How much British participa-

Where Russia fits into the

Meanwhile, that there is to be

part OF American forces presently
engaged is evidenced by recent in

THEY KEEP FAITH
What are tho facts? Are wives
keeping the faith al home while
their men are off fighting the
war?

friend of the court, through
whose office passes all divorce
cases and who probably is the
best authority on social aspects
OF marriage in this area.
"Yes," say priests and minis
tiers.
YES" say the court records.
Mrs. Soldier and Mrs. Sailor is
waiting al home for her man 10
come back-and she is keeping
faith while she waits.
DIVORCE INCREASE
There has been n Substantial
increase In the number OF di-,
vOrce cases." Pokorny said. but
this increase Is general and not
due to any extraordinary num-
her of marriage failures involV-
ing servicemen.
I'm great number of the
divorce cases involving service
men we find the causes trace
back before the man went into
service. There would have been
divorce or separation, regard

service.
"Thefe are n number of other
cases resulting from hasty war
time marriages but the failure
would have resulted. regardless
of the man going into service"
BUSYBODY PROBLEM
Lacking information. Pokorny
was unable TO estimate how many
divorce cases involving service
men might have resulted from the
meddling of buSybodies, either
nelghborS or relatives.
