Japan Leads World
For Divorce Cases

Toxic, Dec. I'm proportion to its
population Japan leads the world in
divorce, according to statistics just
compiled by, government officials. A
great number Of separations come
about Immediately after marriage.
Whereas in England the proportion
of divorce is only two to every 10000
marriages and in the United States 1t is
80, in Japan there are no fewer than
173 divorces to every 10000 marriages.
Most of the divorces recorded have
been brought about by mutual con-
sent and through the efforts Of the
go-betweens responsible for the orig
inal union. They were accomplished
without submission to. court or law
Out Of the $4,000 divorces which were
effected between 1888 and 1902 only
400 cases were obtained by law suits.
The divorce report says: This re-
markable state Of affairs is attributable
to the fact that ideas Of individual
rights and obligations as well as the
knowledge and experience Of the law
are but scantily developed in the minds
of the Japanese people. But since
the Japanese women are now growing
in the consciousness of their dignity
and rights we hear now and then OF
cases of women fighting for divorces in
the courts of law
In conclusion the report urges strict
er regulations, pointing out that the
general tendency in the civilized
world is toward gradual diminution of
divorce. and that the proportion in ia
pan is becoming alarming.

THE EAGLE

The first nation to adopt the eagle
as a symbol Of royal power was the
Etruscans of ancient Italy, who bore
the image Of an eagle as a standard
at the head of their armies. The
standard Of the eagle was borne by
the Persians at Cunaxa in 4O1 B. c..
The Eagle became the standard of
the Roman legions in the time of
Marius. The Roman eagle was rep
resented with outspread wings. The
Byzantine emperors had as their en-
blem a double-headed eagle, signifi-
cant of their claim to empire in both
East and West. The eagle was later
adopted by the German emperors
and by the rulers of Prussia, Poland
and Russia Charlemagne added the
second head to the eagle for his arms
to signify that the empires of Rome
and Germany were united under him.
The eagle was the standard of Napo-
leon, and was restored in France dur
ing the second empire. The design
for the great seal Of the United
States, embracing a. spread-eagle, was
suggested to John Adams, then min
lister to Great Britain, by Sir John
PrestwichI an eminent English anti
quarry, and was adopted by Congress
in 1882.
