Wife of Former Christian Mem
Der of Turkish Parliament

States and to the pan-American world

It would be to Completely isolate any
country declaring war on another just
as a naughty child is isolated in d
dark closet" Nine. Thoumaian, a Swiss
by birth, wife of a former Christian
member of the Ottoman parliame 1t,
and representative Of the in%ternatioh-
al every woman movement fol-
peace, has arrived in Washington. SIM
will disseminate her views on the
great problem that vexes the old world
and then visit other cities Of the Unit
ed States, as she has those of Euro
pean and South American neutral ma
tons. Nine. Thoumaian was seen at
the Young Women's Christian Asso-
citation to which organization she
comes accredited.
She holds that the European war
will never end unless it is stopped by
neutral countries. AS an alterna-
tive to ceasing hostilities, she holds
out what she regards as a strong prob
ability, an invasion of civilized Europe
by a horde Of millions ofMohamme-
dams, who, she declares, are only wait
ing a hcance to carry their religion
by a horde Of millions Of Mohamme-
through Europe to the Atlantic, leay-
ing a chance to carry their religion

Does Not Blame Prophets Followers.
Nine. Thoumaian does not blame
the followers of the prophet for their
desire to ravish Europe, declaring they
are sincere in the belief that they are
pursuing holy iniunctions in so doing.
ut is the sin | would punish, not
the Sinners" she says.
There are 35O,oOO,OO0 Mohamme-
dams in ASIA" she declares. "How
many millions of fighters that means
| cannot tell, but it means every male
of military age. They are armed. and
II they cannot use their weapons they
will fight with their teeth, fists and
nails. At this time the Arabs are
pouring across the desert to meet the
Turks, their ancient enemies, but now
consolidated with them to advance
upon Europe, IL Europe grows much
weaker with war. And the foolish
Christians, instead OF uniting against
them, continue to war among them
selves.

peace must be made; but how?
admire Henry Ford, but It Is simply 4
foolish to imagine that a group OF del
egates from n nation or many ma :
lions can effect a cessation OF hos
%tilities. The nations made war;; other
nations must stop It."
Nine. Thoumaian, who resides in
England and was a delegate to the
peace conference at The Hague in
April, 1915, is advocating a plan for
peace as formulated by the every
woman" organization, features of
which are the creation of a tribunal
parliament to settle war difficulties
and OF bands know as worlds pro-
peace legions,n who would in
extreme S stop nations that In
on warning bv force Of arms,
In general, however, 1t is believed
isolation from other nations
would bring about a feeling Of shame
in countries at war, which would WORT
a speedy end of 1t. No rebuttal Is Of
fered, however, to the fact that Ger
many and Austria have been Isolated
in inst this way practically from tho
commencement Of the war,
