now working with great show of ulti-
mate success the formation of an Afro
American militia regiment.
"Half a Man" has an introduction
written by Prof. Franz Boas, who is
himself the author of 1.-THE Mind of
Primitive Man," in which he states
that within one hundred years the
people of the United States will have
absorbed all the immigrant blood of
the thousands of foreigners who have
flocked to this country, including that
of the Negro, which he declares will
be a good thing. He says further:
II hope the discussions contained
in these pages have shown. that the
data of anthropology teach US a great
er tolerance Of forms of civilization
different from our own, and that we
should learn to look upon foreign races
with greater sympathy and with the
conviction, that, as all races have
contributed in the past to cultural
progress in one way or another, so
they will be capable of advancing the
interests of mankind, if we are only
willing to give them a fair opportuni-
ty."

CHANCE TO OBTAIN WIVES
Turkish Government Doesn't Know
How to Dispose Of 400 From For
mer SuItan's Harem.

Has anyone any use for 400 wives?
If so, the Turkish government would
like to get into communication with
them. This is the number of women
contained in the harem of the former
sultan, and the problem Of their dis
pOsal is becoming serious one. Most
of them are natives of Albania and
been made to return them to their
friends and relatives, but the latter
absolutely refuse to receive the wom-
en-, having, apparently, no further use
for them. Under these circumstances,
the authorities at Constantinople are
in something Of quandary, since the
cost of their maintenance is con-
siderable item; and as many Of them
are quite young girls it would seem
as though they will remain a burden
on the state for many years to come
unless someone or other can be in
duced to take them over.
The situation is distinctly humor.
Gus one, but it is not the form of
humor that appeals to the Turkish
government, and the cold-blooded sug-
gestion has been brought forward that
they should be disposed of summarily.
There is small chance of this awful
suggestion being carried into effect,
however, owing to the firm attitude of
the foreign ambassadors at Constan-
tinople, who insist that the women
shall be treated with due respect and
consideration.-Mode Society.
