Earnings of more than's per cent Oh
the common stock OF the Washington.
Baltimore and Annapolis Electric
Railroad Company for the year 1919,
based on earnings so far this year,
was predicted by George T. Bishop,
president Of the road, who conducted
a party OF Baltimore bankers on an
inspeetion:ftoYr over the company's
lines yesterday.
Mr.. Bishop declared that the slack
ening of military activities had de-
creased the roads business from Camp
Meade, but the IocaI5busineSs between
Washington and Baltimore had in
creased IS per- cent and the express
traffic 121a per cent. Local business
between Annapolis and Baltimore, he
said had shown a II per cent gain,
and express business 81 per cent.
He said the decrease of the popula-
ton of Camp Meade from $4,000 for
the hrst four months Of 1918 to 8, 900
or 10000 for the first four months iot
this; year had decreased the roads
revenue from this source ohly $27,QpU.
which was more than made up by the
increase in longer haul traffic
Earnings for the first four months
of this year have been nearly 500, 900,
he. said, which would give a total for
the year if this rate is kept up OF
about S2,Qee,0oO. This, Will enable the
company, in addition to paying its
fixed charges and dividends on pre-
ferred stock, to have a surplus OF
more than per cent for, its common
stock holders.

of the Germans.
LONDON. Aug. Z.

LONDON. Aug I.
~ NE OF the most painful and shocking
results OF the war In the opinion OF
serious minded Englishmcn has
been the great increase in the number of
divorce cases.
Fully as painful and shocking as the In
crease In number has been the fact that in
the majority of cases the suits have been
brought BY the husbands against the wives.
This appears to indicate the weakening of
the former higher relative morality OF
women.
Together with the great increase IN d.
vorce generally. there has been an un.
usual number Of cases involving persons OF
the highest rank, such as the Duke and
Duchess OF Westminster. Lady Idina Cor
don formerly Lady Idina Wallace; the
Marquis and Warehouses Conyngham.
Lord and Lady Kenyon, Lord and Lady
Clifton. the Hon. Ciarissa Tenant, niece
OF Mr.. Asquith; Major the Hon. Lionel
Tennyson, grandson OF the poet. and many
others.
The number OF divorces sought has in
creased with the most astonishing leaps
and bounds since the second year OF the
var. In 1909. five years before the out
break Of the war. there were only 1877
divorce cases for the year. In 1918 there
we're 1000 divorce cases before the Eng
lish courts and a proportionate number
before the Scottish courts. Such an in
crease had never been known before at
any time or in any country.
Out of the 1877 cases in 1909 no less
than $50 were brought by wives, but in
1000 cases against their wives. But back
In 1909 1t was significant that where the
husband was soldier or sailor the ma
jurity Of complaints were brought against
the wife In 1918 practically all husbands
we're soldiers or sailors. 1t. therefore,
appears certain that absence Is an I'm
rortant factor.
The leaders OF English public opinion,
clergymen judges and directors Of moral
agencies, are thoroughly alarmed ct the
Decentralization OF society and have been
uttering solemn warnings upon the subject
Sir Charles John Darling, Judge of the
Kings Bench Division, one of the highest
Judges of England and noted for his
trenchant, pithy utterances from the bench
upon matters Of social concern, declared:
"In nothing has tho war done more
harm than in the relaxation of social re-
straints on the part OF women.
"This last has reached q point that can
be seen in walk along the street. Women
differ by the width Of heaven from what
their mothers were"
This was a plain intimation by this dis
tinguished Judge that English women had
become immodest in public and that their
immodesty was related to the more serious
moral offences Of which they have been
convicted.
The Judges utterances were followed by
many comments from other public leaders,
many emphasizing the warning. while
some Indignantly rejected all criticism of

they could render was to give themselves
without restraint to the entertainment OF
the officer on leave.
The abolition Of social restraints due to
general war work among women Is said
to be the most prolific cause OF democrat.
ization. Girls and married women OF the
most aristocratic families and the most
respectable middle class families, brought
up with the utmost care and constant
cnaperonage. went into munition factories,
where they were thrown into unrestricted
contact with all kinds Of men, allowed un-
limited freedom, and came home alone at
all hours of the day and night Girls of
the upper classes, accustomed to super
vision seemed more liable to succumb to
new temptations than working girls, who
had developed an instinct Of Belf-preserya-
ton from infancy.
The women who enlisted in the auxiliary
naval and military forces were exposed
to similar dangers. woman engaged in
protecting the safety OF her country could
not. OF course. be required to submit to
chaperonage or accept any orders but
those OF her superior officers.
In fact, it has been found that women
who have engaged in war work are un-
willing to accept any supervision of their
private ways Of living.
curious illustration Of this has come
to light in the case Of Miss Violet Douglas
Pcnnant mature woman of great ad-
minlstrative ability and member OF Lord
Penrhyn's family. She was in command

away from that awful prudery-false, half
half the timely getting used to seeing
beauty for beauty's sake-not for any other
motive"
The Rev. DR.. Herbert j. Campbell. one
of the most eloquent and revered London
divines Of to-day, declared in a sermon:
"A lowered moral standard among our
wives and mothers would threaten the very
existence Of our nation and be an infinitely
worse calamity than defeat by the enemy
In war Unhappily, ! fear that we are
threatened with the greater calamity"
Many different factors arising out Of the
war are said to help in loosening the
moral standards Of women.
The absence Of husbands at the war
financial distress; the terrible anxiety
concerning news from the front creates
emotional instability in a delicate person.
The woman turns for consolation and com.
pany wherever she can find 1t. In seeking
relief from anxiety caused by her hus-
bands dangers she may thoughtlessly be.
come unfaithful to him.

leave from the front become objects of

In their thoughtless way these women
