"Judges should not &pak through the newspapers," said Justice Guy. nateriallsm in the World tod.iv kind I 1'!:'' that the reason for divorce can bu found in that condition of inimi. "The moral side of life Is not looked upon as utrongly as it was formerly," said Justice Oreenbaum. "The younger generation runs around much moro freely. The home lacks sanclty and there Is a tendency among young folks to escape from the ties that bind them. They call that freedom." In England, T(. This country is not the only divorce offender. In spite of the fact that, according to statistics of population, there are some 2,000,000 women In England who will have to go without husbands, the divorce courts are crowded.. It la remarkable, consider- ing the war casualties and the slight. cnance or a second cnoice, mat. so many English women are willing to let go of so many husbands, and It also may be the reason why so many husbands are lured- from so many wives. " The' reason for the large number of divorces In England, as stated by Mr. D. Klgur, of the most popular and busiest firm of divorce solicitors In the United Kingdom, Is: "The reason we are getting more divorces is simply because the war has taught both men and women Indepen dence, and has taught them to think. Women have learned that they have an Individuality, and that they can look after themselves, The men, too, have come to take a broader view of life. "The fact Is thut there would have been Just as many divorces before the war if people had not been shackled by lack of Initiative and by fear of challenging the conventions of society. have and Wales. the Knglish and Welsh divorce courts which opened hist October th record number of 2,000 cases of divorce was filed, which is more than double the - number which merry England had on Its last divorce list. Thirty-eight thousand applications for divorce wero made in Petrograd alone soon after the bolshevik govern- nAMf anmmni. thnt divorce COllld hereafter be had for the asking in I marriages which were made unpleas soviet KuRsia. So the movement is not local, but . the county clerk's announcement . shows that the city is holding its own and living up to the reputation which thli, country has long held as tho greatest divorce market in the world. A Church J'ronlem. The man who can opeak with great authority on the reasons for this ' Increase is the number of New York divorces an Increase which he be ;' llsres alarming is Bishop Charles Bumner Hurch. hood of the Kpiscopal diocese of New York. Kor nine years, both as assistant to the late Hishop . Greer and as Bishop of this diocese. Bishop Bureh has been interested In divorce In thjs city. He Is Interested In It because he regards the problem of divorce as a problem of the church and also because he has been con tinuously consulted by parishioners concerning- their marital ditllcultiee. 44l am very much surprised to hear that divorces have Increased 60 per jrsnt in the last year.'.' said Bishop Bureh. ''I am Inclined to douht the accuracy Of that figure very much, but if the county clerk says that 'there are more divorces by 60 per cent than last year I am hot the- one to dispute his figures. "To my mlnd'the most important reason for this Increase in divorce cases 1 easy. marriage.- And yet there is not state In th union that is more careful about making marriage dim cult than New York. A clergyman who , marntos a couple withouta license in New' York is liable to stringent punishment, and I believe that the punishment cannot be too severe. However, what I mean by easy mar- riage is not the technical ease with which two persons may be married, : but the ease with which Xhey decide . upon marriage and the lack of thought behind that decision. "In this connection, let me say that probably the greatest cause of this phenomenal increase in divorce is the hasty war marriages, of which we had o many in the last two years. The uniform was a glorious attraction, and - justly so, and departure for France was a strong Incentive to marriage,. but since the return Of our fighting men there has been much time for .the leisure necessary for repentance. ' Restrained by Patriotism. "Of course, another explanation for tne situation is the contention that . many wives who would have sued for ' divorce In If It but for the fact that their husbands were In the military service are bringing suit now. Pa t riot ism did not allow many wives to bring action' while their husbands were in the military service. However, I do not think that reason is of major importance. "The economic Independence of wo men may be another reason for the , increase in divorce. Many more wo , men are supporting themselves, even - thought they are married, than ever ' berore. Not being dependent upon their husbands for support they . naturally would not wish to continue ' to live with those husbands who prov ed obnoxious. This argument carries more weight when one considers that in more than three-quarters of the , cases of divorce the action Is brought by the wife. Alarming, Says Bishop. "If divorces have increased 60 per cent In the last year in New York the . situation is particularly alarming, be-' cause or me ract tnat-wew York and Houth Carolina are the two states in -the United States which have the most stringent divorce laws. In South Caro liaa no grounds whatsoever are allowed- tor divorce, and la New York tho only ground for divorce is the statu tory ground of adultery. We have the highest standard, and if we have an increase of 60 per cent what must , be the ratio of Increase in good-old puritan Vermont, where there are fourteen grounds for divorce?" "What do you believe is the remedy for the Increase in divorce?" "The remedy Is a uniform divorce Isw throughout the country on the highest and most stringent plane. A uniform divorce law that would pre- vent migration from state to state in eeareh of freedom from tho rosponsi- billtles of marriage would decrease j the number of divorces throughout ; the country, but, of course, such a ' 'aw must not bring down the level j r t New York to the standard of Ver- i nont with Its fourteen points, but It! -usl raiRe the standard of Vermont: that of New York. Such a law we "liscopal clergymen have been urg- f Cor many years. I should be in war of such a law by constitutional ! ieiidment. but I think that. If pos- Iblr, It should be obtained In an Tsier and faster manner. A uniform - Ilvorce law wouid not decrease the lumber of divorces In New York city, j tjecause we already have a strict law, i and the remedy for the local situation 1 inst come from the parties them--elves. Clergymen can of great j rvlce in this reconci gallon, and they I 've been of great Service. In the "pisoopal church we tto not remarry ' 'ivoreed persons, except the Innocent j party in a divorce which was obtained ! on the ground of adultery." Mu-Ht Remain Married. "Then you think. Bishop Bureh. j that even though two persons have ceased to agree they khould be com- . pelled to remain married throughout their lives?" 1 I decidedly do think so," said i . Bishop Bureh. "The doctrine of free love, and that is what easy dissolution of the marriage ties means, is insidi ous to the last degree and has result ed in great moral damage." 1 (Supreme Court Justice Vernon M. Davis was one of the. four lay dele-' gates sent from the New York diocese to the general eonventldn of the Pro- , testant Episcopal church held In De- ; troit last October. " Justice Davis urg- , d the adoption of a canon forbidding . fly remarriage by any Episcopal, clergyman of either party to a du wc action, but itis motion was my experience that most divorces uru brought by poor people and not byj NEW YOItK Jan., IS Forty-two those w ho are well to do." men and eight women arrested In re- The experience of Justice Davis is I cent raids on extremists were released corroborated by the records of tho I from Ellis Island on bail today, Philadelphia divorce courls.

II. Conner Was in Bail Shape Before Using Andes. "Heuily Wonderful" He Says of His Kroovrrr. tso run-down was the condition of W. H. Connars, of Gary, that he had to have his stomach pumped before using Andes. Now he is a well man and In a statement that rlisjrs true with heartfelt gratitude, he endorsee Andes, the medicine that is accomplishing such wonder ful results all over Kentucky. Mr. Conners said recently: "I have been a great sufferer from stomach trouble for about ten years, as near as I can remember My digestion was bad; and I could scarcely eat anything for fear of tho awful pain that would be sure to follow. My condition became one of a genera! run-down nature, and my blood was in bad shape. I had to have my stomach pumped out not less than once each month for more than a year. It always gave me re lief, that was all. 1 became very skeptical as to the merits of any thing. I had tried so many medi cines without the least benefit that I had no idea Andes would help me. However, it has; In fact, It has done me more good than every thing else combined. I hope that others who are suffering with stomach trouble as I was will at least give Andes a trial. There is nothing to equal it. My own change Is really wonderful." It is truly remarkable the results that was given in this case, as the party only used four bottles of Andes. It put him on his. feet again and he can do as much work as any man In the city. Men and women who have stomach trouble, nervous in digestion, sleeplessness, liver, kid ney and bladder disorders, land are badly constipated will-And Andes the medicine that they have need ed for years.
