American Women as Political Agents

Berlin, Aug. 22.-The Staatsburger
Zeitung today comes out with a strong
denunciation of what it terms the perni-
cious influence of American women in
European politics. The paper says !:
"The most prominent European states
men, diplomatists, and politicians marry
American girls who thereby obtain UNI
bounded influence over their public acts.
This tends to democratize Europe aud
produce other dangerous consequences.
This is serious phase of the American
peril. American wives are really politi-
cal agents of the Western Republic, away
from America.
