AMERICAN
WOMEN LACK
CULTURE

European literature is interested in
the American man who has supplied
1t with a type. This type, to be sure
is incorrect and deceiving; II not in
vented out of whole cloth 1t is ex-
aggerated, incomplete and convention
al to puerile degree. Nevertheless
It is clearly outlined, expressive and
picturesque.
But as for the American woman
you will seek her in vain in Eur
opesn literature. She Is not there.
She has not inspired novelists; dram,
atists have passed her by with in
difference.
The American man is little known
in Europe. II he Is but diplomat
or consul, and has not the profes-
sional obligation Of living in society
he does not, as a rule, seek to mingle
with Europeans. He usually sticks
to his fellow countrymen whom he
meets in their clubs and exclusive
homes.
On the other hand, one meets the
American woman everywhere. she
shines wherever living is expensive,
wherever people are slaves to fash
ion. en- her attention centers at
the fGgilonable summer resorts or
those famed for winter sports al
cosmo, olitan watering places, on the
Cote Azur in Paris.
She fishes for invitations and gets
plenty of them. She is never alb
sent from any Of the places where
by the law governing the wealthy
class, one must be If one wishes to
count. Moreover, she is almost al
ways striklngly beautiful. often
charming, always elegant and possess
ing irreproachable taste-a paryenue
on account of the prices that she
pays for everything, but never on
account of her choice of colors and
styles.
She likes to associate with Europ
cans and makes no mystery about
this elective sympathy of hers but
in spite of this, she is not repaid in
kind except in the necessarily limited
circles of dowry hunters. She Is

Scotch Crowd Hostile

Dumbarton, Scotland, July s.
Militant suffragets made desperate
efforts today to attract the attention
Of King George and Queen Mary who
are making a tour through Scotland.
At Bslloch bridge at the foot of Loeb
Lomond, the women cut down all the
decorations, and at Dalmuir, ten miles
from Glasgow they managed to break
out a huge banner bearing the words,
Your majesty, stop the forcible feed
ing and torturing of women" across
the route as the procession arrived
At the same time one woman armed
with a megaphone, howled denuncia-
lions of forcible feeding.
Neither the king nor the queen
paid the slightest attention, but the
crowd displayed such hostile atti.
tude that the militant suffra gets beat
hasty retreat.

sole object in life is to leave her ri.
walls behind. If one woman has a
neck ace OF seven strings of pearls
she wants ten strings. If another
has big jewels hers must be bigger
yet. II someone has paid 500 900

broidered in precious stones she must
have her teeth incrusted with them.
Those are her thoughts, those the
ideas that occur to her. Her strong
est feeling-perhaps her only one--is
self alteration.
And who would be so unjust as to
condemn her choice? This excessive
love OF self is systematically cult
waited in her. The American man
has raised her to the rank OF ahso-
lutte mistress and sovereign; he
serves her with docility and peas
ure. Her sensbilities diminish and
her soul is impoverished in proper
ton as her jewel box is enriched.
All that man offers her she accepts
calmly as her due. 1t seems to her
perfectly natural that man should
toll for her like slave under the
yoke of his professional duties. or
swept away by madness, risk himself
on the perilous tight rope of specu-
lation, in order to satisfy her bound
less eXactions.

mercilous hunt for millions and more

against which the American people
are beginning to revolt. The gold

on ICONS of the Rue de "a PAX, be-
cause she does not confine herself
merely to buying, but pays for what
she buys, a quality which differenti.
ates her sharply from fashionable
European customers, even Of the high.
est class.
Painters and musicians pay court
to her, dreaming of having her pose
for portrait, or of obtaining her pa
tronage for a concert, or of being
chosen to contribute something to
the program at her sofrees.
But independent persons, those who
expect nothing from her, feel not in
the least attracted, and remain in
different to her. She fails to become
an intellectual center or to pay any
role in society except that Of brutal
opulence.
There is no dearth Of American
women who have made Paris their
permanent residence and live there
in lavish style, to say nothing OF
those others who, by marriage, have
entered the first families of the Eur
opean aristocracy and, by virtue OF
their name, coat OF arms and coro-
net, and the no less efiicacious pow
err of their millions, belong to the
most exclusive circles. Neverthe-
less, there has not been found among
them, so far a Princess Lieven or a
Princess Troubetzkoi, a Belgiojoso,
or a Castiglione, far less Countess
Of Noailles, and not even a Duchess
of Pomar.
What Is the reason for this?
The American woman possesses
everything that passes for a quality
IN a lady of society, but she lacks
one. the supreme thing, the most del
icate of sessions-culture
Apparently America is unable to
give her this. Externally she is i'm
peccable. But at heart she remains
a barbarian, who has not yet grasp
ed the profound meaning of European
civilization, of our refinement Of
thought and sentiment. She is incap
able of understanding the higher
values OF our life.
The American woman has not cul
ture, because the American man has
none and demands none from his
mate. All that he asks from her Is
that she be beautiful and elegant
She must he admired in order tina
he may be envied; she must be on'
of the acknowledged queens Of thu
smart set.
The misfortune OF the American
woman is that she has no ideal. He

A MYSTERY SOLVED
Youth at Great Bend, Kan. Ad-
mits Staying Three Per-
sons Near Heiser.
GIVES DETAILS OF THE CRIME
cupants of Farm House Were Shot
Down in Cold Blood.

