Newspaper Page Text2D Dr. Max Nordau, British Scientist, Asserts That However Great the Loss of Man. Polygamy Will Never Be Tolerated. By MAX NORDAU, (This Is the second of two articles written for The Sunday American by Dr, Nordau on “The Woman's Rights Movement and the War.”) LRReP e a ¥ ey " ‘The voluntary war work of the la &n of soclety, as well as of the hum women of the mass, is equally Bdmirable. They are the real instru fments of the national solidarity which they transform from a theory into a ‘warm, blessed, helpful practice. They represent civilization admist unfet fered barbarism. They incarnate not only humanity in the sense of charity, but humankind {tself in the face of the primeval hestiality to which the war necessarily degrades man, It must be admitted, she does not mdlmtly participate in the direc of state affairs, But this will mne. Political majority will drop in lap llke a ripe fruit without ne vessitating a new exertion on her part. In France some writers, the most rigidly conservative, too, pur pose to grant the fallen soldiers the rontinued enjoyment of their voting capacity beyond death. Their nearest female relative, the wife, the mother, the sister, shall inherit it as a sacred logacy. and exercise it during her whole lifetime. If the proposition is kbarried, woman in France would en ker the political list by this mystic. door, but surely it would not last long ere her sisters who have no cher 2shed war victim to mourn for wnuld‘ follow her through the wide-open gate of a general law. After the War? But how will it all be after the MWwar? Cynics pretend: Woman will &vo other business to mind than to row herself into politics, The war works frightful havoe amon the male youth. Healthy men wfth all their limbs preserved and of mar riageable age will be scanty and, g’:reforn, eagerly sought for. Already ore the war the “epouseur” has been in Western Furope a rare article on the market, Afterward, no offer at 1 will meet the demand. The luck t woman only will sueceed in pro euring a husband. The struggle for man will become the one great occu pation of the tender sex, It will as stume new, surprising, bewlldering forms. Crazy reformers already see R::‘y,'umy legally introduced, the @ 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 grotesque incomprehension of the feminine peychology! Woman has the rich and supple capacity for adaptation which belongs to primitive nature when it has not yet become rigid in too far carried differentiation, when its pow ers of evolution are not spent. If man is scarce and unattainable, she will learn to do without him. Ehe 'will find for herself a new content of life which will Al her out, satls fy her, open to her possibilities of happiness. For she is an irrepressi ble afMirmer of life, and with her al most inexhaustible organic energles #he tends, in spite of all hostile des tinles, toward self-satisfaction. sg:':\d her yearning after the child @ 80 overpowering as to tyran ::’u her whole being and to insist peratively upon being satisfled, she will know how to conquer the right maternity in a form which will re her delicacies, true morality and 1 her noblest virtues, and will not rt her self-esteem.

She will have to Ihersell exclusively the man she de !uires as the permanent companion of her life. But her new ethical phi losophy will permit her episodic re renouncement and sacrifice of herself which the opinion of the entire com= munity, in consideration of the su preme Interest of national preserva tion, will recognize as justified and respectable. All conquests achieved by woman Idurlnx the war will be maintained and enlarged after it. Where she stands she will remain; In the ad ministrations, in industry, in com merce; and where she has not yet set her foot, there she will arrive, in the polling premises, in Parliament, in offices, in universities, In acade mies, in cabinets. A gulde-post in that direction is the recent appoint ment of a lady as an adjoint to the new food dlictator 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 society and how to keep the in tricate machinery of the collectivity golng by her own effort. She will continue to apply the acquired knowl edge. Till now woman was the ﬁner‘ sex. She 1§ about to become the' stronger sex and the determining principle in public as well as in do mestic life, After one generation, or perhapg somewhat later, through the working of that self-adjusting capacity of the species which In the case of indi vidual m‘gun*?m is called entelechy in modern lology, the breaches wrought by the war will gradually fill up and the disturbed equilibrium ‘between the seves he re-established anew. Man will then perhaps try to push Rimself 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 league for man's rights, a struggle for preponderance of man In state and soclety, frantic efforts toward the ex propriation of woman, Stump orators will appropriately change the word Sieyes applled to the Tlersetat, and exclaim: “What is man? Nothing. What ought he to be? Fverything.” But man will find it diMcult, and {borhapl Impossible, to oust woman. t Is easier to defend a place than to conquer {t, Her new functions will equip woman with all the power man has ?\lthorto enjoyed and made use of to keep her out of them. And she will, moreover, possess a particularly efMcient trump: the recognition by the collectivity that In government, In the framing and administering of the law, In administration, in educa tion, she does her work well. She will probably do it better than man. She wil] 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 ‘ mill} I nROM Sept, 30.—Ten on eggs, stored mt'sy speculators and pelized T\ Italian cities by the government, are being resold publicly at 2 cents each, half the market PHM.

