Among the German revolutionary

into a sort of religious manila and that
he spends most of his time praying for

AT a meeting of the British Domin-

than one million married people have
separated, Gae to so-called war mar
riages."
We do not have at hand his author
ity for the statement. 1t is mon
strous assertion to make, but at the
same time, those people over there
have been in this war now, going on

We have appiauded the patriotism
of the young girl who gave her sweet
heart husband to his country and we
have read pages and pages Of "rot"
about the beauty of the sacrifice they
both are making The time is come
for us to black up" look at things
from a common sense and human ma
ture standpoint, and see what these
war marriages really are.
There will always be in this world
men and women absolutely true to
each other; and the converse is also
equally true We will leave out of
consideration both of these. We are
concerned only with the youthful, i'm
mature, Economically affected and pas
siCnately moved young things who
rush into each others arms and de-
clare their undying, amending, and
patriotic love and allegiance to each
other. At the time they mean it, as
honestly as the little child who says
Mamma I'll be good" when about to
be spanked.
Absence Is great undeceiver Of
heart, mind and affection. It is the
greatest destroyer Of passion that ev-
or existed. absence makes the
heart grow fonder," simpered the
poet. True, most true--of the Other
fellow!
These children are no more married
in the deep full sense Of the great
marital intention of God and man

i. unconcerned about it, for they
know that after brief honeymoon

to make them believe they are throb-
bling with patriotism in giving up each
other for country's sake, when in
reality they are but wrapping them
selves for while in great cloak of
romanticism and child love which.
to both OF them, will soon become a
threadbare garment of repentance for
too many Of them.
Four years, two years, even one

do declare that someone must stop

thousands of young, ignorant boys
and girls to the rocks of disaster and
separation that this uncharted sea Ia

Fathers and mothers, you have a
duty to perform in this matter. It is
your prerogative, your duty, to advise
against these hasty and sudden mar
riages. Already we are beginning to
have in our midst the young war
mother, with her babe. God bless
and pity them both! And too often we
are finding even now these same war
mothers compelled to seek support by
the labor of her hands or brain while
the son of her husbands soldier is left
to the careless hand of boarding house
mistress or hired colored nurse"
Our girls should turn a deaf ear to
the romantic call to become the war
bride of a young man going off "Send
him away with a SMILE" and the
statement that when this cruel war
Is over, I'll be your bonnie bride"
