LONDON, Ju!y 20. What is the meaning of the riot of nudity into which the world of womanhood has plunged so frantically? Here I touch a very dangerous subject woman. Nearly everybody who touches her burns his fingers. After thousands of years man knows very little about this baffling and elusive creature, and what he thinks he knows is invariably wrong. The war has profoundly disturbed the feminine mind. Many millions of young males have been slaughtered, mutilated or deranged. There is a world shortage of males. The strange herd-soul of woman, moving in the mass, has taken fright at the sentence of celibacy which has been passed upon her. There are not enough men to go around. Before the war the rivalry of women was acute. Today It is frenzied. Instinctively the herd-soul of woman is doubling her allurements, trebling her wiles, quadrupling its baits. Cat M'Hlcsty to Winds, It has cast modesty to the winds. It lias abandoned all its reserves and reticenses. All is fair in love and war, and the herd-soul of woman is resorting to the most audacious dexices in order tc captivate anil capture the surviving males. The vogue of the jazz dance is one symptom of this frenzy. The violent outburst of colors in feminine raiment Is another. The hysterical eccentricity of feminine attire is another. But the mot alaming symptom is the absolut ly brazen display of f-minine charms. I have always suspected that man is the shy sex and that woman is the shameless sex. but now I know it. In pure or Impure cfTremtcry women today are the equals, if not the superiors, of the women of any epoch. The Rrowth of feminine shamelessness has been so gradual that we have become inured to it. We can hardly remember the days before the war when decency was still practised in th public theater and the public restaurant by respectable women. It is not easy to recall the era f the veiled calf. Ban Back Is Climax. But the climax of effrontery is the veijrue tf the bare back. The other night at the theatre the bare backs In the stalls suggested that the stage had ceased to compete with society. A man said to me that he felt inclined to go to the theatre In future armed with a rubber stamp. Before him sat a lady with nothing on her back, which was enameled with
porno pink liquid. "I should like." he said, "to brand her in red w)th the words, 'wet paint.' " It is not pleasing to see a matron of forty or Ilfty summers with dyed hair, rouged lips, painted cheeks, blackened eyelids and eyelashes, brandishing her adipose back at a disgusted crowd. Worse still is the abominable im
modesty of the young girl who apes the manners if not the morals of the courtesan. The age of childhood seems to have been passed. Girls are grown up at twelve, blase at thirteen, heartless at fourteen, birds of prey at ilfteen. cynics at sixteen, and sour at seventeen. Fault of Mothers. It is the fault of the mothers. They no longer guide and restrain the pleasure-loving girl. They al-. low her to rub off tho bloom 4 of youth in dubious resorts with doubtful companions. And the tide of corruption flows more and more strongly every day. The decadent and degenerate poisons of Paris infect our fashions. Some of the Paris theaters are now untit to bo described. Outrages upon taste and propriety are permitted which are" incredible. Wit has been slain by vulgarity. No newspaper not even a French paper would dare to describe the things which are done on the Paris stage. The remedy is the lash of public opinion. It might be applied without delay.
Judge Montgomery Sets Hearing for Application for Wednesday Afternoon. Everett Wallace, who pleaded gaiilty In superior court to a charge of grand larceny on July 14, and who was sentenced by Judgo Montgomery to tho Indiana reformatory, Tuesday began an effort to secure a vacation of the Judgment and a trial by Jury, using proceedings for a writ of error, coram nobis, as the basis. Wallace, through his attorney, sets forth that at tho time he entered the plea of guilty he was not ablo to think clearly because he was nervous and afraid, never having been In a court room before, except the city court here. lie further says that he was unable to realize what he was doing. He asks that the judgment be set aside, and that he
be given an opportunity to withdraw his plea and change It to one of not guilty, so that he may have a trial by Jury. Is Common Law. Tho coram nobis proceeding is a matter of common law, since tho Indiana statutes do not cover the subject. This is the first case within the recollection of local court officials in which this method of procedure has been used here. Hearing on the application for thu writ will take place Wednesday at 1:30 p. m.

COLUMBUS. O.. July 20. "The destiny of this country is bound up in the next four years. In that time we must show the world whether our democracy is worth saving or not," said Rev. Dr. D. I-. Rittenhouse, pastor of the First Baptist church, discussing "Modern America and. Her Mission". "It is the mission of America to produce tho highest type of manhood tho world has ever seen. "America is the only nation in tho world with liberty as vthe basic thought, although the idea has been copied by other countries. The United States is marvelous because of its unity, climate and singular prosperlty. Wo have our president who heads the affairs of the nation, and the political life of the nation is maintained with unusual unity of spirit. Every square mile is suitable for habitation by tho white man. The poor are provided for as no other country provides for them, and the per capita wealth is greater than in any other nation.
"America, also, is remarkable for
its growth of civilization. It Is a na
tion of machines. Chicago has more
telephones than all the nations of
Europe combined. "America will save herself industrially, economically and politically
She must work harder and produce
more. The overseas men worked ten
hours a day and gave two hours a
day to the government.
"The fact that the bible is in the
hands of the common people makes America stand out above the other countries."
