New York. Jan. 50.--The archbishop of
Canterbury. speaking in support OF a res-
olution protesting against the legaliza-
tion OF marriage with a deceased wife's
sister drew a comparison between Eng

London correspondent OF The Tribune.
He denied that tho moral laws is as much
observed I'm America as IL IL In England;
divorce Is far easier there than here and
he regarded the prevalence of divorce as
certain sign that the moral line in life
has been lowered. Americans. ne argued,
were distinctly beneath Englishmen ia
that respect.
