The Triennial Convention OF the
Episcopal church will have little time
| left for the consideration OF other
matters if it undertakes to settle the
divorce and lynch law questions dur
ing the present session. Both are
evils of gigantic proportions, the one
debasing the standard of morality and
making of the marriage tie thing OF
no sanctily, to be put on and off at
will. the other breeding disrespecs
for law and order and leading rapidly
and inevitably to a state OF anarchy
lf all the churches would set their
faces sternly against evil practices IN
high life as we'll as among the poor,
if the leaders of the church would
hold aIoof from the immoral and Wis
cious rich, as they do from the de-
graded poor, there might be some
hope of the rehabilitation of society
by the action OF great church assem-
5les; but SO long as social position
and wealth serve as, cloaks fer hagrane
immortality, such as>the wife swap

set, the divorce court serving as a
sort of woman's exchange, the most
solemn enactments of the supreme
legislative bodies OF a dozen great de-
nominations will be non-efective.

not the strict observance OF the moral
law; and since, to most people, mar
riage is still a religious rite, the re-
fusal of the church to countenance
the marriage of divorced persons may
have weighty influence socially, If it
does religiously. We doubt its effect
from a religious standpoint, because
we do rot believe any person with a
sincere respect for the teachings OF the
founder of the church would seek
either an easy divorce or a quick re-
marriage. Those who go through the
divorce court mill and make haste to
be married again respect and fear the
opinion of society more than they do
the canons of the church, or the Word
of God.

Joined the Russian squadron in the Far
East had not circumstances subse-
quently compelled Russia to recall
them. These vessels if added to the
others brought to the Far East dur
ing the progress of negotiations, would
have made a total increase in Russia
naval strength of about $4,000 TONS
During the same period the increase
of Russia's land forces in the Far East
has been equally marked. Since the
18th of last June, when under the pre-
text of trial transportation on the
Siberian railway, the Russian govern
ment sent TO China two infantry bril-
gades, two artillery battalions, and a
large force of cavalry, troops have been
constantly sent by military train from
Russia to the Far East, until at the be-
ginning of February, the total aug
mented strength of the forces of Rus
STA was over 10000. At the same time
plans were being made for sending, if
necessary, of over 100000 more.
During the same period there has
been the greatest activity possible at
Port Arthur and at Vladivostok, and
work has been carried on day and night
to strengthen the Notifications of those
naval ports, while forts have been built
at Hun-Chun Lao Yam and other
strategic points, and large quantities of
arms and ammunition have been sent
to the Far East by the Siberian rail-
way and the vessels of the volunteer
fleet. In the middle of october last a
train of fourteen cars was hurriedly
sent from Russia laden with equipment
of field hospital
From these military and naval prep
arations of every description made dur
ing the progress of the negotiations, it
is quite evident that Russia was not in
clined to a friendly settlement of the
questions then under discussion be-
tween Japan and herself, but sought
solely by her military preponderance to
force Japan into submission. During
the latter part of January and up to
the beginning of February the Russian
military activity was still further in
tensified. On January q about two
battalions of Infantry and detach-
ment of cavalry We're sent from Port
Arthur and Dalny to the northern
frontier of Corea, and on January % a
formal order to prepare for war was

IN view OF these facts, who can say
that Russia had no warlike intentions
OF that she was unprepared for WARP
Seeing that the situation had become so
critical it admitted of no further delay,
the japanese government was COM
PEELED to break of negotiations that
had proved abOrtive and take the
necessary steps for protection. But
the responsibility for the challenge to
war rests not with Japan, but solely
with Russia.
ION the 9Th Of February Japan an
nouneed to Russia her determination
to terminate the pending negotiations
and to take such independent action as
she might deem best to defend her posi-
ticn, menaced by Russia, and to pro-
tect her established rights and legiti-
mate interests At the same time the
government of Japan informed the
Russian government that as its moder-
ate and unselfish proposals in the IN
terest of firm and lasting peace in the
Far East had not received the consider
alton which, was their due, Japan had
resolved to sever her diplomatic rela-
tions with Russia which for the reason
named had ceased to possess value, and
to withdraw her legation.
1.-THE term independent action natur-
ally included the opening of hostilities.
The fact that Russia was unable to
understand it in that light is, of course,
no reason why Japan should be held re
sponsible for the misinterpretation
made by Russia. 1t is the almost
unanimous opinion of international
jurists that declaration of war is not
an indispensable prerequisite to the
opening of hostilities. Indeed it has
been the common practice in recent
years to declare war after nostilities
have been begun. Japan's action, there
fore, is not open to the least criticism
in this regard From the standpoint of
international law it must be acknowl-
edged that the charge made against her
does not come with good grace from
Russia, inasmuch as there are not only
many historical instances of Russia
herself resorting to hostilities without
declaring war, but one case, that OF her
invasion of Finland in 1903, when she
began war before there had even been
a rupture of diplomatic relations"
