Furstcn is almost amusing in his final para
graph: 81 beg the American people to consider
this side of the great case before US, and
if my own country wins l beg that they frankly
drop all pose of overcivilization and be frankly
what they are, barbarians, with the force and
vigor the simple code and splendid belief in them
selves that the world has greatly lost and so
greatly needs" 1t is interesting to hear that
the American people can be accused of pose
of overcvilization" and that in our nature we are
"barbarians." 1t is also astonishing to be told
that any people need the Splendid belief in them
selves that the world has so greatly lost" Is it
really true that there is so much modesty lying
about? Some of us have been inclined to think
that great many of the troubles the world
has been suffering from can be traced to con-
cet and arrogance and to the quality that in
variably goes with them, impudence. Fursten is

In other words, according to this recationary
writer who presumptuously and falsely claims
to speak for whole nation. woman is important
only as she keeps herself subordinate to man and
bears children according to his WILL the male
children naturally, being taught to gorify force
and to look down woman as IAN inferior"
The pcrcfct woman is the perfect housekeeper,
who keeps house "for her man" and makes child
bearing a matter of "single-hearted devotion"
In this kind of devotion there is, apparently,
something different from "tenacity of purpose"
The almost fcrocious loyalty of women to their
children is not included here. What is most of
value in force and tenacity of purpose is evil

qualities that glorfy by destroying.

"ln domestic life this edifying writer goes
on. "we have stuck to the twelfth century; our
attitude toward women, perhaps, belongs earlier.
We consider her an inferior being because she
lacks the qualities which we value most force
and tenaclty of puropse but we greatly respect
in her that function for which she is best fitted.
a function which she has been allowed to neglect
under what are called the higher civilizations,
much to the detriment of France at this mo-
ment, The Germans word for women in mass
is not polite one. When he wishes to speak
OF her with respect he calls her wife and by
choice and training through centuries he has de-
veloped an almost perfect type, a woman who,
whether high or low in class, will keep the house
for her man and bear him children with single
hearted devotion"

By JOHN KENDRICK BANGS.
The Washington herald., 1915-01-23

There is almost epic simplicity in this
statement: "To the war is still war; not
game played by nice international rules, but fire
and sword, battle and murder and rape The
countries that armies fight over will not
defy us again and shall, | hope in a few
months, prove to the world the effectiveness of
our system Consequently if military Germany
successful force will be established as an ideal
Of the world, crowned with success associated
with the nation considered greatest. Now we see
war as it really is. ruthlcssly opposed to all man
kind has been working for in its efforts to reach
civilization. You call us barbarians," says Fur
stem, but is that a term of reproach? You say
that a German victory will put the worlds
progress back for century, but is that loss?"
The answer to both these questions would be,
Yes. Has not the of humanitariansm and
regard for human life gone too far?" Fursten
wants to know. 1t has not gone too far. 1t has
not gone far enough. Moreover, to describe the
humantarianism of today as wave is mis-
leading. 1t is a development, a growth an ap-
proximation of complete humanity. 1t is going
on in Germany, as in every other great country,
