POlYGAMY TO PURIFY MORALS

There is no doubt that the Germans have their weather eye fixed firmly on the future. Their frightful loss of man power is a matter of deep con comment and the problem of replen- ishing the population as rapidly as possible, and with their own blood, daring proposals. The most recent contribution on the subject is a pam phlet written by one Carl Hermann Torges, entitled "The Secondary Mar riage as the Only Means for the Rapid Creation of New and Powerful Army and the Ratification of Moral ity" It is the latter claim contained in this lengthy title that most in terests us.
 According to Torges' way of think ing, the conception of morality is relative" and good morals are only what the upper classes of society ap- prove" Heaven help us if this dictum becomes the universally accepted stand I'd of morality. Then the au- thor fines the meaning of second ary rriages" as folows
 "W men in all classes of society who hsFe reached a certain age aret in the interests of the Fatherland not ! only authorized but called upon to enter into a secondary marriage, . which is supported by personal inclina- tion. Only married man may be the . object of this inclination, and he must have the consent of his married wife The offspring of these secondary mar riagcs bear the name of their mother and are handed over to the care of the state unless the mother assumes responsibility for them.
