UNIFORM DIVORCE LAW. H H The need of a uniform divorce law has long been advocated for the pur- pose of checking this growing evil. It was even urged that the New England states should pass laws upon that sub- ject, as well as change the laws con- cerning marriage, for the purpose of overcoming the disgraceful situation that s revealed every time divorce statistics are presented. Some slight Dprogress was made but it was not enough as was shown by the recent claim that many Boston couples were turning to Vermont for the purpose of overcoming the marriage restrictions in their own and neighboring states. If the marriage laws of every state were alike there would be no such tendency to increased divorces as is §|shown today. 1t is anything but a i creditable showing when it is revealed 2| by carefully compilea figures that there were twelve times as many di- vorces granted in 1914 as there were 50 years previous. In 1864 with a pop- ulation of 30,000,000 there were $,551 divorces in this country. In 1914 when the population had increased three times there were 110,759 ties broken or twelve times as many as there were a Lalf century ago, the di- NEW ENGLAND'S OPFORTUNITY.|Vorces increasing four times as fast as B e cection of “ew England | the Population and with an average of - ere is no section of New England|ope givorce to every twelve marriages which cannot appreciate the import- | i YoSU0 o ance of the effort set on foot Monday | 'yt 42 : B R eetieins ot oot Monday | This situation is nothing: mew.

Mr. Editor: I have been waiting and watching for a letter from Mr. A-bell who promised to send another letter from Berlin explaining to us how kind and merciful and law-abiding the Ger- mans be, even in war, but I fear he| has forgotten his promise. Things have changed since last he wrote ue, and without notice Germany has declared him to be a German cit- izer with every other alien resident of five years' continuous residence there, and ordered him to the colors without consulting his wishes or the views of his government. Of course, we do not_expect him to write now, because he is booked to live and die with the Germans and for them without his consent, and he hasn't time for corres- vondence. What would the Germans of Ameri- ca say should this or any other govern= ment declare them to be citizens with. out their consent and order them to the colors? It would be an outrage! Germany doesn't recognize that Americans of German descent and of long and loyal citizenship must stana for America first, last, and forever; and through her foreign agents and her 200,000 color men has been bull-dozing them and making collections to support the German war, to say nothing of the Berlin-directed ~ criminal campaign against American industries and against Canada from neutral soil. We do need the German grit to quickly put an end to such conduct by aliens what- ever their name or nation. We shall have to excuse Mr. A-bell for not keeping his promise on this oc- <casion. TY.

Stories of the War Fortification at Pinsk. The thirty odd kilometers of the arc around Pinsk have been fortified since the German army took Its position there last September as probably no other section on any front, east, weet, or southeast. The Pripet WaDp, which, on account of the mild winter, has formed a natural b rier between the German and Russian lines, has checked by the Russian counterattacks. But the Germans have realized that a single cold snap might make the swamps passable, and to forestall such a thing they have resorted to every known ex- pedient to make every foot of their positions impregnable.

QTHER VIEW POINTS At the time of the wreck at Milford we took occasion to point out that there was such a thing as mechanical devices of an automatic nature where- by such disasters might be made prac- tically impossible. The impressive re- sult of the investigations into the Mil- ford wreck is that such devices exist and that they can be adopted If their adoption involves expenditures which under existing conditions appear pro- hibitive, a way must be found with the public co-operating to make that ex- penditure possible. The public has been reminded too often and too vivid- 1y of the price that is pald for inade- quate preparedness against railroad wrecks to be willing to leave any stone unturned. This lesson should now be well learned.—New Haven Journal- Courier. Bridgeport manufacturers in their announcement of today throw down the gauntlet to the machinists when they declare for the open shop. What the outcome will be is difficult to de- termine at this time. That it will mean a strike to the extent the members of the Machinists' union are able to con- trol goes without saying. That the members of that union will be suc- cessful seems very much in doubt. It would appear from knowledge that even the union possesses, that it does not control the situation. Granting the union the 3,000 members it ciaims to have, there remain at least three times that number, and probably four times, who are not members of the union. It may be that with tais lack of unanimity on the part of the men they will be able to force the bosses to recognize the union, pay them a cent a minute, arbitrate through a shop com- P iy Alsoutes ta the hus- h the German advance and | | tering sand the rule. | beach reaches out fari ¢ the swift running river | amp.

Mr. John Oliver La Gorce, Associate Editor of the National Geographic So- clety, has recently prepared for that institution a study of this striking struggle between the earth and the sea with the shorelines of the world as the far flung theatre of war. After calling attention to the fact that the processes which have trans- formed the polar regions from dense Jungles of tropical growth into lands of perpetual ice and snow, which have | brought the tops of mountains to the bottom of the sea and the bottom of the sea to the tops of mountains, are still going" on, although the hands up- on the face of the clock of geology move o slow that we can not perceive their movement, Mr. LaGorce contin- ues: “Along every coast line on the face of the earth there is perpetual war- fare between the land and the sea, with the wind as the shifting line, now throwing its weight into the balance on the one side and now on the other. Here the land is taking the offensive, driving the sea back foot by foot, ways with the aid of the wind; there the sea marshals a great drive, and eats its way landward slowly and lab- oriously, but none the less successfully. The varying fortunes of this relent- less and sage-long war, which neither truce nor treaty will ever bring to an end, can be read in the shifting sands of the scashore. At many points along the coast of the Northeastern States are found bold cliffs and the charg- ing sea attacks them with the shot and shell of loose shingles. Some of them, however, are adamant and impreg- nable in’their frontal fortifications and hold out against the sorest seige, but between them have occurred stretches of softer rock which have been liter- ally pounded to dust by the ocean's heavy artillery, thus permitting flank attacks on the hitherto unconquered defenses. iong the southeastern coast, how- ever, the rock-bound cliff is the ex- ception and the long stretches of glit- into the sea, and the water is thu abled to penctrate farther and fs en- t a is usually ttack; long str and the plit on the other. “The formation of the beach immed- rded by the Cape Henry| not changing so rapidly as is case only a few miles on either iately light is because of its somewhat pro- tec h in from the ocean, and, be- cause of this knowledge of defense, it is pialn to be seen that a good quar ter of a mile of beach has been ad: cted. away Beach, Long _Island, d at the rate of near 2 mile ever years.
