By Marguerite Mooers Marshall. “The moment a woman begins to talk advanced ideas about love and marriage she somehow feels it necessary to neglect her complexion, cut her hair short, wear heavy boots and smoke big cigars.” That is the naughty aspersion cast at a certain type of modern womanhood by Madame Strindberg, wife of the great Swedish dramatist, who was himself such @ remorseless critic of woman's faults and follies. The so-called “morbidity” of Ibsen is sunny as a Mother Goose rhyme compared with an} one of August Strindberg’s powerful, poisonous dramas. On page after page of “The Father,” “Countess Julle,” “The Dance of Death,” one winces as at the scraping of a raw wound with a file dipped in salt—particularly if one is a woman. a Yet, according to his second wife, from whom hi was divorced as he was from both of his other wives, he cherished an e: ceptionally lofty ideal of woman. His flood of dramatic bitterness was let loose by his strong personal reaction against the ultra-moderi, feminist type of femininity, for whom Madame Strindberg herself has no manner of use, “I began with advanced ideas, you see,” she confessed naively, “and I found that in practical ‘experience they didn’t work. Strindberg knew that, from the beginning. His ideal of womanhood was the early Christian on: a combination of the virgin and the mother, Women to-day have so far deteriorated that he could not accustom himself to the reality. “Yet “Strindberg did not hate women. He loved them. What appeared to be hate was merely the reverse side of his love; if you have the latter feeling for an object | do not see how you can the The trouble that his wives, myself in- were not big enough for They did not give him They thought of them- selves, rather than of him. He gave them entire personal free- dom and he was one of the very few men! known who remained absolutely faithful to his marriage vows.” ; Which {s an unusually generous tribute from a wife who, separated from her husband a year or two after their marriage out of sheer {hability 3, she said. ‘The American woman movement impresses me as different from any- thing I have seen elsewhere. You do not seem to have women who are making fools of themaclives, You are working in a quiet, orderly, womanly fashion for good things, fot what will benefit children and other women. “But the woman movement with is without fruit. Over-educated, over-sophisticuted, we are not trying to develop our powers as women but to make ourselves into men. The very women who talk inost about the new Uberty for love are those least likely to attract love.” And then Mme. Stindberg gave the mischievous description of the would- be marriage reformer which I have already quoted. “No woman nas a right to talk free love or any other radical to get along with him. Mme.

WASHINOTON, Jan. 23.—Attribut- ing to the Administration an intention to buy German ships interned in Am- erican porte if the Ship Purchase bill is passed, Senator Lodge to-day de- clared in the Senate that the measure “would bring us within measurable istance of war, not with England alone, but with France, Russia and He quoted from House Committee earings to show that Secretary Mo- Adoo had “practically admitted that) the purpose of the bill was to buy the German ships laid up In Boston and) New York. If such were not the pur- pose, Senator Lodge suggested that the impression now general could be corrected by an amendment, whith, he eald, he believed had already been voted down in committee, to debar the Government from such purchases. “To buy the German ships interned in these porta and relieve thetr. own- ers from the heavy dally expense in caring for them and to hand over to them thirty or forty millions of money belonging to the American people,” said Senator Lodge, “would be a great and direct aesistance to one of the belligerents in the war now raging, It would be an unneutral act and very readily might be construed as a hostile act and an actual breach of neutrality.” Senator Lodge stated he had been informed that the Administration jad determined to send the Dacia, a Ger- man-owned ship purchased by Ameri- cans and transferred to American registry, abroad to furnish a test case. “It seems to be @ rather fan- geroun business to make teat cases of this character in time of war, whon belligerent governments are protest ing against the action, and for the State Department to approve sending forth a vessel, which, as late as Jau. 13, our War Risk Bureau declined to insure.” Me said that France and Russia bad held consistently that the tran fer of the Hag from u belligerent to neutral, after hostilities had begun, § not to be recognized, and kng- the same, although Sir Edward last summer made some modif- cations of his opposition to the » if the ships were not used tn with Burope, In view of the present empty cargo space golng to.
