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.

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- ,
