hurst, who is of course the leader in this
active warfare, made at least one grave
mistake, l must bow to the tremendous
bravery Of the woman who has been will
ling to face ridicule. the hardest thing
in the world, as well as all sorts and kinds
of personal abuse and hardship in order
to force the issue.
"The one grave mistake believe has
been in her attitude toward the Prime
Minister. whose promise she practically
ignored, refusing TO compromise when it
seemed to me that compromise was the
wise and efIicacious reading at that time
Of the agitating question, and while year
or so might have been lost without any
manifestation of activity it would have
been more than compensated for in other
directions tending toward final, ami
cable adjustment.
In England and in America too
have been asked many times concerning
the opposition Of Mrs. Asquth. who as
Miss Tenant was known to have stood
in the van Of progress and was supposed
even to lead the van. ! have had my
statement on this ubject, that she was not
opposed but simply Indifferent, met with
the natural rejoinder that indifference in
a woman of her position was equivalent
to opposition, and of course bow to the
truth of that point of view.
Il lunched with her just before my de-
parture and she again made her position
clear and declared that she was surprised
that such an erroneous view Of her atti-
tude should prevail. Mr.. Asquith, she
said could not be turned from his stand
and if it were in her power she would not
want to do or say anything that might
interfere with his personal conviction,
but that she had never done anything to
oppose the movement and never should,
and that her conduct had always been
consistent with this creed.
MIR. Asquith's views are practically
those Of Mr.. Chamberlain, but even the
leaders Of the anti-suffrage movement
have stopped holding up the bugbear
OF war as an irresistible barrier. Those
who are familiar with the dignity and
control shown by women in the South
African war as we'll as their splendid
work have to admit having in mind
the notable events after the relief OF
Ladymith and Mafeking. that the only
hysteria shown was that of the Stock
Exchange
1T has been one Of the pet theories
that women, being so much more emo
tional than men, would demand war to
wipe out insults If need be and that
by reason of their parliamentary power
they would recklessly plunge the coun-
try into any sort or kind Of warfare that
could be easily arranged. On the other
hand an equal number Of opponents have
called attention to the fact that on ac-
count of that excess Of sentiment women
" ould hesitate to vote for war even when
it was absolutely demanded for fear
Of the loss of husbands. sons and other
relatives. Naturally the alb
surdity Of this dual contention has been
SO apparent that we. are spared further
argument along that line.
In fact all the arguments have be-
come so riddled with holes that they are

1T is now merely a matter Of a suitable
adjustment OF conditions. The whole
trend Of modern thought is toward the
belief in the psychic force, and the last
stand made on the ground OF physical
weakness is met uncomprom isingly by
tho statement OF fact that strength is
not physical but psychic matter.
