IIAv1NG admitted finally and with
IL great show Of reluctance that woman
has a mind, modern psychologists and
other thinkers of deep masculine thoughts
are now having the time of their lives de-
Gliding just what sort of mind this femi-
nine organ of mentality is, any way.
Mr.. Haveloclk Ellis, that brilliant ana
iyst Of our sex and its ways, contributes
in the current Atlantic Monthly some in
teresting, albeit maddening, data to this
subject.
Most people, 'he writes" whether men
or women, seem to have felt that women
had little use for mind 1t was their hus-
bands business to furnish that; their part
was to seek knowledge, as they were
taught to seek God, through men. The
sphere of women was generally held to
be--es 1t still is commonly held to be in
Germany, though today no country is so
actively engaged in disproving this state

It is curious that the creatures who so
preened themselves on the exclusive pos.
session of the worlds gray matter did not
have the wit TO see that they had rele-
gated to women three of the departments
of life for the successful conduct of which
the highest kind of intelligence is re-
quired.
Women got tired of having it dinned
into their ears that theirs was the hand
work and that the headwork of a sus-
tainod kind was impossible of achieve
ment TO the feminine sex. They felt
they'd like to test that out. All over the
world there grew an alarming unrest
among the women. They invaded the
colleges and almost as much to the
surprise of themselves as. to the amaze
ment of their male competitors, they did
well. Brains of which they scarcely ex-
pected the existence worked very we'll
in many cases better than masculine
brains. These women found, too, that
they could buck" the business world
with an astonishing need of success, con-
sidering how they had been taught to
believe by Schopenhauer and others of the
misogynist class that they were mere
breeding machines"

were captured Saturday night and
Sunday by the British and French
armies in the Somme region. War
materials and many prisoners were
captured, German counter attacks
were repulsed with large losses to the

and Berry. and also captured all the
ground between Vermandovillers and
Deniecourt and between Deniecourt
and Berry, the gain being over

The advance OF the British appar-
emily brings their front to within a
mile OF Grand Court and the Albert
Bapaume railway. Grand Court is bes
ing bombarded by the British. The
success OF the French seemingly is
another move Of the right flank Of the
entente toward the pockcting of
Peronne.

from the Pripet marsh regien in Rus
sia through Galicia and I'D in the Car
pathian mountains. Berlin and Vienna
claim the repulse OF Russian attacks
on front OF about twelve and half

Berlin admits that the front of Arch
duke Charles Francis was pushed back
by the Russians.

southeast OF Lemberg, and the capture
Of more than 5000 Germans in fight
ing along the Anraiuvka and the