There is not one pound of superfluous flesh. She is all muscle and concentrated energy. “So you want my recipe? she queried. *“Well, it {sn't easy, un less you just love the life of action— the outdoor life. Ever since I was a child 1 have played hard. I have eaten wholesome food and plenty of it and just lived, moved and had my being out in the glorious sunshine of Seattle. You see you could not do that in your dreadful climate,” she added with pitying deprecation. “And then you have no mountains to elimb, no inspiration, no wonderful motive for your long tramps and hikes.” Arises laﬂ‘ in Morning. How to live 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 tralning for professional reasons, is dp at 7 o'clock for breakfast, and from 8 to 9 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 pmctice and a busy two hours is given to dumb-bell exercise, marching tactics and general 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, “I can not understand why girls should willingly put themselves into a strait-jacket, and that is just what corsets are. Then, again, they stunt the growth of the body and rob it of {ts 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 ot\ the State University of \\’ashlnzton.‘ is physical director at the Queen Anne High School in Seattls. As to her methods of Instruction, she said: “I do not believe in any set form of tralning for girls, Different |constitutions require different instruc luon. That must be studied just as the mind of the individual is consids erced, but to everyone plenty of out door exertise and hard and earnest. 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 enttrely to the unusual strength of the lower muscles of her legs, which has been gained most ly from constant and systematie mountain climbing. She can lift with ease 380 kilos or 800 pounds, the weight being placed over the limbs above the knees. She has a grip of 40 kilos apd her total strength points reach 459 Kkilos, the highest of the class, Dr. Sargent said the men of the summer school in their sets proved only one-third stronger than the women, and that 40 per ¢ent of the men were below the two highest women in their mmrks, Aeroplanes Prove Key to Solution of Infantry and Artillery Co-operation. Continued From Page 1. ;tame the best solution of the prob em. Communication between the advan cing infantry and the artillery Isl maintained by aeroplanes, (Captail Mille says. Each 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 rQx'e 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 80 as not to hit their own men. Information is sim flarly given if the infantry happen to be 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 is mainly due to the scien tific 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 ars still contending with, larnscs from the fact that they have inot been able to smash the deadly German long-range guns. With' re ‘spect to this point both the French ‘and British headquarters bulleting have recently referred frequently to the successful work accomplished by“ their heavies in demolishing the Ger man lgng-range batteries, and the! prediction ils 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 be the fact. - Color is apparently «lent to this belief by the reports that the artillery prepa ration, which for three days preceded the latest Franco-British advance, was the greatest the war has yet known. Matrimonial Agent r 1 Ag Couldn't Keep Wife 1.08 ANGELES, Se&;. 30.—Several months ago Benjamin . Padley, pro prietor of a matrimonial agency, ad vertised through his bureau for a wife. He asked for a young, good-looking woman with means, but said that if he chose another one it would take more means to ‘‘reduce her aﬁ:." Now Mrs. Padley 60, who married the commercial “‘Cupid” lollowlng the ecir culation of his advertisement, has a suit for divorce on file, charging fallure to provide. The defendant contends that his wife, though q‘osseused of $12,- 000, refused to share the household ex penses.

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 before derby day came, thought he would like to see the race. Also he felt it would do him ne harm to stretch his legs on shore. He saw the derby, but missed the battle of Jutland. If he had seen it his observations 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 Hundreds of Thousands of Fugitive | Poles Fiock to Russian | Capital. I '~ STOCKHOLM, Sept. 30.—A Bwod-‘ ish engineer who has Just retumed‘ 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, partly 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 terlor 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. TUnder the direction of Rus sian, 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 as many big 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.” il N LAUGHS HERSELF TO DEATH.
