the defrauded women have not even ac-

which, although externally faultless is
really honeycombed with excessive vices.

Even the wearer's walk is affected, and the

In New York city the enormous hat has not

concluded and II has yielded revelations of
a most astounding character. 1t turns out
that proportinately a far greater number
OF habitual criminals are drawn from the
aristocracy than from any other class of
society in Germany, Austria and four
other European countries.
The reason for this extraordinary condi-
ton of affairs is not difficult to explain.
First and foremost the system of inherit
ing rank and titles in force in all Euro
pean countries except England leads to the
degradation and decentralization OF hun
dreds of arsistocrats. In England a title in
the peerage descends from father TO eldest
son. while the younger sons and their de-
scendants become commoners. Not in
other European. countries. Here the rank
and title OF the father pass to every one
of his sons, that II a count has twelve
sons they al! became counts, not, as in
England after his death, but from the
moment of their birth.
In the second generation one count may
thus progeRitate 144 counts, and within q
few generations the number Of counts IN

this particular family may swell into thou
sands. Remembering the large numbers of
noble families in Germany Austria, Hun
gary and other countries. it will be seen
that there are vast numbers Of aristocrats
In existence on this side of the Atlantic.
Unfortunately for them. they are not
taught to earn their own living or to make
their own way in the world, but they are
brought up to regard themselves as su-
perior caste Of mankind, to which all other
inferior classes must .'kow-tow' with due
respect
The Inevitable result Is that instead OF
adopting honest occupations by which they
could earn their daily bread by the sweat
Of their brow. they consider 1t necessary to
remain idle in order to maintain their pres
tige and aristocratic honor. Their incomes,
however, are In the vast majority of cases
far too small to enable them to live in ac-
cordance with the standard OF luxury of
their class. SO that they are in course Of
time driven to supplement their revenues
byndishonest practices
The most unscrupulous swindlers In Eu-
ropean countries are. as oh1cial statistics

fraud to spare themselves the necessity of

countries. The following passages from a
manifesto issued by the league reveal very
clearly its aims and the seviis which 1t
hopes to abolish or at least to modify:
Fellow Aristocrats: We are approaching
a crisis in the history of our order. The
aristocracies of Europe are becoming cor
rupt and decadent At our best we are Gym
tcal, cod, passjonless creatures, devoted to
the pursuit of pleasure and useless pur-
poses. We contract marriages not for
love- but for money and rank, and our chill
dren are brought up in absolute dishar
mony with the spirit of the age. Vice is
rife among the best circles of our order,
and marriage vows are made only to be
broken by aristocrats of both sexes Still
worse conditions prevail among the less
prosperous men and women of noble birth
and descent. Noblemen supply the greatest
proportion of swndlers and criminals of
various classes. as well as of other types
of degraded man. Day by lay noblemen
are perpetrating offenses which are dis

which would not bear investigation. Others
victtrntze tradesmen, taking large quanti-
ties of goods on credit by virtue of their
proud names in titles and never paying for
them. Others choose to defraud hotels by
taking expensive suites of rooms and eating
and thinking most luxuriousy till the day

Others again, the vilest Of their kind,
systematically victimize women and girls,
who, daZzled by their high rank, their titles
and their seductive manners, easily fall
into the trap laid for them by the aristo-
cratic adventurers. Sometimes the noble
parasites marry their victims to obtain pos
session of their fortunes, after which they
maltreat the unhappy wives mercilessiy
and squaunder their riches to the last cent.

sIiIve TO remove this reproach from the
records OF our order and to wipe out this
seaih on our aristocratic honor"
The manifesto closes with a warm appeal
10 arlstocrats OF all degrees and all coun-
tries OF Europe to cooperate in the new
crusade, the naive suggestion being added
that the recipients of this extraordinary
appeal shall abstain from immortality for
a year" the signatories apparently believ-
ing that good start on the path of recti-
tude is half the battle
Naturally enough this appeal has met
with very cool reception among those
arlstocrats to whom it was addressed
Many most prominent aristocrats simply
ignored its receipt. Others expressed their
dissent In forcib!e language. One eminent
prince returned the manifesto with tho
word rubbish written in blue pencil over
the front. Others replied that they would
nave nothing to do with superfuous Cruz
sade. THE aristocrats always We're still
remain and forever will be the salt of the
earth, wrote one nobleman, land l. for
one, decline to acknowledge that our class
needs regeneration
Other S6aited personaSes wrote that IL
they chose to be immoral or to ignore their
marriage vows. that was their own busi-
ness and not the business Of any one else
in the world. wherefore they requested to
be left In peace to pursue their own incli-
nations without the Interference and CEN
sorship Of impertinent crusaders
These replies are, in fact, typical of the
reception accorded to the new movement
among the very class for whose benefit 1t
was inaugurated. The European aristocra-
cies do not want to be regenerated and
will not be rescued from their vices They
regard the crusade as an unjustified at
tempt to interfere with their pleasures and
pastimes, and consider that the busybodies
who started the movement ought to be de-
graded into some plebeian environment.
The aristocracies of Europe will not admit
their fmperfections: they remain blind to
warnings and will continue to pursue their
own selhsn and immoral careers regardless
OF the consequences to society and to them
selves. This is the gist of the replies re-
ceived to the appeals issued broadcast by
the new league. whose efforts are thus con-
demned at the outset to failure just be-
cause the aristocrats themselves will have
none of the new crusade.
