wesperate Plans for Repairing

By FRANCOIS GRIBBLE,
Noted British Writer.
Our English judges, magistrates

of the collateral avils of the war
The view of the German leaders of

for bigamy, but even for polygamy,

Rumors of a movement In that

lady, at once time a governess, to her
former KEnglish patrona, She had
wuccessfully reslsted a rnnurt- to
which her two sisters had yielded,
'hese sisters had, under “official”
susploes, contracted unions as the
result of which they expeoted shortly
to become mothers, and they would,
in due ocourse, receive a peouniary re
ward for the services they were thus
rendering to the community.
Another rumor, similar and sup

On top of these reports we get a
pamphlet published at Cologne by a
certain Herr Karl Hermann Torges,
sotting the stamp of philosophical ap
proval on these polygamous (or ra
iher, polyanirous) proceedings. The
title of this remarkable work is “Tha

Means for the Creation of & New and

It preaches polygamy as a religion

BEERLESS COUNTRY.
LONDON, Jan. 26-—-Ber has never
been 8o scarce in Northampton as it ?u
today. Beveral hotels are vm{out it,
and over 70 par cent of the llcensed
houses are closed from a similar cause.

ita man power. The second ghjsct,
not less clearly, 18 to provide the
country with an inferlor caste of citf
rens, who wil! be, to all Intents uml‘
purposes, slaves. The mothers will!
rarely be able to afford to retain the|
children, even if they desire to do so, |
aftr they have been cast off by thelr!
ler'?{nrary husbandg,
6 lmmedlate fortune of the in
fanta, therefore, will be that of found
lings; and, in the end, the boys will
become. a caste of soldiers llke the
Turkish Janissaries, and the girls a
cante of domestic gervants in time of
peace and munition workers in time
of war. All that, admittedly, in order
that Germany may recover quickly
from her losses and rear a fresh breed
of Huns to overrun Europe again in
another twenty years' time.
The proposal, put forward in oold
blood, supported by philosophic argy
ments and a snuffling appeal to piety,
Is as good a proof as one could have
of the moral decadence which the war
has brought about in Germany. The
onl( question is, wlll the plan work?
We may confldently answer that it
will not, and for two reasons:
In the first place, polygamy hu|
never vet in the history of the world‘
resulted in any rapid and abnon?:l
inerense of the -opulation, In e'
second place, the plan, so carefully
drawn up, s a mun‘u’glun. and can
‘not possiblv be carried into effect
\ without the candid co-operation of the
women: and that oordial co-operation
’l- hardly likely to be secured without
stronger inducements than Herr
Torges in at present holding out to
them. I'or there are some results
which even German organization, in
genlous as it 18, can not accomplish,
It may be granted, indeed, that ‘l.
desire for motherhood springs eter.
nally in the breasts of spinsters. It
{m\y also ‘b% g’;nnt:d z\at that d“I:N
8 not klille y e knowledge that
there are no husbands q‘nnmodludy
avallable. 8o far, Herr Torges s
right. But he is wrong If he imag-
Ines any considerable number of sp’fi
sters are anxious, or even willing, to
bear children which will be called
for, as soon as they are born, by some
functionary of the state and carried
off to workhouses or foundling hos
lplwl. there to be trained to be the
domestic servants of thelr more fortu
nate married sisters, He might as
hopefully oall upon Mrs. I;uvmh to
bear children for Punch to throw out
of the window.
German Woman's Protest.
Nor is the idea of bearing children
to be soldlers likely to appeal to Ger
man women in the near future. A
notable utterance by one of them-—-
Frau Ellen Pasche - was lately print
ed in The Berliner Tageblatt:
“Are we young women who have
bright young children playing around
us to sacrifice them, too, In twenty
years' time? It must not be. Or are
women to bear children merely as food
for powder? That also 18 hard to ad
mit, German women must now bear
many ohildren to fill up the gaps that
have been made; but not for war—no,
for an eternal and blessed peace.”
As long as German women talk like
that there Is not the least prospect of
their acoeding to Herr Torges' polyga
mous propositions for the purpose of
supplying the Kaiser with a new
army; and even the gowor of Prus
slan militariem will be incapable of
compelling them to do so.
