vASSAR HEARS AND
CHEERS THE BARON
Girls Infer That He Recommends
International Marriages as a
Peace Measure.
CONTINUED on page ~

Poughkeepsie, May 21.-AN the brain
and beauty Of Vassar beamed smiles yes
terday on Baron 'Estournelles de Con-
stant. the Partisan, as he idealized the
future of women and urged further pro-
fressivenesS Of the sex. The baron had
stopped off on his journey to Lake Mo-
honk. where no is to attend the peace
conference. President Taylor of Vassar
met him and he was given royal re-
ception by the undergraduates, whom he
consented to address.
1t spread quickly through the college
that he was an advocate of woman S
pogressiveness, and when he appeared
before the student body he was cheered
vociferously.
Not a few people" he said, "are be-
coming greatly alarmed at the progress
of the feminist movement, that is, peo-
pie of n certain type. They speak of II
with the same scorn that their father
spoke 40 years ago OF social reforms, of
r1odern music and OF drgible balloons
THE scoffers will soon change their at
titudes; to defend the cause Of women
Is to serve the cause Of peace"
Every tradition Of tyranny is bound
up in and falls back upon the domina-
tion Of woman. Insofar as man re-
nounces these traditions of domina-
tron, woman breathes freely and tho
standard of society 10 raised.
"The fact that woman Is weak does
not in itself explain why she is not
properly treated. Man is not as bad
as all that. and, in any case, woman
| has other weapons as powerful as
| force with which to oppose him.
"a woman marries a man from an
other land. some unforeseen diplo-
| matte complication makes this man
| her enemy, or at any rate the enemy
of her country and brother. In sucl
situation viii she be asked to-day

1.-THE influence Is constantly spread

working secretly against war"
| The Inference drawn by many Of the
students was that he was recommend
ing international marriages as one
means Of bringing closer internationa
relations.

The town itself could not have stood
