By ED L. KEEN. ,
(London Corrspondent of the United
Press.)
London, Aug. 6. Militancy is "re
ligious fanaticism" according to Mrs.
Flora Annie Steele, whose remarkable
books on East Indian life have won
her the name of the "female Kipling."
Mrs. Steele is a militant, but of the
milder variety. Thus far she has
confined her protests against the gov
ernment's alleged injustice toward wo
men, to refusal to pay taxer.
"Recent events", 9he said today
"bring home the question, 'What
should be done for justice and for
peace?' To begin with, we must set
aside those illogical folk who, horri
fied at violence, incontinently recog
nize it as affecting a question of pure
justice Also we must set aside those
who, like slum mothers, belabor their
hungry, howling offspring's ears with
resounding slaps, shrieking shrilly,
'You shan't 'ave no dinner till ye're
quiet.' '
i"Then we must recognize that that
the 'outragists' are religious fanatics
and that history teaches us that re
ligious fanatics thrive on coercion. The
present partial insurrection of wo
manhood against it conceives to stand
between it and its God is not likely
to decrease or be decreased. The only
way to meet it is by earnestly requir
ing first whether the sense of injus
tice which creates it is well founded.
"The majority of thinking men in
England today acknowledge that wo
men have suffered and do suffer un
der our man-made life and laws. Ev-
Get All the Use You Can Out of ;
ery working man cdmits that a widow
with children, or she who, standing in
the man's place, performs his duties,
should share his rights. Tew deny
that women who pay taxes have a
claim on the state.
"Ought not these admissions be suf
ficient for honest Englishmen ? I
know it needs pluck to acknowledge
past mistakes when one is smarting !
under a sense of personal outrage,
but the strong Briton, as a rule, does
not lack pluck. He does, however
require . a leader. There should be
some man in England strong enough
to arise and gather together this sense
of sin and see to it that justice, ii
done."

tion of an official of one of the firms
engaged in selling burglary insur
ance. He ssys that approximately
$500,000 of burglary insurance losses
was paid in this city in 1912 by the
various companies, and that fully 25
per cent of this amount was collected
on fraudulent or exaggerated claims.
The number of fake burglariej has in
creased so rapidly in the last year or
two that the burglary insurance com
panies have found it necessary to or
ganize ,able secret service staffs and
to make' careful examination of all
claims. "We get claims frequently
for burglary insurance for stickpins,
watches and other articles which have
been stolen by pickpockets or lost cat
the streets," says an official of Ate
of the companies. The loser Bum
that the article was taken by burglar
entering his home, and it is hard it
prove the contrary. Recently, howj-r-er,
we had a case where a weaiffiiy
broker asserted that he had lost
mond stickpin through a burglary it
his home in this city, although he itf
advertised a reward for the retrain of
the pin in the lost and found co"ioiias
of a paper in a city more than a Inn-
dred miles from here." Altogether rob
bing one's self seems to be beeortr.)c
an extraordinary novel business in the
city of New York.
