1 Writer in Atlantic Monthly Criticize*
the Ideas Held by Great Men
, Concerning Women.
It seems that the intelligence of
man cannot solve the problem of
woman, which is a bad sign in a su
perior intelligence. The trouble lies
i in this: man assumes far too readily
that woman essentially differs from
j man. Hardly a man has lived who did
| not so exaggerate. Nietzsche, Scho
I penhauer, agreed to despise worn
! en; Napoleon seemed to view them
as engines of pleasure; for Shake
speare they may well have embodied
a romantic ideal, qualified by sport
ive wantonness. In Walter Scott
women appear as romance in a cheap
edition; Byron in their regard is a
beast of prey, Doctor Johnson a
pompous brute, and a puritanical
sensualist. Cervantes mixed in his
romantic outlook a sort of suspi
cious hatred, while Alexandre Du
mas thought them born only to lay
j laurel wreaths and orange blossoms
i (together with coronets) upon the
i heads of musketeers. All, all—from
Thackeray, who never laid his hand
upon a woman save in the way of
patronage, to Goethe, to Dante, to
Montaigne, to Wellington—all har
bored this curious idea; in one wav
or another woman differs from man.
j And today, whether we read Bernard
j Shaw, George Moore, M. Paul Bour
get or Hall Caine, we find that there
still persists a belief in Byron’s
words: “What a strange thing is
! man! And what a stranger is wom
an!”—Atlantic Monthly.

TO SUPPRESS RUH'.ORS NOW
Imprisonment Awaits the Man Who
Indulges in Gossip in London
About the War.
Tn war times, under a strict cen-j
sorship, rumors are as common as
dirt. Everyone has one to pass on,
remarks the New York Tribune.
You don’t “belong” in any gathering
unless you have at least one rumor
to whisper. If a newspaper reporter
believed all he heard he would never
stop writing, or wouldn’t write a
line, depending on his physical
make-up.
jnow tne ljondon police authorities
have decided there are too many ru
mors about, and are taking steps to
put a gag on the rumor mongers.
They have a merry task ahead of
them. If every rumor monger is
caught and labeled there will be more
gags worn there than iron crosses in
Berlin.
But there is to be a* distinction
made in rumors. In the near future
the man who whispers, “My friend
in the admiralty tells me the Zeppe
lins are coming tonight,” is liable to
be thrown into jail and kept there
at hard labor for some months. It
won’t make any difference whethei
he is an Englishman, a Frenchman
or an American. Prosecutions will
be pressed under the Defense of the
Realm act, and this act gives the au
thorities a wide latitude. Woe be
tide the offender!
