HUSBANDS IN DEFENCE
NEW LEAGUE IN CHICAGO. The Husbands’ Defence League, a secret society, whose motto is “Equal Rights for Men,” has been organised in Chicago. There is no known list of officers, and members are sworn to secrecy. From a reliable source, however, says the correspondent of the London Daily Telegraph, comes inside information as to the founding of the clan, its purposes, and its goal. “The Husbands’ Defence League is inevitable if the male species is not to be submerged completely,” declares a member. “Man has become so completely domesticated that not only is he tame, but he is almost useless. Women are not only taking men’s jobs away from them, but they are expecting the men to do house work and tend babies where there are any.” The Bill of Rights for husbands makes tho following declarations:—• Ono evening a week out with no explanations. A dollar a day allowance; no questious asked. Preference over wife’s relations In al! things. Final authority in all things.
