WAR ON NAMES
GERMAN CITIES BALk AT NAMING
STREETS FOR RADICAL
LEADERS.

A war of names" has broken out
all over Germany as the result of ef-
forts on the part of the Socialists to
change the names of all streets, parks
or other places, the present names of
which recall persons or events asso-
ciated with the old Imperial regime.
In pre-war days there was something
closely resembling competition
among the various German cities and
towns to see which could name more
of it's streets and parks after members
of the imperial family, and during the
war this spirit was manifested by U.S.
ing the names 'Ludendorff," "Hinden-
burg" and those of other leading gen.
erals. This practice makes the task
which the Socialists have undertaken
all the more difficult.
So far there has been comparatively
little opposition to the substitution of
such names as Erzebergerstrasse and
Rathenaustrasse for those associated
with monarchical times, but when the
Socialists attempted to name streets
after such leaders as Bebel, Marx
Liebknecht, Rosa Luxembourg, etc.
considerable opposition was awakened
among those elements which are not
enthusiastic concerning the role these
radicals have played in German af
fairs ~-- 80 ~ 49,

NO CHURCH WEDDINGS
GROWING TENDENCY OUTSIDE OF
CATHOLIC ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
IN ENGLISH CIVIL MARRIAGES.

(By N. G. w. c. News Serviceo
The English Registrar-G General has
just made public some statistics con-
nected with his Office, and from certain
points of view these figures are dis
quieting. One of the things most to
be noticed is the falling-off in the
number of church weddings.
This increase of civil weddings, so
an official says, is marked In every
class of society. People who thirty
or so years ago would have rejected
with scorn civil marriage before the
Registrar, now flock to these secular
offices for their marriages.
But there is one exception, accord
ing to this particular official, who
quotes from the legal statistics. This
exception is the Catholic Church in
Great Britain. "The only church, /"
says this official, (which is retaining
it's number of marriages is the Roman
Catholic Church."
The actual figures are really better
than that. 1t was shown recently
that the number of marriages per-
formed in the Catholic churches in the
country were higher than those Of any
other religious denomination, not ex-
Guiding the Anglican Church, which,
on account of it's privileged position,
is commonly supposed to have the
largest number of adherents in the
country,

The Bishops and clerical and lay

beginning September 6, have received
letter from the Sanctity of Marriage
Association, petitioning them to out
law the remarriage of any divorced
person under any circumstances dur
ing the life of the other party to the
divorce, thereby following the Roman
Catholic practice. At present the
Episcopal church permits the remar-
riage of the innocent party when the
divorce has been granted for adultery,
il certain conditions are met.
The communication also petitions
the members of the coming conven-
ton to endorse formally the bill Of
fered by Senator Wesley Jones OF
Washington for an amendment to the
Constitution permitting Congress to
enact Federal statutes on marriage
and divorce. The letter says it can
