RECTOR DENOUNCES
EASIER DIVORCE
'IndecenCy,' Says DR.. Man
ming of Idea Backed
bV DR.. Grant.

"Indecency," the Rev. DR.. William T.
Manning called the propaganda for
easier divorce law at the Lenten ser
vices of the seven chapels of Trinity
Church, held in Trinity Chapel last
night. On March another Episco-
palian rector, the Rev. Percy Stickney
Grant, made a plea for easier divorce
and called the law of his Church mot
Protestant, not English and not mod
ern."
at is time to call the propaganda IF
easy divorce by its real name" said
Dr. Manning. who had written a spe-
cial sermon on the subject at is time
to strip it of its high sounding titles
and call it by its real name-indecency.
We find this indecency in our litera-
ture, plays, periodicals, newspapers and
so-called reform movements. 1t is all
yelled in a garment OF literary clever
ness.
"The propaganda Of easy divorces
and Reno is a greater disgrace and a
greater menace to the lie OF our COun-
try than the idea represented IN Salt
Lake City. 1t is a condition worse
morally than that Of the savage tribes
of barbarism.
at is time to attack the evil; to
speak our word against it. 1t is time
for us to discourage marriages per-
formed with osteutation and made a
social function of. We must discour-
age and stop all clandestine marriages.
We must work for legislative action
to make easy divorces impossible. We
must be faithful in the social scale.
We must stand for the sacredness of
the marriage VOW which makes for
Christian homes-the very bulwark and
life Of our nation.
"The time has come for all of us
who believe in the Christian marriage
to stand together. There is now one
divorce to every twelve marriages. The
real facts are much worse han these
mere statistics show, because divorce
is the shameful luxury Of the rich.
The poor man cannot afford 1t, so he
simply deserts his wife. These stats
tics do not show the desertions."

reparation from Germany will be de-
manded for the destruction In the open
sea Of the American cargo ship WILL
lam P. Frye on January rs last by the
German auxiliary cruiser Prinz Eitel
Friedrich. Tonight the Neutrality
Board selected by Secretary of the
Navy Daniels, and including Counsellor
Lansing OF the State Department, DR..
James Brown Scott, head Of the Car

The meeting of the board was careful

The opinion prevails here that the

ATTACK ON HOSPITAL
SHIP IN DAYLIGHT
House of Commons Hears Ger
mans Had No Excuse in
Asturias Affair.

London, March lO-Replying to a
question in the House of Commons to-
day as TO whether there was any
validity in Germany's excuse that the
submarine which tried to torpedo the
British hospital ship Asturias was un-
able to discern the distinctive marks
on that vessel because of darkness,
DR. Thomas j. MacNamara. Parlia-
mentary Secretary TO the Admiralty,
said:
The master Of the Asturias reports
that II was at 6:l5 p. m. on a clear
day and light, leaving no possibility
of the identity OF the ship being mis-
taken"
Dr. MacNamara added that several
officers and a number of other persons
aboard the Asturias saw torpedo and
observed the submarine following the
vessel.
"As the submarine was thus plainly
seen, it is difficult 70 believe that the
identity Of the hospital snip was not
equally plain" he said.

that amount had been taken out on
the hull of the ship. The cargo had
been privately insured with marine
underwriters, it is believed.
The German Embassy was without
information, it was said, as to the
facts of the case of the destruction Of
the Frye.
II is pointed out that Germany had
no right to destroy neutral ship, eX-
cept in the circumstances that she was
known 10 be carrying actual contra
band of war in greater quantity than
one-half Of her cargo. The right OF
the Frye, which was en- route from
Seattle to a British port, TO proceed to
her destination and discharge her cargo
cannot be questioned. There was, it
is said. no evidence that her cargo
was destined for the use of the enemy's
troops.
Presidents View in Note.
The attitude of the President on the
subject of the rights of American mer-
chantmen was expressed to Germany in
the most unmistakable terms in the
note addressed to the imperial govern
ment on February 10. In that the
United States government expressed
its position in the following terms:
"If the commanders of German yes
sells Of war should destroy on the high
seas an American vessel or the lives OF
American citizens it would be difficult
for the government of the United
States to view the act in any other
light than as an indefensible violation
of neutral rights, which it would be
very hard indeed to reconcile with the
friendly relations now so happily sub
sistng between the two governments.
at is, Of course, not necessary to re-
mind the German government that the
sole right of belligerent in dealing
with neutral vessels on the high seas
is limited to visit and search, unless a
blockade is proclaimed and effectively
maintained, which this government
does not understand 70 be proposed IN
this case"
The fact that the expression of the
American position appeared in note
on the subject of Germany's war zone
declaration does not influence the pres
