Newspaper Page Text2D Dr. Max Nordau, British Scientist. Asserts That However Great the Loss of Man, Polygamy Will Never Be Tolerated. e By MAX NORDAU, " (This is the second of two article by Dr, Nordau on “The Woman's Rig . The voluntary war work of the la dies of society, as well as of the hum ble women of the mass, is equally ‘admirable. They are the real instru ments of the national solidarity which they transform from a theory into a ‘warm, blessed, helpful practice. They represent civilization admist unfet ‘tered barbarism. They incarnate not only humanity in the sense of charity, but humankind itself in the face of the primeval bestiality to which the war necessarily degrades man, It must be admitted, she does not yet directly participate in the direc tion of state affaire. But this will come. Political majority will drop in her lap like a ripe fruit without ne cessitating a nhew exertion on her part. In France some writers, the most rigidly conservative, too, pur pose to grant the fallen soldiers the continued enjoyment of their voting eapacity beyond death, Their nearest female relative, the wife, the mother, the sister, shall inherit It as a sacred hgﬂcY. and exercise it during her whole lifetime. If the proposition is carried, woman In France would en ter the political list by this mystic door, but surely it would not last long ere her sisters who have no cher ished war victim to mourn for would follow her through the wide-open gate of a general law. : After the War? But how will it all be aftér the war? Cynics pretend: Woman will have other business to mind than to throw herself into politics. The war works frightful havoe among the malée youth. Healthy men with all their limbs preserved and of mar riageable age will be scanty and, therefore, eagerly sought for. Already before the war the “epouseur” has been in Western Europe a rare article on the market. Afterward. no offer at all will meet the demand. The luck fest woman only will succeed in pro- | curing a husband. The struggle for man will become the one great oceu pation of the tender gsex. It will as sume new, surprising, bewildering forms. Crazy reformers already see polygamy legally introduced, thoi ‘home of the respectable citizen turned into a legitimate harem, female woo- ‘ ers clubbing together to acquire and 10 entertain in common a man. How foolish! What a grotesaue ineomprehension of the feminine paychology! Woman has the rich and | lurvla capacity for adaptation which | belongs to prinitive nature when it has not vet become rigid in too far CArried aifferantiation, when its pow ers of evolution are not spent, If man is scafce and unattainable, she will learn to do without him.

Shotild her yearning after the child become so averpowering as to tvran nige her whole being and to Insist imperatively upon being satiefied, she will know how to conquer the right of maternity in a form which will re anect her delicacies true morality ana all her noblest virtues. and will not hurt her self-esteem.

Bhe will never put up with the condi- | tions of a harem. She wiill have to herself exclusively the man she de sires as the permanent companion u(‘ her life. But her new ethical phi losophy will permit her episodic re renouncement and sacrifice of herself which the opinion of the entire ('om-‘ munity, in oconsideration of the nu-I preme interest of national preserva tion, will recognize as justified and respectable. All conquests achieved by woman |during the war will be maintained and enlarged after it. Where she 'nundl she will remain; in the ad ministrations, in industry, in com imerce; and where she has not yet ‘net her foot, thers she will arrive. in the polling premises, in Parliament, ‘in offices, In universities, in acade \mlu, in cabinets. A guide-post in that direction is the recent appoint ment of a lady as an adjoint to the ‘new food dictator in ultra-conserva ‘tive Prussia. During the absence of ‘man, woman had to learn how to min ister to all the requirements of state and soclety and how to keep the in tricate machinery of the colectivity going by her own effort. She will continue to apply the aequired knowl ‘edge. Till now woman was the finer sex. Bhe is about to become the stronger sex and the determining principle in public as well asg in do mastic lifa. After one generation, or perhaps somewhat later, through the working of that self-adjusting capacity of tha< &pecles which in the case of indi vidual organism is called entelechyl in modern blology, the breaches wrought by the war will gradually fill up and the disturbed equilibrium between the seves be re-established anew. Man will then perhaps try to' push himself again into the foremost place of which in the meantime wom an will have got hold. Our grand children will possibly witness a paro dy of the present woman's rights movement with reversed roles, a leagué for man's rights, a struggle for preponderance of man In state and society, frantic efforts toward the ex propriation of woman. SBtump orators will appropriately change the word Sieyes applied to the Tiersetat, and exclalm: “What {s man? Nothing. What ought he to he? Fverything.” But man will find it difMcult, and perhape impossible, to oust woman. It 1s easier to defend a place than to conquer It. Her new funections will equip woman with all the power man Ihu hitherto enjoyed and made use of to keep her out of them. And she will, moreover, possess a particularly efficient trump; the reeognition by the collectivity that In government, in the framln: and .administering of the law, in administration, In educa tion, she does her work well, She will probably do it better than man. She will certainly not do it worse. This lowering of the status of man will be his just punishment. He has misused his preponderance in the state for bringing about the most terrible historical cataclysms; or at }any rate, he has showed himself in capable of preventing them. 10,000,000 Eggs Sold At Half Price by Italy ROME, Bept. 30.-Ten million eggs, stored by speculators and peized In Itallan Jm- by the government, are being resold publicly at 2 cents each, half the market rrh-e, The purpose of the sale at this fig ure {8 to ald in reducing the cost of living, whioh has increased 25 per cent in the lagt s!x months, Germany Cuts Prices BERLIN, Bept. 80 —ln re“ornnr the reccnn{ announced cut in the price of bread In Berlin, the Overseas News lAloncy tells of decreases in the price of oats and barley.

