make our war with Germany a short, sharp
and cffectUo one
It was something like this, and a great
deal more, that Dr Anna Howard Shaw
told an Interested audience In Norrlstow n'a
Opera House yesterday afternoon.
At the outset of tue war, when tho Coun
cil of National Defense was formed, Pres.
dent Wilson "conFcrlptcd" to uo the word
of Doctor Shaw ten of America's biggest
women only she didn't say that to com
prise a woman's board of tho council The
purpose of this board was to form a clear
ing house, through which tho work of tho
women of the nation could be co-ordinated
and, in a day when w.iste of energy more
than an thing else Is a high crime, prc
ented the oerlapplng
Doctor Shaw, as the chaiimnn of tho
board, Is gllng hei precious tlmo to the
work of mobilizing the women for tho big
job ahead of them Today she will tell
the women of Orange, N. J , how they may
sene cffecthcly. Yesterday, In a stirring
speech, she explained at Norrlstow n what
the hoard has done and what It expects
ecry woman to do.
"It Is our purpose," Doctor Shaw tild,
"to use tho women's organizations that are
already built up In this way It will not
be necessary to create any new machinery.
Thirty States hae already been organized
and by the end of this week eery State
In tho Union will base made plans to use
tho energies of Its women wheio they nre
most needed. Then wo shall begin on
Alaska, Hawaii and the Philippines
"Everywhere the Interest of women Is
aroused," Doctor Shaw continued "The
board has een had n letter from the club

If they cannot help us.
"The women .iro willing, but they mutt
be careful to co-operate and to keep the
work of the different orgalzatlons from

us the honorary president of the Na
tional Woman Suffrage Association drew
her mouth down Into a humorous little
smirk "they expect us to furnish the en
thusiasm and the patriotism and tho ex
citement that will work them up to tho
enlistment point. And then they expei t ua
to proIde all the sanity and calm that
can muhter. We must keep the home going
