given to scientificstudy. Thenceforward from the age of20 the cadets willbe drafted into the dif-ferent branches and willbegin to special-

ize. The scheme enables speedier promo-tion, provides for revised rates of pay,the disappearance ofengineers' disabilitiesand promotion to the rank of commanderby selection.
