a menace to British interests or the
possibility Of threat upon the allied
hold at Constantinople are the powers
likely to make renewed tenders or to
accept the role of mediators by re-
quest. In short. Greece is taking a
heavy risk in thus renewing the con-
fiict. The Turks have assuredly not
wasted the time granted them by what
has been practically an armistice. Rus
sian assistance has been offered and
is probably being received. In short.
in all likelihood the Turks are by this
time relatively stronger than the
Greeks. despite the extraordinary eff
forts the latter have made in recruit
ing and re-equipping the army.

days:
You've got to be a champion and in
vite the world to gaze.
A champion at polo, or a champion at
base ball,
Or tennis. golf or swimming. or most
anything at all.
A champion in the market, or a cham.
pion in the ring.
A champion in music If you even want
to sing.
A champion on the ballroom floor to
take a dancing prize,
A champion in science, if your tend
ency is wise.
The plain, industrious person finds a
lot that none desire.
Each wants to be a wonder for the
other to admire.
Superlatives alone we seek in measur-
ing out the praise.
You've really got to be some kind of
champion nowadays.

War and Domestic Relations,

| The enormous increase in, broken
| homes is ascribed. of course. to the
| war. Years of separation between
| husband and wife are the first and
most obvious cause. Beyond the spe-
| cific war disruption is the spiritual
! and moral unrest born out of the war.
| Old traditions and beliefs have been
shaken. and men and women are con-
; ceivably less tolerant under the re-
sponsibilities of marriage than they
used to be. But it need not always be
an increased frivolity in the face of
ilife's duties. 1t may be, in many in
stances. new spirit of independence
which in other circumstances would
be regarded as gain. This would
hold especially for women.
But unquestionably the principal
reason for the enormous growth of
divorce trials has been the fact of
wartime arrears. A familiar phe-
nomenon everywhere in Europe was
the large increase in marriages i'm
mediately after the armistice, in the
face of depressing economic condi-
tions. These were obviously the ac-
cUmulation of four years of postponed
marriages. So the divorce dockets of
the last two years have represented
the aecumulation of four years of
easily susceptible of proof by study
ling the statistics for divorce during
the war years And if this is true,
England's present divorce rate of six
times the pre-warrate plainly shrinks
to something like normal dimensions.
