Japanese Christians Demand Greater , Measure of Liberty Tokio, Dec. 20.—Japanese Chris tians of the various protestant bodies celebrated the 400 th anniversary of the day on which Martin Luther nailed his theses to the church door in Wittemburg by protesting against the government's policy of compell ing participation in Shinto rites. The day being also the emperor's official birthday gave a natural opportunity to express first of all the patriotic and faithful devotion of the Christian body to the imperial house. A dec laration read by the Rev. Dajiji Ebana who represents the extreme radical wing of the Congregationalists, con tained one article reading: "Freedom of religious belief is guaranteed to us by the constitution of our empire. We should exert our selves in order to bring about a per fect realization bf our rights urtder this provision. Consequently, \he per formances and events connected re cently with shrines, the relation be tween those shrines and the nation al education, the many practices carried on in towns and villages, all of which are more or less coercive in nature, must be viewed as infringe ments of the freedom of religious be lief. We believe it to be the duty of the public-spirited men bf our em pire to correct these evils and to seek to bring about a more perfect realiza tion of right and justice." This action on the part of protest ant christians in Japan has been pre cipitated by tjie transference of the- Kovernment's department of religion from the home department to the department of education. It has al ways been a matter of debate as to whether the Shinto cult is a religion or not; but many of its ceremonies have a distinctively religious char acter and as such the enforcement of them in schools and at patriotic ceremonies is felt by Christians to be an infringement of religious lib erty. IMPERIAL Ijl-TTTKH PUBLISHED Petrograd, Dec. 20.—The letter to the former Emperor Nicholas of Rus sia, which led to the exiling of Gen eral Gurko, formerly commander of the Russia southwestern front, has just been published here. Its chief offense lay in the fact that General Gurko expresses the belief that Rus sia, after a trial of the eVils of dem ocracy, will "once more turn towards its lawful monarch and God's an ointed." HAHRISBURG TELEGRAPH WHY DON'T MEN PROPOSE EASILY Every \Voman, Down in Her Heart, Wants to Marry f By BEATRICE FAIRFAX "Why don't the men propose, mamma—why don't the men pro pose?" Long, long ago, that was a popular song. I Oon't remember what "mamma" answered, but I do remember that all the generations of girls who have been coming along sin'ce the days when that song was written have had the same question in their minds. * ■ v Why don't the men propose—and how can they be made to? Impor tant problem it is—needing solu tion. No matter how she lies about It, either publicly, privately or deep within the recesses of her own soul, every woman wants to marry. Don't misread this and jump at conclu sions. I am not saying that either every or any womun wants to marry "just any man." Marriage means more than ceasing to be Miss Smith, who workp for her own living and eats alone at a cheap table d'hote of an evening and turning Into Mrs. Jones, who Is supported by a. husband and fairly certain he will at least come for dinner If the cooking is good. Marriage in the true sense, the sense in which any fine woman looks upon it...means maUng—i-intellectual, spir itual and physical mating. Now, when Marion Thomson — twenty-three, charming, of good family, sweet, lovable and earnest, meets Arthur Johnson, twenty eight, fine principled, well able to support a wife and altogether the sort of man Marion's best instincts n'.ike her admire, there might well be a pleasant little romance. There ought to be, but all too often things ' gang agley" and this is what hap pens: The Meeting Marlon meets Arthur, attracts him, attracts htm more and more, shows that he is by no means dis tasteful to her. Tentatively, they no up a little path together—friend ly acquaintances—friends—half-con fessed lovers. And then suddenly Arthur walks out o£ Marion's life just as she felt "a declaration" trembling on the brink of expres sion. Marion can't figure out what it Is ail about. Arthur was fond of her. Arthur and she were fond of each other for the matter of that. They belonged to the same social plane. There isn't any reason that Marion can see for a man to be devotion it self up to August 5, 1917, and then vanish out of her knowledge com pletely. finally, inexorably. Marion writes a little note, invit ing Arthur to call. He ignores It. She telephones his office; he is not in, but if she will leave her num ber Mr. Johnson will telephono her directly he returns. Marion leaves her number; Arthur does not phone. Three months have passed and Ar thur is still a mysterious stranger to the girl who felt fairly sure just a season ago that he meant to be everything in the world to her be fore long. Why? Why? Marion has racked her brain, puzzled over it all—suffers more than a bit and wails helplessly for the mystery to solve itself. As a matter of fact, there isn't any mystery. The whole thing reduces itself to these terms: Arthur Ittees his freedom. Ho doesn't want to assume responsibilities. He doesn't particularly approve of the marri ages he sees all around him. He'd ra'her wait a few years longer • * So when he was simply attracted by Muripn, rather fond of her, he went ahead with the friendship and en joyed it in carefree fashion. Then it began to mean a great deal to him —a very great deal and he decided that ho was thinking too much about Marion. Arthur cares too much to be "just friends." He cares too little to want to biad himself to Marion for life The world is full of distractions, full of amusing temporary relationships. So Arthur goes out of Marion's life because he wants to avoid responsi bility, definite ties, because he does not wi?h the appeal she makes to him to become so great that she will ever be necessary to him and he cannot go away. He enjoys phi landering. He doesn't want respon sibilities. Marion is unhappy for causes wgven of many strands. Men like to philander and as long as there are women to philander with, they will continue to amuse themseJves where they are free to play without any obligations of settling down to a long trip in double harness because they have been trotting along side by side with a temporary partner. Human Nature Unstable Human nature is unstable. Life Is flux. Change and unrest are part of the world's portion. So men, quite without meaning to be cruel or brutal or caddish, go off and leave the girls who have expected to work out the attraction they two feel foi each other to Its logical conclusion. And women who have let then.selves become emotionally involved on insufficient evidence find themselves left to grin and bear it or—not grin and bear It. The way out? First of all. a lit tle more chivalry among women— a definite standard *>f conduct from which decent women will not de part. The girl who lets any man vho appeals to her a bit make light and easy love to her Is probably stealing another girl's husband and losing her own real chances of mar riage. Men must be taujrht that stability and loyalty and real devotion are required of them if they are to be given happy emotional experience and privileges. And women must not day-dream themselves Into rose hung cottages with men who may only bo philandering 1 a bit and who would run miles if they dreamed that they were whlking themselves Into serious situations. A little eluslveness, a little dig nitv, a little friendly understanding, a little recognition that it is hard to make yourself necessary to any one and a precious and beautiful privilege to be able to do it. will help girls along on the pathway to the goal of happy marriage. And if they don't get there, life has other things 'to offer —other big, tine in terests. Why don't the men propose? Be cause in a world full of extrava gance and selfishness and feverish desire for gayety, they have come sadly to question whether the word wife ever Includes the simple old title, "helpmate." Why don't the men propose? Be cause they want to avoid responsi bility—because they will not take on the obligations of marriage until their on deep desire compels them, and because the world is tragically full of women who make it pos sible for them to get a weak, cheap substitute for the big emotions of life. j Invalid Husband Sees Wife Fatally Burned Carlisle, Pa., Dec. 20,—Her night gown catching flro from a lamp, Mtb.
