London. April Special In no other country in the world have women in high places the power in politics they enjoy in England. There was a time. not many years ago; in fact, in the early days of the reign of the late king Edward. when those who knew the inside of affairs in this country realized that, because Of the power CT certain extremely clever members of the fair sex, England was what might be called petticoat rule. While that is by no means true today neverthe- less it is certain that a handful of women. the wives of the more prom- nent members of the British cabinet possessed of ample brains and person. si1ties as strong If not stronger, han those of their husbands, form whsst might be called a subsidiary ca ninet which has tremendous influence on affairs
 Indeed it is true that. beyond their husbands, no other persons in Great Britain, not even the 15 or more other members of the British cabinet itself. possess such an intimate knowledge of the exact state of affairs from day to day. It Is known that the secrets of the war office. the foreign office, the admiralty and the colonial office are most jealously guarded. The heads or these various departments are verit- able dictators and autocrats in their own spheres of action. accountable, at
