 zation steps in and decrees otherwise. Natures object is, therefore, frustrated. The consequence of the present day mud dle as regards the sex question is vast army of women who with stately air of decorum and discontent fill the pen sions in overpowering numbers, who live lives without aim or object, who cuddle and kiss dogs instead of babies; who hoard up much of the wealth of this country, whose mental and physical energies die for want of proper expres- sion, whose bitterness of soul is a dis grace to womanhood and a poor compli- ment to an almighty power who sent them into the world with definite and sacred mission to carry out.
 All this will have to be changed. Woman will have to be transplanted into a new order of things. No longer will it be necessary for her to stand in the market place and shout her grievances while she turns an anxious face toward the world
 After this war is over woman Is com ing into her own. And the vote is not going to do it. That idea is dead long since. No, woman is going to be the means of her own salvation, aided and supported by her proper and natural partner-man!
 Under the new dispensation all will bo different. Nature will be paramount in everything. Civilization will look after itself. There is no doubt that we are overcivilized. As the Irishman said: We must go back bit; but that1l mean we're going forward"

Far from it. It is place where one finds many lessons which it would do us wom- en good to take to heart and act upon. The happiest and most restful and con tented faces I ever saw in my life were in the harem, and among women possess ing many qualities we Western women would do we'll to emulate.

the wives know little of each other. They do not visit. They may meet as chance acquaintances do at the great Hindoo ceremonials, the religious fetes. They are presented to each other. They smile. They chat about impersonal things. That is all. They are ships that pass in the crowd.
 Jealousy? Among the native women? Yes, doubt not there is, but it never reaches the Medean point. the point Of tragedy, for as said, they rarely meet, and when they do it is by accident at some great function. They do not speak of each other They do not hear of each other.

power that belongs to her station. The rival is denied these, and because she is denied them the European wife at least enjoys the luxury of despising her.
 Polygamy will die because 1t is wrong. It is contrary to the high ideals of the heart Talk not to me of nature. We are prone to give to every impulse in us the name of nature. Humanity evolves and each state is better than the last In the sense in which you say polygamy Is na- tural, murder is natural. In moments or anger we have. the impulse to kill. But who that is sane would justify murder? It is natural that anger should rage in our hearts when we have been baffled of some desire, yet anger, we know, makes most of the miseries of life We are out of state of polygamy and al- ready 1t is regarded as a stain upon civil ization.

 Mrs. Burke Hardt-again l ask you is shc--says there are characteristics of the women of the Eastern harems which women ot the Western vcrld would do well to emulate. I grant you one. Like all peoples of the East they think in vast numbers If years. They reckon hy aeons. Their civilization Is old and calm. Their history extends into the dim beginnings of the world. That causes them to look far into the past and far inso rla future. They learn 10 wait They have infinite power to ~n1ure.

 Among those who advocate this is Mrs Frances Burke-Hard a very we'll known English writer, who. among others. has spread her views widely in the English press. One of the articles embodying her theories is printed on this page.

in New York The Maharanee was Sem orita Delgado, who became the favorite noble family, who became the favorite of the Maharajah's four wives and his numerous concubines. She gave up her own religion for that of her husband and has for number of years been a practical polygamist. Her interesting discussion of the remedy" suggested by Mrs. Burke Hardt and others and her conclusions regarding it are printed here. This is the first and only statement which the Maharanee has made in this country It is significant that. although living happily, as she says, in state of polygamy, she sets her face squarely against the ideas set forth by the English women who, while practical monoga- msts, advocate polygamy.

native women. visit them and talk
 with them when must. But we nave nothing in common, save children. They talk of nothing but their homes and children They knownothing else. Their minds are dwarfed, They are of the mental stature of little child. The life there is so different from that Of the women of Europe and America that the difference is incomprehensible. To un- derstand you must live there, have seen day after day, and wearily tried to talk with the stunted creatures. Then you would know that cannot be jealous of one of them. Could you be jealous or a dog?
 Polygamy is impossible in Europe for two reasons Europe is Christian land. It would never embrace Mohamedanism which permits polygams The spirit Of the old martyrs would rise in them At tempt to introduce Mahomedanism into Europe and q war more terrible than that which is now rendng it would follow. war yet more devastating, for 1t would be war of extermination.
 It is for another reason not to be for one moment seriously considered. That is that the women of Europe are too en- frightened to accept it.
 There is phrase we often encounter and at which we smile. It is "The war of the sexes" There is no war between the sexes There are misunderstandings. differences, needs of adjustment. of look ing at life through each others glasses, of standing as it were in the same place to view the problems of the world ]pt there would be a war of the sexes should a male government enact laws seeking to establish poygamy, There would be murder individual and wholesale. It would turn women into furies
 Polygamy is an evil to men, It is an evil to women. It is an evil to children. It is bad for men because it causes them to worry. When there is dissent.on in his home man is distracted His eff ciency in the world of business is di- minished. Poiygamy is bad for women because it causes heartaches and heart burnings. It creates spirit Of rebel lion, for women, no matter how unin- telligent, knows that it is wrong. It is bad for the children because they have sense of not belonging anywhere. You have had in your own country polygamy. l have heard of the ridiculous practices in a place you call Utah. know also that the polygamy itself you first regarded as fire and tried to stamp it out. Then you learned that it is cancer and you must cut it out That is a universal truth.
 I know quite well that your mind will ask: "Why does the European woman rebel against another wife. when she sub mits to rival?" I answer: First be- cause rival is as rule transitory evil. She is trouble that visits the home and departs. But wife would be an awful fixture. At any rate the European wife does not without protest submit to the existence of her husbands rival. Hers is the outward patience of the per sons suffering from disease. The custom of having rival Is social disease. There is ever in the heart of the sufferer the hope of a cure.

ITALY WILL fIsHT WITH ALLIES
First BLOW to Be Struck When General
Attack Il Made Upon Central Empires

From persons in close touch with
the war situation, As it affects Italy.
there has been obtained information
which indicates that the government
has arrived at an understanding
with Great Britain and France con-
corning the terms upon which Italy
will enter the war if she eventually
decides to do so. This information.
while unofficial, is gathered from
men who have made a close and
careful study of the situation. The
agreement is described as follows:
First, a provision for concerted
military action. Italy will refrain
from hostilities during the present
stage of desultory trench warfare,
which would enable Germany and
Austria to concentrate a large part
of their forces against her. She will
time her blow contemporaneously
with a general effort by all the OPP
ponents of the central empires now
in the field.
Second, an understanding concern
ing the territory to be awarded TO
Italy in the event of victory.
Third. a provision that after the
war an alliance shall be formed be-
tween Italy and the present triple
entente of Great Britain. France and
Russia.
1t is intimated that at the outset
Great Britain was not disposed to
make terms with Italy, but that It
ally firmly declined to consider join
ing the Allies without first having
reached a definite agreement with
them concerning the nature and
time of her cooperation, boundary
re-adjustments after the war and
permanent assistance from the Al
lies. Italy is said to have received
powerful assistance from French di.
plomacy in reaching the desired un-
