THEDA BARA AT FOX'S FRIDAY AND SATURDAY Theda 'Bara, famous wherever there is a motion picture theater, is an acquaintance of Gabrielle D'An- nunzio, the eccentric and brilliant au- thor of LaGioconda, picturized: for William Fox as ‘“The Devil's Daugh- ter,” ‘and creator of the -celebrated Cabiria. The actress meét the writer Theater Antoine, Paris, the theater of thrills in the.French capital. ‘Wen D’Annunzio sold the picture rights of “The Devil’s Daughter” to Willlam Fox he stipulated’that Miss Bara must play the title role. “T’ first met D’Annunzio when he came to Pa- ris to put on a playlet at the thea- ter Antoine,” said Miss Bara, in dis- gium’ Sometimes upon the shoulders a single Prussian man the burden of blame for the war has been pressed. True, it -was the Kaiser who enunci- ated the famous boundary of woman's realm over church and children and cooking. And now the Countess of Warwick distributes the blame over all Prus- sian men. The roots of this war, she contends, lie somewhere knit With the whole attitude of North German Prussian towards the woman. Impressed by Brutality Evidence, ‘“Reading the record of Germany’'s wai methods,” she says, “even those of us who are endeavoring to think sanely through these evil days must be impressed by the overwhelming evidence of their brutality and ruth- lessness. #We who have travelled in Ger- many, not once but many times,” she goes on to say in the current issue of “The Fornigtly Review,” ‘know full well that harshness and cruelty are not associated with the majority. “There are countless Germans who could only be cruel in obedience to orders and of course, every Germun will do what he is told, just as the Children of Israel did when Joshua, who appears to have invented frighi- fulness, was carrying out his merci- It we admit that the simple German of the south is not cruel at heart, that he is rather . a dreamer and a sentdmentalist, with strong love for domestic pleasures, we find that the policy of frightfulless must be ascribed to the military par- ty, consisting for the most part of Prussians with headquarters in Ber- lin, These men are the organizers ‘of war. ‘Women Kept in Background. “I have been trying to trace fright- fulness to its source, not through the medium of books or papers, but in the light of my past acquantance with some of its leading men, and 1 think .that the philosophic = his- ten to declare that the worst ‘and saddest features of war as waged by ‘the Germans are due to the fact that in their country, women were kept more in the background than in the country of any other great power. The fault, as I will point out later on, is not that of the women, but of the leaders of German action, who have deliberately suppressed woman, and of nearly all the leaders of German, thought who, being ' dependent on government favor, have subscribed to their policy of deliberate suppres- sion. 3 Bebel's Book ‘Standard. {‘Bebel’s book on women, of course, is a standard work, but tthe few, lights -do' no more than emphasize the darkness. “Alone of the great powers, Ger- many has elected to forget, or to disregard as a negligible quantity, the opinion of woman, and tthe rea- . son is not far to seek. past the Gérman has forgotten the respect and reverence he owes to his own women folk.

Woman Dethroned in Rank and File of Military Circles in Germany Countess of Warwick Declares That “the Morals of Berlin Are Forerunners of All That Has Happened in Bel- ’—Blames Prussians for European War. —_— / of ! toxicated with the vision of imperia: domination, he has regarded his own sex as the one motive force in the universe. He has not watched the slow awakening of women in the countries round him, he has not noi- ed how bonds of sympathy, light as gossamer yet strong as steel, have stretched from country to country, binding our sex in a large and ever- widening sisterhood, an articulate now, or at least hardly coherent, but only waiting for their appointed hour to assume a fuller share of glories, life. ‘Woman Everywheré Belligerent. “Woman's influence, silent, world wide, pervasive, has been treated by the Evangels of Kultur as though it were non-existent, and in the hour of crisis woman, as a united force, has avenged herself for vears of neg- lect, scorn and brutality. She {s everywhere a belligerent. “I do not know the country in Europe where women are treated as they are in Germany. “In tens of thousands of German homes the wife and daughters are loved and honored, but in the rank and file of military circles, even among the men who hold official positions and boast a certain standing, woman has been dethroned; she is regarded &8 en encumbrance necessary for the production of further generations of super-men who shall subdue the earth. This attitude of mind reveals of itgelf in the action that speaks louder | than words. The toleration and the contempt to which I refer are every- where apparent. No good looking woman is safe in Germany from the ill-bred stares and comments of the men with whom she must travel in | train or tram; if women enter a theater . or restaurant, their own iriends and relatives @o not rise to receive them; they are liable to" be elbowed into the road if men walk- ing abreast can occupy the whole of tihe pavement. The politeness of the few cultured Germans (pardon the discredited adjective) merely em- phasizes the boorishness of the vast majority. It might be tnhat the Ger- iran is waiting for women officially recognized as human beings to whom someé measure of courtesy, or even of decency, 1s due. Only when rudeness is ‘verboten’ will rude- ness cease. Governed by Men. “The country is gcverned by men for men, and woman, mccording to the marriage rubric, is actually man's sérvant. The effect of these ditions upon the morals of country is deplorable. They cachet to vices, even the most odious, and the rate of lillegitimacy, about ten per cent. for the whote empire, is sbout doubled in Berlin, where the military caste is supreme. The morals of the army are the morals of Berlin, «nd account not only tor the hideous stories published about what has taken place in Belgium and Northern France, but for the rec:tals not Jess appalling that one gathers from { ¢ficers home on leave, who haye seen sights in the area of German occupa- i tion that cannot be set down in print. ]undnubtedly these storiés if eould reach the heart of Germany | would thrill tens of thousands of honest meén. with indignation and dis- gust; I do not believe for a moment the burdens, and the reaponsibllltiesl | “OVER THE WIRE” g By DORUTHY CLARKE. 8o you did like the gown! .....

Whatever their resources or their influence in the councils of their busbands, sons and brothers, it will be devoted without ceusing to the destruction of a militarism that de- grades and shames womankind.

Tt is the purpose of the dominant caste to keep woman in subjection; to restrict her activities to the kitchen, the cradle, and-the church; even to deny her the miental and the physical development that might tend to lead her to revoit. Woman may find a hmited salvation in the conduct of a business; through- out the German Empire not far short «f a million women conduct commer- cial enterprises of one kind or another and collectively they strive with some success to better the pnysical and rmeoral conditions under which their sisters live.