Prize Pupil at Summer School Says That Plenty of Exercise Is Her Only Recipe. BOSTON, Sept. 80.—“1 had to come to Boston and to Harvard to have greatness thrust upon me!” exclaimed Miss Mabel Furry, of Seattle, Wash., the prize strength pupil of the de partment of physical education of the Harvard Summer School. Out of 218 classmates Miss Furry has won the distinction of belng the Sandow of the school and declares I-ho feels suddenly like a much-her alded side show of the big circus. “And there is nothing unusual about me, either,” she declared. “Just come out to Seattle and you will find 'ludl of girls as strong as [ am.” | Miss Furry stands 5 feet 71-3 inches in her stockinged feet and Iwalxhl 180 pounds. There is not one pound of superfluous flesh. She Is all muscle and concentrated energy. ~ "So you want my recipe?” she queried. “Well, it isn't easy, un-. less you just love the life of action— the outdoor life, Ever since I was a child I have played hard.

Arises Early in Morning. How to llve 24 hours a day as set forth by Miss Furry is very convinc ingly strenuous, She, together with other students of the Sargent Sum mer School bent on taking physical training for professional reasons, is up at 7 o'clock for breakfast, and from 8 to % is spent in what she calls play-—tennis or some game to get her ready for the work of the day, From 9 to 10 a lecture is heard on preventive medicine, from 10 to 11 methods of teaching, then from 11 to 1 methods are put into practice and a busy two hours is given to dumh-bell exercise, marching tuctics and general HEARST'S SUNDAY AMERICAN, ATLANTA, GA., SUNDAY, OCTOBER 1, 1916. e —————————ttser et ieiansarensni ittt sttt SR LR TSR Y oNETN O N SRR e e calisthenics. After luncheon come more tennis and long hikes, getting back in time for dinner—“for which We are ready, believe me,” laughed Miss Furry, Corsets and high-heeled shoes are equally pernicious, Miss Furry thinks, “l 1 can not understand why girls should willingly put themselves into & Mtrait-jacket, and that is just what corsets are.. Then, again, they stunt the growth of the body and rob it of its natural grace, so they are not comfortable, Nobody can be healthy and happy who is all the time un comfortable.” Teaches No Set Form. Miss Furry, who is a graduate of the State University of Washington, i 8 physical director at the Queen Anne High School in Seattle. As to her methods of instruction, ghe said: “I do not belleve in any set form of training for girls. Different constitutions require different instruc tion. That must b studied Just as the mind of the individual is consid ered, but to everyone plenty of out door exercise and hard and carnest playing make for physical prepared ness, and,” she added thoughtfully, “with physical preparedness the brain is ready to do its part.” | She attributes her rush into college limelight due entirely to the unusual Strength of the lower muscles of her legs, which has been gained most ly from constant and systematic mountain climbing, She can lift with ease 380 kilos or 800 pounds, the welght being placed over the limbs above the knees.

