4 The problem of divorce demands
the earnest considerations OF all men
and women who desire that society
after the war should be better and
happier than it was before the war.
3 Even before the war the marriage
problem had become urgent. The
number of women largely exceeded
the number OF men and some VINO
might have contracted marriages

the anxiety of married life.
This problem will be far more ur-
gent in the after.war period be-
cause of the many. deaths of men
who would naturally have been the
husbands and fathers in the coming
generation. 49, .s-,
The state is interested almost as
fully as the church in ensuring the

dispcnsation in extreme cases.

pronounces divorce might certify that

wholly innocent and then the church
might in cripit Of divine charity
grant that party the opportunity of

BY HAROLD e. BECATOL.
Euronean ManaQer Of N. E.. A.

London, England.-One of the most
active bodies dealing with peace prob.
lens in Britain today is the British
Divorce Law Reform union.
This Organization is vigorously de-
manding laws that will make it easier
for hastily welded or other unhappily
married couples to secure seoara-
tions.
5"There is no question Of social re
form that is SO urgent and pressing
from a woman's and a national point
OF view" asserts A Horatio Taylor,
chairman of the legal. branch Of the
union. - .r
George Barnes, member Of the war
cabinet, recently stated that there are
about 100000 childless war wives in
Britain.
Many of thse marriages were hast
lily contracted, contends the Divorce
Law Reform Union, and a relaxation
of marriage laws Is necessary to en-
able the unhappy parties to obtain dl-
vorces and start anew.
Says Chairman Taylor: 1--WE are
constantly receiving letters from these
parties. We also receive heart-5reasi-
ing human letters from deserted wom-
en- who will not break the moral laws,
but go on living ddt their sterile lives
in lonely, silent misery, when there
are men waiting to bring Joy to their
lives if the law would allow it.
There are endless cases of wom'
en- deserted and left, with families
who. to get home and protector for
their families, have taken the neral
into their own hands
Sir Arthur Conan Doyle recentlN
gave misunderstanding testimony be,
fore the National Brit! Rate c9mmlls;
sion.
He took as a basis the figure OF q
a half million separated couples and
the statement before the recent dl-
vorce commission hearing that 90 per
cent of divorced people remarked.
Therefore, if divorces were made
obtainable for the half million now
separated, there would be about a
quarter of a ~million remarked cou-
pies.
Crediting each family with an aver
age of three children, he said, there
would be an actual addition to the
population within few years of 15o,'
coo. Thus he held it no exaggeratlon
to state that within a generation or
SO the ravages Of war could be made
up from this source alone. 5j,,'a

Poor Cows Not Wanted.

The tendency to produce better cat

and improvement has never been more

be the salvation of the meat problem

animal may consume a little more
