Strong Men. Strong Women

G AID Mrs. Pankhurst in a speech the other
~ day: THE Germans are not good
PSYCHOLOGISTS. They should have known that
the country in which the women have cOur-
age to fight is country where YOU will find
courage in men. Where YOU have
women crushed you will find men OF in
feror quality"
That is to say. England has women who
have courage TO fight. and in England the
women are not crushed, therefore, tho men
are OF superior quality. But Mrs Pank-
hurst, if the women are not crushed in Eng
land, then what the women fighting
about? Wasn't il just a few months ago
that you and your friends burned. pillage
wrecked, and even urged personal violence
on the ground that the women were being
crushed and should be crushed no longer?
And since when has the crushing ceased?
Has Winston Churchill given over being stub
born? Has Lloyd George turned the treas
ury over 10 the feminists?
OF the German lack in psychology some
authorities, such as Professor Munstcrberg
might hold different view, but Mrs Pank-
hurst certainly is lame in her logic. The
lady fails to cohere.

pugilism on the Decline

a NEW heavyweight champion has
a emerged from the ring The fact that
he is the White Mans Hope has awakened
Il certain amount Of enthusiasm, but il is in
ccmparahly less than in the battles OF the
past, when the whole country waited fever
ishy for news Of Sullivan. Corbett Fitz-
simmons and Sharkey. Pugilism is a dying
institution, and, if any proof of the fact were
needed, 1t can be furnished by the recent fight
Prize fighting has certain clever and ap-
pcaling advocates. among whom is Conan
Doyle, the novelist. The apologists for the
ring maintain that we are in danger OF be-
coming too highly civilized and that il is
necessary TO retain little element of
brutality In our life for the conservation OF
manhood ii all brutal practices are sup
pressed. they argue we shall become race
OF mollvcoddlcs.
This plea has deceived good many peo-
pie; it should not any longer after the reyela-
lions Of this year. Civilization has advanced
by giant strides; brutality has been largely
eliminated from the life Of modern nations
hut there is no visible diminu,ion in the
quality Of the race. Never in all history
have men shown such a disregard for death
as have the troops OF all the nations engaged
in this war. Never before has there been
such machinery o! destruction, never, even
in the Napolconic wars, such loss OF life.
time and again masses Of soldiers have gone
to their fate without nching as the Ger
mans at Mons and the User and the British
AT Neuve Chapellc. No deterioration in
courage has been noted rather an increase
since modern war is far grimmer ana more
appalling than that OF the past.
Many savage practices have gone; manhood
remains. When the Purtans put an end TO
that horrible pleasure OF our ancestors known
as bear batting, they lost no military virtues
Nor shall we lose anything when prize fight
ing has passed away.
