WARTIME BRIDES
CASES OF DESERTION. ASSISTANCE FOUND DIFFICULT. LONDON, December 5. Complicated legislation would be necessary to assist Englishwomen who married Dominion soldiers during the war, and were deserted without the means c-f livelihood, and with children to care for, according to the AttorneyGeneral, Sir Thomas Insk/p. Replying to a question ill the House of Commons, Sir Thomas said it would be difficult to legislate in order to permit them to obtain divorces in Brik tain instead of in their husbands’ eountres. Jt would necessitate altering the British divorce laws, and reciprocal legislation in Britain and the Dominions. I The position, went on Sir Thomas, was partially met by existing legislation, which permitted the enforcement of British maintenance orders in the Dominions.
