in France. The things that were hap pening in France were not essentially evil things. One could imagine that if God thinks war is necessary for the solution of the world terrible prob lems, He will have no trouble forgiv- ing these fapses that follow .n he wake of war in France. And in Eng land. similarly we found tllal the moral breakdown was not a moral break down at all. The abnormal relations of the sexes arising out of tne Wal pro duced somewhat the same results that one found in France. but lr different ways. In France too mary strange men are billeted in the houses If ;he people. In England, too many omes are without men at all. And sheer social lonesomeness produces in nu- manity about the same conditions that arise when people are blown in too | close contact. There is d sort of so- cial balance of nature, wherein nor mally desirable results are found. The girl working in the munition factories working at top speed eight hours a day filled with a big emotional desire to do her full duty to her country every | second of the day, finds it easy in her eight hours of rest to fall i'll love with a soldier who is going out a offer his life for the country for which she is | giving her strength so gladly. She IS not a light woman. She Is moved py deep and beautiful emotions And f a marriage before he goes out to fight l is inconvenient or imposs. .bla--the war
 made it so and God will understand.
 Another Class
 Of course the idle wonl3n, the vain
 woman, the foolish wo.nan in these
 times in England finds ample excuse
 Tor her folly and Vas1 opportunity to | indulge her folly in the social turmoil
 of the war. And she is :ong the pace. | Her men are gone, wuo restrain her,
 and she has nothing in Ter head or
 heart to hold, and she IS in e,ldenCe.
 Her type always eXasge"ales it's ;;n-
 portancc, and fools people in;o thinking
 that her name is Legion anl that Mr
 Legion is an extensive polygl lmist 'with q raft of daughters and sisters
 and cousins and adnt@. I;I. she ie
 small in numbers aYd she is not lm-
 portant. She is merely conspicuous
 and the moral break down in England
 that one hears of in the bated breath
 of the continent, is an illusion.
 The elevator girl at Bucklands hote
 in London was bright, black eyed
 good looking woman in her late twen-
 ties. She wore a green uniform witt a crimson voile boudoir cap and as tho American stepped inside the slow go ing car, she answered his good morn ing" with a respectful good morning sir" Being a good traveller it seemed to me wise to prepare to while away
