ENGLISH REMEDY
FOR DIVORCE EVIL

London, Nov. 1.-THE royal COM
mission on divorce, which has been
investigating this subject for several
years, has made public the result of
its inquiries.
The majority report recommends
that the two sexes be placed on an
equality before the law with regard to
the grounds for divorce, which shall
be adultery, desertion for three years,
incurable insanity after five years
confinement, and habitual drunken
ness, found to be incurable after three
years.
From the issuance of the first separ-
: alton order, it is recommended that
all divorce cases shall be heard by a
| judge alone, who is empowered to
| close the court during the hearings
and prohibit the publication of details.
The majority report also recon-
mends that no report on matrimonial
cases shall be allowed until they are
finished, and that the publication of
the portraits of the parties thereto
shall be prohibited.
The report states that the evidence
taken during the Investigations show
ed that the proposed extension of the
grounds for divorce, far from tending
to lower the standard of morality.
has had contrary effect and that the
present stringent restrictions and
costliness of divorce are productive OF
Immortality and Illicit relations, par
ticularly among the poorer classes,
This report is signed by nine commits,
sioners.
The minoritys report, which is sign
ed by the archbishop of York and two
other commissioners, opposes the ex
tension Of the causes for divorce or
the ground that this is destructive tc
the sanctity of the marriage ties and
family life, and contrary to the princi
pies of Christian faith in its relation
to marriage.

Roy Roberts and Miss Smith were TO

two principals necessitated an indefin-

DIR. Craig was to have been married
the day after the accident. The oper-

manded a postponement of his we'd
