SUBJECT FOR LIVELY DEBATE

Propaganda Reaches Stage and Miniotry Takes Up Fight to Correct Waffa Aftermath — Debate on Marriage Spreads Through England—Parliament Takes Active Part in the Discussion — Some 2,000,000 Spinsters Must Emigrats to Find Mates. Marriage and divorce are two topics of unusually lively debate in England just now. To discover the reason it la only necessary to go back to the war, where many hasty marriages were made and many others wrecked. The war. which changed political botindaries and unsettled fitiutieial and economic conditions, gave the British social system several nasty jolts, writes Arthur S. Draper In the New York Tribune. In the first three months of this year there were 71.987 weddings in Great Britain. This n urn her is smaller than the record for the last quarlet of last year. Still there are some two million spinsters in these isles who see little hope of finding a mate unless they emigrate to New Zealand. Australia or Canada, where the male U In the majority. Parliament has been Inking an active part in the discussion of marriage and divorce. Two important measures have been under discussion at various times in the last year. One would make divorce easier and Ihe other would protect the minor maiden. Neither lias become a law. At first glance it. would scetti there was only one side to the questions, but actually they are as tnany sided as human nature itself. Play Arouses Proteat. There Is a piny In London called "A Bill of Divorcement." wherein a woman is divorced from her lunaUc husnatid, falls in love with another mtto and then is faced with the return of Her husband, who has become sane. This is a so-called propaganda divorce play, and Incidentally it has aroused many churchmen to protest. Apropos says the Rev. Clarence May : "When you talk about lunacy as a ground for divorce, have you ever thought of the cruelly to the ones left behind in the lunatic asylum? I have Iccn in many luqgtic asylums, and many of the inmates are as sane as you and 1 are for tive-sixiti* of the day. Often it happens that the one tiling a man In an asylum is not mad about Is the woman he loves—and that is the one comfort and consolation in life left to him. Jf we are to divorce for madness, why not for consumption and eaneer? So-called easier divorce will never get rid of the hard cases. Pertiaps If a man's whole soul and mind were mad. ami nothing really remained hut Ids body, you would have a ease for divorce. But how are you to tell when a lunatic can never recover. when patients are often released from asylums after spending ten to twenty years inside?" Incidentally, the discussion Is further involved by the appearance of a book written hy a prominent English ••etor, In which he urges the consul••ration of euthanasia for the hopelessly insane. He would place the lunatic husband or wife In a lethal chamber. But Hie ink is hardly dry in his book before an equally prominent lawyer offer* violent opposition, asking pertinently who Is to he the final judge of those who are to he put to death, and what standard is to be set. The Rev. Basil (J. Bourehler, vicar of the fashionable St. .Tudc-oii-tlic-Hill in the Hampstead Garden suburb, is n cousin of Hie well-known actor Arthur Bourehler, and no leas druniatic, though he speaks from the pulpit. He has been preaching a aeries of Sunday evening sermon* on marriage mid divorce, and his large church has b en crowded to the doors. In frankness he asks no odds of Bill} Sun. .. though he doe* nol share the ex-base-ball player's views on the evils of alcoholic beverages. Says the vicar o, St. .lude’s: Make Marriage Harder. “Should divorce he made easier? Most certainly not. Instead of making this horrible thing more easy let us work to make marriage harder. T get married today Is far too easy and simple. I nm all for making mnnlagr ou Its legal side, purely ii civil or stall affair as on the continent the nur tinl mass or heneillctioii of the church to follow In tin- ease of those who really want and appreelote it.

tling Thriving Metropolio.

Washington. D. t'.—Man Antonio. Texas, scene of the latest destructive flood in the United States, is the subject of the following bulletin issued from the Washington, I>. L'. t headquarters of the National Geographic so-

ciety.

“San Antonio is sn intimate mixture of old Spain ami Mexico, ami the hustling America of today,” says the bulletin. “It began Its life in ]7iti as a tiny Spanish military settlement—‘El Presidio ile San Antonio de Bexar.' Bui that leisurely name officially logt most of its trimmings when the -town became an American community, and to many who have known it tiest—including O. Henry—It has taken on the unofficial cognomen, ‘Sanantoue.'

Losing Its Foreign Flavor.

“A hundred tears ago San Antonio was almost entirely Spanish ami Mexican. Uifly years ago It could be considered only half Atnoi ican. Then the railroads came to quicken its life, the rich ‘cow country' round about was developed, and a few far-sighted business men woke up to the fact that It was situated without competitors in the very center of a territory that would need unmeasured supplies. Since that time San Antonio has grown Us forest of sky-scrapers and factory chimneys like scores of its fellow American cilies. Approaching the 2U0,dOO mark, and with a greater population than that during the winter tourist season, it leads all other cities in Texas though it is closely approached by Dallas and Houston. An observer set down suddenly on Commerce or Texas street might easily imagine himself in Syracuse, Atlanta, Memphis, Dayton or any one of a dozen

other cities of a similar size.

“As it lias grown, San Antonio has lost most of its exotic flavor; but touches of old Spain and Mexico are still to lie found If one searches for them. A few of tlie narrow, winding streets of Hie old days are left with sidewalks ou which two pedestrians can hardly puss. Irou-barred windows are to he seen behind which coy senoritas have stood as Spanish or Mexican youths ’played tlie bear.' Grated doors and gates in yard-thick walls of tlie mission days hint at mystery. Those who like the peppery dishes of Latin America may find them of a quality not equaled outside flie »'lt} of Mexico and a few of tlie larg er cities of the southern republic. “And in the center of the town, strolling down ordinary business streets, one comes suddenly uuoti the historic Alamo, the ‘Thermopylae of America.' There in Texas’ war for independence from Mexico, 179 American frontiersmen held off for ten

days a Mexican army of

Because of Hie part it played in their war of independence it Is a sacred shrine to all Texans. “A string of four other mission* extending for fifteen or twenty miles down the San Ant.inio river represented, with the Alamo and tlie Presidio and the village of Sim Antonio, a' 1 that there was of civilization in that part of Texas 200 years ago. Automo bile buses now whisk tourists over the ‘mission loop' and they clamber over the crumbling walls and luilt over the liquid Spanish names—Purh slea Conception, Sun .lose. San Franelseo de In Espndu, and San Juan , Capistrano. i River Hidden by Butinesi Building*. "A visitor to Sun Antonio could hardly imagine destruction from the San Antonio river. He might even maintain that the city has no river at all. only a creek. In the forest of modern business buildings the river Is as effectively bidden as is the (idlesee in Rochester. The San Antonio rises pmctlcully within the city limits, gushing full grown from rocky ■ fountains. Its narrow hod has been j paved, and It meanders sluggishly | through the city for all the world like | a medium-sized Irrigation ditch. In a j stroll through the business district one will cross the little stream half a dnz en times in going b"« than a score of

'blocks.
