"I lighted n match and went into

PAHIS. July 38. T.ndy Abcnlecn,
wife of the former Viceroy of India
nnd president ot the International
Congresq of Women, parsing through
this city on her way to Prague today,
strongly condemned the militant suf
fragettes of Knglnnd nnd pointed to
the United States as tho country
where women nre getting the fran
chise in the proper wny.
"flood and proper behavior," she
told the United Press. "senible talk
ing and legal action will take no much
farther along the road toward what
wc are nfter, than will militancy.
But it U not for mc to sit iu judg
ment over my Knglih sisters. They
are sincere. They mean well, nnd I
hope they win. But I can't help see
ing that in the United State, where
violence is unknown nmong the wom
en workers, we are winning our fiuht.
"One is led to believe that njMii
rending of the militancy of the Bri
tish suffragettes, that we are striv
ing for votes for women solely. That
is not true. There nre o mnnv wny
iu which women can help in the af
fairs of.everydoy life. Were she per
mitted to work with men on boards,
both political nnd social. I am sure
her influence would be for good."
"What do you think of Mme. Dieu
lafoy's proposal to tench women to
take the place of military clerk", etc.,
during wnr, thus liberating fighting
ment" T.ndy Aberdeen was nked.
"That seems to me to be going a
little far," she replied. "The true
role for women is that of the peace
maker, not the warrior. I firmly be
lieve that were women permitted to
share the burdens with the men in the
governing bodies of tho world, wars
would ultimately cease. There are
always a liberal proportion of male
legislator in every country opposed
to wnr; these, supported by women's
votes, would always be in a majority.
And have you ever thought of just
what flint would mcanf
"In the first place the cost of liv
ing would be reduced. Taxes would
be lowered. Armies nnd navies would
exit only on n greatly reduced scale.
Standing armies, 900,000 stroncr.
idlipg away their time, eating food
bought for them by the people, wear
ing clothes which other people Iinvfc
bought for them would not exist.
These men, instead of consuming
nlone, would produce nt least $2,
000,000 a week or $130,000,000 a
year. Yes, the woman should, nnd
would, be a peacemaker.
"Votes for women is only one of
the many things wo nre striving for.'
