ASKS WOMEN TO ORGANIZE TO KEEP MEN FROM WAR British Feminist, Now in Washington, Says 15,000 Austrian Were Executed Because'They Refused to Fight till 0 Stnff CorrrssoitdViii Washington, Oct. 27. Moles who cherish the belief that they are the pro tectors of womanhood did not get their Ideas on that subject from Mrs. I'eth Ick Lawrence, English feminist, now here"wlth some entirely different theo ries and a peacock-blue nfternoon gown. During a lecture at the headquarters of the National Women' party in .Tack son place, facing historic Lafayette Square, It was n debatable question whether tho gown or tho talk hold great er Interest for the 300 women who at tended. Mrs, Lawrence burst upon the capi tal In all her effulgence nt an Informal ten given In her honor ns a nrelude to the convention of the Women's party. She advocated immediate uni versal disarmament, organiratlon of women and workers throughout the world to end wars between nations freedom of spirit, individualism of per ' sonallty, abolishment of police court nnd. finally, the protection of men, who she declared, are now unable to pro tect themselves neninst the demands nml have be.cn waive 1 In j sufferings of war. All our lives we have been told men were the protectom of women," Mrs. Lawrence snld. "Well, nerhaps they arc. They ate, to some extent nt lenst, but there N one sense in which men cannot protect themselves nnd in which women must protect them. If civilisa tion Is to be saved. That is in the pre vention of wars through the mornl nnd physical influence of women. "When wars come men go whether they want to or not; they are drafted, thrust into uniforms, sent to camps. 'i i J i Is no other alternative under our present system. "Hlght there Is where women, ndw that they have the vote, can step In nnd protect them. We occupy n privileged position. Wo can raise our voices and protest and we enn take action If we will that will prevent the encroncb ment nf militarism nnd ultimately end nil wars. "We have outgrown the provincial ism and many of the ideas we cherished before the world war. We have found, for example, that a mother Is a mother everywhere. She Is a mother, with a mother's emotions nnd Instincts, whether In England, In Germany, In Austria or in France, and women arc determined that nations shall find some means of settling their differences other than by shedding of the blood of their sons. ' "There Is another war after the war, of which you haVc, perhaps, beard lit tle It In the war of disease and death on women nnd children In Europe. Eighty per cent of the children arc diseased or starving:. Tvnhus Is taking iltu toll in Poland end ltussla and Is threatening the world. Tuberculosis is taking thousands who survived the war itself. "Xet even now we hear talk of the LARGEST OLD BOOK STORE IN AMERICA next war, of bombs that WJit spread dls-J ease and death among wnoio popula tions, of explosives that will not oply destroy human life, but destroy vege tation over great areas. There arc more than a score of separate wurs in progress nt the present time, nnj one of which Is liable to flare up and again engulf the world, notwithstanding thnt the nations nro bnnkrupt. Men ore powerless to stop them. "The hope of peace rests with the women of the world and wlin the work ers. When the women retime to sup port wars and the orneia lay down their tools warn will end and the na tions will dwell In pence. Mrs. Lawrence declared Great Brit ain, although "by far the moat iu peroim of the European nations which went through the war," is unable to pay her war debt. Members of the National Women's party demonstrated the knowledge of & radical politics after the lecture by iking Up a collection among the guests. Hut the tea was excellent.

Let us keep them company and take a " sight " through the periscope of Time. Darkness! The kind of darkness that you feel. In the midst of the Sty gian gloom, a little ship, one of Uncle Sum's destroyers. On guard! Somo wherc off the coast of France. " Some where " is a good word for a night like this. Add to the black murk a cutting wind with ah icy edge to it, a blare of angry waters, and you get a mixture you wouldn't like to prescribe for any man's comfort. But war is only an other name for duty. That's why this little destroyer is smashing into the thick of it. And doing a good job, too. And somewhere aboard that throb bing, panting, leaping ship is a clock. "The ship's chronometer," the navi gating officer calls it. But to gob and officer alike it is a symbol of home. For right there across its shining face is a familiar name Walthnm a name that is as much a token of Uncle Sam being on the job night and day as the good ship under them. But that's the other part of our story Time, in navigation, is as important as the sun and the stars. A reliable chronometer can always be seen in the Chart Room, but the sun does not always shine in the heavens. Small wonder, then, that the chief officer of a shit) is so finicky over this timepiece. Hi $1) rds it, he watches it, he prizes it, atjove all his possessions. It reckons for him the sea-miles when he has no other reckoning. It is the one friend he can depend upon when the elements league their cyclonic powers of wind and fog and storm against him. overcome as a United States battleship stripped for action. But wait When war was declared there were not enough foreign chronometers to go around. Here was the Amerjcan crafts man's chance, for which he had hecu waiting a long, long time. The Navy Department, in the vernacular, was up against it. "Chronometers! Oh, for some chronometers!" was the cry. So the Waltham Watch Com pany was called upon. " Can you supply the Navy with chronometers?" "Certainly! How many?" The order was given and with Yankee dispatch promptly filled. Indeed, Waltham eventually supplied more chronometers during the war than all other makes combined. Then it was that the Waltham Chronometer went to sea nnd shattered forever the cherished tradition of foreign chronometer supremacy by standing up under conditions of war that often put the alien chronometer out of business. And they stood up so consistently that prejudiced old salts in verbal and written praise saluted the performances of this American Keeper of Time upon the Sea. N' chrono-fanciful r(W the history of the meter is more or less a record of European supremacy. This tradition of the sea had it that the only reliable chronometer was one mnde either in England or on the continent. But many a tradition has been scrapped by necessity, and this is one of them. And any sailor-man will tell you that tradition in the Navy is as hard to FOR instance imagine an instru ment keeping the closest time in a subchaser, head on in a stormy sen. Every unit of the little ship shaking like a leaf. Straining, twisting, being buffeted, beaten. Now, hurled to the crest of a giant wave ; anon, plunging like a stricken bird into a yawning pit of swirling water; sometimes lifted bodily, then crashed down like a toy thrown from the hand of a giant and every moment that delicately adjusted but sturdy Waltham Chronometer tick ing the fleeting seconds, unconcerned except with the business of keeping time correct time, for the gallant lads who put their trust in this Watch Over Time while they keep their watch above or below deck. This was the acid test. But when we stop to think of it, Waltham had ' been preparing for over seventy years for our country's emergency because of Waltham invention in watch making, because of advancement unto advance ment in the art of developing time keeping mechanisms, and those miracle working machines that cannot he found or duplicated elsewhere in all the uorld, giving America precedence in this im portant industry. This, webeliee. was true preparedness; this was Waltham"'! pride and honor, in vindicating the sinew and ability of American Industry in war's fiery challenge, as no less the Waltham Watch has sustaiued Amer ican supremacy at the great Expositions in times of peace m WE should be remiss if we forgot the mighty dead those sonv of gci'iiis who labored long years in Wal tham laboratories for the glory of America, Charles an de Woerd, Duane II. Church, Charles Whitney, John Logan nnd others. "They rest from their labors, but their works do follow them." And no less those master American mechanics, Marsh and Ohlsun (tlif imentor of the Waltham Time Fuse), who are still adding lustre to the fame of the American Waltham Watch all over the world As Americans we should have lone: memories. It is inspiring to jvxiew the past. We hae much to elate us, to help us "carry on," to produce more and still more, to supply the world with the work of our brains and hands. For in labor, well and cheer fully done, is our health, wealth and happiness. yl 1 THE WORLD'S WATCH OVER TIME Tturt it a tuuliut BnUttfir , titling htm tht lFaltham Watth it ma J,.
