WOMEN ACTIVE IN
GERMAN POLITICS
Develop Oratory and organiza-
tion-Particularly Strong Eff
fort to Aid Height
mate Children.

Berlin.-Women LENDERS Of the ma
tional assembly have recently strlve
to ave included in the new constitu-
ton a clause whereby fnegitimate chill
dren would have a stronger standing
in the community than at present. The
women were anxious to see such chill
dren a the name Of their fathers,
but this proposal did not carry.
Frau Iietz made q speech wherein
ST. -c1ared that the double standard
OF a.oi a lity is unfair to ~womenkind
and 10 the children BORN out OF we'd
lock. LEGITIMACY is quite prevalent
in many parts Of Germany, and the
women members OF the assembly were
inclined to believe that it could be de-
creased If the father were forced to
give his name to the child.
Women members OF the assembly
have shown a strong interest IN moral
welfare questions and In educational
matters.
They are especially anxious to have
German educational standards raised.
and they are interested. 100, in matters
Of economic welfare.
In connection with the question of
sllegitimacy. some Of the women raised
the point that the economic situation
OF Germany was responsible for the
fact there were FEWER marriages tiI,n
there should be. Frau Aietz oarticu-
larly excorilted the capitalist classes
for paying small wages. thereby hin
dering man from marrying who would
otherwise enter matrirDony.
Women's participation In German
politics appears to be working out well
as they tend to give n higher tone to
many questions than might otherwise
be the case. -