Great Bend, Kas.-After making
many careful inquiries as to the
penalty for murder, Thomas White, 81
years old of this city, is said by the
authorities to have confessed to the
killing on a farm near Heiser, Barton
county, on September IL, of Lee Nor
gan, a farmer; Mrs. Wayne McQuil-
Ian, housekeeper, and Clarence Nc
Quin, the latter a farm hand, IS years
old. He mentioned an accomplice, it
is said, and gave the motive as cupid
ity. The two expected to find the
proceeds of a sale of 5000 bushels of
wheat, but $1.25 was all they found
in the farmhouse.
White also is declared to have
stated that Lee Morgan was the cause
of the separation of his parents when
he was a child and of the ruin of his
13-year-old sister.
Quarrel is Alleged
On the day of the murder, according
to his alleged statement, White had
a quarrel with Morgan, with whom he
sometimes made his home, over back
pay owed the youth as a farmland.
A friend of Whites heard the CONVEX
sation. Morgan is said to have cursed
him and denied the debt. When the
farmer left, the friend told White he
ought to get Morgan
According to his story, White then
rented a shotgun from a relative and
purchased some shells. The two
friends hired a livery rig and drove
to the Morgan farm.
They approached the house eau
tionsly. White stood guard at the
front door, he says, while his I'M
named friend crept up to the window
his housekeeper and farm hand were
sitting at the dinner table. The farm
hand, frightened by the explosion of
the gun, leaped back from the table
and dashed out the front door As
he did so White opened fire, shooting
McGuin four times The last shot was
discharged with the muzzle placed
close to McGuins skull as he lay pros
trate and dying at Whites feet.
Meanwhile Mrs. McQuillan ran from
the house and attempted to rescue
the farm hand and was promptly shot
down by the other man.
House Thoroughly Searched.
The two then entered the farm
house and searched it thoroughly for
money. They found only the small
amount mentioned. White thereupon
closed all the doors and extinguished
the light SO as not to attract the at
tenticn of neighbors to the tragedy.

MUST Obey CENSOR
Government Will Not Allow
Courts to Interfere With
Order of Neutrality.
POWER TO CLOSE STATIONS
Secretary Daniels Notifies Marconi
Company that President Wilson
Can Shut Down Plants.

Washing ton.-Secretary Daniels of
the navy department has made it
clear that he does not propose to al
low litigation in the courts to inter
fere with the enforcement by the
United States government of neu-
trality at all wireless stations.
Robert Ford, local representative of
the Marconi Company, called on Mr..
Daniels and was shown a copy of the
opinion by Attorney General Gregory,
setting forth that the president had
absolute right to censor messages or
close stations whenever he deemed
it necessary for the preservation of
the tcountry's neutrality. Mr.. Daniels
had before him a telegram from the
Marconi Company asking that action
on Thea alleged violation of the Sias-
consett station in receiving a message
from the British cruiser Suffolk be
postponed until the rights of the gov
eminent could be determined in a
suit being prepared for the federal
courts.
The secretary said he would for
mally reply to the telegram from the
Marconi Company after he had con-
ferred with officials of the depart
ments of state and Justice.
To callers Mr. Daniels explained,
however, that the attorney general
had said that the president, as COM
mander-in-chief of the army and navy,
had practically unlimited powers lin
time of public peril" The present is
held to be such a case, as failure to
enforce strict neutrality might easily
involve the United States in war.
The American government, it was
pointed out, furthermore has nego-
tiated the entire question of cable,
wireless and telegraph communica-
tion with the belligerent governments,
and under the terms of an agreement
reached with Great Britain and Ger
many the only form or communica-
ton which it was agreed would be
censored was wireless.
The handling of the cable or tele-
graph messages is not held by the adj
ministration here to be in the same
class as wireless, because cable and
telegraph messages so uninterrupted
ly from the United States to neutral
or bel1igerent territory, while wireless
messages, in passing from the United
States to another country, may be
picked up by ships at sea and actually
threaten commerce, thus making the
shores of the United States the basis
OF hostile operations.

Portland, Ore-Eighty men, women
and children, coastwise passengers
and crew, on the three-masted steam
schooner Francis H. Leggett were
drowned when the Leggett was pound
ed to pieces in a gale, sixty miles be-
low the mouth of the Columbia river.
Two men were picked up by passing
steamers and carried to Astoria and
Portland, where they told how the sea
tore the vessel to pieces and how the
passengers we're drowned, a boat load
at a time, as the life boats put off, or
met their fate little later when the
vessel turned completely over.
