n must be said that since her marriage
the new Duchess has shown disposition
and ability to play an intelligent part IN
public as well as social life. She has
written articles and made speeches On
public questions which have received the
attention Of intelligent people. She takes
q place decidedly in the serious element
of fashionable society ,a"a.
There are, of eourse, many serious and
respectable people who claim that . more
liberal attitude should be taken by the
Church on the question OF divorce. II Rs
therefore not unreasonable to suppose
that the Duchess has urged the Duke 70
insist on his right to maintain his official
position in the Church, although he may
have broken an ancient law.

Bishop of Oxford against the Duke of
Marlborough. Many of the other bishops
who are anxious to hold the confidence of
the most earnest and righteous members
OF their church are planning a crusade
against misconduct in high places.
The law of the Church of England is
that no clergyman may remarry the uilty
party in a divorce suit, and that such
person cannot receive the sacraments of
the Church as long as he lives in the un-
consecrated union. Further, great many
clergypfen teach that marriage is an in
dissoluble Sacrament, that no person has
any moral right TO divorce, and even the
injured party seeking one and remarrying
is guilty of sin.
1T should be remarked that the Bishop
declared that the Duke was not q com
nhuhtcaht of the Church. This came as
near an oid-time excommnnication as the
Church Of England has pronounced In
Centuries, 4 II fecalls the ancient ceremony
The Washington times., 1922-11-12
LONDON, Oct. %.

LONDON, OCC. 70.
7HE singing rebuke administered by
the Bishop of Oxford to the d.
q vorced Duke of Marlborough Is still
the subject of eager discussion in English
high society.
It is regarded as the first important
step in new and vigorous war by the
Church of England against divorce and
loose standards in aristocratic and
fashionable circles.
1t now appears that the Bishop went
out of his way to condemn the Duke for
being the guilty party in divorce suit,
for having remarked contrary to the laws
of the Church of England, and for daring
to act as prominent layman of the
church.
At meeting of the Diocesan Confer
ence, which includes all the clergy and
representative laymen of the diocese of
Oxford, the Bishop announced publicly
that he had written to the Duke ordering
him not to attend the conference. The
Bishops statement was loudly applauded
by the meeting--anothe significant cir
cumstance.
The Duke, as the owner of the Blen-
helm Palace estate, which is in the diocese
of f'Oxford, is one of the leading laymen of
the diocese. Moreover, he holds the dig
nifed office of Lord Lieutenant of the
county, in which capacity he is an ex-
oficio member of the Diocesan Confer
ence. The Lord Lieutenant is the per-
sonal representative of the King within
the county, and the Office is conferred di-
rectly by His Majesty.
A bishop of the Church of England Is
also a state official and it is said by some
that the Bishop of Oxford has no right to
discipline another royal official except by
authority Of the King and Government.
But others point out that the Bishop has
clearly moral right to exercise his eccle-
siastical authority against one who has
broken religious laws, even though that
person is state official. Here again Is
the germ of possibly serious religious
controversy. 1t might bring up the claim
of Henry VIII. to be the absolute head Of
the church both in religious and civil mat
ters, a claim that is not accepted by de.
vout churchmen.
The Bishop, in the course of his re-
marks condemning the Duke, said:
81 have always taken membership in
the conference 10 De governed Dy mem
ber having the full status of communi-
cant. cannot admit that the Duke Of
Marlborough has such status and have
therefore requested him not to attend the
meeting."-
What makes the Bishops action psrticu-
larly interesting is the understood fact
that he seized The occasion TO administer
this rebuke, although the Duke did moth
ing. to force the situation.
The Duke has replied to the Bishop that
he insists on his right to take part IN the
on the ground that his marriage Is per-
fectly legal and that he is entitled by law
to attend the Conference. II Is believed
that his new Duchess, who feels vefy
strongly any criticism Of her marriage
from the religious point Of view, hes
urged him to maintain this attitude,
The Bishop has replied that the FEELING

Oxford is especially significant. The
Bishop of Oxford is always one of the
most prominent figures in the episcopate.
His cathedral serves also as the chapel Of
Christ Church College, Oxford, and he is
the leading clerical denitary of Englapd's
greatest institution for the training Oh
young men of the upper classes. II IS
therefore an intimation of the high stand
ards of morality that are expected from
the rising generation.
Just what are the questionable acts that
have brought or. the Duke such severe
condemnation Nearly thirty years ago
he was married in New York to Miss Con-
suelo Vanderbilt, charming nineteen
year-old girl, the only daughter of the late
W. X, Vanderbilt, of New York: The
Duke had little ready money and his an
cestral estate of Blenheim Palace was
heavily encumbered. His bride, on the
other hand, y is understood brought him

of accommodation, when
the Bishop put a ban on
the sinner, ordered all
clergy to withhold the sac
raments, offices, rites and
comforts of the Church
from him in life and in
death, and forbade all
Christians to have dealings
with him under penalty of
sharing the same doom.

charming and wealthy American women.
The first, Miss Consuelo Vanderbilt, was,
Of course, surprisingly wealthy, while the
second. Mics Gladys Deacon, was at least
moderately so. .,..
Fashionable society appears to think
that the Duke has done very admirable
thing in marrying two such American
women, and that It was really the cleverest
performance Of his life. Some cynics
even suggest that after THIS excellent start
he may marry several more.
The fact that Ne treated his lovely FIRST
wife In a manner that caused Widespread
indignation tn America does Dot concern
these cynics for moment. Hb unblush-
ing conduct which gave her cause for d.
vorce is regarded almost in the light Of q
jest. Such departures from oid-fashioned

The Duchess then began her suit for
divorce. She produced evidence In court
thst the Duke had stayed at Paris hotel :
with an unnamed companion. He reg
istered under the name of Charles
Spencer, which ID in fact his patronymic,
as he 10 directly descended from Charles
Spencer, Earl of Sunderland, through the
latters marriage with the only surviving
child of the great Duke of Marlborough.
When the facts of his stay at the Paris !:
hotel were narrated In court the Duke
smiled broadly. He is known to be man
who rarely smiles, and yet on this solemn
occasion, when evidence so detrimental to
his reputation was being given he dared
to smile. What was he smiling about?
How could man in his social and official
position venture to do such thing? It
is such cynical conduct as this that may
have decided the Bishop of Oxford To
make an example of the Duke in the
Churchs war on the disregard of religious
and moral laws by high society.
AS soon as circumstances permitted, the,
Duke married, in Paris, Miss Gladys Dea-
con, an American girl who had long been
celebrated as a beauty and woman of fas-
cinating qualities in European fashionable
society. Miss Deacon had at one time
been an intimate friend of the Duchess,
and it was through his wife that the Duke
met her. This fact helped to rivet atten-
ton on this remarkable marriage. :.
1t is true that from religious point OF
view it would have been equally wrong
for the divorced Duke to marry an utter
stranger as an old friend of his wife, but
there is no doubt that this peculiar feature
made the marriage even more subject OF
gossip than il would otherwise have been.
The new Duchess was extremely anxious
to have her wedding blessed by religious
ceremony, showing deep regard for the
Church in general, although she might be
disregarding its laws in one particular. "A
busy search was made for an English or
American Episcopal clergy
