Such was the unusual viewpoint ex-
pressed today by Miss Constance
Drexel wealthy young peace worker

Hague peace conference and is hero
to attend the convention OF the con-
gressional union for women's suffrage.
"War brides are somewhat Of flc-
tion," she continued. Few girls were
forced into unwelcome marriages.
Marriages that had been contemplated
were merely rushed. The woman ma
ture wanted little touch Of affection
before the sweetheart died on the
battlefield, that was all. That women
will cease to bear children as a means
Of halting war Is equally a fiction.
Miss Pankhurst was undoubtedly
right when she said polygamy will
be practiced after the war. But polyg-
amy or war brides are not the real
tragedy. The tragedy is IN robbing
the homes OF husbands. fathers and
sweetheArts.
