Blame Women
for All Wars

An explanation of the causes of
war was offered here yesterday
which, if not historically correct, is
at least highly ingenious. The author
is none other than Rear Admiral
Bradley A. Fiske, U. S. N, retired,
and therefore free to deliver talks be-
fore such organizations as the So
ciety of New England Women.
"If there were no women or chill
dren," said the scholarly navy man,
there would be nothing to defend,
because there would be no riches for
an opponent to strive for"
Descending further into the depths
of sociology, the admiral announced
that "all men want would be enough
to eat and drink and place to Sleep"
But women, he asserted, demand jew
els, silks, great houses, limousines.
1t is the desire to satisfy this craving
that trade competitions exist with re-
sulting wars.
Following his discourse, Fiske made
an eloquent plea for preparedness for
the next war.
