Woman's relation to tho wnr hns been tho
grimmest lesson of the present conflict. That
tho women who nre most holplcss In prevent
ing It should havo to benr Its heaviest bur
dens liaB been nn appalling realization. It 1b
tho women who drnln war's bitterest lees,
not only tho Belgian women, whoso homes
have been lcclcd to n great wnsto to make
n fitting setting for tho war, but tho waiting
women of England and Germany, whoso
homes are not yot Invaded, but who aro wait
ing In contrast to tho helplessness of theso
women. It li thrilling to read of tho construc
tive attlludo tuken by our American women,
while there Is still time, In tho formation of a
Woman's Pence Party, umlor tho presidency
of Jnno Acldams Tho Independent devotes
sovernl pnges to tho Woman's Peaco Move
ment, nnd Rpenklng editorially says (1):
On Sunday afternoon, Jnnunry 10, 3000
women crowded Into the ballroom of tho
Now Wlllard at Washington, D. C. They
formed themselves Into tho "Woman's Pence
niny, mo nrst in tho world. They Issued
a manifesto, unsurpassed, we think, ln power
and mornl fervor by anything that has been
Issued hero or nbroml since tho Great War
began They ndopted a platform rndlcal,
sound, Rtntesmanllke, conBtructle. Though
i not a lino about tho conference appenred
the next morning In five of the six leading
New Yoik newspapers, which found spneo
f(i devote (13 rolumns to tho man-kllllng In
Europo nnd tho alleged reasons why the
I nltod States should Inrrenso her army and
niiy wo think the conference bo Important
that we publish In full the final document
Issued by It, and we urge every ono of our
women renders to Join tho party.
Tho Peaco Party's "Declaration of Princi
ples'' says In part:
We women of tho United States, assembled
In behalf of world pence, grateful for the
security of our own country, but sorrowing
ior mo misery or all Involved ln the present
Btruggle. do hereby band ourselves together
I to ilemnncl that war should ho abolished.
I Wp demand that women bp given a shnro ln
deriding between wnr and peace ln nil the
courts of mwi debate; within the home, tho
school, tho church, tho industrial order nnd
I tho State.
I Protesting nnd Demanding
So protesting and so demanding, wo
1 hereby form oursoKes Into a national or
ganization to be railed tho "Woman's Peaco
Party." In addition to their platform, they
passed tho following resolution. "That we
denounco with all the earnestness of which
wo nre capable tho concerted attempt now
being made to forco this country Into still
further preparedness for wnr. Wo desire to
make a solemn appeal to tho higher attri
butes of our common humanity to help us un
mask this menace to our civilisation."
Tho party organization: the members
shall he: 1 Local groups wherever they can
be organized, each to pay $5 annually Into
tho national trensury. 2 Sustaining mem
bers, who shall Individually pay $1 annually
Into the national treasury. Until the ap