Continued From Page 1. came the best solution of the prob lem, - Communication between the advan cing infantry and the artillery Ia! maintalned by aeroplanes, Captail Mille says. KEach French division is now provided with a number of so-‘ called infantry aeroplanes whose task it Is to follow closely the advancing line, not in order to fire on the enemy, but simply to report to the gunners and let them know exactly what is going on. As soon as the infantry have reached a given point, the 75's are informed that they must lengthen their range beyond it so as not to hit their own men. Information 18 §im ilarly given if the infantry happen to he held up by any unsuspected obstacle or if a German counter at tack is seen coming up from the rear, | Scientific Triumph. The way in which this new device is worked on the Somme is marvel ous. It ‘s mainly due to the se¢len tifle system that the troops have been able to advance under a curtain of shells which moved continuously ahead of them at a distance of 200 or 300 yards. These points explain why the | French losses have been reduced so materially in spite of the almost continuous offensive. The main handicap, which the French are still contending with, ariges from the fact that they have not been able to smash the deadly German long-range guns., With re spect to this point both the French and British headquarters bulletins have recently referred frequently to the successful work accomplished by their heavies in demolishing the Ger man lang-range batteries, and the prediction is made by Captain Mille that “means whereby the last diffi culty—that of making it impossible for the Germans to delay the allied advance by their curtain of fire of big guns—will be met as success fully as the other ones have been” is echoed in many quarters here. That the allied offensive on the Somme is far from having been stop ped, as the Germans asserted, and has not even reached its maximum is believed here to he the fact. Color is apparently lent to this belief by the reports that the artillery prepa ration, which for thréee days preceded the latest Franco-British advance, was the greatest the war has yet known. . .

CHICAGO, Sept. 30.—The love of a “hoss race” has ruined many a life but sometimes it has—well here’'s a story from London, re ceived in Chicago, which shows the other side of the picture: Commander Powers Symington until recently was the United States naval attache in London. For nearly a year he practically lived on the indefatigable, a Brit ish battleship. Being from a Southern State where the race horse is worshiped, the command er, just hefore derby day came, thought he would like to see the race. Also he felt it would do him no harm to stretch his legs on shore. He saw the derby, but missed the battle of Jutland. If he had seen it his ebservations would have been of no value to the Ameri can navy, for the Indefatigable was sunk and every man on board was drowned. \ Petrograd Grows . 40 Per Cent Bigger lHundndc of Thousands of Fugitive Poles Flock to Russian Capital. STOCKHOLM, Sept. 30.—A Swed ish engineer who has just returned from Russia gives an interesting de scription of war conditions in Petro grad. He says: “The population of the Russian capital has increased nearly 40 per cent since July, 1915. This is partly due to the arrival of hundreds of thousands of fugitives from Poland, the Baltic provinces and Volhynia, partl¥ to the erection of numerous new factories and the enlargement of old ones. The industrial establish ments in Petrograd and the sur rounding towns now employ 600,000 men and women. Many of the work ers have been brought from the in terior of the empire. “Within a radius of 30 miles of Pet rograd every existing factory pro duces war material and nothing else. The Russian industries, after some delay, have been as completely mob ilized for the war as those of Ger many. Under the direction of Rus gian, English and French experts the factories turn out enormous quanti ties of shells of all sizes and car tridges for machine guns and rifles. The Putiloff works now make nearly a 8 many blg guns as the world fa mous Krupp works in Essen, and it is asserted that more machine guns are finished every week in Russia than in Germany.” LAUGHS HERSELF TO DEATH.

They complain first and foremost of the action of the Gov ernment in calling up gkilled labor for military service at such a time as this, when ‘next to munitions and food an adequate supply of boots is one of the most important factors in winning the war.” Another big factor, who handles the product of a considerable number of tanneries, has a word to say about the American intrusion into the mar- L T T ep—————— ® TRY Us 1 ; sm{«n LEATED, ALL 5T Y V 4 A o T it i g | RIR-" Ficoring, Yo, "c.
