Woman Has Not Much Chance in
 Europe, Claim

London, June 5.-The treatment of women in Egypt is the darkest phase of Egyptian life, says G. N. Barnes, member of parliament, who has re- gently returned from a tour of that country.
 The men in Egypt, said Mir. Barnes, SO far as sex relations were concern ed, though themselves the Lords of creation. They could divorce their wives at will without whim or req sor, and it was not uncommon for a man to have three wives.
 "In many houses," continued MT. Barnes, q never saw woman and you can take it from me that the position of the. women in Egypt is absolutely one of serfdom and de pendehce. They spend their lives in miserable novels; in working. in the adjoining fields, or in getting water. .I
 "rhey are the serfs of the men and as much beasts of burden as the don key and the camel. A, people which uses women folk in that way are destined stc be a subject race and do net deserve to govern"