Theso officers were elected: Chairman,

Post. Mrs. John Jay White.
Among tho most powerful and vivid arti
cles describing tho war are those written
by a woman, Corra Harris In her "Bravest
of tho Brnvo" (2), sho has summed up very
skilfully tho position nnd temperament of
each of the various nationalities of women In
volved In tho war. Sho writes:
The Belgian women have been the literal
victims. They have been scattered to the four
winds of tho earth. They have been
trampled in the dust by the feet of an Invad
ing army. I have seen women who wero
forced to witness tho execution of their hus
bands, women who ran screaming with ter
ror from their burning homes Into a world
filled with German soldiers. I havo seen
not ono or two, but literally thousands of
them who were famished for water and
starving for bread. I have seen children less
than two years of ago who havo been with
out food for four days, young babes ln their
mother's arms, whoso breasts had been dried
by tho awful terrors through which thoy had
passed. I have seen women accustomed to
every comfort staggering Into a strange land,
without shoes on their feet nnd without n
centime In their pockets.
Ono must entertain the highest ndmlration
for the German women. In a sense, they aro
no less the victims of the Kaiser's army
than the Belgian women. They Impressed
mo as tho greatest women of Europe, the
most pathetic In their bondago to men. They
wero by far the most thoughtful, tho moat
capable, tho most helpless. They had tho
mournful sense of sibyls ln regard to their
position. They were not hopeful, they wero
only patient. . They had the brains of
scholars and philosophers, the seer spirits of
poets. Thoy wero tho slaves of the order
of thlng3 thero. This war Is tho great op
portunity for the women of Germany, And
they have met It with courage. They aro
filling men's places ln every walk of life.
They aro no longer at the bottom, but at
tho top.
Of all the women In the world nt tho pres
ent moment, what the French woman Is and
what she does are most Important. Of all
the women I have seen, she ls tho least self
conscious. Sho does not think of herself
nt all. She Is the last perfect stroke In this
torrlflo picture a little figure In tho back
ground, standing Ilka a spirit In the deeper
Bhadows, with dark oyes looking serenely
out of a set white face: with red lips firmly
closed, not smiling, never drooping, always
looking beyond the hour of this tragedy to
the France of her faith. She belongs, as Im
mortelles belong, above tho graves of tho
bravest; ns hope transfigures despair. Such
dignity and such repose havo never been sur
passed by the women of any nation Invaded
by a hostile army.
Clubbing the Clubs
An article which, thought It may not be
popular, ought certainly to rouse comment,
belabors "Clubwqmen's Reading" (3) with
tho entire courage of Its convictions. Jt la the
first of a series and ls called "The Malady,"
The other two will be "A Diagnosis'' and
"Tho Remedy." Mr, A. E, Bostwick appears
to bo more than a mere antl-suftraglst,
though just what ho Is he does not reveal
In this urtlcle, He seems, however, to ba
very frank, and quite brave.
Unfortunately, the horizon of our women's
clubs is that of the puddle Instead of the
ocean. When I assert boldly that at the
present time the majority of vague and
illogical readers are women, and that
women's clubs are responsible for much of
this kind of reading, I shall doubtless Inour
the displeasure of the school of feminists
who seem bent on minimizing the differences
between the two sexes. Obvious physical
differences they have not been able to ei
plain away that men and women should
have minds of the same type is a physiologi
cal impossibility.
Why the feverish anxiety of tho girls eol-.
leges to prove that their graduates aie mar
rying and bearing children? The fact is
that the problem of the education of the
sexes is not yet solved. Educating one sex

What It Respectability
In a half-frivolous, hnlf-satlrlcal article;
"The Widow on Prohibition" (Gi, the, widow
gently chaffs nt the widely varying codes of
respectability.
For Instance, at Houston, Texas, two ladles
at 630 ln the afternoon went Into tho Hotel
Blank for an early dinner. The order wf.s
given, nnd in finishing, tho hostess, a
stranger ln the town, said "Bring two cock
tails," and told the waiter how sho wanted
them made, Tho waiter hesitated and then
snld, "Very Borry, madam, but we are not
allowed to servo a cocktail Unless you havo
a man with you." The woman, as indignant
as amused, Bold Impulsively, "Oh, very welt,
order a man any man for whoso respecta
blllty tho manager can vouch--a bellboy or
porter until we drink tho cocktails." Tho
poor waiter wan so distressed that pity di
vided with Indignation. But tho hostess de
claring for personal liberty, and that thero
was undoubtedly some individual interpre
tation of a Toxns law, cnntoled tho order
for dinner. Down to tho ofllce they wenf.,
and nsked to see tho manager, Tho manager
was not In. Tho hostess, who Jind traveled
about a great deal, said to tho clerk that sho
had never but onco run against that rule
ln a hotel, and that was In Chicago, where
thoro had been n hotel and annex, designated
ns "Proper" nnd "Improper," respectively.
In tho "Improper" this rulo obtnlnod, nnd
ono time tho manager himself camo to tho
rescuo nnd became tho escort. Just then U
friend a man appeared on tho scene and
saved tho 'situation. As they turned away
to go to another dining place, whore mdrals
for women wore not gauged by with or
without a malo escort, tho would-bo hostess
was told that tho Hotel Blank had for Its'
manager tho former manager of tho "Im
proper." AMUSEMENTS
