HOW A REVOLT OF GERMAN
WOMEN ENDED THE WAR
Gertrude Atherton Describes the Process in a
Prophetic Novel-May Sinclair's Story
of an English Family

WE WERE talking about the possi-
bility Of revolution in Germany.
Doctor McFabre was confident that 1t
would come. but Owen was doubtful.
"Germans have been taught to be-
lieve that they are fighting for their
national existence" said he. "and they
are not going to play into the hands
of the enemy by making too much
trouble at home"
Eyes, but suppose they learn that
no one wants to destroy Germany"
asked Doctor McFabre.
There is remote possibility Of
German revolt Of kind least ex'
pected," said 1.
'Any kind of a revolt would be wei.
come" remarked the clergyman. Il
was delighted when read of the work
men striking by the hundred thou
sand. 1t must mean revolution
another kind of a revolution may
come when you least ex. It it, said l..
Gertrude Atherton, out of her in
innate knowledge of conditions in
Germany, has written what her pub
fishers call prophetic novel, in which
she describes how the war was ended
by the rising of the German women"
The war has brought suffering
enough to them to justify them in
doing any desperate thing" said Owen.
But Mrs. Atherton regards the suf.
fering brought about by war as only
the elimination of outrages against
which the women have been inwardly
rebelling for generation. She has
lived In Germany for years and she
has had intimate conversations with
tho women of all classes. Before the
war she found young women of good
family so hostile to the men that they
decided never to marry. They had
seen their fathers acting the tyrant
over their mothers and had decided
that they would never submit to such
treatment. Their mothers We're as re
bellious as the daughters, but they
said less about 1t. The German male
regards the woman as an inferior sort
of creature. who has no rights. Ac
cording to Mrs. Atherton, the sufferin2 2
that has been brought about by the
war is regarded by the women as a
result of the disregard by the men OF
their duty to protect their women
II the men win, the women will suffer
more In the future than they have
suffered in the past. So she creates a
character in the person of brilliant
young woman Of the nobility, who has
won a position of leadership in her
country through her writings under
an assumed name. and makes her the
leader in a revolt. The women are
organized, and on given day they
blow UP every munition factory. de
