The argument that there should be no
divorce for n British woman married TO
n German because the parties have
vowed fidelity would be valid IL no such
things as divorce existed. Since, how
ever, tho civil code OF every civilized ma
tion recognizes that circumstances may
arise which dissolve the contract, we nave

women have been placed in so terrible and
unnatural a position. mated with enemy
subjects allcnatcd among their own KIND
is not good reason for such dissolution.
