WOMEN RISE
TO ABOLISH WAR?
English Historian Points TO
Famous Characters of
History as Proof.

LONDON. Dec an these days
OF searchings for means of killing
warfare for all time. 70 has been pre-
dicted that the awakening OF wom-
ankind and their growing rights,
powers and interests in affairs will
sound the death-knell OF war.
The election OF a second woman
member OF parliament. Mrs. Whit
bingham, has encouraged leaders OF
the woman movement 20 predict
that woman's era has arrived. and
that era will abolish war and estab-
lish peace.
This declaration, IN turn. has
brought TO Pernard Shaw and his
female OF the species" theory a
new and male ally. +. Raymond
Coulson has been delving into his
tory, and ne fears that we must not
be too confident about women end
ing warfare.
For neither history nor exper-
fence suggests that women are less
antagonistic by nature than men, "
he writes
"On the contrary. there is dis
quieting evidence that whenever
they have got the upper hand they
have been perfect Tartars.
There was Queen Hatasu OF
Egypt She dressed as warrior
and spent her whole life in war and
pillage. There was Boadicea, that
determined fighter TO whom we have
erected a monument which shows
her driving a chariot of war.
Joan Of Arc also assumed the
sword and breastplate. Catherine OF
Russia was perpetually organizing
raids on somebody or other. Cleopa-
ira played havoc among the princi-
palities and powers, set everybody
by the ears and drove poor Marc
Antony TO do away with himself
And Elizabeth OF England was
so combative that, added to a con-
slant itch for fights and conquests
and the chopping off of heads. she
had TO relieve her violent temper by
laying about her among her cour-
tiers, smacking the faces OF dukes
and giving earls back-handers with
her knuckles.
Then there was her sister. n no
toriOus Mary. who had hundreds OF
her subject burned at the stake and
whose naIuo is always prefaced by
an unpleasant adjective.
And one Of the most lurid pic
lures Of the French revolution IS
that Of the terrible women who sat
grimly knitting In view of the gull
lotine as they watched the heads
roll off.
"A harsh historian says that wo-
men have been at the bottom OF
every war and disturbance since the
seige Of Troy.
1T seems rather contradictory
that while man in general IS de-
nounced for his war-like proclivities
the highest admiration and affection
OF women. in the concrete is invarl-
ably bestowed on the soldier and the
blue-j acket-the fighting man."
This is the sort of contentious

an end. and that during the last "a
months they have been ceaseless and
energetic.
Some OF the settings and ballets
will be amazing in their glory, as
many Of the plays of Moliere were
especially planned ballets and mas
ques. devised 10 satisfy the taste OF
tho court at Versailles and planned
TO be accompanied by lavish decOra-
tions and princely settings.
The revivals will all be on q scale
quite worthy Of the past history Of
the great authors works. and, al
though no figures have been given,
Il is known that the expenditure with
this end In view already has been
tremendous, running we'll beyond
5000. 900 francs. The work involved,
much Of II loves labor. could not
be purchased at any price in money

FRENCH THEATER
ACTOR Is FAMED
Nation Plans to Celebrate
MOliere's Baptismal Ter
centenary Soon.

PARIS. Dec 3.-H is hoped that
there Will be some American partici-
patton IN tho celebration by the
Coincide Franchise oc the 8O0th an
niversary Of the baptism Of Jean
Baptisie PcQuelin. which Will occur
Jan. 15
WHY should the date Of a baptism
be celebrated 800 years after It oc-
cured
Because the eminent man. who. as
a child was baptized 300 years ago.
was born upon date unknown.
making the celebration OF his birth
day an .mpOssibility.
Founder OF French Thcatcr.
Who was Jean Baptiste Poquelin?
Why. Moliere. OF course. next to
Shakespeare the greatest playwright
OF The past. Didn't you know that?
Molierc was his stage name.
Moliere really was tho founder Of
the French National theater. the
Coincide Franchise. although his
company did not receive from the
king that official recognition which
made &c that until seven years after
Today 10 exits under the decree is
sued by Napoleon from Moscow
That seems strange 90 think of-now
"A decree issued by Napoleon from
Moscow.
TIE French National theater IS an
institution very different from any
thing which ever existed in America
or England. It's fundamental prin-
ciples Included self government
among the artists making up It's
company. and not only that, but
made il almost the first real profit
sharing scheme 10 be practically
brought into existence. This profit
sharing phase is not a bad one for
thu company, for the theater not
only draws from the pockets OF the
public a large income but is blessed
by a government subsidy besides.
Keeps French Standard High.
Up 90 1850 the communistic man
agement OF tho whole affair was
practically complete, but In that
year change in the constitution
was deemed necessary. No manager
with autocratiC power was provided
fo- by this. but the office OF admin
istrateur general was created and
various men Of great ability have
hllsd this place.
The present incumbent, VI. Emile
Fabre. Is one OF the ablest of men,
perfectly fitted for his task. which
is, In short. 70 see 70 ii that dramatic
art in France shall have continually
before It o high standard OF value,
with the certainty that the great
gcaiuses of the past shall not be ut
terly submerged by the food OF
mediocrity which pours from the
pens Of modern writer's.
The Coincide Franchise will use as
its foundation for the Moliere cele-
Dration, an exhibition OF Mouere
relics and pictures. These are not
so plentiful as one might think, but
arc sure to make an interesting
showing IN the new library Of the
Palais Royal, which adjoins the
theater.
This has just been designated by
tho government as the repository Of
the very interesting Rondel collection
of theatrical miscellany, principally
